“Don’t blame me for glam metal. Most of those bands played their hairspray cans better than their instruments”: The wild story of Hanoi Rocks’ Back To Mystery City, the glam-punk classic that helped invent Guns N’ Roses

Dec 7, 2024 | loudersound.com | Ken McIntyre

Early 80s glam-punk peacocks Hanoi Rocks were one of Finland’s biggest musical exports. The five studio albums they released between their formation in 1979 and their split in 1985 were an influence on Guns N’ Roses, Poison and even Alice In Chains. But it’s their fourth album, 1983’s Back To Mystery City, that captured them at their best. In 2013, singer Mike Monroe and guitarist Andy McCoy looked back on the making of a cult classic.

What happened when the singer from The Archies made an unlikely AOR album

Oct 2, 2024 | loudersound.com | Ken McIntyre

Much like his fellow comic-book character Howard The Duck, Ron Dante was once trapped in a world he did not make. As the lead singer of The Archies, he was one of the primary architects of the relentlessly upbeat, hook-heavy ‘bubblegum’ sound that swept the charts and the airwaves in the late 60s and early 70s. From Sugar Sugar to Bang Shang-A-Lang, Dante was racking up the hits left and right. The only problem was, The Archies weren’t a real band.

On the ninth, maybe tenth day, God created The American Teenage Rock’N’Roll Machine and he named it Redd Kross. Founded by two underage brothers just before the 80s arrived, the band quickly evolved from their hardcore punk roots to a pastel-coloured explosion of 60s-inspired psych and 70s powerpop, infused with a near-obsessive affection for pop culture also-rans.
The story of the All Sports Band, Cleveland's favourite gang of nylon-abusing supervillains

Sep 4, 2024 | loudersound.com | Ken McIntyre

In the USA in 1981, nobody cared about anything anymore. Everything was dead. All the wild and tantalising hopes of disco and punk had bled out into mall-ready R&B and lukewarm skinny-tie power-pop, respectively, and the only sounds blasting out of vans or Camaros on the streets were either the dirtbag metal of Ozzy and Iron Maiden or the relentless AOR mush of REO Speedwagon and Foreigner. It was Ronald Reagan’s fault, really.

Trap review: "M. Night Shyamalan drops the goofy twist for an intense thriller"

Aug 6, 2024 | yahoo.com | Ken McIntyre

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. If you are expecting some wild twist in M. Night Shyamalan's latest, you will be disappointed. There isn’t one. It doesn’t turn out that everybody was dead the whole time or that the wind was out to kill us. Here’s the crazy thing though: for once, Shyamalan doesn’t even need the third-act turnaround to deliver a wildly entertaining thriller.
