Influenced by bands such as Alter Bridge, TesseracT and Tool, and no strangers to BBC Introducing with over twenty plays across the network including a live appearance, North West of England's Skye are a five-piece Hard Rock/Metal band who have been honing their sound to bring a cinematic and memorable experience to their live performances, of which their latest single, 'Last Memory', is one of today's six of the best 'Thursday Rocks!'

For fans of Katatonia, Porcupine Tree and Tool, and in a world where everything seems to be accelerating faster and faster, last month French Post-Progressive-Rock trio Fields of Næcluda (literally Fields of the Cloud Tree) provided a welcome moment of reflection and contemplation, releasing their new album 'UBUNTU', of which the album track 'Circles' is today's Video Of The Day. Hailing from Grenoble, the capital of the French Alps, and drawing upon inspiration from Pop, Rock and atmospheric Metal, Fields of Naecluda take you on a journey into the uncharted, where ambient, harmonic soundscapes give way to saturated guitars and emotional vocals.

With a gazillion influences from Phil Spector to Patti Smith to The Jesus and Mary Chain, and hailing from Jersey City, New Jersey, The Rubber Thongs, consisting of John Paris and Lynn Ballard, take their name from those flimsy rubber sandals otherwise known as flip flops, and last month they released their latest single, 'Cool As You', written and produced by Lynn, that's also one of today's six of the best 'Tuesday Rocks!'
