Consisting of Shane Callaghan on rhythm guitar and lead vocals, Will Scott on drums, Callum Bromage on guitar and vocals, and Jay Evans on bass guitar and vocals, and having recently supported Reef and Florence Black, their first single, ‘Holy’, from the Indie Alternative Rock band’s debut EP in 2022, gained a huge amount of airplay around the globe.

"The six-piece band were fronted by the multi-talented, 22-year-old Marcus King, whose expressive guitar playing, soulful singing and emotive song-writing make it clear that this gifted young musician is a true talent to be reckoned with; a genuine force of nature." That was part of our take on the Marcus King Band at London's Islington Assembly Hall back in October in 2018 (see below) and now just over four years down the line, following both last year's reimagined versions of Spotify singles 'Crazy' and 'It's Too Late' and his critically acclaimed August album, 'Young Blood', the guitar prodigy returns to the UK and Europe this month,bringing his stadium-sized show full of Country, Soul, Blues and Rock 'n' Roll on a thirteen-date 'The Young Blood Tour,' of which a recent acoustic version of 'Hard Working Man', taken from the album, is today's Video Of The Day.

Last October, British eclecto Pop masters The Dowling Poole, comprising the singer-songwriting duo of Willie Dowling and Jon Poole, released their latest album, 'Refuse', consisting of a couple of brand new unreleased tracks plus nine previously released ‘digital only’ tracks, that had been carefully remixed and remastered, of which they have recently released today's Video Of The Day for their song, 'Push Repeat'. Willie added, "We took a bit of a punt on the video. A chap I’d not met before called Sam Riddlestone contacted us from Australia, and he sent me a thirty-second taster of video ideas that he'd done for the track. We were really impressed with the originality of his style and he’d entirely got the concept and story of the song, so we agreed to push ahead, and this is what he came back to us with, which we’re really happy with.”

"Hopefully The Damn Truth will grace these shores again before too long; if you check them out online, I’m confident you’ll be waiting for them with your money out when they do!"

Last June, Michael Monroe released his latest album, 'I Live Too Fast To Die Young', via Silver Lining Music, a triumphant - and perhaps most importantly, defiant - roar to offer you a chance to let your hair down (or up!), as we witnessed on Sunday night at London's O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire, as the Rock-Punk poets joined Black Star Riders as they completed their 2023 UK tour along with Motörhead’s Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons, and with a review to come, not only check out today Les Linyard's amazing Photo Gallery, but also our BSR 'All Hell Breaks Loose/Bloodshot' Video Of The Day, filmed on the night.
