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 his latest '2021 Highlights (Part 2)' show is today's Podcast Of The Day, featuringVoodoo Ramble, Big Daddy Wilson, Mary Stokes Band, Eric Krasno, Mick Pini, Tommy Castro, Fran McGillivray Band, Zed Mitchell, Dust Radio, Eric Gales (pictured), Julian Taylor, Wily Bo Walker, plus many more.

Featured on Steve Vai’s upcoming studio album, 'Inviolate', to be released digitally and on CD via Favored Nations/Mascot Label Group on Friday 28th January, today's Video Of The Day of 'Little Pretty', captures Vai performing in his inner sanctum, also known as “Harmony Hut”. Over the course of a more than 40-year career, Steve has routinely transformed what would appear to be outrageously impossible into something very, very possible, from his days as Frank Zappa’s “stunt guitar” player to his more recent expansive and exploratory solo work, and this newest and 13th solo album, is a nine-song opus that once again pushes the boundaries of instrumental guitar music, and is indeed a body of work that presents his most focused, streamlined and perhaps invigorating music in years.

For Rock fans as wide ranging as Dokken, Alice In Chains, Skid Row, Don Broco and Rammstein, Gone Savage are aiming to release their latest twelve-track album in mid-2022, and as an early taster, they have re-recorded, re-mastered, re-released and included a special 30 year anniversary special of 'Love Caught Me Out', which is also one of today's six of the best 'Thursday Rocks!' Tracks Of The Day, complemented by five further new and recent releases from Roman Angelos, Gaiabeta, Tiny Fighter, Dethonator and Iona James & Clint Slate.

Hauntingly melancholy yet uplifting, 'For All We've Left Behind', due to be released on Tuesday 22nd February, is a new collection of music from Black Lakes for fans of Melodic Hard Rock/Alternative Metal, that has one foot placed firmly in the now and the other striding forward in collective hope for a brighter future in the darkest of times, of which the Welsh band's third track of a cool dozen, 'Dissident', is one today's six of the best Wednesday Rocks!

Following their 2019 magnum opus, Swedish Post-Rock masters Oh Hiroshima have returned with their fourth studio album, 'Myriad', slated for release on Friday 4th March via Napalm Records, of which their beautifully crafted first single, 'Humane', is today's Video Of The Day. In comparison to previous works, remaining brothers Jakob Hemström and Oskar Nilsson (following the departure of bassist Simon Forsberg in early 2021) incorporate more influences from various genres, a phenomenon which is perfectly emphasised on this most direct and intense single, that builds into a mesmerising aura, before the track explodes into a sonic ascension of grace and breathtaking power. Indeed, the album is a mixture of emotions - from infinite sadness to moments of clarity and heart-rending melodies, blending into a rumbling volcano of aesthetic noise and ferocious power, but also the unique use of trumpets, cello and trombones throughout - that sees the duo outclass and grow.

Scott Metzger releases his debut album, 'Too Close To Reason', on Friday 4th March via RPF Records, and the collection's first single, 'Don't Be A Stranger', is today's accompanying Video Of The Day.

Metzger will also support the album with a series of tour dates, four of which have been already been announced, starting at Club Passim in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on Wednesday 30th March, followed by shows in New York City, Washington, DC and Philadelphia.
