Influenced by the monster sound of Audioslave, Soundgarden and Alter Bridge, and following the release last month of their highly anticipated eponymous ten-track album, Brighton-based, Heavy Classic Rock and Roll four-piece, Bad Luck Friday, have released just in time for Halloween, their second single, 'Banshee', which is also one of today's six of the best 'Halloween Rocks!' Tracks Of The Day, complemented by five further spooky releases from Beauty In Chaos, The Druids Of Stonehenge, The Spooky Guests, Cabin Boy Jumped Ship and Fight The Fade.

Earlier this month, not only did Metalcore legends, We Came As Romans, release their long-awaited new album,'Darkbloom', via Sharptone Records, but the band also shared the visualiser for one of the album's ten tracks, 'One More Day', which is today's Video Of The Day. Since the release of their milestone debut album, 2009’s 'To Plant a Seed', 'Darkbloom' is a bright light in the darkness with the strength of every WCAR album before it, as singer David Stephens, guitarist Joshua Moore, bassist Andy Glass, guitarist Lou Cotton and drummer David Puckett, usher in an ambitious, courageous new era, while honouring the legacy and memory of their fallen bandmate,co-vocalist and keyboardist Kyle Pavone.

Following previous single, 'Hard Wired', plus teasing his brand new single when recently headlining New York City's Mercury Lounge, last Wednesday singer-songwriter, guitarist and Gibson brand ambassador,Jared James Nichols, released the hard-hitting 'Down The Drain' via Black Hill Records, which 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 Quizboy, Powerwolf, Near Dusk, U.D.O. and Royal Hunt.

Originally broadcast last Friday night, today's Rock Vault 107 Podcast Of The Day includes music from Aerosmith, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Alice Cooper, Tesla (pictured), plus loads more classic tracks from the vaults. Indeed, you can listen live to Jules and Bob every Friday night at 8pm on 107 Meridian FM. Taking you back in time, they'll bring you tracks that you may know and some you may not, plus they always feature a special year.

Following the release last month 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, stopped of at London's iconic 100 Club on Thursday night, with support from Mississippi MacDonald, and below we not only have John 'Mr. Rockrpix' Bull's excellent Photo Gallery from the gig, but Laurence's performance of 'Tonight' is also today's Video Of The Day. Clocking in at forty one minutes, the Blues Rock guitarist and singer-songwriter's album packs an effortless Rock punch, whilst also not forgetting his Blues heritage, and Laurence continues his extensive UK tour in December, plus next year he will be headlining 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 plus Xander And The Peace Pirates.

HRH Prog XII takes place next year at Great Yarmouth's Camp HRH, over the long weekend of 9th to 12th November, with appearances from Spock's Beard, Tangerine Dream, Steeleye Span, Airbag, Gong, Focus, IT and so much more, and for today's Podcast Of The Day, we go back to London's 229 The Venue in March 2018, when we not only managed to present the very same IT with their fully deserved 2017 WRC Best Prog Performance award, but we also managed to do a quick interview with Nick Jackson (vocals and guitar) and Andy Rowberry (lead guitar) after their soundcheck.

Trevena is the title of a Classic Rock project set up by Will Prince as a means of completing his unfinished business in the music industry, returning with a renewed focus and determination to write solid guitar-based music, hence his forthcoming album, 'Distant Light', due to be released on Friday 18th November, of which the track, 'Danse Macabre', not only gives you a taste of what awaits, but it's also one of today's six of the best 'Saturday Rocks!' Tracks Of The Day, complemented by five further new and recent releases from Sons Of Arrakis, Faith Marie, Kings Of Chaos, Aittala and The Riven.

"To the obvious delight of many of those present, Stevie stepped forward to share the solo spotlight with his brother on both ‘You Stopped The Rain’ (2015) and ‘I Will Not Fall’ (2020). Even after so many years, it’s hard to decide which of them is the more impressive guitarist; honours very much even, I’d say." With Kenny Wayne Shepherd unfortunately unable to make it to UK shores this month, Planet Rock recruited three new bands to headline the three Rocktober dates in Bristol, London and Sheffield, namely Reef, Wilko Johnson and The Sweet respectively, and today we not only have Gary Smith's take on the Shepherd's Bush Empire leg with special guests King King and When Rivers Meet, from Tuesday 18th October, but we also have Tim Russell's brilliant Photo Gallery plus Wilko's 'Roxette' Video Of The Day.

"Sensational, in a nutshell; a great player who as well as playing songs from his recent studio release, 'A Savage Life', ‘Here Comes the River’ and ‘Drink in Blue Colours’ being particularly memorable, really let rip on a blistering version of ‘Laundromat’ by Rory Gallagher (of course) followed immediately after a shouted enquiry to the audience of “one more?”, by an extended version of ‘What’s Going On’ by the same artist." That was part of our take when double 2022 UKBlues Awards winner, Dom Martin, was Eric Gales' special guest at Basingstoke's The Haymarket back in June, and despite his forthcoming co-headline tour with Erja Lyytinen being cancelled due to economic conditions,Dom's A Savage Life Tour 2022 continues tonight at Chester's Farndon Community Club, and today, not only do we have Chris Griffiths Photo Gallery below of both Dom and special guest Alice Armstrong at London's Half Moon in Putney from Tuesday night, but we also have today's Video Of The Day of "Dom Martin Plays Rory Gallagher from Deuce".

The Jo Harman/Mike Farris nine-date tour kicks off at Exeter Phoenix next Thursday 3rd November, stopping off at London's Jazz Cafe in Camden two days later, concluding on Sunday 13th November at Uckfield Civic Centre in Sussex, and to coincide with the tour, not only does today's six of the best 'Friday Rocks!' Tracks Of The Day feature a newly released live in Camden version of Jo's, 'The Reformation', that was recently played on Elles Bailey's Planet Rock show, but we also have Grammy Award winning Mike's unreleased track, 'Movin Me', recorded live at Masterlink, where Jo sings a verse and Elles is also featured on backing vocals, plus four further forthcoming and recent releases from Apollo's Army, The Speed Of Sound, (EchO) and Gen2.
