Having just signed a deal with Roulette Records after a thirteen year hiatus, and renown for their high-energy live shows and Classic Rock influences, Red Baron Band, the Czech Hard Rock and Blues Rock outfit, will release their ten-track fifth album, 'Last Chance', on Friday 5th May, and their fast-paced new single with a catchy chorus, 'Victoria', released last Friday, is also one of today's six of the best 'Wednesday Rocks!' Tracks Of The Day, complemented by five further forthcoming and recent releases from Immortalizer, Stormbreaker, Iron Asparagus, Deadwolff and Oblivion Gate.

Featuring their heaviest compositions and arrangements to date, Finnish cult Rock group, Mansion, have just released their sophomore LP, 'Second Death', and to aptly commemorate this occasion, the band from Turku have unleashed today's Video Of The Day, for the song 'No Funeral'. The band, originally formed in 2011, has been scooping influences both from the current world situation as well as the general decadence of communality, and will be performing over the next couple of months in Helsinki and Tampere with Sapata and Orbiter as support, plus Club Torvi in Lahti with Musta Risti and Moonhaze.

Pentagram drummer Minnesota Pete Campbell joins today's latest The Zach Moonshine Show Podcast Of The Day, to play and talk about all things Pentagram, including his new solo album 'Me, Myself, and I', plus there's new and classic tracks from Sixty Watt Shaman, Gravehuffer, Down, Crowbar, The Red Mountain, The Obsessed, The Limit, Zach Moonshine's Brutal Death Fuck, Inhuman Condition, Metallica, Never Reborn, Rock N Roll Villain Society, Pelvic Meatloaf and St. Madness.

"Our legendary heroes are sadly dropping like flies, leaving a lot of shoes to be filled by today's super talented young musicians, among them Mascot Label artist Big Boy Bloater, whose powerhouse performance last Thursday was arguably the most exciting gig of January Blues Festival 2023." Big Boy Bloater and The LiMiTs returned to London's 100 Club last Thursday, as part of the January Blues Festival, with support from Laura B & Her Band, so today read not only Peter Chow's complete take on the gig, but also check out Chris Griffiths Photo Gallery, plus our 'I Can't Forget About You' Video Of The Day, filmed at that very same iconic venue in Oxford Street, just under five years ago.

At the heart of this week's Blues On The Radio Podcast Of The Day is the Blind Raccoon & Nola Blue Collection Volume 5, playing tracks from The Maple Blues Band, The Gayle Harrod Band, David Lumsden, Steve Howell and The Mighty Men, Anthony Big A Sherrod and John Németh and The Blue Dreamers, plus there's also new releases from Jantso Jokelin, Sean Taylor, The Mike Ross Band, Arielle (pictured), The Cadillac Kings, Blues Arcadia, Marc Broussard, Cash Box Kings and Eddie 9V.

Having originally self-released his eponymous album in 2021, that is now being re-released featuring four new songs via Provogue/Mascot Label Group on Friday 3rd March, singer-songwriter Connor Selby has an impressive recent London venue checklist, including Wembley Stadium, where he opened for The Who in July 2019 plus Hyde Park last Summer, where he was on the bill with Pearl Jam, Stereophonics and Johnny Marr, and one of his sophomore album's bonus tracks, 'I Shouldn't Care', is also one of today's six of the best 'Tuesday Rocks!' Tracks Of The Day, complemented by five further forthcoming and recent releases from Lansdowne, The Pull Of Autumn, Phenomy, Mathew's Hidden Museum and Elvenking.

"Half Moon Panic have only been together eighteen months but are accomplished musicians in their own right and gel very well. The vocalist Gerard Jacques managed to overcome the mangled tuning of the microphone on their stirring rendition of ‘Fortunate Son’; the microphone adding an almost tape-slap effect that made it sound like a studio recording from the sixties. Nights are always special when accidents happen like these." That was part of our take just under three years ago, when we saw Half Moon Panic supporting Jim Kahr at London's historic Ealing Club, and our fellow wrinklies have just released an explosive, rockin' new single, 'Beautiful Places', recorded at 'The Pit Sessions', which is also today's Video Of The Day.

The multinational group’s first outing in eight years, recorded and filmed in France on the last stop of a tour to promote the band’s fifth and most audacious album to date, ‘The Absolute Universe’, Transatlantic - the Prog Supergroup of Neal Morse, Mike Portnoy, Roine Stolt and Pete Trewavas, recently announced the release of a new live album/film entitled ‘The Final Flight: Live At L’Olympia’, which is out on Friday 17th February via InsideOutMusic, of which their live performance of ‘Owl Howl’, a highlight from ‘The Absolute Universe’ album, is one of today's six of the best 'Monday Rocks!' Tracks Of The Day, complemented by five further recent and forthcoming releases from Praise The Sun, Redemption, Killhall, The Wring and Black Reuss.

Following the release last September of his latest album, 'Destination Unknown', via Marshall Records, Laurence Jones's band, consisting of Bennett Holland on Hammond, keys and synth, Jack Alexander Timmis on bass guitar and Samuel Jenkins on drums, are back on the road this month, and exactly five years ago today, we interviewed Laurence before his soundcheck at London's much missed Borderline, which is today's Podcast Of The Day. With the album clocking in at forty one minutes, the Blues Rock guitarist and singer-songwriter packs an effortless Rock punch, whilst also not forgetting his Blues heritage, so make sure you catch him this year when he also headlines the Leeds Blues Rhythm & Rock Festival at the Brudenell Social Club on Sunday 26th February, with support from The Ryk Mead Band, Stephen Dale Petit, Catfish, Crow Black Chicken and Xander And The Peace Pirates.

The last time we covered David Crosby was back in May 2020 when we reviewed the reissue of CPR’s two studio albums 'CPR' and 'Just Like Gravity', plus the group’s two live albums - 'Live at Cuesta College' and 'Live at the Wiltern', so like many others we were sorry to learn of the passing on Wednesday of the former Byrds and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young legend at the age of 81, and in tribute, we once again let the music do the talking with today's Video Of The Day of Crosby, Stills & Nash performing 'Marrakesh Express' and 'Blackbird' at Woodstock in 1969.

Showcasing new single and album releases with the emphasis on independent artists and labels, in the final of three Get Ready To Rock Podcast Of The Day retrospectives, David Randall plays a selection of favourite tracks played in the show in the latter part of the year, including Genghis Nash (pictured), Armor For Sleep, Brighter Than A Thousand Suns, Desoto Jones, Attic Theory and more.

Following their explosive set at HRH NWOCR2 at Leicester's O2 Academy last night, Cologne based Rock n Rollers, Sweet Electric, fronted by Brad Marr from Australian band Massive, who now resides in Germany, stop off at London's The Black Heart in Camden tonight as part of their UK tour, and their latest classic Rock n Roll single, 'Hard Times', featuring big drums and riffs, high screeching vocals and an infectious singalong chorus, is also one of today's six of the best 'Sunday Rocks!' Tracks Of The Day, complemented by five further forthcoming and recent releases from Elk City, Wishing Well, Shores Of Null, Shakra and Cyanide 4.
