Dutch symphonic metal band Revamp – featuring After Forever vocalist Floor Jansen – are currently working on their second release. They recently posted a four minute video clip on YouTube discussing how they approach songwriting and working on new material, which you can view below.

The band’s debut album was released by Nuclear Blast Records in 2010.

Still best known for her 1988 hit single ‘First Time’, AOR songstress Robin Beck will be visiting Europe for a short run of live dates in October/November 2012.

Fans can catch Robin here:

22.10.2012 Colos-Saal, Aschaffenburg, Germany
23.10.2012 Backstage, München, Germany

Fans in the UK will be able to see Robin live at Firefest, the yearly AOR/melodic rock event:

20.10.2012 Rock City, Nottingham

Fans in Nottingham will also be given the opportunity to meet Robin for the sum of $65, although this does not include entry to Firefest! [REAL GONE SAYS: That’s a lot of money considering most stars of Robin’s standing and popularity (including most of this year’s Firefest line-up) are more than happy to meet their existing fans for free.]

Also appearing over the course of the three day 2012 Firefest are: Tyketto, Ten, Mitch Malloy, Gotthard, Danger Danger, XYZ, Dante Fox, Royal Hunt, Fiona, Lionville, Santers, Work of Art, Stage Dolls, Johnny Lima, Farcry, Lillian Axe and Brighton Rock.
