Born from the smouldering embers of celebrated British Punks ​Sharks,​ UK Post Punks, The Violent Hearts, released their debut album, 'Everything And Nothing', worldwide in September last year via Dinner For Wolves, and after receiving glowing reviews for the record and a solid UK tour in support of its release, the band are set to appear at Cheltenham's 2000 Trees Festival this coming Saturday 9th July, of which their album track, 'Deeply Unaffected', is also one of today's six of the best 'Sunday Rocks!'

Following the release of their critically acclaimed full-length album, ‘Heavy Shoes', in August last year via their new home at Mascot Records, and more recently the release of their latest single taken from said album, 'Mojo Hand', Indiana Rock 'n' Roll trio, The Cold Stares, have just completed their June/July UK tour, and today, courtesy of Mr. Rockrpix John Bull, we have some great photos of their Sittingbourne Music Club gig from Thursday night, plus a 'Two Keys and a Good Book' Video Of The Day. Consisting of Chris Tapp (vocals/guitar), Brian Mullins (drums) and new addition, bassist Bryce Klueh, there's a richness running through their songs with dark, multi-layered narratives that course through every twist and turn, where dirty fuzzed-up Rock and Roll meet Blues, Garage, Desert Rock and a Southern Gothic sensibility.

Last month, Curb Records recording artist and Grammy nominee, Lee Brice, released the R3HAB Remix of his Top 30 single, 'Soul', taken off of Brice's highly acclaimed 15-track album, 'Hey World', an uplifting and danceable track that pairs the Country music singer/songwriter with multi-Platinum artist, Blanco Brown, making this iteration not only an infectious anthem just in time for the Summer, but also today's Video Of The Day. All-in providing a fully-immersive, perspective-bringing, real-life look at our world, Brice is currently taking this latest album on the road this Summer, for all the fans who have been clamouring for his highly awaited headlining, Label Me Proud Tour, that sees support from his good friend and artist Michael Ray and recording artist Jackson Dean, plus appearances from Tyler Farr and Tim Montana on selected dates.

'Live At Maximum Festival', due to be released on Friday 22nd July by Go Down Records, pays homage to one of the most influential bands of Desert-Rock, Fatso Jetson, that not only shows that the cult band are now more alive than ever, but also their musical development, given nowadays they’re playing a mix of Hard-Rock, Jazz, Blues, Country, Psychedelia and Acid-Prog, while only an echo of the Monolithic Stoner sound remains, of which their live album track, 'Flesh Trap Blues', is one of today's six of the best 'Saturday Rocks!' Tracks Of The Day, complemented by five further new and recent releases from Beastwood, Freedumb, The Ember Glows, Words That Burn and Sidewalk Mafia.

Alex from 10,000 Years joins today's The Zach Moonshine Show Podcast Of The Day to play and talk about their new record, 'III', plus there's music from Belphegor, BulletBoys, Megadeth, Born in Ruin, Conan, Ozzy Osbourne, Mortician, Shroud Of Bereavement, Down, Chemicide, Exodus, Sepultura, Metallica, Mercyful Fate, Queensryche, Slayer and more!

"For the encore we were surprised to receive a rendition of David Bowie's 'Moonage Daydream'. (Originally from the 1972 album 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars', which turned fifty this very month). A rapturous celebratory interpretation of this classic song with exquisite vocal delivery from Larsson. The band then left the stage triumphant with the enthusiastically attentive crowd chanting and clapping for more. Unfortunately, they did not return to the stage, leaving us wanting more! It was all over too soon, but they did promise that they will be back before the end of the year. It was quite evident that the band were firing on all four cylinders and without doubt delivered the goods!" Today read the whole of Steven C. Gilbert's take on Blues Pills' recent gig at London's Boston Music Room from Wednesday 15th June, plus check out today's awesome 'Bye Bye Birdy' Video Of The Day filmed at Belgium's Graspop North Stage just three days later.

Exactly four years ago today, Orlando’s Thomas Wynn And The Believers opened The Outlaw Country Stage at Ramblin' Man Fair in Mote Park, Maidstone, Kent, and today's Podcast Of The Day is an interview we had with brother and sister Thomas and Olivia after their excellent set. Listen as we talked about their hugely successful UK tour with The Temperance Movement, their US Tour with Myles Kennedy plus their album 'Wade Waist Deep’ which was released in May 2017 via Mascot Records/Mascot Label Group and recorded with four-time Grammy award-winning producer, Vance Powell (The White Stripes, Jack White, Chris Stapleton).

Hot on the heels of his critically acclaimed 2021 album, 'The Fire Cosmic', Blues-Rock slide guitarist and singer-songwriter Troy Redfern returns with his most compelling album of his career with 'The Wings of Salvation', released by RED7 Records on Friday 23rd September, and Troy has also just released his first single from the new ten-track album, 'Come On', which is accompanied by today's fantastic hi-octane Blues-Rock slide guitar Video Of The Day. This bombastic, high-energy Blues boogie single comes out of the gate like a tasered rodeo horse, with both an infectious sing-along chorus plus a definite T. Rex guitar vibe, no doubt a result of him touring with The Sweet last year! Indeed, Redfern is back out on the road next month supporting Hayseed Dixie and then Dare in October, yet another opportunity for Troy not only to showcase his unprecedented six albums in just under two years, but also an exciting new chapter in Redfern’s trajectory, highlighting Troy’s powerfully edgy vocal delivery, condensed song writing skills, tight arrangements, complemented by his trademark “firebrand” slide guitar playing, using both vintage guitars and amps.
