Aug. 20, 2025: Temporary Message Board Closure The company hosting the message board sprung a surprise price hike on me that would have more than tripled the monthly hosting costs, so I've been scrambling to find an alternative. I've purchased a license for self-hosting a different platform and am hiring a consultant to migrate the existing board's content (posts, user profiles, etc.). However, this means I need to shut down the message board for anywhere from 3 days to (hopefully less than) a week so the data can be migrated. While this is an expensive proposition up front, it should result in some long-term savings. The current message board will be closed down at some point this Saturday, August 23. I will post updates here. The main site (where you are reading this), will NOT be affected. -Dan

Released as a "bonus disc" with the RACING album overseas but as a standalone CD in the U.S., ROCKSHOCKS has Loudness re-recording a bunch of their early '80s classics. The production is raw, but Minoru's voice shines and Akira still shreds on the six-string. Most of the songs are in Japanese, so I wonder why Crash opted to release this disc instead of the RACING album, but it's still nice to see Loudness get a U.S. release again after all these years!!
