Press reviews for Ben Rogers' Instrumental Asylum album: "Welcome to the Instrumental Asylum". 

Billy Pinnell writes in JB Mag that you don't need a vocalist "...when the music is driven by a guitar player as extraordinary as former Perth musician Ben Rogers" and "If you love guitar, buy this album."
Phil Bennett writes in Nova Magazine "Sandy Feet is a delight while Medina Wedding Blues is haunting and raunchy at the same time.  The highlight is a bewildering, inspired version of Django Reinhardt's Nuages which transports the song from the sidewalks of Paris into the electric stratosphere.  Astonishing stuff."

Welcome to our new Blazz Music website.  This site replaces the original website that was established in Melbourne, Australia way back in August 1996, when music on the net was still in its infancy. Features of the original site included the e-zine “Blazzene”, the agony aunt and rock icon Blazzbear, and the world’s first virtual lavatory (closed due to virtual loiterers...).  This one will gradually come to life over the next few weeks.  Please keep checking for updates.
