Ahead of his new album, 'Destination Unknown', set for release on Friday 9th September via Marshall Records, not only is Laurence Jones' latest single and today's Video Of The Day, ‘Anywhere With Me’, the perfect morsel to whet fans’ appetites, but next year Laurence is also now headlining the Leeds Blues Rhythm & Rock Festival at the Brudenell Social Club on Sunday 26th February, with support from The Ryk Mead Band, The James Oliver Band, Catfish, Crow Black Chicken plus Xander And The Peace Pirates. Clocking in at forty one minutes, the album packs an effortless Rock punch whilst not forgetting this prodigy of Blues’ heritage, and after its release, Laurence's band, consisting of Bennett Holland on Hammond, keys and synth, Jack Alexander Timmis on bass guitar and rounded off by Samuel Jenkins on drums, will also be heading out on an extensive UK tour in September, October and December.

Due out next Friday 5th August through Conquest Music, 'Trios' is the third album of Bernie Marsden's ‘Inspirations’ series, wherein Bernie pays tribute to the songs and artists which helped shape his own, hugely influential career as a composer and guitarist, and for his latest single, the guitar legend and national treasure revisits a track that he originally played on in 1974 with Cozy Powell’s Hammer, and their foot stomping hit, ‘Na, Na, Na’, which is also one of today's six of the best 'Friday Rocks!'

For today's Podcast Of The Day, we go back exactly five years ago today, when we had the pleasure of interviewing American Blues-Rock guitarist and singer Jared James Nichols, following his awesome performance on the Saturday, opening Ramblin' Man Fair's Planet Rock Main Stage at Mote Park, Maidstone, when Jared told us all about 'Old Glory', his 'pick-less' electric guitar playing technique and what we could expect from his latest studio album 'Black Magic' due to be released that September.

The Hitman Blues Band, featuring the awesome New York City Horns, played London's The Half Moon in Putney on Wednesday night, part of their 13-date UK tour that also took in Ramsgate's Red Arrow Music Club (new Video Of The Day) and ends at Eastleigh's The Concorde Club this Sunday 31st July, and thanks to WRC photographer Chris Griffiths, we have a great photo gallery today from an evening that he described as "a beautiful combination of so many Blues styles and a great fun band, to make something so enjoyable!" Indeed, following on from their hugely successful UK tour last year, the recent release of their seventh album, ‘Not My Circus, Not My Monkey', has gained critical acclaim across the world, making not only the US Billboard Blues charts, but also the Top 5 on the IBBA UK Blues Radio charts. They're without doubt a unique band playing modern original Blues for the 21st century and inspired versions of Blues classics.

From the bowels of city turmoil, tired of a decadent and mediocre humanity, governed by false values, money and power, the Italian outfit have recently won through to the finals of the Sanremo Rock & Trend Festival, that takes place this September on the the historic stage of the Ariston Theatre, a competition that was won in March last year by Måneskin, just two months before they went on to triumph at Eurovision in Rotterdam.

When Mark Zonder, famed former Fates Warning and Warlord drummer, started working on material in early 2020, he had a very clear vision for the band he wanted to put together, the result being A-Z, and while Zonder is adamant it is not a supergroup that is doing a ‘one and done’ record, it has a stellar lineup, reuniting him with Fates Warning vocalist Ray Alder (hence A-Z = Alder thru Zonder), Steve Vai bassist Philip Bynoe, guitarist Joop Wolters and keyboardist Vivien Lalu, the combination of these stirring up a very specific kind of magic on their eponymous Metal Blade Records debut, due to be released on Friday 12th August, of which the opening track, 'Trial By Fire', is one of today's six of the best 'Thursday Rocks!' Tracks Of The Day, complemented by five further new and recent releases from Dreadnought, Elliott's Keep, Tonic Breed, King Buffalo and Seething Akira.

Tracks Of The Day, complemented by five further new and recent releases from Skypilot, InComing Days, King Bull, Pyramid and The Hollywood Stars.
