For Skid Row they have their World Rebellion release out to plug, and for Ugly Kid Joe it is a chance to prove to Belfast fans - once again - that they are more than a two-hit wonder.
Rock fans who actually listen to bands know that Whitfield Crane and his merry band of fellow rockers from Isla Vista, California have been banging out solid tunes, despite a hiatus that lasted almost 12 years from 1997 to 2009.Emerging stronger, with 'Everything About You' and 'Cat's In The Cradle' gateways to ensure that interested outsiders could come into the fold, it was really in 2012 that they emerged triumphant on to the Download stage in 2012.
This success was used to leap forward with the release 'Stairway to Hell' a nine-track release that showcased the range the band (in addition to Crane it is made up of Klaus Eichstadt, Dave Forman, Cordell Crockett and Shannon Larkin) is capable of delivering, from delicate acoustic renditions such as 'Would You Like to Be There' through to the outstanding No One Survives'.
As they embark on this tour and through to new heights one cannot help feel hopeful that their mixed up brand of hard rock, metal and funk will grab more fans, more backing and the critical acclaim they deserve.
See you at Limelight1 on Tuesday!
