TOPLOADER have had two hit singles here in England this summer. 'Dancin' in the moonlight' (not the LIZZY one!), which is very much in the NEW RADICALS mould and 'Achilles Heel' which is quite reminiscent of 70's AEROSMITH. Their debut album 'Onka's big mocka' (!) has sold really well and is just about to be re-issued with bonus tracks.

They're a great band. Not heavy rock but with elements of REEF, AEROSMITH, LENNY KRAVITZ and even STEVIE WONDER. I haven't seen them live but I think you should get there early enough to check them out.

Apart from 'Glorious' Andreas Johnson has failed to get into the UK top 40 I'm afraid. Must admit I wasn't too impressed with his latest album when I heard it. There was another guy I was really impressed by a few years ago called SIMON ROWE who was signed to a Swedish label. What happened to him?
