Beastie's latest Rock Show, originally broadcast live at www.voodooradio.online at midday last Thursday, is today's Podcast Of The Day, 90 minutes of chelp, chunter and wonderful Rock music, featuring Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Screaming Eagles, Sweet Electric (pictured), Arjen Lucassen's Supersonic Revolution, Ayreon and more.

A breakout teen antihero, and an edgy, refreshing, unorthodox counter to the typical Pop artist, Tilly's steadfast mantra is all about empowerment, such as her recently released hard edged, Punk-Rock and Pop fused debut single, ‘Best Break Up Ever’, that will connect with anyone who's ever felt like a misfit, of which today's effervescent, striking and upbeat accompanying Video Of The Day, embodies the message of this jubilant defiant anthem and her high-energy engaging live performance. Newly signed to Base Culture Music Group/SONY Orchard and produced by multi-platinum producer Mike Krompass (Nelly Furtado) and mastered by Justin Shturtz (Paramore), Tilly isn't just the opposition of a glossy, sugary Pop image... she shatters it, with her stabbing hooks, attitude and artistic sincerity.

Following on from their recent nine-date sold-out tour of the UK, and kicking off tonight a 45-date tour of the US, on Friday 15th September Goo Goo Dolls will release a special edition vinyl of 'Dizzy Up The Girl', celebrating the 25th anniversary of the iconic album that was released via Warner Bros. Records, and their recent single, 'Run All Night', which is their first original song since the release of their 2022 album, 'Chaos in Bloom', is today's Video Of The Day. 'Dizzy Up The Girl' is a record that catapulted the band into mainstream success and was cemented as one of the most indelible Alt-Rock records in recent memory, featuring songs such as three times Grammy nominated 'Iris', 'Slide' and 'Black Balloon', having sold over 6 million copies worldwide.

An uplifting journey through Marc Hudson’s universe of Power Metal, anime influences, Japanese music and video game soundtracks, the DragonForce vocalist/guitarist releases his innovative first solo full-length, 'Starbound Stories', on Friday 25th August via Napalm Records, of which his second solo single, the energetic 'The Siren', is today's Video Of The Day. Led by a tingling, uplifting melody and ballad-like vocals, the anime-influences that have heavily inspired his ten-track debut, are clearly present in the soundscapes of this single, as the story-like lyrics enchant the listener, accompanied by a video that takes the magical atmosphere of the song to the next level.

Following an incredible set at this year’s Download festival, and ahead of their upcoming ‘Memorial’ European tour, which will kick off in September, that includes their only UK date at London’s iconic O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on Friday 13th October, Hard rockers Soen have recently unleashed the title track and today's Video Of The Day from their new ten-track album, 'Memorial', which is set for release on Friday 1st September via Silver Lining Music. A meeting of melodic magnitude with face-crushingly heavy guitars and driving rhythms, the new single has a ferocious groove, underlying the weighty subject of war and evocative vocals of Joel Ekelöf.

Today's WRC Bulletin not only looks forward to a number of August gigs/festivals at https://www.wrinklyrockersclub.com/gig-calendar-wrinklystock that includes today's six of the best 'August Rocks!'

"The palpable energy of the front man, Lee Vernon, with his gruff vocal style and deft Blues-harp playing is perfectly accompanied by the metronymic insistence of the drummer, Chris Thatcher, ably assisted on bass by Andy Paris: This isn’t just Prog, this is Krautrock rolled into one, and suitably alters the collective state of mind of the audience." That was part of our take last year on 2022 WRC Best Prog nominees Pearl Handled Revolver at A Sunday in September at Balham's The Bedford (see Video Of The Day), and the band return for another excellent London Prog Gigs promotion at Camden's Fiddler's Elbow next Thursday 3rd August with support from Viper Soup Complex.

During his recent Westival Sunday appearance at Aldershot's West End Centre, former European Blues Awards Best Solo/Acoustic finalist, Bluesman Mike Francis, received his 2022 Best Unplugged Act Award from Adam Buttery on behalf of the WRC (photo: Steve Excell), in recognition of his set at London's The 100 Club in May last year, touring the UK as special guest to Big Boy Bloater (Video Of The Day). Currently working on his very own brand of New Era Blues material for release later in 2023, after 45 years on the road, it was Mike's very first time on that iconic Oxford Street stage. Mike added that he was really really grateful to all those who voted for him making this possible.

Following Jessica Lynn's recent successful seven-show UK headline tour, not only do we have today both Simon Green's take and awesome photos from her penultimate gig at Southampton's Suburbia on Tuesday 11th July, but we also have the Country-crossover rising star's 'Ain't Done With You Yet' Video Of The Day, filmed the following night at London's The Lexington.

Our Podcast Of The Week is Beastie's Blues Club, originally broadcast live on www.voodooradio.online straight after Beastie's Rock Show, and this ninety minute slice of the best in Blues, Rhythm and Blues and Music touched by the Blues, features Boo Boo Davis, Selwyn Birchwood, Bad Temper Joe, Steve Cropper, Deuce 'n a Quarter, The Cinelli Brothers (pictured) and more.

A bit earlier than usual, because of a well-earned break from Wrinkly Towers, today we look forward to a number of August gigs/festivals at https://www.wrinklyrockersclub.com/gig-calendar-wrinklystock that includes today's six of the best 'August Rocks!' Tracks Of The Day, featuring Connor Selby, Band Of Friends, The Zombies, Beaux Gris Gris & The Apocalypse, Blue Oyster Cult and Wilco.

Featuring legendary Rhythm'n' Blues band Dr. Feelgood (Video Of The Day) tonight, and set in the picturesque Newton Cross Country Course in Nottinghamshire, primarily raising funds for good causes, Deerstock kicks off today, a wonderfully small but beautiful family music festival weekend, organised by a group of volunteer festival-goers for festivals goers, with three stages, a craft tent, children’s activities, workshops, a well-stocked bar, and an excellent selection of food stalls.
