 A right dirty dose of LA rocking is in order courtesy of Buckcherry, and boy, is it great to have them back! Fifth studio album ‘All Night Long’ is cock sure and up for action via a slew of swaggering tracks that’ll lodge themselves in the grey matter and refuse to budge. ‘Dead’ is loaded with attitude via driving guitars and Josh Todd’s whiskey-swilled vocal is as gritty as ever, while the emotion-laden ‘I Want You’ provides a real lighters-up sing-along moment. They may have been all ‘Lit Up’ in 99 and, as ‘All Night Long’ proves, there’s no sign of that torch burning out any time soon....full text |

| 's lean-and-mean blues-metal sound on the cut "Oh My Lord" and goes double-time glam-punk on the confrontational "Recovery." Yet "All Night Long" also contains a number of power ballads no doubt inspired by the success of "Sorry," the band's 2008 top 10 Billboard Hot 100 hit. On the song "I Want You" Todd credits a lover with saving him when he was lost, while "Bliss" asks, "Are you ready to feel like I do?/'Cause I can't stop thinking of you."...full text |

| Buckcherry couldn’t send a stronger signal with the opening pair of “All Night Long” and “It’s a Party” on their fifth album, All Night Long: the band has bounced back from the murky hangover of Black Butterfly with yet another soundtrack for an endless party. It’s more of the same -- a bunch of L.A. sleaze in the tradition of Aerosmith, the Crüe, and GNR, with just a little AC/DC for flavoring -- but the tone is decidedly lighter than the long hard slog of Black Butterfly, and not just because the ballads are a little sweeter. The swagger has a bit of a snap, the rhythms a little more swing, the guitars snarl a little bit harder -- subtleties that are notable when the music is so by the book, as Buckcherry’s is. If they can’t quite deliver the songs or hooks -- and they can’t -- they need to have the attitude, which they do here....full text |

| With two success albums behind you and the first single from your third crowned the best Finnish song of 2008 expectations are immediately set quite high, but this doesn’t seem to have affected Iisa and Mikko Pykäri and the final third of electropop trio Regina, Mikko Rissanen, when hatching ‘Puutarhatrilogia’. I won’t even try to be clever about their lyrics as my Finnish skills are limited to a count to three, but quoting the press release they work with “snapshot like stories of every day life”. Musically they elegantly mix pop sensations from the 1960s and forward, electronica and various world music styles (weird term, by the way: World Music – isn’t it all by now?) to a fascinating layer cake of contemporary electropop. The already saluted first single ‘Saanko Jäädä Yöksi?’ (“Can I stay the night?” according to the Google translator) is a prime example of the Regina spectre with its discrete, thumping Casio-beat below a running two-finger piano theme in the verse, a dance floor electro chorus (without going completely bonkers), a short touch of rumba in the second verse and a bit of tribal congas towards the end....full text |

| According to the band’s website, “Regina is Iisa Pykäri, vocals, Mikko Pykäri, bass, guitar and programming, Mikko Rissanen, drums.” They hail from Helsinki, the capitol of Finland, and this is their third LP. Flutework, congo drums, Indian, and Latin American influences give this album a tropical feel. With track names like “Terveiset päiväntasaajalta” (Greeting from the Equator) and “Tango merellä” (Tango at Sea) this should come as no surprise. “Iisa’s voice sounds lite and childlike, with a bit of a women’s edge peering out here and there.” Regina has concocted a fine blend of 80’s pop and 70’s disco combining synths with Bee Gees-like rhythms to create an album that takes you by the hand and begs you to dance along. The guitar work on “Sain levyt joita et halua kuunnella” reminds me of a “Last Dance“ by The Cure, and something about “Totuus minusta”'s urgency reminds me of “One Way or Another” by Blonde, except, the punk rock swagger is replaced with jungle and disco rhythms. “Vapaus” (Freedom) is probably my least favorite song on the album. However, the songs tend to get better as the album progresses, and the tracks flow together quite well for a pop album. Lisa’s voice sounds lite and childlike, with a bit of a women’s edge peering out here and there. At first, it reminded me of Macy Gray, at other times, a JPOP starlet or a Latina crooner. The way she calls out for Pauli on “Olen häviöllä, Pauli,” in that “I’m pining away for you” manner makes me wish I was Pauli....full text |
