Devastating week for rock’n’roll… This time we have four obituaries to cover. Scott Miller was one of the most creative college rock musicians from the 80s. He was the leader of Game Theory, which had a series of very interesting albums back in the day and that was often played on college radio stations across the US. Then we have Storm Thorgerson, the leading artist in the Hipgnosis art collective who designed many of the iconic album covers throughout the 70s. Lead singer of the Australian band Divinyls, Chrissy Amphlett also died a few days ago at the age of 53. And the most recent news is that Richie Havens, who had a memorable live appearance at the original Woodstock, also passed away. Beside tributes to these artists, we also feature the new single for Turf War, new albums for Carla Olson and Todd Rundgren and a new band Bazooka from Greece.
