Now in its 6th year, and carrying on its solid tradition of bringing both well-known and new Rock bands to Newark Showground, Nottinghamshire, this year Stonedead kicks off on 25th August with their Friday Party starting the Bank Holiday Weekend with a bang, followed by a mouthwatering line-up the following day (pictured), and today's 'Stonedead Rocks!' Tracks Of The Day feature six of the great bands taking part, namely Blue Oyster Cult, The Answer, King King, Mason Hill, South Of Salem and Kira Mac.

"Despite the complexity of the music they are so tight, so locked in, so attuned to each other, and whilst the band is quite obviously comprised of members from two distinct generations, I am sure this is completely irrelevant to these four virtuoso players who each thrive on and enjoy each others playing (check out the picture of a seemingly awestruck Thijs looking on whilst Pierre solos)." That was part of our take on Focus's gig at The Beaverwood, Chislehurst, Kent, in May (Video Of The Day), and consequently the iconic Dutch music masters have been voted 'Best Prog Performance' in our 2022 WRC Awards.

Following hot on the heels of his Heavenly Homes Prog review of 2022, Episode 4 of Beastie's Blues Club sees Beastie asking some of the Best Blues talent around to record a little piece to include their favourite albums of 2022, their top three, plus a track from each album, the result being today's Podcast Of The Day featuring Oliver Darling, Trevor Babajack Steger, Charlie Musselwhite, The Terraplanes Blues Band, Kat Riggins and more.

Given Pete Feenstra has spent the last forty years listening to, writing about, talking about, and promoting Rock music, with a particular interest in the Blues, it's no real surprise that Pete's Rock & Blues show has again won our WRC 2022 Best Podcast award, and as proof, his latest 'Best Of 2022 (Part 2)' show is today's Podcast Of The Day, featuring Ronnie Earl, Marcus King, Scott McKeon, Pierre Lacocque’s Mississippi Heat, Sugaray Rayford, Snowy White, Early James, Chas Cronk, White Spirit, Wily Bo Walker (pictured) featuring Kareña K, Robin Trower, Anthony Geraci featuring Walter Trout, Albert Castiglia, Dan Patlansky, Ritchie Dave Porter & Debra Susan, John Sims Light Trails, Chris Antonik, plus many more.

Ahead of their first visit since February 2020 to the UK/Ireland this June, plus four decades into their storied career, four-time GRAMMY® Award nominated, Goo Goo Dolls, have been voted our 2022 WRC Video Of The Year for 'You Are The Answer' (Video Of The Day), a melodic ballad that explores the experience of devoted love during times of difficulty, and the second song taken from their thirteenth studio album, 'Chaos in Bloom', released via Warner Records last August.

Following the success of Hard Rock Hell Blues VI that took place at Sheffield's O2 Academy in April last year, for its 7th wave of Blues Rock, this year's legends return again to that very same venue over the weekend of 8th - 9th April, and today's 'HRH Blues VII Rocks!' Tracks Of The Day, showcase six of the acts taking part, namely, Mississippi MacDonald, The Emma Wilson Band, Born Healer, Mike Ross, The Brew and Dom Martin.

For fans of Progressive, Power, Thrash and Gothic Metal, such as Dream Theater, Lacuna Coil and Powerwolf, and with a slew of singles impacting internet Metal radio, NewYork/Pennsylvania five-piece outfit, Severed Angel, forged to unleash a sonic assault of Melodic Heavy Metal upon the masses, is preparing to release their debut dogs of war self-titled release this Spring upon an unsuspecting world, of which the album track, 'Run and Hyde', is one of today's six of the best 'Tuesday Rocks!' Tracks Of The Day, complemented by five further forthcoming and recent releases from Hand Of Fate, Steelwings, FreqGen, Signs Preyer and Twisted Mind.

Blues On The Radio's latest Podcast, The Great Escape Part 2, is another hour of great music, with no chat and without even a mention of Christmas, featuring favourite albums from this year, including GA-20, Shemekia Copeland, Trevor Babajack, John Primer & The Real Deal, The Boneshakers, The Lucky 13s, The Reverend Shawn Amos, Jana Varga, Supersonic Blues Machine, Kirk Fletcher, Laura Evans (pictured), Stevie Watts Organ Trio featuring Alice Armstrong, Aynsley Lister and John Németh.

"The time had come for the reason everyone is here tonight, the full twenty-three-minute performance of the Floyd masterpiece that is 'Echoes' from the 1971 album 'Meddle'! One of my favourite Floyd songs of all time. 'Echoes' is the point in which the Floyd sound was fully developed and realised, paving the way for what became the 'Dark Side of the Moon' album. A monumental piece that takes the listener through various moods with juxtaposing tempos and grooves. The original mellifluous vocal harmonies were that of David Gilmour and Richard Wright, at this performance Kemp and Pratt had that unenviable task, but I am pleased to say they both did a sterling job." That was part of our take on Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets gig at the Royal Albert Hall in London from April (Video Of The Day), and consequently the legendary Pink Floyd drummer's band has been voted 'Best Tribute', in our 2022 WRC Awards.

Consisting of Melancholic Dark Metal with a wide range of influences, from Gothic Metal to Doom Metal and Melodic Black/Death Metal, with frequent use of vocal harmonies and deep growls, and for fans of Paradise Lost, Amorphis and Enslaved, the fourth album from Rome’s Shores of Null, 'The Loss Of Beauty', is due out on Friday 24th March, of which their first single, 'Nothing Left To Burn', is also one of today's six of the best 'Bank Holiday Monday Rocks!' Tracks Of The Day, complemented by five further recent and forthcoming releases from Silverfeet, Mega Drive, Leaflet, Highfront and Hyperdrive Stereo.
