  • ROSS NELSON 2025

    I hate it when I hear people bemoan the current state of Rock ‘n’ Roll – “there’s no good bands anymore”…”there’s no venues hosting bands”…. These people aren’t trying hard enough. There’s so many great bands, artists and records out there and it’s really not too difficult to find them.

    In 2025 I found plenty to love and there’s way too many records that have eluded me. But of the stuff that I spent quality time with these are my picks.

    2021 ALBUMS:

    1. COURETTES – “BACK IN MONO” (DAMAGED GOODS) 
    The Courettes
    still seem to be without profile in these parts but have been gathering plenty of fans across Europe over the past few years. A Brazilian/ Danish wife (guitar & vocals)/ husband (drums) team who have been fine tuning their garage crossed with 60’s girl group sound, culminating in this whizz bang LP.

    2. HARD-ONS - I'M SORRY SIR, THAT RIFF'S BEEN TAKEN (CHEERSQUAD) 
    I thought the prior Hard-Ons album was their best yet and then they go and drop this. Hard to beat!

    3. CIVIC - FUTURE FORECAST (FLIGHTLESS)
    Fantastic rockin’ album which delivers on the promise of their earlier EP and singles.
