BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
Light into the dark on the outskirts of the city

A new documentary highlights the genesis of "Darkness On The Edge Of Town". Bruce Springsteen and Jon Landau independently remember a story that never let go of the boss.

The eclipsed annual review 2010

What was true for the last twelve months in the first decade of the 21st century is also true for the first year in the new decade: Rock with its many facets cannot be reduced - many old fighters are still there, but nobody has to worry about young talent either.

ROSE KEMP
The Acceptance of the Terrible

Rose Kemp has presented a disturbing and fascinating successor to her album "Unholy Majesty". The mood and tonal shades of "Golden Shroud" range from care-grey to tedious black. The artist herself, of course, sees "extremely optimistic songs" in the three longtracks.

WOLF PEOPLE
Something for everyone

Their music delights both classic and psychedelic rock fans alike. And folk rock enthusiasts also feel at home with Wolf People. Despite many musical quotes, for example from Deep Purple or Traffic, the debut album of the British band stands for itself.

R.E.M. - IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT (AND I FEEL FINE)

When R.E.M. released "It's The End Of The World As We Know It" in 1987, they hit the nerve of the time with their gloomy prognoses for the future. The text is based on a nightmare - and evokes associations with a zipped television evening.

Shopping list AC/DC
Let There Be Rock!

Let there be sound! Let there be drums! Let there be guitar! Let there be ROCK!!! The formula with which AC/DC conquered the rock world from Australia is as simple as it is effective. Nourished by blues and traditional rock'n'roll, the band around the songwriting trio Malcolm and Angus Young as well as frontman Bon Scott developed a rock show from 1973/74, which has washed itself..
