Rick's Pick: Kara

This week`s pick is the CD by Kara titled "Under A Fading Moon." This CD features female vocalist Kara, backed by Graham and the members of Avalon. The band has a lighter rock sound which could almost be called pop rock at times. The vocals are nice and tend to be more soft then forceful, which goes very well with the melody of the songs. This is a great CD for those who are looking for something different than the heavy stuff all the time. ~ Rick 56

Hate For Breakfast, White Monster, Avalon, Red White & Black

We regret to share this sad news regarding Italian hardcore giants Hate For Breakfast. The band announced that they will be disbanding after the newest release "Squadrismo Hardcore" and performing their final scheduled shows later this year.

Several of the members are involved in numerous other bands throughout Italy, including Bad Fate and Still Burning Youth, we hope to see additional works in the future from the HFB guys.
