An Interview with Mason Hill.

Howdy All! Today I got the chance to chat with the homegrown Scottish group Mason Hill. The Glasgow based group formed through school ties in 2013, roughly, forged by members Scott Taylor (Lead Vocals) & James Bird ( Lead Guitar). The group is rounded out by the talents of Marc Montgomery (Guitar), Matthew Ward ( Bass) and Craig McFetridge (Drums).

This was one of the interviews that definitely made me realize that I’m very lucky in getting to do what I do. Scott, James, and I got to chatting on about the foundations of their band and how James has crossed paths with his musical heroes. Again, it felt like chatting with a few friends! I also couldn’t pass on the opportunity to call Scott out on his exceedingly impressive musical talents, he was such a majorly good sport about it lol!

Mason Hill is the type of band that can chart in the UK, in a pandemic, through self inspired recording & production methods…as a matter of fact, that’s exactly what they’ve done with their new album “Against the Wall.” I, myself, even mentioned to my Rock News UK business partner that I’m completely surprised at how this group isn’t more well known! He then informed me  that they are newer on the official scene. Despite the circumstances of it all, I can see this band becoming a musical powerhouse once they can get their album (& possible upcoming singles) out on tour in front of a proper live audience.

Fortunately, Mason Hill is planning to do just that with a club tour that is slated for a September 2021 timetable. Fingers crossed that all goes well and we can dance & sing to these tunes live together later this fall! You can check out my interview, as well as everything else Mason Hill, in the links below.

Stone Broken announce Mason Hill as support on tour

Stone Broken’s highly anticipated January/ February 2022 headline ‘Revelation Tour’ is pleased to announce that  up and coming  Glaswegian rock band Mason Hill will be coming along for the ride. An addition both acts are ecstatic about, Mason Hill will perform as special guest main support across all shows excluding Glasgow.   

Mason Hill  lead  singer Scott Taylor comments,  “We’re buzzing to be joining Stone Broken on their biggest UK tour to date! We go back years with them, so it’s extra special for us to join the Revelation tour, adding to an experience that’s no doubt  gonna  be an insane kick ass rock fest! It’ll be unmissable.”    

Originally billed with The Fallen State opening and Phil X and the Drills in the special guest slot, Phil X and the Drills have made the difficult decision to step away from the tour in the face of continued overseas covid concerns.     

“Well, it’s been a crazy 18 months and COVID has a lot to answer for!”  starts Stone Broken front man, Rich Moss.    

“Although not as bad as it once was, it is still having an impact on what we do and unfortunately this has meant that Phil X and the Drills have had to pull out of the upcoming Revelation tour. It’s not all doom and gloom though, because our good friends in Mason Hill are now joining us, along with The Fallen State to complete the line-up.  

Plans are coming together to make this our biggest and best tour yet.”   

Phil X and the Drills add,  “To all Drills fans & our pals Stone Broken, we were all set & very excited to come back to the UK for our support role for the January/ February 2022 tour.  Alas…. with the covid situation being what it is, we’ve decided we will not be ready to cross the pond at that time.  Seeing first-hand the cancellation of early 2022 runs with other bands & global trade shows such as NAMM being postponed from January until the spring… it just supports our mindset.  Thank you for understanding & we hope to see you later in the year of 2022.  Stay safe & healthy, Phil X

Celebrated Swedish rock band  H.E.A.T  have rescheduled their  “Sign In The Northern Sky”  October 2021 UK tour to  October 2022 . The rescheduled 2022 UK tour dates include  Leeds Warehouse  (Friday October 14),  Wolverhampton KK’s Steel Mill  (Saturday October 15)  Swansea Patti Pavilion  (Sunday October 16),  Nottingham Rescue Rooms  (Monday October 17) and  London Electric Brixton  (Tuesday October 18). Tickets remain valid for all dates. 

Tickets for the rescheduled 2022 gigs are available from  www.myticket.co.uk/artists/h-e-a-t

The UK tour celebrates the welcome return of H.E.A.T’s original lead singer and powerhouse frontman,  Kenny Leckremo . 

”It’s like a shot at redemption,” says Leckremo. ”I’m thrilled to be back, and to be a part of what H.E.A.T is today.  No longer just a shadow of the past, but a force into the future. The H.E.A.T legacy continues.” “I am so excited to be back performing with my H.E.A.T brothers and can’t wait to rock out with our UK fans in October 2022,” adds Leckremo. “This tour is going to be a very special occasion for all of us. We look forward to seeing all of you on the road in 2022.” Leckremo replaces H.E.AT’s previous lead singer, Erik Grönwall, who announced his departure from the band towards the end of 2020.

 Watch Leckremo singing H.E.A.T’s  “Rise”  single HERE . 

The rescheduled October 2022 UK tour follows H.E.A.T’s critically acclaimed album  “H.E.A.T II”  that spawned the hit singles  “Rise” ,  “Come Clean” ,  “Rock Your Body” ,  “Dangerous Ground”  and  “One By One” . 

“H.E.A.T II”  is the first album to be produced entirely by the band with Jona Tee and Dave Dalone as producers. “This is what we would sound like if we made a debut album 2019, hence the title,” says Jona. 

In 2009, H.E.A.T had a huge hit in Scandinavia with the song  “1000 Miles” . That same year the band’s second album,  “Freedom Rock” , was nominated as one of the Top 50 albums in 2010 by the UK’s  Classic Rock Magazine . Since then, they have toured the world, blowing audiences away with their outstanding live concerts. In a time when artists like Foreigner, Journey and Whitesnake are enjoying a resurgence, teenagers are re-discovering the melodic approach to hard rock. Kids are suddenly wearing classic rock band logos on t-shirts.

H.E.A.T don’t hide their love for their classic rock heroes, but don’t try to copy it, either. They just do it, and they want to be the best at it. And they are one of the best – drawing both young and old to their mesmerising, freshly sounding, energetic classic rock and bombastic melodies.

The Swedish rockers are the beacon of light that many say will carry this tradition into the future.

H.E.A.T plan on releasing new material in 2022 to coincide with the rescheduled October 2022 UK tour dates.

Mason Hill replace Phil X and the Drills on Stone Broken's 2022 UK tour

Bon Jovi guitarist Phil X can no longer make it to the UK

Mason Hill have been unveiled as the new special guests on Stone Broken’s January and February 2022 UK tour .

Fresh from performing their own triumphant headline UK trek, Mason Hill are the main support on all dates of Stone Broken’s Revelation Tour except Glasgow. The Fallen State will still open proceedings at all 11 gigs.

Mason Hill replace Phil X and the Drills who have pulled out due to the ongoing global situation with Covid-19.

Stone Broken frontman Rich Moss says: “Well, it’s been a crazy 18 months and COVID has a lot to answer for!

“Although not as bad as it once was, it is still having an impact on what we do and unfortunately this has meant that Phil X and the Drills have had to pull out of the upcoming Revelation tour.

“It’s not all doom and gloom though, because our good friends in Mason Hill are now joining us, along with The Fallen State to complete the line-up. Plans are coming together to make this our biggest and best tour yet.”

Mason Hill singer Scott Taylor enthuses: “We're buzzing to be joining Stone Broken on their biggest UK tour to date! We go back years with them, so it’s extra special for us to join the Revelation tour, adding to an experience that’s no doubt gonna be an insane kick ass rock fest! It’ll be unmissable.”

Bon Jovi guitarist Phil X comments: “To all Drills fans & our pals Stone Broken, we were all set & very excited to come back to the UK for our support role for the January/ February 2022 tour.

“Alas, with the covid situation being what it is, we've decided we will not be ready to cross the pond at that time. Seeing first-hand the cancellation of early 2022 runs with other bands & global trade shows such as NAMM being postponed from January until the spring... it just supports our mindset. Thank you for understanding & we hope to see you later in the year of 2022. Stay safe & healthy, Phil X”

The wildest guitars in rock music:, zz top’s spinning fur guitars.

Of course, we couldn't make a feature about outrageous guitars without ZZ Top's iconic Spinning Fur Guitars. Made from real sheepskin, the twirling guitar for Billy Gibbons and bass for the late-great Dusty Hill were both created by Dean Zelinsky of Dean Guitars and they famously first appeared in the music video to 'Legs' in 1983. Billy Gibbons says: "The guitars are attached to our belt buckles. It's a rotary electrical contact and strap mount. A hole is bored in the back of the guitar at the balancing point and the device is mounted there. Oh yeah, you gotta look out for that thing coming back around. Get your head and neck out of the way or else it'll say hello in an unfashionable fashion."

Bill Bailey’s Gary Hutchins Six-Neck Guitar

Comedy legend, esteemed musician and Strictly Come Dancing champion, Bill Bailey, played this six-necked guitar aptly called The Beast as part of his stand-up routine in 2011. An apparent nod to Rick Nielsen's Five Neck, the instrument was created by guitar maker Gary Hutchins, the eponymous founder of Hutchins guitars, and it once went on display at London's Albert and Victoria Museum.

Nigel Tufnel’s Marshall Stack Guitar

It's fitting that legendary Spinal Tap axeman and amp aficionado Nigel Tufnel used to play a glorious Marshall stack guitar. One of only two ever made, the guitar has a Jackson neck and Seymour Duncan pickup, with the bottom stack detachable for quieter studio work. Naturally, all the volume and tone knobs go up to 11. Commenting on why the guitar was his mainstay for many European shows, Tufnel said: "Well, it's got a very Scandinavian look about it, doesn't it?"

Michael Angelo Batio’s Double-Guitar

Famous for his technical prowess and genre-straddling playing style, American heavy metal guitarist Michael Angelo Batio personally invented the Double Guitar - a V-shaped, twin-neck guitar that Batio plays both left and right-handed.

Rick Nielsen’s Five Neck

Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen with his iconic Five Neck guitar at a concert in 2012. Tired of performing with multiple guitars at concerts, Nielsen joined forces with guitar makers Hamer way back in 1981 to combine all of his guitar playing needs into one glorious instrument. The guitar was created by fusing the bodies of five Hamer Specials together and there have been several incarnations of the Five Neck. Hamer founder Frank Untermeyer said: "Rick's out of his mind, but in a wonderful way."

Steve Vai's Hydra guitar

Taking its name from the track 'Teeth of the Hydra', Steve Vai's new Hydra guitar was built in conjunction with the designers at Hoshino and is based on a "steampunk motif" idea of Vai's. Unveiled in December 2021, the Hydra is billed as a one-bodied, two-headstock-ed, three-neck-ed creature that encompasses, among other things: seven- and 12-string guitars; a four-string bass; sympathetic harp strings; half-fretless necks; single-coil, humbucking, piezo and sustainer pickups; floating and hardtail tremolo bridges; phase splitters; and much more. "It's an incredibly-built machine," Vai comments.

Bo Diddley’s Square Guitar

The blues rock legend made his first square guitar aged 17 as he couldn't afford to buy an electric guitar. He explained to Vintage Guitar in 1997: "(the guitar's) pickup was the part of a Victrola record player where the needle went in. I clamped it to the metal tailpiece to pick up the vibrations." The original guitar was sadly stolen, but in 1958 Gretsch later made a version with DeArmond pickups. Pictured is Bo proudly clutching it in 1959.

John Paul Jones’ Triple Neck Arch-Top Mandolin

The Led Zeppelin multi-instrumentalist's unique Triple Neck Arch-Top Mandolin was created by luthier Andy Manson in the mid-1970s and swiftly became a mainstay of Led Zep concerts. The famous electroacoustic instrument boasts 8-string mandolin, 12-string guitar, and 6-string guitar necks. Manson said decades later: "I designed and made the triple neck and took it to John's house. I said, 'Hi John I thought this might interest you.' He said, 'Wow, yes indeed, I can't wait to see Pagey's face when I walk on stage with this!' It cost £400 and I skipped off down the road feeling like a millionaire."

Prince’s Love Symbol Guitar

Pictured is Prince with a purple Love Symbol guitar in at The Grammy Awards in February 2004 where he performed his anthem 'Purple Rain'. Prince's range of Love Symbol guitars were based on the shape of the unpronounceable symbol he adopted as his moniker in 1993 in an act of rebellion against his record label, Warner Bros.

Steve Vai’s Ibanez Triple-Neck Red Heart Guitar

The virtuoso musician designed his Ibanez custom built triple neck with heart-shaped body guitar in 1988 as he wanted something "eye-catching" for the video to David Lee Roth's 'Just Like Paradise'. Steve Vai himself admits the guitar is "odd" and there have been three incarnations of the instrument – the original Red Heart, a spare called Red Heart II and a Purple Heart. Steve used the latter guitar on the Ultra Zone tour and wrote the song 'Fever Dream' with it.

Pat Metheny’s Pikasso Guitar

Canadian master luthier Linda Manzer created The Pikasso Guitar in 1984 when jazz artist Pat Metheny requested a guitar that had "as many strings as possible." The completely unique resulting instrument has 42 strings arranged in four different string sections.

Gene Simmons’ Axe Bass

Back in 1978, Gene Simmons joined forces with master luthier Steve Carr to create a unique bass guitar shaped like an axe that would suit his on-stage Demon persona perfectly. The resulting weapon-like instrument – aptly entitled The Axe Bass – is a true classic. Now a running trademark for KISS, there have been a number of incarnations of the Axe Bass including the pictured Cort GS-Axe-2 bass guitar Gene is aggressively clutching at the 2010 NAMM Show.

Michael Anthony’s Jack Daniel’s Bass

Michael Anthony's now famous Jack Daniel's Bass was created back in 1983 while Van Halen were working on their musical masterpiece '1984'. Anthony's guitar tech and good friend Kevin 'Dugie' Dugan was charged with creating the bass, which was made with the blessing of Jack Daniel's on one condition – that only three guitars were made. One is on display at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame museum, one is in storage and one is still used by Michael Anthony to this very day.

John Entwistle’s Buzzard Bass

The Ox played the iconic Buzzard Bass for the final 17 years of his career from 1985 to his untimely passing in 2002. Entwistle worked with Hans Peter Wilfer, founder of Warwick basses, on the striking bass and the pair came up with the moniker Buzzard after imbibing numerous drinks at London nightclub Maggie's – neither could remember who first suggested the name. After they picked the name, the headstock was tweaked to resemble the beak of a buzzard.

John Fogerty’s Baseball Bat Guitar

Crafted by Philip Kubicki, John Fogerty named his unique guitar 'Slugger' in homage to the Louisville Slugger baseball bat. Created in 1985 when his album 'Centerfield' came out, Fogerty donated the instrument to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in 2010. Fogerty said at the time: "That guitar means a lot to me. It's symbolizes two of my great loves, baseball and the guitar. When 'Centerfield' came out, it was after a long break and was such an important album to me on many levels. The lessons of baseball - the hits, the misses, the triumphs, and the losses - were something that I could really relate to in my life. So I got this idea to make a baseball bat guitar and of course, it had to be a Louisville Slugger."

Ian Hunter’s Maltese Cross Guitar

Ian Hunter's Maltese Cross Guitar was designed by American luthier Harvey Thomas in the 1970s. Despite its iconic status, Hunter says the guitar looked good but didn't sound great and he sold it a number of years ago. Def Leppard and Planet Rock's Joe Elliott had two new Maltese Crosses made for Hunter's 70th birthday in 2009 that Hunter says sounded "GREAT!" Hunter says: "There are only two in the world. I think it's really neat that a guitar can look that good AND sound so good. Very cool!! Praise be to Joe!!!"

Bumblefoot’s Vigier Flying Foot guitar

As the name suggests, Bumblefoot's Vigier Flying Foot features a pink foot on the guitar body complete with wings that pop out. Bumblefoot says of his beloved instrument: "Vigier spent 5 months building this guitar by hand - it's truly a masterpiece. Incredible detail on the guitar, down to the toenails. When you bend down the vibrato bar, wings pop out of the sides. They gave me this guitar at the NAMM convention in Los Angeles, January 1998. Plays and sounds the best of all my guitars - it's my main guitar."

George Lynch’s Mom

Influential Lynch Mob and ex-Dokken axeman George Lynch unveiled his skull and bones guitar – affectionately called 'Mom' – in the mid 1980s. Designed and hand-crafted by artist John 'J. Frog' Garcia, the guitar also featured an ESP Guitars decal on the headstock as Lynch was contracted with them at the time.

Andrew WK’s Taco Guitar

Hard partying rocker Andrew WK unveiled a delicious Taco Guitar to mark National Taco Day on 4th October 2017. His second foray into food-themed instruments following his Pizza Guitar a few years earlier, the custom Taco Guitar was created with ESP Guitars. WK said at the time: "I realised that since I had paid tribute to pizza, I now had to pay tribute to tacos in all their glory. I was destined to make a taco shaped guitar. This is proof that if you have the vision, no matter how outlandish or unruly, the team at ESP Guitars can turn it into a beautiful reality. And they only use the highest quality materials and they're truly master craftsmen. Absolutely mind-blowing attention to detail and playability. There's no compromise when it comes to the integrity of the instrument, or the hardness of the party."

Misa Kitara Guitar Shaped MIDI Controller

Not technically a guitar, the Misa Kitara was a short-lived digital MIDI controller and musical instrument that was developed on 2011 and discontinued just two years later. Taking its name from the Finnish word for guitar (kitara), the instrument combined touch buttons for strings and frets with an 8-inch multi-touch screen that creates a variety of sound effects. Muse bassist Chris Wolstenholme can be seen playing a modified Misa Kitara in the video to the band's 2012 song 'Madness.'

Dave Hill’s Super Yob Guitar

Famed for his outrageous costumes and hilarious haircut, it seemed only right that Slade axeman Dave Hill had a unique and eccentric guitar. Created by luthier John Birch in 1973, the Super Yob was styled after a science fiction ray gun and instantly became synonymous with Dave Hill. Guitarist and songwriter Marco Pirroni bought the original Super Yob in the early eighties, but Hill has since had a replica made.

John 5’s Fender Telecaster Lava Lamp Guitar

John 5 has a number of eye-catching guitars in his arsenal, but the Fender Telecaster Lava Lamp Guitar is arguably the standout instrument of the lot. John 5 says: "It's heavy as hell but it's really cool because it lights up on stage… it weighs a ton! It sounds really good. There's anti-freeze in it because when I ship it abroad it might freeze and crack the guitar."

Ginger Wildheart’s Smiley Bones Guitar

Based on The Wildhearts' fearsome logo, this truly phenomenal Smiley Bones Guitar was created in 2015 by Devil & Sons Guitars. Daniel Wallis made the guitar for Ginger Wildheart to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the 'P.H.U.Q.' album as a replacement for the original guitar which came out when the album was released but was later stolen. He explains to Planet Rock: "I sent some images of it to Ginger who loved it but asked if I could make a few changes so it met a perfect spec for him to play live. Instead of making the changes I just made another so there were in fact two that I made. Part of his spec was to have a particular BC Rich neck put on it, which I did, but then he decided that to play it live it would be better with a 24-fret neck, so I made that change too."

Zakk Wylde’s Epiphone Graveyard Disciple guitar

Ozzy Osbourne and Black Label Society axeman Zakk Wylde with one of this Epiphone Graveyard Disciple signature guitars on stage in 2009. Nicknamed the 'Bo Deadly' by Zakk, the Graveyard Disciple comes in a coffin shaped case and features a crucifix on the body and headstock. Nice.

Eric Bloom’s Blue Öyster Cult Logo Guitar

We couldn't do this list without including Eric Bloom's famed guitar shaped like the Blue Öyster Cult logo. The bespoke guitar was created by master luthier Ronaldo at Pastore's Music in Union City, New Jersey. In case you're wondering, the logo was created by Bill Gawlik, the artist behind BOC's first and second album covers, and it's a stylization of the astronomical symbol for the planet Saturn.

Bootsy Collins’ Star-Shaped Space Bass

The flamboyant James Brown and Parliament-Funkadelic bassist's first Star-Shaped Space Bass was created in 1975 by fledgling guitar maker Larry Pless who worked at an accordon shop called Gus Zoppi Music in Warren, Michigan. Since then there have been numerous incarnations of the Star-Shaped Space Bass, including Bootsy's current signature Warwick star basses, but the basic design has stayed the same.

Brian May’s Red Special Guitar

Easily one of the most famous guitars in the history of rock music, Brian May created the Red Special with his dad Harold as a teenager in 1963 as he couldn't afford a Fender, Gibson or Höfner guitar. Designed to intentionally create feedback, the guitar has helped define Brian May's signature sound and he's performed almost exclusively with it throughout Queen's prime in the 1970s and 1980s until this present day.

Todd Rundgren's Veleno Ankh Guitar

Todd Rundgren's aluminium ankh-shaped guitar was created by metal craftsman John Veleno in the early 1970s. Highly regarded for their aesthetic appearance and also distinct playing style, a series of Velono guitars were made for a number of artists. Rundgren loved his so much, he had two made.

The Dean V Dave Mustaine Double Neck Electric Guitar

Dave Mustaine's bespoke double neck guitar, created by Dean, has been one of his main instruments for the past decade. Thanks to its jagged shape and the metal artwork emblazoned on the body, the guitar is an absolute aesthetic triumph – a behemoth of an instrument that suits Megadeth's brutal music perfectly.

Rob Davis’ Heart-Shaped Guitar

Mud guitarist Rob Davis played his famous red heart-shaped guitar during the glam rockers' commercial peak in the 1970s and he still performs with it to this very day. Here he is proudly flaunting the guitar in a promo shoot with Mud almost five decades ago.

Prince’s yellow ‘Cloud’ Guitar

Late music legend Prince had an extensive and highly flamboyant custom guitar collection consisting of more than 100 instruments. Among the standout instruments was Prince's yellow "Cloud" guitar, which sold for $225,000 under the hammer in 2018.

Rick Nielsen’s Uncle Dick

A prolific collector, Rick Nielsen has amassed over 2,000 guitars over the decades. Alongside his trademark Five Neck (also pictured here), arguably the most famous of the bunch is his Hamer 'Uncle Dick' double neck guitar from 1983, which is based on a likeness of himself.

Michael Angelo Batio’s Quad Guitar

As seen in the video to his 2020 song 'Time Traveller', Michael Angelo Batio also invented the Quad-Guitar, which features – you guessed it – two sets of twin-neck V-shaped guitars. Outrageous yet highly impressive!

Lita Ford’s B.C. Rich Monkey Train guitar

The former Runaways rocker unveiled her train-themed B.C. Rich Monkey Train guitar in her 'Playin' With Fire' official video in 1991. Lita told Guitar Afficionado a few years back: "I got into B.C. Rich. I was always over there carving out new ideas and helping to make new stuff. They would make anything I asked them to make."

James Hetfield’s Carl Guitar

In 2018, James Hetfield proudly showed off his unique new guitar – dubbed Carl – to Metallica fans. The rugged instrument is named after 3132 Carlson Boulevard in El Cerrito, California, where Metallica were based during their breakthrough years from 1983 to 1986. The garage was later demolished but James's friend Andy Anderson of the Bay Area thrash group Attitude Adjustment kept eight pieces of wood from the heavy metal landmark and gifted them to him years later. Papa Het then enlisted the services of master custom guitar maker Ken Lawrence to craft him an instrument using those planks of wood. Carl featured on Metallica's WorldWired World Tour where it was used for performances of 'Hardwired… to Self-Destruct' track 'Moth Into Flame.'

Dan Hartman’s Bass Suit

Unfortunately, we've been unable to acquire an image of the late Dan Hartman's Bass Suit but there's no way we can miss it out! The Edgar Winter Group bassist and solo musician paid a reported $5,000 for the suit in 1974 (huge money at the time), which he designed with Los Angeles couturier Bill Witten. Made from a rubbery fabric that featured the instrument in the pelvic pocket, the Bass Suit's controls are on the sleeve attached to an aluminium plate and the guitar neck ends with a crescent moon.

Stig Pederson’s iPhone Bass

Stig Pedersen, bassist/vocalist of Danish rock band D-A-D, has a number of outlandish bass creations that he performs with including a rocket shaped bass, a reverse bass where the head stock and body are swopped around, and a transparent bass. He hit the headlines in 2018 when he unveiled his latest playful creation – a bass shaped like an iPhone.

With new guitar motifs, arrangements and new radio mix, the track will surely build on the US rock radio pick up which the track has been recently getting in the USA.

Mason Hill release new single version of 'Broken Son'

Glaswegian rockers, Mason Hill , are fast becoming one of the new break through rock stories of 2021. Their debut album Against The Wall , released in March 2021, stormed the UK national album chart at number 19 and number 1 on the UK album rock chart, making it the first new British rock debut to chart in the top 20 since Royal Blood, 2014. The band are also thrilled to announce that they are to receive a PPL/PRS Momentum Fund award to enable them to record and market two new singles in 2022.

Not only does their album sales continue to sell well, but the band’s second single D.N.A has now spent over 18 weeks in the German rock airplay chart and recently reached number 5 in the German national rock airplay chart, showing no signs of cooling off!

In support of their first ever UK headline club tour, the Mason Hill are now releasing a brand new single version of their track Broken Son , available on all DSP, September 3 rd . With new guitar motifs, arrangements and new radio mix, the track will surely build on the US rock radio pick up which the track has been recently getting in the USA.

The UK Against The Wall headline tour will feature support from Hollowstar & Empyre , and is already looking like a great success with Gravesend and Glasgow selling out within weeks and many other venues close to sell out. Mason Hill recently blew their live performance cobwebs away with a highly acclaimed first performance in 18 months at the Steelhouse Festival and if that is anything to go buy, fans are in for a rollercoaster experience on the new tour!

It’s been an incredible achievement in 2021 for new British rock band, starting from an almost zero sales base and during a pandemic when there has been no traditional retail, no live shows or touring opportunities. With great reviews throughout the year, anticipation is now building for the band’s first ever UK headline club tour and it’s sure to be a highly charged, balls out return to power rock with raw attitude and passion.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.
