Background
We were caught by surprise when the first Atkins May Project CD 'Serpents Kiss' landed on my doorstep back in 2011. The duo of Al Atkins (formerly of Judas Priest) and guitarist come instrumentalist Paul May seemed like an unlikely union at first, but the combination has gathered steam thanks to the good reception given to that debut album. Al and Paul returned late in 2012 for CD number 2.. 'Valley Of Shadows'. The riffs are still as thick as a fuII head of English beer while the back-beat is as demanding as a plate of full English Breakfast. Definitely an album to consume on a full stomach. There's not too much difference between the two albums, Atkins and May preferring to keep to the same formula.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
