WRC award-winning 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, and Pete's latest Rock & Blues show is today's Podcast Of The Day, featuring Big Apple Blues Band, Cardinal Black, Erja Lyytinen (pictured), DeWolff, Joe Satriani, Slim Harpo, Family, Layla Zoe, Jimmy McGriff, Dan McCafferty, Colosseum, Mike Brookfield, plus lots more.

With their debut album, 'Charm Offensive', released earlier this year to critical acclaim from press, media and music fans alike, and ahead of spreading their grit, glamour, emotion and possibly some glitter on a run of four UK live shows next month, with special guests glamorous rebel Punkster Nina Courson and her band, Healthy Junkies, plus delightfully eccentric Punks, Soho Dukes, including a Christmas Spectacular at London's The Water Rats on Tuesday 20th December, Slyder Smith & The Oblivion Kids have released a heart pounding cover version of the iconic 80s hit, 'The NeverEnding Story', accompanied by today's Video Of The Day. Filmed by Wills Audio at the famous Buckley Tivoli Theatre and transformed into a fun concept video with additional footage and editing by producer Darren Stockford, paying homage to that bombastic 80's era, the power trio consisting of Slyder (vocals/guitar), Tim Emery (bass) and Carl Donaghue (drums), boldly reimagine Giorgio Morodor’s 80s cult classic, whilst staying true to the original, bringing a dynamic commercial Rock feel to Limahl’s Electronic Pop hit, with guest vocals from the aforementioned Nina.

Having just completed a UK tour, following the release in September of their third full-length record, ‘Crackdown’, via Colemine Records, the good news is that not only are chart topping Blues Rockers GA-20 returning to these shores next June, but also inspired by the legendary Muddy Waters album 'Electric Mud', the landmark musical foray of traditional Chicago Blues colliding with Psychedelic music, they also recorded late night after a show in Atlanta, the band's brand new instrumental single, 'ATL', that was released yesterday, which is also one of today's six of the best 'Wednesday Rocks!' Tracks Of The Day', complemented by five further recent and forthcoming releases from Elk City, The Ironfist, Belladonna and Carlo Rovelli, The Wring and Shepherds Reign.

Now in its 6th year, and carrying on its solid tradition of bringing both well-known and new Rock bands to Newark Showground, Nottinghamshire, next 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.

"Of the four gigs I’ve had the pleasure to attend this year, I’d say this was (by a small margin) the best as far as I'm concerned (and not just because I didn’t have AJ telling how much he loves the 'Hamburger Concerto')... for a band of an already insanely high musical pedigree they seemed even tighter than usual and into it as much as the audience - arguably a little surprising as they must have been knackered, having only landed back on these shores the previous day for this brisk run of eight UK dates before a final pre-Christmas gig in The Netherlands and a well-earnt six weeks or so off the road." Fronted by founding member Thijs Van Leer, and best known for their hits 'Hocus Pocus' and 'House of The King', as well as critically acclaimed albums 'Moving Waves', 'Focus 3' and 'Hamburger Concerto', the iconic Dutch music masters Focus returned to Chislehurst's The Beaverwood last Tuesday, and today we not only have Mark C's complete take on the gig, but also some great photos plus our 'Sylvia' Video Of The Day, filmed on the night.

Today's latest Blues On The Radio Podcast Of The Day starts and finishes with Krissy Matthews (pictured) ahead of his show at The Tuesday Night Music Club in Coulsdon tonight, plus there's music from Dayna Kurtz, Tomislav Goluban featuring Teresa James, Trevor Babajack, Greg Brice and loads more.

Following the release last month of her latest studio album, 'Nobody’s Fool', via KTBA Records, award-winning guitarist and singer-songwriter, Joanne Shaw Taylor, stopped off at Hastings White Rock Theatre on Saturday, the fourth leg of her current November/December UK tour, where, according to our photographer Bruce Biege, she was exceptional, the set list stand-out's being 'Watch 'Em Burn' and 'Fade Away', plus we have Bruce's equally exceptional Photo Gallery from the gig and our Video Of The Day, also filmed that evening.

With their Christmas special now taking place on Thursday 22nd December at the legendary G2 in Glasgow, Stir Crazy, the new project from Dom O’Riley and Ian “Mutt” Turner, will see the ex-Shooter guitarists joined on stage by ex-Bad Company guitarist Dave “Bucket” Colwell and Gun's Andy Carr on bass, plus some other very special guests, and for today's Podcast Of The Day we go back exactly seven years to the day, when Shooter were special live guests in the Rock On The Ridge show studio, with the band just about to release their Christmas single, 'Xmas Time’s a Time to Rock', with its immortal line, "Well We May Be Old & Wrinkly".

Now with Corey “Rizzo” Rozzoni (Burden Bros.) on lead guitar, and in advance of their sixth full-length, that finds the Nashville, Tennessee outfit delivering more of the Pop-infused Classic Rock stylings they’ve become known for, albeit with a slightly harder edge, last Friday saw the release of The Great Affairs very first Christmas single, 'Santa Lost My List (Didn't Get Sh!t)', which is also one of today's six of the best 'Monday Rocks!' Tracks Of The Day, complemented by five further recent and forthcoming releases from Hellrazor, Rob Munk, Aittala, The Shadow's Gone Out and Mega Drive.

AOR Rock/Metal group, Twisted Mind, was founded in 2017 by Dan Saliman, an Israeli musician of a Yemenite and Moroccan-based heritage, and next month they will release their fiery new brand of happy Metal with their debut EP, 'From Slave To Prophet', of which the first single,'Walked Through Hell', not only captures the true essence of the band, but is also one of today's six of the best 'Sunday Rocks!' Tracks Of The Day, complemented by five further recent and forthcoming releases from 3Mind Blight, Motive Black, Immunity, Lansdowne and Incognito Theory.

A great mix awaits your delicate lug'oles as today's Podcast Of The Day turns the clock back exactly seven years to the day, when the Blues on the Marsh show broadcasted tunes from Laja, Dead Shrimp, Chris King Robinson, Mike Whellans, The Norman Beaker Band, Mike Sanchez featuring Albert Lee, Eric Bibb and JJ Milteau, King Rollo, Tas Cru, The Baily Bros, Greg Copeland and Martin Messing, Dave Weld and The Imperial Flames, Swingrowers, Charlie Beale, Mick Abrahams, David M'ore, The Jackson Four plus the icing on the cake, an interview with the Queen of New York Blues, Regina Bonelli.

Today's Video Of The Day is 'Swear Above Suspicion', the opening track from Psychedelique Garage Noir deux-piece, West Wickhams newly released five-track limited edition CD EP, 'Magenta' - the colour of universal harmony and emotional balance - and to celebrate its release, a limited number of 'Magenta' artwork editions, with extra goodies, will also be exclusively available on Golden Believers Records Bandcamp. Before they hit the road next year, the band, originally from Tresco in the Isles of Scilly, but now based in Richmond, Surrey, and consisting of Jon Othello and Elle Flores, will be supporting The Chameleons at the Blackpool Music Bar on Sunday 18th December. Indeed, not only do the duo see themselves as an imagined rival gang to Punk style icons the Bromley Contingent, but also include Whitby Abbey, Pipe Organs, Flowers, Polka Dot Cats, Dark Punk, Gothic Novels, Rock 'n' Roll Autobiographies, Castles, Abstract Painting, Euphoria, Mist, Autumn, Halloween, Optical Illusions, Edgar Allan Poe and Andy Warhol, among others, as their influences!
