It has been announced that cult AOR/pomp rockers Zebra are to be inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame.

The rock trio – fronted by Randy Jackson – have enjoyed cult success since the 80s and have gained strong press from the AOR/melodic rock community over the years. Their third disc, 1987’s ‘3.V’, considered to be one of the band’s strongest albums was particularly hard to find on CD for some time, until a very welcome reissue (with the band’s second LP, ‘No Tellin’ Lies’) in 2010.

Also at this year’s event – the Hall of Fame now in it’s fourth year – Twisted Sister’s Dee Snyder will be performing a selection of tunes from his 2012 release ‘Dee Does Broadway’ and death metallers Suffocation will also be inducted.

Alanis Morissette is to visit the UK in November.

The Canadian artist will play three huge stadium shows in support of her eighth studio album, the 2012 release ‘Havoc and Bright Lights’.  Morissette’s previous visit yielded a more intimate show at the Brixton Academy which sold out almost instantly.

Confirmed dates:

NOVEMBER:
28th: London O2 Arena
29th:Nottingham Capital FM Arena
30th: Liverpool Echo Arena

When he appeared at the 2012 Graspop Metal Meeting in Belgium, Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider took time out to talk with Toazted. Often noted for his ability to express opinions and never short of chat, the resulting interview spanned an entire hour, which you can now view below.

2012 has been a busy year for Snider. Between live performances, he’s released a solo record ‘Dee Does Broadway’ (a record of Broadway songs interpreted in a hard rock format) and an autobiography ‘Shut Up and Give Me The Mic’.

Agnostic Front have confirmed a short run of European dates for early 2013.

The tour – which also features hardcore band Hatebreed – takes in various German dates, plus shows in Belgium, The Netherlands and France next January. The dates can be seen below. It is not known at this time whether Agnostic Front will visit the UK as part of their European trek.
