The 'Live At The Astoria' is the sum of what had been expressed in the previous thirty years: a sincere, passionate, raw and delightfully "old" music.

 McPhee’s guitar style reflects a sincere dedication to Music itself, with his abrasive riffs sometimes strictly classic, other times noisy and acidic.

This review highlights The Groundhogs' 1998 live album 'Live at the Astoria' as a passionate and raw blues rock performance. It places the band within the context of British blues history and praises Tony McPhee's authentic guitar style. Despite their limited commercial success, the album is described as a sincere expression of blues music, appealing especially to long-time enthusiasts. The music features solid, repetitive rhythms with powerful riffs and occasional psychedelic influences. Discover The Groundhogs' raw blues rock power—listen to Live at the Astoria now!

 Soror Dolorosa do not aspire to sound original, or at the very least personal, but they limit themselves to wielding their instruments with the didactic approach of a professional cover band.

 Despite everything, our Guys manage to win us over and endear themselves to us, giving us nice sensations, especially thanks to two or three pearls that solace the expense of purchasing their last effort.

The review covers Soror Dolorosa's 2013 album 'No More Heroes', highlighting its strong 80s dark-wave influences and skilled musicianship. While technically polished and evocative of The Cure and Sisters of Mercy, the album lacks originality. Noteworthy tracks like 'Hologram', 'Wormhole', and 'Exodus' bring moments of emotional depth and charm. The album appeals mainly to fans of nostalgic post-punk and gothic rock but doesn't break new ground. Discover the nostalgic charm of Soror Dolorosa's No More Heroes—listen now and experience classic dark-wave at its best.

 "The latest effort seems to wander here and there, without a precise goal."

 Some of his chord progressions contained within them have the exquisiteness and effectiveness of a symphony.

 The most realistic issue this artist has been grappling with for almost thirty years now is the relentless comparison of his solo output with the Supertramp catalog.

The album features polished sounds and thoughtful arrangements, with only a few standout melodic tracks.
