All dates will feature special guest Mason Hill and all tickets remain valid.The highly anticipated tour will preview new songs from the band’s forthcoming studio album 'Let’s Hear It For The King' whose release will coincide with the UK tour.

However, as they say, the rest is history and our nominees in unprecedented times are Devin Townsend's NHS fundraiser (Video Of The Day), both the Lockdown and Isolation (pictured) Music Festival's that did us so proud earlier this year, and finally, not forgetting, The Tuesday Music Club's excellent Zoom sessions.

Next year on Friday 5th March, The Wood Brothers (Video Of The Day) will release a double-LP vinyl reissue of their modern classic, 'The Muse', through the band's own Honey Jar Records. Originally issued on 1st October 2013 via Zac Brown's Southern Ground label, the 11-track collection was produced by Nashville music legend Buddy Miller and contains many of The Wood Brothers most celebrated songs that remain staples of their live performances to this day, including 'Wastin' My Mind', 'Sing About It', 'Neon Tombstone', 'Keep Me Around' and 'I Got Loaded'. An initial vinyl pressing of ‘The Muse’ sold out years ago and has been in high demand by The Wood Brothers' fanbase ever since. To celebrate the reissue, the band has filmed a performance of the album in its entirety, which will premiere on Friday 18th December on their YouTube channel.

Gabriel Quazar, who now splits his time between Verona, Los Angeles and Zanzibar, has just released his new crossover single, ‘Xstasy’, on all digital platforms. The Italian is a thinker, a songwriter, a singer and a passionate guitarist at heart, with an eclectic and completely original take on Rock, Alternative and modern Pop music. His alternative and avant-gardish rocking soundscape also enjoys imports from ethnical musical traditions, as much as Jazz and even Hip-Hop. His own man, his own manager, he has also appreciated the collaborations of the many who believe in him, working in Europe and Los Angeles with the well renowned producer/musician Fabrizio Grossi (Steve Vai, Ice T, Glenn Hughes, Steve Lukather, et al).

"For the encore we were treated to the vivacious and tumultuous maelstrom that is 'Tragic Catastrophe', an exuberant and melodramatic song from Purson's excellent 2013 debut album 'The Circle & The Blue Door'. A multifaceted panoramic Psychedelic musical cabaret trip to a mythical and magical world full of juxtaposing twists and turns! Indeed, a fantastic conclusion to a brilliant set of quality tunes and first-rate musicianship." That was part of our take when we last saw Rosalie Cunningham at London's Lexington in August last year, and believe it or not, as we exit Lockdown and London enters tier 2, Rosalie plays the first of two sold out socially distanced gigs at The New Cross Inn tonight, supported by The Higher Planes and Gianni Scalera.

Released last month from aliensdontringdoorbells' wildly successful debut album, 'Arrival', today's Track Of The Day, ‘Daylight’, is a Soft-Rock number, dedicated to the giddy feeling of love when you just can’t get enough of your significant other. The song is tender and emotional, with a heart of Rock ‘n’ Roll in the clever instrumentation and arrangement of this fantastic band. When it comes to music, the band cites One Republic, Maroon 5 and Weezer amongst their influences, with their sound an amalgamation of Pop, Rock, Jazz, Prog and Swing. Nowhere is this melting pot of influences more apparent, or more successful, than on ‘Daylight’. The lyrics are truly relatable, accompanying a musical landscape painted with a brush which, although wouldn’t sound out of place for the Rock charts of the 70's, paints a picture of sound that is moving and relevant now.

The first category to be showcased in our 2020 WRC awards is Best Rock Performance. First up is Supersuckers who we saw at at London's 100 Club in February, kicking off a seven-date UK headline tour, and secondly, Myke Gray (pictured) at London's Underworld in late February - the first tour that Myke had ever done under his own name. Finally, the last two nominees, again at the back end of February, are Molly Karloff at their 'Supernaturalation' EP Launch Party at Camden's Black Heart, and Vex Red (Video Of The Day), at Islington's O2 Academy, performing their first collection of new music since 2002!
