Recently, we were treated to a very packed evening of old school heavy metal and rock ‘n’ roll when long-lasting heavy metal titans Alcatrazz accompanied the legendary Girlschool – who have been going strong for 50 years already! Girlschool showed no signs of slowing down and proved to still be a benchmark for a true rock ‘n’ roll band!
V’s Metal Media organised their first festival and invited us to experience ‘V’s Metal Fest’ and we were only too happy to drop by and support a budding organisation! With 10 Cats Down, #40Something, Noord, Narsic, Behind the Veil, Fabulae Dramatis, Promise Down, ArseA, Primal Creation, and No Apologies.

We met up with Motörhead legend Phil Campbell at Alcatraz Festival this past Summer to talk about the “50 years of Motörhead” tour (that continues this November with one last run in Europe, don’t miss out), rocking out with his sons in Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons, and a bunch more things seasoned by his usual mix of humor, honesty and no-nonsense attitude!
