2020 must have been the worst year ever for live rockin’ events, and too many stages remain empty like the one you see behind this editorial. But the news of the vaccine gives us hope that getting out there and supporting the clubs, bands and weekenders might be just around the corner (Ok maybe a very long one) Meanwhile, we continue to try to numb the pain with some truly diverse content stretching from the earliest days of rock’n’roll right up to the present with Laura B’s recollections of what she’s been busy doing during the pandemic, plus music that varies from rock’n’roll to Western swing, from vintage R&B to the standard bearers of psychobilly, The Meteors. We hope you enjoy the read!
