Devon’s Beautiful Days, which is scheduled to take place over the weekend of 20th - 22nd August, in the grounds of Escot Park, has recently announced over 50 artists for the 2021 event including headliners Frank Turner and The Sleeping Souls, James and Levellers. Beautiful Days has never just been about the music though - the festival has a seated Theatre Tent, walkabout performances, site art installations, an array of food and crafts stalls and real ale bars run by local brewers, Otter Brewery. Indeed, organisers are working hard, planning to go ahead at full capacity following next month's Step 4 of the Government’s roadmap, which hopes to allow large events to take place without restrictions.

Surrey's J Lee and the Hoodoo Skulls will release their groove laden and down-right-dirty rocking second album, ‘Beggars Soul’, on Friday 25th June, of which their latest single, 'Let Your Hair Down', is one of today's six of the best 'Sunday Rocks!' Tracks Of The Day, complemented by five further new and forthcoming releases from Victory Kicks, Bob Fitzgerald, The Lost Search Party, Artificial Eden and Smoulder.

"Entering the stage to Rose Tattoo's 'Rock and Roll Outlaw', frontman John Corabi launches into the opening track 'Midnight Moses' with Marco Mendoza assisting on vocals whilst playing some pumping bass. Rhythm guitarist, and driving force behind the Daisies, is Aussie Dave Lowy, who plays some sumptuous SG's - I particularly like the matt black one." That was part of our Dead Daisies review at Hard Rock Hell 12, back in November 2018, and after their set, we were lucky enough to catch up with Marco and Dave for a chat, which is today's Podcast Of The Day.

Last Friday, Death Pop Radio digitally released their self-titled debut album via Dark Star Records, and with CDs also available on Friday 21st May, their track, 'Flatliners', is today's Video Of The Day. DPR began their journey back in late 2017 as a song, not a band - a fun collaboration that quickly blossomed into a full-blown Hard-Pop-Grunge melting pot of backstories and musical experience. With their raw and driving rhythms and sing-along style hooks, DPR's sound sits comfortably somewhere between Kings X and White Zombie. Add in a sprinkle of Industrial sound design and this blackbird soars. The response has been nothing short of overwhelming... Is it the death of Pop? No, it’s just Death Pop Radio!

On today's latest Simply Country Podcast Of The Day, there's music from Katrina Burgoyne, Larissa Uebergang, Tammy Moxon, Neilson Hubbard, Helen Townsend, Sue Ray, Jesse Terry, Brandon McPhee, Aly Cook, Reya Jayne, Chris Lane, Tyler Dean McDowell, DBK Country Radio, Hayley McKay (pictured), Victoria Eman, Chris Short, Fergal Flaherty, Adria Jill Hyde, Piper Butcher, Toni West, Lee Matthews, Natalie Henry, Needle & Salt, Littlemen, Andy McGarvie, Dave Sheriff, Olivia Douglas, Gary Mangan, Norman Borland and Shelley Lynch.

Yesterday, Nashville based Rock duo Save The World released their new album, ‘Two’, on Frontiers Music Srl, with the label also reissuing the band's debut effort, ‘One’, of which the former's, 'Defenders Of The Faith', is one of today's six of the best 'May Frontiers' Tracks Of The Day, complemented by five further new Frontiers releases also out yesterday, from False Memories, Mark Spiro, Tommy's Rocktrip, Robin McAuley and Sonic Haven.

Last year saw the release of Richard Townend & The Mighty Bosscats' 'Ticket to Memphis' and 'Live in Moscow', and on Thursday 30th September, Live At The Camden Chapel, a small, intimate, brand-new venue on the top floor of the London Irish CentreNW1 9XB, they will be launching their new album, (working title) 'Parkland', of which the 'title' track is today's Video Of The Day. It's an unusual recording, since most of it has been done remotely, but the collaboration has been international, including Anton Ilyan a tremendously talented keyboard player and physicist from Russia, Dennis Nazarov, an awesome musician, both of whom played on 'Live in Moscow', plus Marcus Cliffe (Manfred Mann, Jimmy Nail , Mark Knopfler) guesting on keys, guitar and bass. Further good news is that RT&TMB will also be playing The Tring Blues Club at the David Evans Court Theatre on Thursday 3rd June. Indeed, both gigs are 100% Covid compliant, therefore capacity is reduced to accommodate this, so there are limited ticket sales, so make sure you book now!

Given his dad Billy Steinberg co-wrote some of the most influential hits of the last century, including 'Like A Virgin' and 'True Colors', it's no surprise that Only Child, aka Los Angeles artist, songwriter, and producer Ezra Steinberg, approaches music with a youthful fearlessness as he blends Pop universality, Hip-Hop sensibilities, alternative adventurousness and bilingual vocals, in his latest single, 'Lust, The Mind KIller', one of today's six of the best 'Friday Rocks!' Tracks Of The Day, complemented by five further new and forthcoming releases from The Gorstey Lea Street Choir, Grafting the Vine, Cradle of Haze, Nothing Sacred and Zoe.

Last month, Jonny Ong returned with his out-of-this-world sound to bring the first full length since his debut, 'Isolation', a lavishly produced record detailing the multifaceted ways in which a breakup can change your life, of which his latest release, 'The Ballad of J and J’, is today's Video Of The Day. Indeed, it's a clear reference to Ong’s love of the Beatles, painstakingly and carefully setting out the story blocks in an autobiographical flowchart of a relationship which went bad. Written in seclusion, there is always an air of mystery to Ong’s work in this album, something secretive that it seems we are privy to in his private rooms as - it feels - we watch him paint pictures for us in song form. Also, boasting tracks such as the exquisite ‘Fools’, as well as sumptuous collaborations with fellow Singaporean singer-songwriter, Inch - ‘Taking Silence’ and ‘Wishful Thinking’ - this album delivers delight for the senses.
