MIKE TRAMP - new album "Cobblestone Street" in April!

White Lion - singer Mike Tramp is about to release his new solo album "Cobblestone Street" on April 8th, 2013 in Europe.
Tramp says that this record is the album he has dreamt of making all of his life. That may sound strange, because he made so many great records with his band White Lion in the 80's/early 90's. Mike Tramp has written some real rock classics like "Wait", "When The Children Cry" or "Going Home Tonight".
Even his last solo record was surprisingly good after the reunion of White Lion was terrible. So he sets the expectations pretty high.

The Italian power metalers of SECRET SPHERE released a new music video to their song "Lie To Me". It's taken from the current album "Portrait Of A Dying Heart".

And here is another important information for you: if there are any new music videos I'll post most of them on the "Rock & Metal 4 You" Facebook-Page. It's easier and faster to share the stuff there, because I can only integrate videos from youtube on this blog and much of them are locked here in Germany. This is due to copyright. Believe me, it's better for you to watch the videos on Facebook. I can integrate vids from different platforms. If you haven't visited the Fanpage have a look HERE! Thank you!
