Don Airey (Deep Purple)
Deep Purple have just recently released their 21st studio album 'Whoosh' and I've got to say, definitely one of the best rock albums released so far in 2020. Have you heard it yet? I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with keyboard legend Don Airey about the album, his role in the band since...

FILIPPA NÄSSIL (THUNDERMOTHER)
One of the best hard rock albums you'll hear in 2020 is Heat Wave from Sweden rockers Thundermother! An album that has it all, balls to the wall rock 'n' roll, bluesy jams, soaring ballads and hard rock anthems that will have you cranking them loud and proud all the way to 11! I recently chatted…

Zakk Zedras (Red Circle)
In the early 2000's, Melbourne's RED CIRCLE seemed poised to bring anthemic and epic rock back from the shadows in which it had been lurking. Riding the wave out of Nu-Metal, in an era when discovering new music via Myspace was becoming a thing, bands such as Marvelous 3, Waltham and American…

It was awesome to chat with legendary guitarist Phil X this morning about the latest single and video from The Drills 'Right On The Money'. Another ball tearing rock song from The Drills, with a new album Stupid Good Lookings Vol 2 potentially being released later this year. Whilst 2020 hasn't...
-
Toby Rand (Ashen Moon)
One of the great things I enjoy about Rock Lives Here is discovering new bands and AshenMoon are easily one of the most exciting new bands I've heard in the last couple of years. New band by name, however with some familiar band members.... Gary Beers, bass player of INXS, Toby Rand, the voice of...

Julien Jorgensen (Rev Theory)
Over a decade ago, Rev Theory were one of the rulers of modern rock, with Hell Yeah & Voices being songs you couldn't escape, even down here in Australia. 2017 saw the band call it quits after a fast and furious decade, however in 2020, that has all changed, with the return of Rev Theory and an...

-
Rob Wylde (Midnite City)
Midnite City are one band definitely not to be missed at MelodicRock Fest in Melbourne in March.

I recently...

Blake Cateris (Molly & The Krells)
Every now and again, a band comes along that you've never heard before and instantly you're hooked. Well for me, such a band is the Sydney based Molly & The Krells.

Al Gammie (Teargas)
When MelodicRock Fest was announcing their lineup for 2020, one band I was hoping would make a return was Melbourne rockers Teargas. A band who reformed for the 2016 MelodicRock Fest and who hold special memories for me over the past 16 odd years. It was in 2004 when I first caught Teargas,...

Josh Setterfield
One of my favourite listens at the moment is the brand new EP from Josh Setterfield Till Dawn. The Aussie artist brings a twist to the country rock sound, with his formative music years spent in a pop-punk, combined with a love of country rock and 80's hair metal band bringing a blend of…

Clayton Bellamy (& The Congregation, The Road Hammers)
The beauty of rock n' roll is every so often something completely unexpected comes your way which becomes one of your new favourite things. For me in 2019 that new favourite thing has been Clayton Bellamy & The Congregation, quite simply one of the best damn rock n' roll records I've heard in a...

Cameron McKenzie (Horsehead)
If you grew up on Aussie ROCK in the 90's then Horsehead will need no introduction. Songs like Oil & Water and She Fell To Earth were never far from my ears in that decade and in the years since. Fast forward to 2019 and Horsehead have just released all their albums digitally, as well as their...
