Taking inspiration from The Doobie Brothers, Joni Mitchell, Tedeschi Trucks Band and Fleetwood Mac, and joined by accomplished instrumentalist and songwriter Matt Patmore, UK based singer, songwriter, guitarist and activist  Kay Iris's signature sound incorporates Folk, Country, Americana and Rock, with distinct compositions that combine ethereal vocals, memorable riffs and thought-provoking lyrics, aiming to inspire and empower, such as her latest single, and today's captivating Video Of The Day, 'Dead Man Walking'. Written and Directed by Kay, ‘Dead Man Walking’ is a cinematic, story driven song, following the last days of a remorseful outlaw running from justice, inspired by Quentin Tarantino soundtracks as well as old Spaghetti Western scores by Sergio Leone.

Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of influences, including Post-Punk, Gothic Rock and Shoegaze, Detroit's Vazum is an Alternative Rock band known for their dark, introspective sound and captivating performances, having last month released the latest auditory odyssey from the enigmatic minds, 'Western Violence', of which the album track, 'Blush', is today's Video Of The Day. Nine months in the making, the duo comprising Zach Pliska (vocals, guitars, drums) and Emily Sturm (vocals, bass), meticulously crafted the album based on their experiences while touring Southern USA, the UK and France, writing and producing the songs together, aspiring toward a shared vision of hauntingly beautiful and powerful music.

Ahead of playing two co-headline UK shows this week with the UK’s very own Southern Rockers, Sons of Liberty, followed by a main stage set at this Sunday's Maid of Stone Festival in Mote Park, US legendary Southern Rock n’ Rollers, Preacher Stone, have released their good time Summer vibed new single and today's Video Of The Day, ‘Rain or Shine’, lifted from their highly acclaimed, full-tilt Rock, emotive and inspiring new album, ‘V’. Very sadly, this first half of 2024 has seen the band of brothers face adversity in the sad passing of keyboard player Johnny Webb, and most recently founding member and lead guitarist Marty Hill, who are both sorely missed.
