Hey everyone, it’s Jupiter

Lee - East Coast Edi-

tor. Check out my record reviews here and be sure to add me on Facebook! Link is at the end of my column... about relationships that have perhaps gone sour. MEILLE’s melody driven vocal really has the edge while the band keep the rhythms rockin’! Track 04 Never give in: This uncontrollable fast pace, manic double bass drum pattern is awesome. Track 05 Worlds Apart has a wall of guitars .You won’t find any ballads or slow songs on here. Ok, track 06, Glad Rags, a slightly bluesy and contains a trace of a BILLY SQUIRE vibe shows even more versatility from them. Track 08, White Lines is probably a contender for another commercial hit! At 4:18 it’s just the perfect single with a tasteful guitar solo. Singer crushing it. These guys make up a great, exciting band and will be tough to reckon with. At 70 minutes in length there is a lot of fantastic music on MAJORS & MINORS. You can follow them by clicking on the link below.

No Tell Hotel Black Diamonds Metalapolis Records

Swiss rock and rollers BLACK DIAMONDS new album NO -TELL HOTEL is already getting a lot of attention. It’s their fourth studio album. The band was formed in 2004 by singer / guitarist MICHAEL KEHL. The new lineup for the band also features on lead guitar and newest member CHRIS JOHNSON, MANUEL PENG on the drums and bassist ANDI FASSLER. Aggressive , kick - ass rock with a pinch of POISON and a dash of AC/DC comes to mind. Many songs like the title track No-Tell Hotel ,Evil Twin , The Island, Anytime and especially Reaching For The Stars, all have opportunities for AirPlay. Glad to hear that the drums are prominent in the mix. A real test for your speakers! The album has twelve tracks all in the 3:00 - 5:00 minute range. Though a 4 -piece group , it sounds much bigger. Newly released in 2021 on METALAPOLIS RECORDS and coming in at one hour , you will want to check-in and spend more than a few nights with BLACK DIAMONDS at the NO-TELL HOTEL!
