Review: Blue Oyster Cult is set to release 50th Anniversary Live - Second Night in order to satisfy the overwhelming exciting for these concert events. This live album captures the band's iconic performance of their second album, 'Tyranny and Mutation,' from their historic three-night run at Sony Hall, NYC, in September 2022. Celebrating five decades of influential rock, the band's shows featured the entirety of their first three albums, with founding member Albert Bouchard making special appearances. For nearly three hours each night, Blue Oyster Cult delivered a mesmerising set filled with fan favorites, deep cuts, and classic hits. The band's lineup, featuring Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser, Eric Bloom, Richie Castellano, Danny Miranda, and Jules Radino, brought both nostalgia and fresh energy to the stage. Renowned for hits like '(Don't Fear) The Reaper,' 'Godzilla," and 'Burnin' for You,' Blue Oyster Cult continues to please audiences. Following their acclaimed 2020 album, The Symbol Remains, the band proves they are still a dynamic force in rock. This triple 12" properly celebrates this performance across its three piece set.

Review: Mr. Big's upcoming album Ten is a poignant tribute to late drummer Pat Torpey, featuring eleven original tracks that showcase the band's enduring talent. With Nick D'Virgilio stepping in on drums, the album is a testament to the band's resilience and musical musicmanship. Produced by Jay Ruston and MR. BIG, Ten promises to be a raw and unadulterated blend of riff rock and blues, infused with Mr. Big's signature style. The first single, 'Good Luck Trying,' is a loud and gritty blues rocker that harks back to the band's earliest influences. Eric Martin describes the album as a departure from their previous work, offering fresh and original material. Paul Gilbert's lyrics convey a sense of resilience in the face of life's challenges, with a touch of humor. Recorded both in the studio and on the tour bus, Ten captures the essence of Mr. Big's dynamic energy and showcases their ability to push musical boundaries. With the band retiring this year in 2024, Ten serves as a fitting farewell to a legendary band.
