Complementing our reviews/photos from the three-day A New Day festival held at Mt Ephraim Gardens in Faversham over the weekend of 20th-22nd August, today's 'Reflections' Podcast Of The Day, looks back at Day 1, including interviews and much more from Martin Turner's ex Wishbone Ash (pictured), Jamie Pipe (The Mentulls/Martin Barre), Tree Stewart (The Emerald Dawn), Darby Todd (Martin Barre) and Martin Barre.

A Permanent Shadow, the musical collective led by Barcelona-resident CP Fletcher, recently released today's Video Of The Day,'Shining Star', their first single off of their second long play,'Humdrum', due to be released in March next year. Musically, the single pays homage to Fletcher’s biggest hero, David Bowie, with the longer album version starting with an instrumental intro slightly reminiscent of 'Space Oddity'.It's a song that deals with envy and betrayal among friends and family members, which implies a search for spiritual relief from those earthly troubles in which the never-ending journey represents the actual act of release. The ballad as usual comes with this stunning video, directed by Motorzombis singer Dani Moreno, showing a group of“searchers” crossing the metaphorical desert in search of their own guiding light, only to be bitterly disappointed once they find it within reach. A Permanent Shadow’s debut album was released in September 2019 to critical acclaim on the band’s own APE Music imprint.

Last month, Parisian power-trio Iron Lizards released their debut album, ’Hungry For Action‘, on The Sign Records, twelve furious cuts of high energy Garage Rock straight from the Alternative 90s, which is today's Video Of The Day. Consisting of Elio - guitar and vocals, Kevin - drums and Valentin - bass guitar, it's dirty, gritty and gutsy Rock 'n' Roll, boiled down into its true essence. Indeed, Iron Lizards make music alive once again, with their raw riffs, fuzz-fueled loud screaming guitars, raw production, hefty shouts for vocals and punchy drums.

Iconic singer, songwriter, guitarist, and Alice In Chains co-founder, Jerry Cantrell, releases his new LP,'Brighten', on Friday 29th October, and in advance of its release, the title track is today's Video Of The Day. Over the past year, he co-produced 'Brighten' with film composer Tyler Bates (John Wick), and Paul Fig (long-time engineer), plus a dynamic cast of supporting players including Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses) on selected bass tracks, Greg Puciato (Dillinger Escape Plan) contributing to backing vocals and drummers Gil Sharone and Abe Laboriel Jr. (Paul McCartney). This is Cantrell's third full-length solo offering, led by the single ‘Atone’, and now 'Brighten', this album is a worthy addition to Cantrell’s repertoire and the larger American Rock‘n’ Roll songbook.

"Back to the Rising Stage and for me, possibly the find of the festival. Gorilla Riot are a 5 piece bundle of excitement from Manchester reminiscent of early GnR although with a strong vein of Blues flowing through them. With three guitars (steady Mother! – two Les Paul's and an SG) they make a big sound and frontman Arjun Bhishma made a big impact on the clearly supportive audience. The set went from hard rocking to groove Rock with hypnotic beats. Lead guitarist Liam Henry on the SG produced some fine work without being overbearing. Again we have proof that young guitar Rock is alive and flourishing." That was part of our glowing Gorilla Riot Ramblin' Man Fair review back in July 2018 and we were lucky enough to interview band members Liam and Degsy in the Press Area after their set, which is today's Podcast Of The Day.
