Reviewed: June, 2020 Published: 2020, ECW Press Rating: 4.5/5 Reviewer: JP I must admit when I heard that Popoff was writing a fourth(!) book about Rush I rolled my eyes. I felt he was going back to the well a bit too often and doing another book about a band…

December 2019 Released: 2019/ PowerChord Press Rating: 3.5/5 Reviewer: JP Despite a small and fairly well-received series of North American club dates in 2019, the band UFO really is on their last legs. Members are dying or quitting, and the end is nigh. I suppose this is a good a…
