Mother Mersy - Kiss Me
Given To Rock
by Giovanni Gagliano
10h ago
Mother Mersy has been around since 2015, spreading the religion of brutal rock n' roll. The band has established themselves as a strong rock n' roll live sensation with engaging live performances powered by raw energy and emotion. The band is influenced by bands and musicians such as David Bowie, Joni Mitchell, Aerosmith, Jeff Buckley, Rival Sons, and Led Zeppelin, as well as Stephen King's dark personal portraits and the powerfully uncompromising participants of RuPaul's Dragrace. This is their brand new single, called "Kiss Me". I love the contagious and pure rock guitar riff at the be ..read more

DEEP PURPLE – =1 (2024)
Given To Rock
by Giovanni Gagliano
6d ago
Every band should get old like Deep Purple. True to what they love and used to do but not pretending that they are still in their 30s. "=1" is Deep Purple's twenty-third studio album, and the most significant change is Simon McBride, the new guitarist who joined the band after Steve Morse's departure and provided a spot on performance, especially regarding solos, all very inspired. Three singles were released before the album, Portable Door, Picture of You, and Lazy Sod, all good songs, especially the last one, my favourite among the three. I love the opener Show Me, with vibrant verses an ..read more

Scorpions' "Wind of Change": The Soundtrack of a Revolution
Given To Rock
by Giovanni Gagliano
1w ago
If one song perfectly captures the spirit of change and hope from the late 80s and early 90s, it's Scorpions' "Wind of Change." Released in 1990 on their album Crazy World, this power ballad became an anthem for the end of the Cold War and the fall of the Berlin Wall. Let's look at how this iconic track came to be and why it still resonates today. The Story Behind the Song "Wind of Change" was written by Scorpions' lead vocalist Klaus Meine after the band visited Moscow in 1989. They played at the Moscow Music Peace Festival, a massive rock concert that brought together Western and Easte ..read more

MR. BIG – Ten (2024)

If you clicked on this page you probably know the story of the band, and you know that the band has changed the drummer again, choosing one of the best on the market for them (considering that he is also a singer): Nick D'Virgilio. Ten will probably be the American band's last album, as their last tour is a farewell tour. But we can't be so sure, considering that some bands have been touring for years and years saying "Hey, this is our last tour".  But let's talk about the album, which unfortunately to my ears, is one of the weakest of their career, if not the weakest. Ten feature ..read more

Pseudopomp - 23
Given To Rock
by Giovanni Gagliano
2w ago
Pseudopomp, a London-based alt-rock duo, have released their debut single '23'.  This indie-rock song celebrates early-stage romance with personal lines and a powerful garage rock chorus. In some respects, '23' recalls the narrative of how Pseudopomp got together, therefore they couldn't resist a little grim humour by evoking their home teams' comparable, if dysfunctional, merger.   In 2021, the two met as members of another band and played different instruments. After hours of jam sessions produced several songs, the band decided to create a separate outlet for their creativity ..read more
