The Bob Catley story is indeed one of legends. Born in Aldershot in 1947, he moved at an early age to Birmingham, where he pursued a musical career. During college, he joined several bands, including Paradox, where he was noticed by Status Quo members Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt.

When Paradox disbanded in 1970, Bob teamed up with Tony Clarkin to form Magnum — a name that needs no introduction in the world of quality British hard rock. The band got their big break when Jeff Glixman produced Chase the Dragon in the early 1980s. By then, Magnum had honed their own classic rock sound and later found commercial success with Just Like an Arrow in 1985.

When Tony Clarkin later explored a different style with his band Hard Rain, Bob Catley embarked on a solo career. This led to the release of The Tower, heavily supported by Gary Hughes of Ten. The album was a great success, followed by Legends and Middle Earth.

These three albums have since been reissued by Escape Music on both CD and double vinyl, featuring new artwork by Rodney Matthews and bonus tracks:
The Tower – ESM390 / ESMV1021
Legends – ESM396 / ESMV1025
Middle Earth – ESM399 / ESMV1028

It seems only fitting that the journey continues with When Empires Burn — now receiving the same deluxe treatment. A timeless addition to the Bob Catley collection.

Dino Jelusick is a Croation rock singer, musician and songwriter who was born in 1992. At first he was the lead singer for “Animal Drive” before progressing on to a member of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. He has since worked with Robert Plant, David Coverdale,  Michael Romeo, Jeff Scott Soto, Mike Portnoy, and Kip Winger, Khalil Turk & Friends “Turkish Delight” amongst many others. He has been very active these last few years and has gained a huge following not only in his own country but globally.

In 2023 Jelusick released “Follow the blind man” to an accepting audience and everyone has been eagerly anticipating the follow up album, and here it is in all its glory. We have here 10 new tracks of razor-sharp Hard/Heavy Rock that extend the band’s brilliance  to dizzy heights.

2023’s “Follow the blind man” was hailed as one of the best rock albums of that year and was released on both CD and Vinyl. It still stands high, and a follow-up has been talked about in recent months and here it is due for release later this year.

The band Jelusick have a knack of breathing fresh life into the world of rock music and this new album is no exception to the rule. From opener “Jaws of life” to the title track “Apolitical Ecstasy” there is everything for the discerning rock fan.

This is a worthy follow up to “Follow the blind man” and an essential purchase for 2025.

 Recorded Live 2023 in Liege Belgium at the golden age rock festival.

TEAZE came from Windsor, Canada. There was something almost un-Canadian about the evangelical fervour that TEAZE displayed. Brian Danter sang ‘til it hurt. Mark Bradac and Chuck Price invented slam dancing (and that was while playing their guitars). Mike Kozak,  who never let his drum kit get in the way of self-expression, regularly went screaming off the stage to be closer to his audience. It was three or four shows in one and nobody had a label for it.

The first TEAZE album was recorded in 1976 at a facility near Toronto called The Grange. The band thought they were taping demos, but an LP called “TEAZE” was released. It ultimately went on to sell more copies in Sweden than Canada.

After that, TEAZE was signed by Aquarius Records and the band moved to Montreal. In late 1977 they made an album called “ON THE LOOSE” with producer George Lagios. They began to gain a following and the next album marked a night of firsts. It was the first  show outside of Canada. It was their first outing as a concert headliner. It was their first (and only) live album, “TOUR OF JAPAN.”

The band was growing in popularity. A deal was signed with Capitol in the U.S. At last, TEAZE would be on sale “up North” in Detroit. “ONE NIGHT STANDS” needed to be a great album. It was, it was TEAZE’s finest work. The performance was passionate. The music  was powerful. The lyrics were lucid and clever. Producer Myles Goodwyn helped the band weave together all of their disparate elements. “ONE NIGHT STANDS” included the band’s most memorable songs, ”HEARTLESS WORLD” and “YOUNG AND RECKLESS”.

TEAZE’s fifth and final album, “BODY SHOTS” was a strong effort but at some point between their first and last recording the members of TEAZE had lost their brashness. The fourth LP indicated that their best might not be good enough. Getting released from their  U.S. deal proved to be a decisive blow and the band fragmented within six months of the release of “BODY SHOTS.”

Perhaps TEAZE was ahead of its time. It could be they were misunderstood. The five albums constitute a legacy. Maybe to really enjoy the best of TEAZE you had to be there.

Over time the various band members went their own ways but then a get together at a local restaurant would end with everyone on board to attempt the most unlikely 39-year reunion. The band would add local guitar, keyboard player and long-time friend Charlie  Lambrick to the group to provide the extra instrumentation needed for some of the more intricate material. Saturday practices throughout the fall and winter of 2018 would lead to a sold out TEAZE RESURRECTION show at Windsor’s Walkerville Theatre. The theatre,  filled with family, friends and fans from across Canada, enjoyed the first TEAZE show since 1980. THE AUDIENCE LOVED IT. THE BAND LOVED IT AND THEY WANTED MORE.

So here is more, united and resurrected, Teaze are still here and ready to rock!
