As requested by many, here’s THE ROLLING STONES new album ”Foreign Tongues [Bonus Track Edition iTunes exclusive]”, including as bonus track the song “Bad Luck Hideaway”, giving fans access to a previously unavailable recording written by Mick Jagger & Keith Richards, and featuring the late Charlie Watts on drums.
“Bad Luck Hideaway” was initially recorded during sessions at British Grove Studios in London in December 2015. The band later revisited and completed it—featuring the late Charlie Watts on drums—and finally included into “Foreign Tongues [Bonus Track Edition iTunes exclusive]”.
“Bad Luck Hideaway” is one of the best songs on the album, a melodic tune with Mick and Keith sharing great harmonies. The track isn’t available for streaming—it’s frustrating it’s only available on Apple Music and in selected countries, and that you have to purchase the entire album on iTunes just to get it – that’s why 0dayrox is here…

After featuring here the Bad Reputation remastered version of 1992’s WILDSIDE awesome album ‘Under The Influence’, many of you asked for this CD; “Formerly Known As Young Gunns [FnA Records remaster]“.
In 1988, at the pinnacle of the Hollywood Hair Metal craze, WILDSIDE, at the time called YOUNG GUNNS, was formed by guitarist Benny Rhynedance and vocalist Drew Hannah. Wildside would sign later with Capitol for that great album, but as YOUNG GUNNS they recorded a bunch of songs in pre-production quality, now released by FnA for the first time.
The sound quality is very good for the most part, and the songs capture that era’s hard‑rocking energy with an unrepeatable magic.
With a solid lineup, the band began an all-out assault on Hollywood. Sold out shows followed at the Roxy, Whisky, Troubadour, Gazzarri’s, and X-Poseur 54. Front page covers on all of the LA rock press magazines arose, and record labels began to take notice…

Uber talented British Steve Newman returns with his band NEWMAN new album “Your Next Move“, released today on AOR Blvd Records, marking the band’s sixteenth studio album and another strong entry in his long‑running melodic rock legacy.
As usual, we find polished AOR craftsmanship, highlighted by tight songwriting, dynamic arrangements and Newman’s trademark blend of melody and power. Opening track “Midnight Conversations” sets the tone with its modern edge and subtle twists, proving the genre can still surprise.
Steve deliver all vocals and almost all instruments, but as he isn’t skilled on drums, was clever enough to hire a pro-drummer in Rob McEwen to provide a real, human sound.
True to the essence that has made NEWMAN a cornerstone of the European melodic rock/AOR scene, ”Your Next Move is a finely crafted work”. Its meticulous production recalls the classic sound of the genre while embracing a contemporary edge.
Across its eleven songs, “Your Next Move” delivers hook‑laden, guitar‑driven melodic rock built for fans who value consistency, craft and heart. Highlights include Force of Nature, title track Your Next Move, Midnight Conversations, When You Lie, Love Can Be Wrong, etc…

Swedish female-fronted rock band MARYLANE are set to return with their highly anticipated sophomore album, ”Seventh Sense”, arriving July 17, 2026, featured in exclusive on 0dayrox.
Blending elaborated melodies, hard-hitting riffs, and heartfelt lyricism, the new songs showcases the band’s continued evolution while remaining true to the powerful rock sound that first captured listeners’ attention. The album was mixed & mastered by renowned producer and guitarist Andy La Rocque (Lex Legion, King Diamond) at Sonic Train Studios, bringing a polished yet dynamic sonic landscape that perfectly complements MARYLANE’s energetic approach.
The band blends vintage rock sounds with modern production. ”Seventh Sense” embodies Rock in the fullest sense of the word—drawing on melodic hard rock, blues, rock&pop and eclectic touches. The female vocals of Mary Marylane give the album a fascinating personality, transporting you back to the voices of singers from the ’70s through the ’80s.
Once again, the Swedes show exactly what pure Rock is, without unnecessary extras, focused and with every song interesting in its own right…

YES celebrates the 50th anniversary of one of its most storied performances with Live At Roosevelt Stadium, Jersey City, 17 June 1976. The live recording first official release arrives on the heels of the band’s new studio album, ‘Aurora’.
This is the full concert, featuring the ‘Relayer’ line up. Captured on June 17, 1976 at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City, this newly released concert documents YES at full mid-’70s strength—bold, exploratory, and firing on all cylinders.
Performing to a massive open-air crowd during their 1976 North American tour, the band delivers expansive arrangements, virtuosic interplay, and the unmistakable sense of scale that defined YES as one of progressive rock’s greatest live acts.
The formidable Relayer lineup of YES — Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, Chris Squire, Alan White, and Patrick Moraz — performed in front of a capacity crowd at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City, NJ.
While the performance has remained one of the band’s most popular bootlegs for decades, this release marks its first official appearance, with a noticeable improved sound quality.
The recording finds the band at a creative peak during the “Solo Albums Tour.” Following the success of Relayer (1974), the members spent 1975 recording five individual solo projects; this 1976 tour was the first time these new arrangements were integrated into the live set.
The performance balances full-band epics like “The Gates Of Delirium” and “Ritual” with staples like “Siberian Khatru” and “Heart Of The Sunrise.” The set also features rare individual spotlights…

UK progressive, alternative metal band HAKEN return with their first new music in 3 years, in the shape of ‘in a fever dream’ (in lowercase). This new effort sees the band working with a producer for the very first time, bringing George Lever on board to help shape the next stage of the band, crafting some of the most direct material of the bands career so far.
Currently without permanent bass player, HAKEN enlisted renowned bassist Bryan Beller (The Aristocrats, Joe Satriani) to contribute.
HAKEN have always changed their style from release to release, that’s really just how they operate. They went in a simpler, more metal oriented direction with Vector and Virus and then reeled it back in for the widdly-widdly prog on Fauna.
On ”In A Fever Dream” song are more ‘songs’, only a few shifts in tempo or twisted arrangements. These songs are just an honest and blunt representation of what the guys in the band are feeling in the wake of 2 longtime members departing the band, mere months ago. The lyrics seem to betray this, and while I don’t know if they were written specifically about band troubles, they do feel like someone who’s lost in a surreal plane of existence, like after some traumatic event takes place in your life. It’s darker. It’s a bit macabre, even. You can hear the struggle to break free of the fever dream, so to speak…

Acclaimed American hard rock band TESLA are ready to release ”Homage”, their upcoming new album on Frontiers Records. Marking a full-circle moment in their storied career, the album finds the band returning to their roots with a collection of covers honoring some of rock’s most timeless hits.
The band said about the album; “It’s hard to believe that it’s been over 40 years ago that we started out as a cover band in the night clubs of California before writing and recording our own songs and selling millions of albums. Just like our musical heroes The Beatles, Rolling Stones, or even Jimi Hendrix, all artists who honed their craft by learning cover songs from the legends before them, we did the same as youngsters and still enjoy paying tributes and recording cover songs today.
”Homage” is our new album that not only pays tribute to legends but gives us a chance to showcase our lead singer’s diversity as well as the musical dynamics we learned as a band many years ago. An offering to the great singers and songs that shaped the music we grew up listening to and the songs we would eventually write.”
This isn’t about imitation. It’s about acknowledgment. About tracing the line from influence to identity, from listening to becoming. You ask why?… Why not! It felt like a good thing to do, it’s been 20 years since we did Real to Reel… It sparked writing a new original Tesla song called “Never Alone”.
Each track highlights Jeff Keith’s dynamic vocal range while honoring the timeless music that defined generations. More than a cover album, ”Homage” is a heartfelt thank-you to the artists who inspired TESLA, and a celebration of the journey from influence to identity…

Eight years after their explosive debut, Los Angeles progressive metal / melodic metal shred-lords NOVAREIGN return with an hour of technical mastery and soaring anthems on their new CD “Shifting The Axis Of The World“.
”Shifting The Axis Of The World” delivers a blend of intricate guitar work, frequent tempo shifts, melodic songwriting, and an epic progressive power metal atmosphere. This is ‘prog melodic metal’ as it should be done; metallic but rich in melody, with a sound reminiscent of the very early ’90s.
After the successful debut album, the touring that followed only added to the band’s growing reputation, with the group sharing stages alongside acts like Michael Schenker, Angra, White Wizzard, Rhapsody Of Fire, and many more, along with festival appearances at Mad With Power, Hyperspace, Ruinfest, and Frost And Fire.
Despite containing just seven tracks, “Shifting the Axis of the World” clocks in at nearly an hour, marking Novareign’s long-awaited return with their signature blend of melodic metal fused with progressive complexity, featuring rapid-fire twin-guitar harmonies, intricate rhythmic structures, and soaring, epic vocal performances throughout.
A very strong, lovely made old-school prog metal album…

As requested, here’s the remastered reissue of “Under The Influence“, the 1992 superb album by US melodic hard rockers WILDSIDE. Regarded as the last great album from the American glammy hard rock / hair metal era, “Under The Influence” is a fantastic no-fillers all-killers disc plenty of awesome melodies, twin guitar attack catchy riffs and layered harmonies.
This is the Bad Reputation reissue, very well remastered obtaining a vibrant punchy sound.
Produced by Andy Johns (VH, Led Zeppelin) at Eddie Van Halen’s 5150 studio, the 12-track album is praised for its razor-sharp riffs, gritty attitude, and soaring vocals – a kick ass record from start to finish.
Frontman Drew Hannah’s biting vocal delivery and Brent Woods’ heavy, melodic guitar work drive a sound that sits comfortably alongside bands like Skid Row and Guns N’ Roses, and sure, Seattle was around the corner, but if released four years earlier “Under The Influence” would have been a hit.
There’s no question that ”Under The Influence” is an amazing record that has stood the test of time. Still sounds fresh today…

Fury formed in 1980 in Staten Island, New York, but as bein too many band with that name, they operated under the N.Y. FURY banner. The rocked the East Cost all over the decade with their own brand of hard-hitting metal / hard rock with a melodic commercial feel until disbanded in 1990. Throughout the decade, N.Y. FURY recorded worthy material, but it was only released by themselves / distributed locally.
Fast forward thirty-plus years, N.Y. FURY first official public release was released by Eonian Records, but there’s was much more previously vaulted studio recordings, and this second CD titled ‘Reach For The Stars” was released – an ’80s nostalgic kick where the band worship of everything KISS, Iron Maiden, Twisted Sister and more, alongside their own infusion of radio-friendly melodic rock makes for a trip down memory lane.
If you love 1985 / 1989 KISS with their Seventies style soloing, you need to hear ”Reach For The Stars”. It’s an album with a lot of swagger. An album with plenty of attitude. An album with a lot energy, melody and groove. Perfect fodder to move to, to head-bang to and to have fun to.
It’s always interesting to listen to a band that didn’t quite ‘make it’ when they clearly had all the tools to do so. What stopped N.Y. FURY when their music is so clearly accessible is a bit of mystery.
All songs are professionally recorded and sound quality is excellent…

Italy, together with Sweden, were in the last two decades or so the generating plants responsible – in grand part – for the Melodic Rock / AOR resurgence around the world.
One of these is CHARMING GRACE, the project developed by Shining Line and Lionville rhythm section Pierpaolo ‘Zorro’ Monti (drums) and Amos Monti (bass), together with Davide ‘Dave Rox’ Barbieri (lead vocals & keyboards in Wheels Of Fire).
Their self-titled debut “Charming Grace” is, of course, a classy Melodic Rock / AOR release that will make every single fan of these genres very happy. This now out of print Japanese edition adds an exclusive bonus track.
Most of the songs were written by Zorro and Davide except two covers; Bon Jovi’s “Everybody’s Broken” and Belinda Carlisle’s major 1989’s hit single “Leave A Light On”. What it’s truly impressive is the list of musicians involved: every track features a guest star sharing lead vocals with Barbieri, and the guitars are provided by renowned axe slingers.
Among the highlights it’s a real pleasure listening again ex-Boulevard (Canada) singer David Forbes recording again after more than twenty years in the smooth “Shining Light”.
The phenomenal voice of Michelle Luppi (Los Angeles, Vision Divine) sounds fabulous on “Close Your Eyes”, a track with an ultra catchy chorus and making it clear that Luppi is at his best moment. This man needs to record a solo album immediately.
Nick Workman (Vega) rocks good..

After years as frontman for some of the most iconic rock bands, ERIK GRÖNWALL returns with a 2026 solo album entitled “Bad Bones”. The Japanese edition includes an exclusive bonus track, “Life Goes On” (featuring Erik Martensson on guitar), one of the best tunes on the album. This Japan CD is nearly sold out and already getting quite expensive.
Known worldwide for his powerful voice and impressive stage presence, Erik has made a name for himself as the frontman of SKID ROW, H.E.A.T., and most recently through tours across Europe and Japan (as well as recording a UFO anniversary album), where he took over lead vocals for guitar legend Michael Schenker.
With “Bad Bones,” he now turns his focus inward, delivering a raw and honest statement that heralds a bold new chapter in his career. The single “Bad Bones” sets the tone for an album that is fearless, personal, and uncompromising. After some (terrific) cover albums, “Bad Bones” consists exclusively of original material and marks a return to the core of songwriting – honest, powerful, and deeply personal.
Stylistically the record delves into all areas of Erik’s career to date. The sound is close to H.E.A.T, with touches of the band’s evolution in sound, while also taking in some new influences and that grittier hard rock sound heard with SKID ROW and NEW HORIZON.
One of the BEST albums of the year…

One of our contributors tipped us off to this remarkable release: OZZY OSBOURNE‘s album “The Other Side Of Ozzy Osbourne” only released in Japan on vinyl & cassette back in 1985.
This obscure, ultra-rare release is quite a find for fans of Ozzy — it’s essentially a B-sides compilation of Osbourne’s early solo work (from 1980 up to 1984). This the only release that does not feature a logo of Ozzy. Side A features music with Randy Rhoads, and Side B with Jake E. Lee.
This is a HQ vinyl-rip, great sound. The LP was released with a two page informational / lyrics insert plus 3 album sized photo pinups: images include Ozzy Osbourne, Jake ‘E’ Lee and Randy Rhoads. All scans are in excellent quality.
And what makes ”The Other Side of Ozzy Osbourne” a must-have are the five tracks that feature guitar legend Randy Rhoads (three live, two outtakes). When Rhoads died in early 1982, he unfortunately had only two official albums to his credit (1980’s Blizzard of Ozz and 1981’s Diary of a Madman). Subsequently, fans have been subjected to abysmal-sounding bootlegs of material not up to the high standards set by these two classics.
Even with the release of the Ozzy/Randy posthumous Tribute live album and numerous Osbourne anthologies, these tracks have managed to slip through the cracks. “You, Looking at Me Looking at You” is a rocking outtake from the Blizzard of Ozz sessions and contains a classic Rhoads’ guitar solo. The other track, “You Said It All,” was never properly recorded in the studio, and only this in-concert take exists (but it deserves to be heard because of its powerful guitar riff). And while the three live Randy-era songs are pleasures to hear, similar versions were later featured on the above-mentioned Tribute album.
The other five tracks showcased on “The Other Side Of Ozzy Osbourne” feature Randy’s replacement, Jake E. Lee; while Lee only lasted for two studio albums himself, he was a very original and talented player.
For proof, just give a listen to his awesome playing on the killer studio track “One Up the ‘B’ Side” and the live version of “Bark at the Moon,” where he simply shreds.
It’s a mystery that this album was never released in countries besides Japan, since it contains a wealth of material that many Ozzy fans don’t even know exists to this day. It’s never been released on CD either, so happy hunting in used record stores (being sold for $600 now!)

We featured the just released very early material from British melodic hard rockers Blue Blud, and their first official album. And now you need to hear their sophomore and last effort “Universal Language“, issued in 1991, where the band slightly shift their name to BLUE BLOOD. This Japanese pressing adds a bonus track and sports different artwork.
Echoing their prior LP, BLUE BLOOD fuse European and American influences with a refined production—less flamboyant, more organic. As example, the bass guitar gets a prominent role on “Universal Language”, turning these melodic songs toughter.
Musically these songs are very solid, with clever arrangements and strong choruses, a BLUE BLOOD / Blue Blud trademark. On this album, sonically the band brings to mind, at places, of 21 Guns, at others, Germans Casanova. Among the highlights there’s ‘She Shakes Me Up’, title track ‘Universal Language’, the midtempo AOR of ‘Cruel World’, and the bluesy ‘Homebound Train’. The disc also packs two power ballads; the very good ‘Say A Prayer’ and ‘Share The Night’.
The Japanese bonus track ‘Fool’ is a slow tune also, not exactly a ballad, but based in atmosphere…
