Now in its 5th year, and carrying on its solid tradition of bringing both well-known and new Rock bands to Newark Showground, Nottinghamshire, MMH are kicking off Stonedead on Friday 26th August with one huge party, as Black Spiders, Massive and Revival Black are all set to start the Bank Holiday Weekend with a bang, complementing the mouthwatering line-up scheduled for the following day, that includes headliners Michael Schenker Group, The Wildhearts and Thundermother, with all six of those bands making up today's 'MMH Rocks!' Tracks Of The Day.

Today's latest Blues On The Radio Podcast Of The Day features an hour of great music from The Robin Bibi Yorkestra, Fran McGillivray Band, The 2:19, Joe Bonamassa, When Rivers Meet, Dion, Bernie Marsden (pictured), Memphissippi Sounds, Moonshine Society, Mississippi MacDonald, and, of course, Northsyde, ahead of their sold out show at The Tuesday Night Music Club in Coulsdon tonight.

Created in the mind of singer songwriter/multi instrumentalist Brian Troch, My Infected Soul has a very dark Industrial/Rock/Metal/Rave/Djent vibe with peaks and valleys, which take the listener on a very emotionally intense ride, as illustrated by their first single release, 'Watch The World Burn', which is today's Video Of The Day. Following the departure of Troch's life long friend and singer songwriter Jeff Vincent, producer/composer and orchestrator/orchestra leader Spencer Creaghan stepped in to team up with Brian to help co-write, form and round out the sound of the project. Indeed, Creaghan’s orchestration is absolutely amazing and captures the feelings of Troch’s complex heart and mind to an absolute sublime level, that takes you from anger to sadness/beauty/hope/destruction/finality and demise.

Recorded ahead of his appearance at London's Last Man Showcase last Wednesday, today's Podcast Of The Day is Ivan De Mello's audio interview with singer-songwriter Franky Perez, who was in the UK to support his new single, ‘The Great Divide', taken from his forthcoming album and documentary film, ‘Crossing the Great Divide’, which is scheduled to debut at the 2022 SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas, next March. The album, which has been called, “beautiful, inspiring and very timely", will be released by Black Sea Music in Spring next year. Indeed, Franky’s incredible vocal presence and charismatic personality have allowed him to cross multiple genres and work with some of the greatest names in music including Billy Gibbons, Joe Cocker, Darius Rucker, Ringo Starr, Steven Tyler, Cody Jinks, Chris Janson and Slash. Last year, on a journey of service and self-discovery, Franky filmed the documentary as he rode across the US on his motorcycle, playing for healthcare workers and patients and meeting with musicians and friends.

Taken from Low Treble’s second EP, 'Mr. Low', out on Friday 10th December, 'Two Bullet Johnny' is held together by a dizzying fusion of catchy Rock, Funk and Pop, proving that the Greek Alternative Rock band have found a real niche of their own, a track that is also one of today's 'Sunday Rocks!' Tracks Of The Day, complemented by five further new releases from Hellfox, Rage In My Eyes, Hot Chelle Rae, Travis Duo and Teddy Killerz.

Just under five years ago, before their Planet Rock Roadstars Islington O2 Academy tour gig with Federal Charm and Aaron Keylock, we were lucky enough to catch up again with Nashville Rock trio Simo for today's Podcast Of The Day. Indeed, just seven months earlier, we had also interviewed the guys in London, before their Camden Barfly set, despite the fact that just days earlier, JD had dislocated his knee on tour in Paris!
