Clare Free (pictured)releases her brand new single, 'Call Trade Descriptions', next Friday 19th March, and this funky groovy track with a retro vibe, heavily influenced by Albert Collins, is one of our six of the best 'Free Trade Blues' Tracks Of The Day, also complemented by Dr. Feelgood, Zed Mitchell, Elles Bailey, Bad Day Blues Band and Trev Turley.

"This is an album to immerse yourself in the expressive, flighty slide-guitar playing of a master. It seems to be Mitchell is a great synthesist who has fully absorbed his past collaborations into something that sounds familiar and is all-the-more comforting for it. A musical journey that rewards repeat listening as Zed states on track 6 'I Like To Drive (I’m Ready To Live)'." Check out today both Ivan De Mello's complete take below on Zed Mitchell's LP, 'Route 69', released on vinyl on Tuesday 9th March, plus today's Video Of The Day of 'Freedom Trail'.

Taken from their new album, 'The Only Thing', today's Video Of The Day is 'Sell Yourself' by Perseide, a band conceived and born from four childhood friends who decided to form a Rock band back in 2001. Indeed, their debut has been well worth waiting for, following two EPs plus thousands of gigs across France, Europe and even in the USA, with bands like Soilwork, Betraying The Martyrs, Cancer Bats, We Butter The Bread With Butter and Protest The Hero. Thus the story continues today, stronger than ever and ready to take these four eternal teenagers as far as possible.

As an answer to those who have attempted to hold her back in the past, it's bandleader's Amy Lee’s unapologetic declaration of independence. With mammoth vocals and a Metal heart, the song follows previous singles 'Wasted On You' and 'Use My Voice'. Better Without You' was teased with an interactive digital puzzle that fans were challenged to solve in order to hear a snippet of the song and the two-time GRAMMY® Award-winners have plenty more surprises in store leading up to ‘The Bitter Truth'.
