Hard rock quintet, Rockstar Frame (RSF), will release their debut album, Rock ‘N’ Roll Mafia, on April 30th via Musicarchy Media. The band has published a teaser video to present the effort, after having disclosed the track “Poison” via Soundcloud. Both can be found below.Rock ‘N’ Roll Mafia was recorded, mixed and produced by Max Klein at Temple of Rock Studios and Dave Di Maio at Sunfex Studios. The cover was exclusively designed by Elisa Bellotti (Ferrari, Made In Sound) while the album artwork was created by Jan Yrlund (Manowar, Korpiklaani).RSF’s drummer, Max Klein explained: “Rock ‘N’ Roll Mafia is an album with a unique sound and for this reason it cannot be classified as simply hard rock, its genre can be better described as ‘Rockstar Frame’s Hard Rock’. Our music is very modern yet ‘old school’ while our choruses simply stick to your brain… you know, our music can seriously kick some asses but it can also take your hand and make you fly. Our lyrics are raw and blunt, ‘cause they all tell a story of something that happened in real life and people can relate to them.”

Rockstar Frame is a female-fronted heavy rock/hard & heavy band from Italy. The skilled group was formed back in 2012 by drummer Max Klein and lead vocals come courtesy of the amazing Faith Blurry! Two months ago I wrote about their choice cover of "Dark Necessities"* (Red Hot Chili Peppers), but in all honesty I have been a HUGE fan of Faith Blurry and company for a very long time. First introduced by way of the cool single "She's Hot", Rockstar Frame's 2015 debut album, "Rock 'n' Roll Mafia" is absolutely killer! Two years has passed since that gem was uncovered and yet I can still feel it's electrifying effect on my rock and roll loving soul!! If you would have told me then that the band would be even better now...well, I wouldn't have called you crazy, but I would have been a bit skeptical. With that said, Rockstar Frame's new album will drop at the end of the month and it gets solid marks in my book! Recorded and produced at Temple Of Rock Studios by band founder Max Klein, "Bullet For Birthday" opens up with the great "I Want More" and from the very start Faith's voice is exceptionally strong and powerful! In that regard nothing has changed for these Italian rockers, "Bullet For Birthday" simply reaffirms Faith Blurry's status as the group's primary focal point. On the band's sophomore she pairs up nicely with Morris Steel's aggressive guitar playing and the thick bass lines of Andy Di Bella. Keyboardist Ace Wave rounds things out for this hot-blooded hard rock band and his work is every-bit as welcoming as the flashy guitar licks, thundering bass lines, and the rock-steady drumming of Max Klein! As far as follow-up albums go, Rockstar Frame's four male members pick right up where they left off in 2015. These talented musicians surround Faith Blurry with style and (real) substance. As they put the ROCK into Rockstar Frame, Faith Blurry takes hold of the mic and blows everyone away with her set of pipes! When this band gets up and starts really going for it then it is easy to understand how they got the tag "New Guns N Roses with killer female vocals"! That all fine and dandy, but what really impresses me is how Faith flawlessly handles the softer moments of "Here I Am"**. With guest Alessio Langella on acoustic guitar, "Here I Am" offers a sneak peak at Faith Blurry's vulnerable side and it makes you truly appreciate just how versatile this up-and-coming band really! Equally adapt at heavy rockers and semi-ballads, Rockstar Frame moves you with the likes "Goodbye Tonight" & "Healing Song" and then turns around and gives the song "Running Away" a power rock edge with some serious kick! "Secret", which is a cover of a song by Stevie Anders and And Pontremoli, is another cut that ups the ante and gives the listener something solid to chew on. It falls somewhere in-between Guns N' Roses and The Runaways with (pre-"Take My Breath Away") Berlin serving as the short bridge that divides the gap! While I wish this album had more moments like that, "Bullet For Birthday" gives you a little bit of everything. It's heavy rock and heavy metal. There's power rock and then you have solid numbers where pop rock is stretched to it's breaking point. In a scene where there is more fluff than fury, rock albums like this are a welcome sight to these old eyes. Frankly speaking, "Bullet For Birthday" is enjoyable and comes recommend. If I'm forced by the edge of a sharp sword to offer up some kind of point system for the band's latest release, "Bullet For Birthday" gets an A. That's as good a place as any to wrap this post up...*It appears on this album and I actually like Rockstar Frame's version of the song more than the original! **"The "Clair de Lune" by Debussy serves as the inspiration to this song. It is played and reinterpreted by band member Ace Wave (keyboards)

Founded in 2012 by Max Klein after waking up from a coma due to a fall from a cliff, Rockstar Frame have reached the current line-up in December 2017.After winning a few contests, they signed with London-based Musicarchy Media to release critically acclaimed ‘Rock N Roll Mafia’ in 2015. Reviewed and featured on the likes of Revolver, Stencil Magazine, Black Velvet and Fireworks, Rockstar Frame embarked on an Eastern European tour which included 5 shows in Russia that culminated in opening for Backyard Babies at Volta Club Moscow.New vocalist is ex-Skylark’s Kiara Laetitia, also known for her project ‘Fight Now’ with David DeFeis from Virgin Steele and for being the first Italian female rocker to play Japan and China.On December 15 2017, they release a Christmas single “Christmas Rape”, a song about the lack of values in modern day Christmas and a metaphore on objectification of women. The single’s cover speaks for itself: a naked woman’s body is set up as a Christmas tree, with scarse decorations and a few scars simbolizing rape, shame and how women can still be treated these days.In February 2018 a new album will be released and a European tour will follow.

The history of rock and roll is filled with tales of artists bouncing back from adversity from the most obscure of artists to the most legendary often offering reference to the saying, “It’s not how you start, but how you finish.” Even the most groundbreaking artists aren’t safe from distractions and obstacles with the likes of Elvis Presley and Jimi Hendrix suffering punches to the performance gut early on. Presley was told to stick to his day job driving trucks before being booted out of the Grand Ole Opry in 1954 and Hendrix was dropped from a tour opening for The Monkees after nights of being booed by the prefab four’s young audience. But in rock and roll, detractors can serve as more motivation, especially compared to the ultimate road block, death.While in a coma after falling off a cliff, drummer Max Klein was moved to start a band through rock music played by family while comatose in the hospital. In 2012, the band Rockstar Frame was born in Milan, Italy and within two years the group’s original line-up signed with London’s Musicarchy Media releasing their debut album Rock ‘N’ Roll Mafia in 2015. Two more years followed filled with accolades from publications like Revolver, Fireworks, and Black Velvet; tours across Europe (including a Russian trek with Sweden’s Backyard Babies), and the release of sophomore album Bulletproof. Klein had a solid case for rock and roll comeback story of the decade right? Well, not quite yet. Just as Rockstar Frame‘s second album started gaining traction, internal issues caused the band to splinter apart. But again, “It’s not how you start, but how you finish.”When compared to coming back from the edge of death, starting a band over from scratch hardly seems that difficult and despite having created a following as a five-piece, female fronted, rock band, Klein took the opportunity to create what he feels is something stronger attracting stellar musicians also from outside of Italy. By the time 2019 slowed to an end, Rockstar Frame had already started to make a new noise with Argentinian vocalist Leonard F. Guillan, bassist Ronam Destefani from Brazil, and fellow Italian Ian Darrell joining Klein in a totally revamped line-up. That was enough noise to attract interest from Volcano Records leading to what will be Rockstar Frame‘s third studio record Stand Up…Jump ‘N’ Fly in 2021. A perfect title for a musician and band rising from the ashes not just once, but twice.Compared to the often clunky keyboard tainted modern rock sounds of the band’s first two albums, Stand Up…Jump ‘N’ Fly finds Rockstar Frame version 2021 pouring out a mid-’80s hard rock boot down groove along the lines of Dr. Feelgood era Mötley Crüe. While seemingly awkward in spots, a full listen through makes it obvious that Klein and his new rock gang were going for something more than just the obvious. Along with Destefani, the once on the edge of death drummer fills in the bottom end fully giving guitarist Darrell tons of space to slide right on in and thicken in the spaces occasionally dipping out to rip a choice solo or two. Even with one less musician, this version of Rockstar Frame delivers a fuller, more solid sound and it works perfectly to their benefit creating a mix of melody and in your face hard rock strong enough to carry Guillan‘s powerful pipes. Lyrical construction may still be the band’s weak point but on Rockstar Frame‘s latest, the frontman makes it work and through the sheer intensity of most of the tunes, the power and energy nearly makes it tough to notice the simple vocal lines and accent.Musically, Stand Up….Jump ‘N’ Fly seems to flex an unusual mix of influences that create an overall sound landing somewhere between ’80s hair metal and more recent European sleaze rock. On the older end, songs like “Is Not The End,” and “Like A Monster” invite comparisons to the bass-driven dark thump of Dr. Feelgood era Mötley Crüe while “Ready To Go,” and “One In A Million” veer into classic Scorpions territory ala Blackout. “Hypnotized Fools,” “Hey Man!” and “Break Me Down” take a page from the more melodic anthemic side of ’70s shock rock ala KISS and Alice Cooper as well as the glam of Hanoi Rocks.Along the way, Rockstar Frame not only reveal possible old school influences but also sounds reminiscent of more modern European sleaze rock bands like on raw track “Get On My Knees,” and the catchy power pop metal of “Golden Dreams.” Overall, the odd tunes just might be the three of the four that close out the album. “Beyond The Fear” is a power ballad that somehow floats somewhere in the middle of Hanoi Rocks / Scorpions territory. “Halloween Night” is an oddly weak Lizzy Borden-like tune. Closer “Sunshine In The Dark” is a weirdly floating acoustic / organ song that awkwardly sounds like Hanoi trying to cover the poppier side of a Poison campfire ditty. Honestly, while I can appreciate Rockstar Frame having the nads to end on such a mellow note, it would have benefited the record to rock to a finish with the way more impactful “Like A Monster.” Heck, even my second least favorite track “Halloween Night” would have been a far better song to end things on.Despite a few weak points, overall, Stand Up….Jump ‘N’ Fly is a uniquely cool rock and roll record that kicks way more tush than the band’s first two releases. Will fans of those first two keyboard-loaded, female-fronted records also buy into this more rocking male-led version of Rockstar Frame? Only time will tell but in 2021, the Italy-based band is delivering a gritty, sleaze rock sound rolling around in a messy bed of ’80s hair metal and millennium age Euro-sleaze. It’s cool, it’s refreshing and OK. For some, the vocals might be a little tough to swallow but given a chance, the latest from Rockstar Frame is downright more than enough to make rock fans feel damn good about the future of rock and roll.
