What's coming up?

My daughter's birthday was this past week and it just happened that her preschool was going to the circus two days later. So we skipped doing a party this year and just kind of had the circus trip as her big birthday event. We all enjoyed going yesterday. Other than that I am trying to make it through reviewing items and trying to send out and reel back some interviews. So here is what I hope to have out this week.

Interviews with...
The devil and the sea
Thor

Reviews of...
Witch-Paralyzed
Bullet for my valentine-Scream aim fire
Biochemical-Cannibalized
Diamond Head-Borrowed Time and Canterbury re-issues (hopefully on the same day)

Plus...
Lesser of two evils-This one might have a bit of a twist on it so tune in for this segment for sure.

I might even put out a Clash of the album covers if I can get to it.

***Lately I was thinking about younger hard rock/metal bands and it just seems like there are good bands coming out of UK and Europe lately or perhaps they have been there for a while and I just didn't notice. Anyway it's been three years since my favorite album of the year came from an American band (that was Acid King in 2005). However, I do think the best album so far in 2008 is from an American band ( that would be Byzantine) . So are American hard rock/metal bands slipping or other countries just clobbering us these days or what?
