The WRC took in Steven Wilson's second consecutive night at the iconic Royal Albert Hall last night. Despite Wilson's new album 'Hand. Cannot. Erase.' being the highest-charting album of his career so far - would he meet his fans halfway and give them what some of them still really want - a piece of Porcupine Tree?

Any reservations about the guys kicking off with a song entitled 'Bad Experience' melted away as soon as the first chords were played. With it's uncomplicated foot tapping rhythm, it took us straight back to a time when music seemed always to be so much fun. By the time the opening notes of the album's title track 'Recycled Teenagers' sounded, the feel good factor had cranked into top gear, with a great deal of exuberant audience participation. Read the rest of Jules' excellent Shooter review here plus see our Vid Of The Day!

The WRC were recently delighted to hear from Idlewar drummer Pete Pagonis, a three piece rock band in the best tradition of a power trio - hailing from Orange County, California! Formed in 2014 the band including James Blake (Bass & Vocals) and Rick Graham (Guitar) has been working hard writing and recording. The result of that hard work is the 5 song EP 'Dig In',which is already receiving great early reviews of which 'Eleventeen' is our Track Of The Day. Driving rhythms, riffs to remember and vocals of impassioned grit. There’s no extra fat on these songs and they leave you wanting to hit play again. Carrying on in the hard rock tradition of bands like the Foo Fighters, AC/DC & Aerosmith, Idlewar also merges elements of bands like Clutch, Royal Blood and Queens of the Stone Age to carry the torch of rock into the modern era and are a welcome addition to our 'Introducing ..' feature here.
