Coinciding with last Friday's release of their UK exclusive double CD of 2024's acclaimed album, 'Norther', with the second disc featuring live material from July's standout show at Red Rocks, tonight, after their SWG3 Glasgow gig last night, American red dirt Country quintet, Shane Smith & The Saints play London's O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, of which the quintet's entire, aforementioned Colorado performance is today's Video Of The Day. Known as a fierce live ensemble and after an outstanding set at last year’s Highways Festival, 'Norther', comprising thirteen songs, released on Thirty Tigers/Geronimo West Records, was the Austin band's first album in five years and has since proven to be well worth the wait with it being hugely well received by fans and critics alike.

Coming at you from the vibrant cornucopia of the ever-expanding music scene in Brighton, in March last year heavy brooding, Rock n’ Rollin’, Stone Angels, armed to the teeth with a flurry of sledgehammer riffs, colossal choruses and unabashed wailing solos, released their explosive sophomore album, 'Up In Smoke', a collection of nine hard-hitting songs, of which the title track has just been released as a single and is today's Video Of The Day. Having been likened to such household names as Queens of The Stone Age and Soundgarden, the soaring four-piece have already shared stages with Kris Barras Band, Skindred and Ricky Warwick, taking inspiration from Classic UK and LA Rock, as well as Seattle's iconic Grunge scene, and this year sees their very first European festival appearance at Switzerland's Summerside alongside Airbourne, Billy Idol and Royal Republic.

Following the success of their self-titled debut album, Scarborough rockers This House We Built are ready to hit the road with fresh material and even bigger energy, not only with a number of Summer tour dates including Kent's Maid Of Stone on Sunday 20th July, but also with their sophomore album, ‘Get Out of The Rain’, due out this Autumn, of which their first album single, 'Addiction', is one of today's six of the best 'Monday Rocks!'
