Jon Reynolds & The Aches have recently released today's kaleidoscopic lyric Video Of The Day for their brand new single, ‘Leather Jacket’, taken from the forthcoming debut EP, 'Petrichor', out on Friday 22nd January. ‘Leather Jacket’ is a potent Pop Rock track oozing with atmosphere and inescapable hooks reminiscent of a pairing between The War On Drugs and The Gaslight Anthem. The band first emerged in 2018 with two well-received singles ‘Undertow’ and ‘Tomorrow’s News’. Following their release and a period of reflection, Jon buried himself in the studio with engineer Owen Lewis (Willie Nelson, Snow Patrol, R.E.M) and drummer Matt Singler, to work on new material. This newfound clarity reverberates right through the new EP, which also features the previously released singles ‘Imogene’, ‘Come Now Spring’ and ‘Love Blind’.

Joseph Williams will release his new solo album, 'Denizen Tenant', next year on Friday 26th February, via The Players Club/Mascot Label Group, and ahead of this, he has released his second song from the album, and his self-produced Video Of The Day for 'Liberty Man'. Joseph's latest tune with David Paich, is also a reunion with his Toto bro’s Simon Phillips and Leland Sklar. Also featured are the incredible Mike Landau and of course Steve Lukather, who will also release his solo album simultaneously, with both artists making a significant contribution to the other’s masters. 'Denizen Tenant' features a dozen new recordings. Amongst these are a cover of The Beatles 'If I Fell', which Williams cites as the one specific song that taught him about the power of harmonies and vocal arrangements. On Peter Gabriel’s 'Don’t Give Up', a very special guest performance is featured in his daughter Hannah laying down a vocal track. Indeed, Joseph is the son of film composer John Williams and actress Barbera Ruick.

Today's 2020 WRC Best Radio Award nominee Blues On The Radio Track Of The Day is a bit special. Not only is it Richard Dunning's 300th Show, and the last one of 2020, but Rich also plays his 12 favourite releases of the year (pictured).

On the back of three recently released singles, 'King Creep' (Track Of The Day), 'Never Stop' and 'Beneath The Silence', Psych Rock outfit Kilfeather earlier this month released their new full-length album, 'Island of Forgotten Toys', on Riot Records (part of Golden Robot Global Entertainment Group). Performing with a power trio under his own name, Kilfeather is a known multi-instrumentalist but specialises in guitar, vocals, and songwriting, and has written and released over 30 records and counting since 2006. His music has been referred to as “Psych Garage Punk”, a sound that best describes a concoction of Garage Rock and Roll mixed with elements of Punk, Classic Metal and Pop music. Indeed, Island of Forgotten Toys is a 12-song powerhouse filled with every flavour of Rock and Roll, and his latest work explores many aspects of the genre while also mixing in a dash of Punk and Pop into the potion.

With just four days to vote now in our 2020 WRC Awards, today we turn our attention to the nominees in our Best Prog Performance. In January we caught both of Francis Dunnery's It Bites gigs at Wolverhampton's Slade Rooms and Manchester's Club Academy, whilst later that month we saw The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown (pictured) at Nell's in London. In early February we also took in Atomic Rooster at the 100 Club, and finally, towards the end of the month, and also in London, we attended Dream Theater's (Video Of The Day) Eventim Hammersmith Apollo gig.

The recently reunited Norwegian Hard Rockers Wig Wam are back next year with ‘Never Say Die’, due to be released on Friday 22nd January, of which 'Kilimanjaro' is today's Video Of The Day. It's their first album since 2012 and an exciting record that showcases all the elements that have helped the band forge their reputation: driving energy, unstoppable force and never ending fun! The most complete sounding effort yet by the quartet, its twelve fresh sounding songs still wear loud guitars on their sleeves while showcasing a more mature approach. The catchy hooklines and Melodic Hard Rock anthems they are renowned for are still very much in evidence, and, with three gifted songwriters in the camp, the album shines, tweaks and pounds just the way a full blooded Rock 'n' Roll record should. Wig Wam is back and ready to take its listeners on a wild ride.

Today's latest Blues On The Radio Track Of The Day is another fabulous hour of music including Dave Thomas, Errol Linton, Andy Lindquist, John P Taylor, Starlite Campbell Band, Dione Taylor, Paul Allan, Peter Karp, Emma Wilson, Victor Wainwright, Laura Green, When Rivers Meet, Marcus Lazarus and Wily Bo Walker (pictured). All you have to do is click play and turn it up!

"It’s fair to say that this young talented singer and songwriter has firmly cemented her growing reputation with this, her second album, a really fine collection of eleven songs recorded in Nashville, with her excellent band and a bunch of session musicians, including a horn section that provide a Muscle Shoals feel to several numbers, as well as closer to home in Wales. The overall feel of the album has an Americana tinged feel, both in the themes of many songs, reflecting no doubt the influence of the number of different co-writers for most songs, as well as the expansive, soulful and Bluesy musical landscape presented, definitely more Western than West Country for this Bristol born singer." That was part of our take on Elles Bailey's latest CD (see our Video Of The Day), and Elles has duly walked off with our 2019 WRC Best Reviewed CD award for 'Road I Call Home'. Watch out for our next 2019 WRC awards announcement tomorrow!
