RICK HUGHES DELIVERS A SPECTACULAR SOLO ALBUM WITH 'REDEMPTION,' REUNITES MEMBERS OF ONE OF OZZY'S BEST LINE-UPS FOR COVER OF THE WHO'S "THE REAL ME"

Canadian-born Rick Hughes is renowned for his powerful and rangey voice as the lead singer of the legendary metal band Sword, and of the hard-rock band Saints & Sinners. A seasoned performer with hundreds of headlining shows in Canada, America, Europe and Japan over the years, and his superb stage performances while opening for bands such as Metallica, Motorhead, Alice Cooper, Black Label Society, etc. 
 
So when it was time for him to record ‘’Redemption’’, his first international solo album, he spared no expenses and efforts to make this album a great one, hiring producer John Webster (Aerosmith, Mötley Crüe, AC/DC, etc.) and renting HippoSonic Recording Studio (formerly known as Little Mountain Studios) in Vancouver to record this opus.
 
The first salvo is came out September 5, 2025, and it is quite an event in itself: his first single and video is a supercharged version of The Who’s classic ‘’The Real Me’’ - reuniting after 43 years Ozzy Osbourne’s superband consisting of Brad Gillis on guitar, Rudy Sarzo on bass, and Tommy Aldridge on drums. This is the band that did the last leg of the ‘’Diary of a Madman Tour’’ in 1982 after the tragic departure of the great Randy Rhoads, and that then recorded Ozzy’s classic live album ‘’Speak of the Devil’’. 
 
"The Real Me" video can be viewed below , while the single can be streamed at https://push.fm/ps/ilgjszby.
 
Pick up the Limited Edition Bundle (100 copies) that includes a collectible 7” vinyl of the “Real Me” signed by Rick Hughes, Brad Gillis, Tommy Aldridge, and Rudy Sarzo.

The resulting sound is epic, and so is the spectacular video that was shot and directed by Matthew Lucas (Kringle Time, Moonshot, We Meet Again, etc.) at the state-of-the-art L.A. Castle Studios, with post and editing by Montreal’s Jean-Marc Laurin (Jurassic World, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Game of Thrones, Assassin's Creed, etc.).
 
''The Real Me stands as a cornerstone of my album 'Redemption'," says Rick. "As a lifelong fan of The Who, I wanted to pay tribute to the golden age of 70s rock. To capture that spirit, I brought together a true supergroup with Tommy Aldridge, Rudy Sarzo and Brad Gillis, a unique moment where legends unite to breathe new life into a classic.'' 
 
"This very special song is part of the upcoming Rick Hughes Album 'Redemption,' a collection of great rock songs to be released on Friday, October 24 2025 on CD, Vinyl, and Digital format worldwide by Deko Entertainment, and featuring more great collaborations with some famous musicians.
 
Included are 2 more songs featuring the superb songwriting and inspired guitar playing of the great Brad Gillis, another featuring the extraordinary talent of The Door’s legendary guitarist Robby Krieger, and great contributions from rock royalty Lee Aaron, vocal powerhouse Amy Keys (Ringo Starr, Phil Collins, Toto, Sting, Stevie Wonder, etc.), rising guitar hot shot Jacob Deraps, as well as Rick’s gifted sister, Lulu Hughes. 
 
With its great performances, 'Redemption' is a very special and unique rock album that brings together 7 songs in English, 1 bilingual and 2 songs in French.

UGLY KID JOE 30TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF MENACE TO SOBRIETY ON BOTH SINGLE AND DELUXE DOUBLE VINYL COMING IN NOVEMBER FROM DEKO ENTERTAINMENT

In 1995 Ugly Kid Joe released their 2nd full length record, Menace To Sobriety. A heavier and darker album than the predecessor, which fit the time, and Kerrang! Magazine called it “the album of year”, yet the album received little to no promotion in the US, validating vocalist, Whitfield Crane’s claim that their label was backing away from them.  

30 years later Menace To Sobriety’s true power is evident, without the bias of the times, and with the years having shown that many of the albums that were ignored by the labels prove to have much more life than the ones they spent their PR budgets on, Ugly Kid Joe may have recorded the heaviest and most consequential album of their careers. Menace saw the addition of drummer Shannon Larkin from Wrathchild America, and later of  Godsmack, and his impact was obvious from the opening of the powerful lead off track “God”. His playing propels the doom of the lead off single “Tomorrow’s World”, a track that shows how big of an influence Black Sabbath was on the band, and one of the stand outs on this album. The bands songwriting shines throughout this album, as does the musicianship, and of course the infamous Ugly Kid Joe sense of humor. “Milman’s Son” shows the depth of the band’s writing, and the different textures of Whit’s voice from smooth to snarl, the melody is memorable and so are the lyrics, sincere, yet humorous.  As the record rolls on we hear the powerful chemistry of the guitar duo of Dave Fortman and Klaus Eichstadt with riffs like “Clover” and the amazing “Jesus Rode A Harley”, and the heavy and funky bass playing of Cordell Crockett.  

View “Milkman’s Son” below:

Deko is proud to bring this album back to vinyl for its first Official Repress in two different formats! The single album reissue is on Ugly Kid Joe Ghostly Green, and a double LP pressed at 45RPM on an explosive Orange A-Side / B-Side Splatter that comes in a gatefold, both featuring the bonus track “Slower Than Nowhere”, which was not included on the US release of the album originally.  Both in limited pressings!  

Ugly Kid Joe was formed in 1989, and has released five full-length albums, two compilation albums and two EPs. They burst on to the scene with As Ugly as They Wanna Be (1991) and America's Least Wanted (1992), which were both certified double platinum by the RIAA; the former is notable for being the first EP to go platinum, and propelled by the hit songs “Everything About You”, “Neighbor”, “So Damn Cool” and the huge cover of “Cats In The Cradle”. The band broke up in 1997, and after a 13 year absence, reformed, and have been recording and touring almost annually ever since, and they show no signs of slowing down.

This is a must have for Ugly Kid Joe fans and continues Deko Entertainment’s mission to bring you some of the best reissues with the best sound quality and packaging from some of your favorite bands. Bringing some of these releases to vinyl for the first time including recent reissues from Union, Trapeze, Brian Setzer Orchestra, Dokken, Slaughter and Warrant.

GARAGE ROCK PIONEERS THE FIFTH ESTATE DROP "HOLD YOU CLOSER" SINGLE & VIDEO FROM UPCOMING ALBUM THEN AND NOW

A rock band out of a factory section of Stamford, CT by way of NYC. The Fifth Estate often played 5 or 6 hours a night, 6 nights a week, for months at a time. They rocked harder and heavier than most bands of the 60s. This did them no great service due to the AM Radio pop required of the day. So on a bet at a NYC party they jokingly did “Ding Dong The Witch is Dead”. It was a huge hit around the world. This and 3 other hits moved them on to huge concert around the country. Live they were ahead of things in the 60s and as Tomorrow Is My Turn could show you they already played what would become the thing in the 70s and again in the 90s and then and now again with bands like Oasis in the 2020s.

They stayed all these years doing what they do. Sometimes underground. Sometimes above ground. And now they will release a timeless album called THEN and NOW of all new tunes and a few covers. With the great guitar player and Grammy Winning producer Paul Nelson (Johnny Winter) on it, you can hear all that again. Starting with the first single “Hold You Closer”.

Watch video Below:

As Ken Evans states about the first single, “”Hold You Closer” is a rather beautifully heart felt tune about life and love when in the music business. May be understood by most musicians instantly and then soon by all. From Lover's Leap Bridge to the exhilarating real thing all in a day and night.” There are 15 songs in all with an amazing rendition of the classic “Great Balls of Fire”.

FORMER SPIN DOCTORS GUITARIST ANTHONY KRIZAN JOINS DEKO ENTERTAINMENT TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM "COOL SHADE OF BLUE" FEATURING "WHITE LINES" SINGLE OUT NOW

Anthony Krizan’s rock roots run deep. He was lead guitarist of the Spin Doctors, opening 15 dates for the Rolling Stones with audiences
of 70,000, and for the Allman Brothers. He played guitar with Jimi Hendrix’s legendary bassist, Noel Redding and is an original member of Amphibian, with Phish lyricist Tom Marshall. Anthony has also penned rock/soul staples such as Stand By My Woman with Lenny Kravitz, 5 songs on the Spin Doctors Greatest Hits, the theme of the Spin City TV series and The Howard Stern “Miss America” theme. Recently, Krizan co-wrote the title track to former Baby’s singer and solo artist John Waite’s 2022 EP, Anything, and also co-wrote the title track to John Waite’s Mercury release When You Were Mine.

But Anthony’s true passion lies in his solo work. Anthony’s solo band performances and songs are an electrifying, swampy, rock/blues/soul, genre crossing solo-coaster ride. His latest single “White Lines” has a slamming blues infused groove and Krizan explains the inspiration, ““White Lines” is a nod to one of my biggest guitar influences and heroes Jimi Hendrix. I set out to write a song that had the vibe and spirit of Voodoo Child. I played with Noel Redding, Hendrix ‘s bassist for about 10 years on and off. I hope Noel and Jimi are looking down and smiling and saying yeah man thank you.”

Watch “White Lines” below:

Cool Shade of Blue was produced by Krizan at his Sonic Boom Studios and has thirteen tracks in total, featuring other standout tracks like “Into The Groove”, Strawberry Wine”, and “Sin and Redemption”.

50TH ANNIVERSARY REISSUE OF ANGEL'S DEBUT ALBUM TO COINCIDE WITH THEIR 2025 TOUR!

Employing a dazzling mix of glam rock, hard rock, and progressive rock, Angel's outrageous, white-satin-heavy image and equally over-the-top stage shows, making them one of the more colorful arena rock bands of the mid '70s and early '80s. Discovered by KISS bass player, Gene Simmons, the group issued their eponymous debut album in 1975, which hewed closer to prog rock than the glam pop that would be on future endeavors like On Earth as It Is in Heaven (1977) and Sinful (1979). The group released a total of five studio albums and one live album before going their separate ways in 1981. The band officially re-formed in 2019 with original members, Punky Meadows and Frank DiMino, and released their comeback studio effort, Risen, later that October and followed up with Once Upon A Time in 2023.

The group's self-titled 1975 debut was recorded for Casablanca Records with a line-up comprising Frank DiMino (vocals), Punky Meadows (guitar), Gregg Giuffria (keyboards), Mickie Jones (bass), and Barry Brandt (drums). A heavy slab of heavy pomp rock with lengthy songs featuring the longtime stage favorite "Tower"

Watch “Tower” Below:

Now to celebrate the 50th Anniversary this classic has been remastered and is being released on both a 6-panel CD digipak and on 180G vinyl in two amazing Limited- Edition Colors with liner notes by journalist Dave Reynolds.

PROG ROCKERS RADIANT MOON TEAM UP WITH DEKO ENTERTAINMENT TO RELEASE THEIR DEBUT ALBUM NOW'S THE TIME, OUT NOW ON CD AND STREAMING EVERYWHERE

Radiant Moon was formed in 2021 when veteran musicians/songwriters Brian Facklam (keyboards, vocals) and Dave Shahin (guitar, bass, keyboards, vocals) joined forces with Jimmy Grillo (drums) and Nick Lieto (vocals). They came from very different musical backgrounds which helped to create a unique chemistry in the band. Dave Shahin has been in multiple original rock and prog bands as well as being Tommy Tedesco's (Wrecking Crew Guitarist) East Coast bassist in the 90's, and has performed with Steve Gadd. Jimmy Grillo is also a veteran of multiple original bands and has toured as Carl Palmer's drum tech. Nick Lieto was a singer, keyboardist, and songwriter for Frogg Cafe who besides releasing original albums also performed at the famed Zappanale festival in Germany. Brian Facklam has not only been a major part of multiple bands but holds a master's degree in music and music theory.

Together they've recorded their debut album Now's The Time and it is already garnering impressive reviews.

Listen to the album here: https://push.fm/ps/nttime

Now’s The Time has ten tracks in total and features exceptional musicianship and songwriting in the vein of Yes and Nektar which stands out on tracks like “Keep The Faith” and “Waking Dream”. Order your copy of Now’s The Time here: https://www.dekoentertainment.com/inthesquare/radiant-moon

Together, we can all identify the illusions that we experience which has created fear and has poisoned our universe. We are all human and equal with distinction and the message of love and peace is clear. Through sound and spirit, we will live life without fear and help create a world where everyone has hope. This electric feeling of elation we have all known is the spirit within us all. Search your soul and journey with Sumthing Strange on an intergalactic ride through this existence.

Hailing from two different worlds Alex Prusmack (SmackJonez) and Johnny Santoro (Still Standing) have created and developed a sound that is shocking the music industry, and it is evident on their latest single “Gorgeous”. As they explain, ““Gorgeous” is an ode to celebrating our joy of how beautiful life can be. Originally done by the band Gene Loves Jezebel, Sumthing Strange produced this re-imagination with love, excitement and raw emotion and a big chorus with tons of energy which just makes you want to dance. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.”

THE BRIAN SETZER ORCHESTRA’S 2000 ALBUM VAVOOM! FEATURING “GETTIN’ IN THE MOOD” RE-ISSUE DROPS IN MARCH ON LIMITED 180G COLORED VINYL.

The Brian Setzer Orchestra is a swing band formed in 1992 by Stray Cats frontman Brian Setzer. Their debut self titled album was released in 1994, and was followed up in 1996 with Guitar Slinger. In 1998, for their breakout album The Dirty Boogie, the group covered Louis Prima's "Jump, Jive An' Wail", which originally appeared on Prima's 1957 album The Wildest! and found themselves with a runaway hit! The album’s success led to a massive tour which ran from fall of 1998 through the summer of 1999, including a performance at the infamous Woodstock 1999. The Dirty Boogie’s success was capped off with a Grammy win for Brian’s version of “Sleepwalk” for Best Pop Instrumental in 1999. That would just be the first Grammy that Brian would bring home with the Orchestra.
 
With the success of the recent Guitar Slinger and The Dirty Boogie reissues from the Brian Setzer Orchestra we are now excited to announce for the first time on vinyl since 2000, Vavoom!. Remastered on 180g vinyl in two amazing Limited-Edition Colors. There are only 300 of The Americano and 700 of the Caravan Yellow. Vavoom! is the fourth release from the Brian Setzer Orchestra featuring “Pennsylvania 6-5000” and “Getting’ In the Mood”. Setzer uses his Rock-a-Billy style in league with some of the best standards from the big band era to produce some very cool finger snapping, get-up-and-dance
tunes.
 
Watch “Getting’ In the Mood” below.

Vavoom! continues Setzer’s interpretation of the swing era, and he has made classic songs of a bygone era accessible again to a new audience, with classics like “Mack The Knife”, and “Caravan” which won him a Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance in 2001 for his arrangement.

SPIRITS BURNING LED BY DON FALCONE AND FEATURING HAWKWIND FAMILY MEMBERS RELEASE LIVE AT KOZFEST

Spirits Burning is a music collective led by Don Falcone. The band celebrate space, prog, new music, and other genres, and have included input from family members of Blue Öyster Cult, Clearlight, Gong, Hawkwind, Van der Graaf Generator, and many other groups, as well as Porcupine Tree’s Steven Wilson and British science fiction and fantasy writer Michael Moorcock. Spirits Burning have released 20 albums, featuring almost 300 musicians.

In 2017, Spirits Burning performed live in England at Kozfest. The line-up: Hawkwind family members Richard Chadwick (drums, vocals), Bridget Wishart (vocals, EWI), and Steve Bemand (guitar, vocals), plus Don Falcone (keyboards, vocals), Kev Ellis (Kaoss Pad, vocals), Martin Plumley (guitar, vocals), and Colin Kafka (bass). This was a rare live show, as Spirits Burning have historically been a studio project. With musicians, located across the world from the U.S. to Europe to Russia to Japan, live shows had never been considered, making this a monumental release for the band.

As Falcone explains, “Our first live album! It captures our journey through the Spirits Burning catalog. Launching with a three-song suite with Bridget on lead and EWI and her Chumley Warner Bros partner Martin Plumley on acoustic guitar – the rest of the band providing a weaving space rock landscape. Then two rockers with me on lead vocals, followed by two driving instrumentals that showcase our rhythm section of Richard, Colin and Steve, along with some fiery guitar solos by Steve. Next is a song with Kev on lead vocals, then our cover of ‘Images,’ a song that Bridget, Richard, and Steve performed with Hawkwind on an early Nineties tour. The set concludes with two vocal songs with Kev and Bridget sharing the mic. The album includes two bonus studio tracks, songs that we performed three nights earlier in Bath, and which we didn’t have time for at Kozfest. The full story of our gig and the year leading up to it is covered in a book I’ve written – ‘One Of The Spirits Burning (A Musical Memoir)’ – coming from Stairway Press in 2025.”

This release captures the band in a unique setting and covering tracks from throughout the bands career. A must have for all Spirits Burning and fans of Prog Rock.

With the release of Numbers, his latest collection of originals, Mahoney’s style and passion for composing and performing stand taller than ever. As he states, “With my Numbers record, I approached things very differently from my previous albums…. I really wanted to capture the energy of a live band… to bring the LIVE energy to each composition… to intentionally and purposefully make a ROCK record… to have each track begin and end with the guitar, my constant songwriting partner. To capture what happens when my guitar and I put our heads and hearts together… and bring it ALL out…. and what better way to bring ALL this to life, then to inject into the very grooves of vinyl! A first for me, but it certainly will not be the last….”

Watch the video for “Ashes” below:

From enthralling melodic downpours to full-throttle rock ambiances that beg for you to turn up the volume, Numbers brings music fans a live-band experience that’s second to none.
