Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes a comin' to 20CM (and no, not a Bowie reissue unfortunately!).

New partners, leaving some old partners behind, no more missed release dates, new UK office, new distribution, new website, the return of the guitar picks, the return of the postcards, and other "goodies."

Having said all that, our next round of releases will be at the end of January 2025 and it will be a three CD affair with releases
from Teeze, Defcon (yes, finally!) and Radio City to start your year off properly..

Further releases for 2025 include Roughhouse, Teeze vinyl, Sweet Pain vinyl, Divine Rite, Nasty Idols, Blue Blud, Lazy (ft. guitar hero Andy Susemiehl), Phantom Blue and lots more.

We will be starting pre-orders for the Teeze, Defcon and Radio City releases within the next week or two so keep an eye out for that.

New review: St. Valentine - St. Valentine (hardrock/Glam Rock - 20th Century Music)

"St. Valentine's self-titled album is a long-awaited gem for fans of Hollywood legends. Produced by Dana Strum (Slaughter), and engineered by Mikey Davis and Matt Chidgey, this album is a nostalgic trip back to the Sunset Strip era. It features demos recorded specifically for AR and press purposes, as well as live performances from The Roxy Theatre in Hollywood. The album opens with the big sounding "I Need You", a perfect blend of hard rock and a catchy melodiy. "I Want It, She's Got It" and “Hard Days, Long Nights” continue the upbeat vibe, showcasing the band's raw talent and musicianship. The album also highlights the band's ability to slow things down with the emotional ballad "Chances". The more keyboard oriented "Take Me Away" is another standout track, with its haunting guitar riffs and powerful vocals."

New review: Paradise - Do Or Die (Hardrock - Vanity Music Group)

"This is the 30th Anniversary of the debut album from the Los Angeles melodic rockers, Paradise that ruled the Sunset Strip between 1986 and 1992. In their early 20’s, Paradise was headlining and selling out the Sunset Strip, and had just turned down their first record deal offer. The band may have been a short-lived band from LA, arriving on the scene a tad too late to ride the wave of hair metal glory, but their one album release stands as a testament to their talent and potential. Despite undergoing numerous line-up changes with notable members like Robbie Crane of Ratt and Danny Wilder of Tuff passing through their ranks, Paradise persisted through the late eighties, gigging tirelessly at Sunset Blvd venues and amassing a dedicated fanbase."
