Live At River Plate
Shot in December of 2009, AC/DC Live At River Plate marks AC/DC’s triumphant return to Buenos Aires where nearly 200,000 fans, and 3 sold-out shows, welcomed the band back after a 13 year absence from Argentina.

AC/DC Live At River Plate features 19 songs (110 minutes) as well as ‘behind the scenes’ footage of this massive production coming together among the excitement of anxious fans.

Sloan
Double Cross
2011 marks the twentieth anniversary of the band, and how better to honor such an occasion than a brand new album prolific with power pop gems?
Sloan delivers just that with their 10th album The Double Cross, a titular shout-out to the band’s 20th (or XX) anniversary. The album kicks off as awesome as universal healthcare with “Follow the Leader” and the sure-fire sync license riffage of “Unkind.”
One of their best albums to date.

Nazareth
BIg Dogz
After the critical success of their album The Newz, Nazareth approached the recording of this album with a sophisticated challenge: no tricks, no studio gimmicks: just the real thing - the authentic sound of the four members of the band in the studio.
The band retired in Prague and wrote all the new songs. Yet, instead of working like most artists do nowadays - artificially creating a polite version of their new compositions- Nazareth worked on the sound, on the essence of their interpretation as well as on the spontaneity of their performance.
The band ultimately wanted to bring the real spirit of Rock ‘n’ Roll back.
