After several anticipations in the past months and weeks, Italian rockers ALIVE are now ready to release their new album entitled “Rewind And Play”, a true and pure tribute to classic rock and Eighties’ sound.
Alive looks at Van Halen, Mr Big and Extreme as their main influence but the new album outlines some personal and strong features that make the music of this Italian rock band modern and worth of interest.
In occasion of the release, Alive decided to make a gift to all their rock-addicted fans with the official video of ‘1 For All’ just released on the Volcano Records & Promotion’s YouTube Channel. The prolific collaboration of the band with the Italian record label started many years and albums ago and led Alive on the legendary stage of Whisky A Go Go in Los Angeles in occasion of the Volcano Rock Night 2020.
If you are nostalgic about the glorious decade of Eighties rock, Volcano Records & Promotion is proud to present to you ‘Don’t Care About It’, the new single of ALIVE, Italian hard rock band that grew its attitude straight down in Hollywood.
‘Don’t Care About It’ is available on Volcano’s YouTube channel and anticipates the new album that will be out on October 28th. It comes right after the epic experience ALIVE lived in Los Angeles a couple of years ago when these Italian fellas traveled to Southern California to play the legendary Whisky A Go Go on Sunset Boulevard during the Volcano Rock Night 2020. ‘Don’t Care About It’ mixes with maestry and irony a full legacy of high influences from Van Halen to Extreme, with a solid rhythm section, exciting guitar parts and solos, and the ‘old-but-gold’ high pitch voice totally on the right spot. Check this out at the link below and stay tuned for other anticipations coming further on.
Hard Rockers ALIVE have teamed up with Metal Shock Finland to premiere exclusively the band’s new video “Money&Control”, taken from the band’s latest effort “Lookin’ For a Future”, released on March 29th 2019, via Volcano Records.

ALIVE is a new hard rock band that blandes the energy of its debut album with the rock tradition. Indeed, the group of five aims to keeping the hard&heavy sounds ‘alive’, which are re-proposed in a modern way, featuring current topics. The band was founded by the guitarist Giuseppe Ricciolino. After he met the singer Marco Patrocchi, the project come to life. Shortly after that, it has also involved the bassist Mattia Tibuzzi (Engine Driven Cultivators). The band was finally completed with the drummer Dario Di Pasquale (Setanera) and Simone Aversano (ex Thrillz) in the role of rhythm guitarist.

Australian rockers BAD MOON BORN are back and ready to rock with a new video for the single ‘Alive?’.
“Alive?” was produced at Eldorado Studios LA by the late and incredibly inspiring Kato Khandwala (The Pretty Reckless, Pop Evil, My Chemical Romance, Paramore), engineered by the legendary Phil English (The Pretty Reckless), and mastered at Sterling Sound (NYC) by the phenomenal Ted Jensen (The Eagles, Billy Joel, Green Day, Nora Jones), this is first single off the new band’s EP due October 2018.
Kato Khandwala played an integral part in its development, not only as a producer and mentor but as the band’s biggest supporter over in the States. He has produced some of rock’s best-selling albums by artists such as Blondie, Paramore, My Chemical Romance, Papa Roach, Pretty Reckless and many more.
Watch the video below:
With symphonic guitar solos, piercing vocals and infectiously melodic hooks, BAD MOON BORN’s “Alive?” will invigorate your senses.
“The song is about how the media, establishment, religion and industry seek to feed people with lies, fear and systematic belief systems in order to control them and to own their thoughts. Are we Alive?”, stated the band.
The new song is available on iTunes, Google Play and Spotify.
SONS OF APOLLO –former Dream Theater members Mike Portnoy and Derek Sherinian, Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal (ex-Guns N’ Roses), Billy Sheehan (The Winery Dogs, Mr. Big, David Lee Roth) and Jeff Scott Soto (ex-Journey, ex-Yngwie Malmsteen’s Rising Force)— have released the Vicente Cordero-directed video for ‘Alive’ from their highly anticipated debut album, ’Psychotic Symphony’.
