Proving the affection for one of the most exciting bands to ever come out of Great Britain, Slade’s 'Crackers' is the most joyously raucous, loud and singalong release you will hear this Christmas.

"‘Hey Sicko’ is the new album from Noush Skaugen, with her smoky vocals and occasional low rasps, she has delivered an album soaked in Americana. You could close your eyes and quite easily be sat in a small town diner somewhere in the mid-west with ‘Hey Sicko’ playing on the Jukebox. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the album was recorded in Los Angeles with musicians hailing from Nashville, Tennessee - Stanton Edward on guitar and bass with Jon Radford on drums. Noush herself was born in Sweden to a Swedish mother and Iranian father, although she was brought up in London, going on to read Law at Warwick University.” Today read the fourth of our Lockdown #2 album reviews, as this time Chris Bourlet gives you his take here on Noush Skaugen's latest CD, 'Hey Sicko', that is due out next Friday 20th November and includes today's Video Of The Day, 'Starts When It's Over'.

BraveWords’ new live streaming experience, Streaming For Vengeance, continues here today with two shows featuring Signal 13 and LeRoi XIII, both broadcasting live at 3.33pm ET/8.33pm UK and 4.15pm ET/9.15pm UK respectively. In September, Signal 13 won Best Band in Baltimore Magazine's annual 2020 Best Of Baltimore Readers' Poll, while the group’s songs and videos have exceeded 1.4 million views and streams on all platforms. Fronted by the sassy Vicky Starr, the band bleeds the Blues and recently released their 'Destination Unknown' EP. The newly-formed LeRoi XIII (Thirteen), and comprised of singer Terry LeRoi (Granny 4 Barrel), guitarists Troy McLawhorn (Evanescence) and Sammy Boller, bassist Aaron Pauley (Of Mice and Men), and drummer Will Hunt (Evanescence), have recreated the legendary Dio song, 'Stand Up and Shout', with 100% of the proceeds/profits going to the Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund.

Today's Track Of The Day is the new video, 'Vampires', taken off of I Am Korny's latest album, 'Sleep Ain’t Paying My Dues'. The phantoms and the dreamers, the heroes, and the villains, the brave and the desperate all find their home in a song that intoxicates with a sluggish Waltz and Southern Gothic pastiche. This is the music of an outlaw perceiving his otherness not as a burden but a crown. Thus, every maverick since the dawn of Rock ’n’ Roll is walking by his side. Just like Nick Cave, like the Black Keys or Alberta Cross, I Am Korny is distilling the American dream and the American nightmare, the promises of the west, and the myth of that endless land into murder ballads about the underbelly of love.

On Friday 4th December, the Eyes Of Tomorrow story continues when the Hardcore outfit release their new full-length album, 'Settle For More', thru Dedication Records (vinyl) and Swell Creek Records (CD & Digipack). Indeed, the Ruhrpott squad, consisting of Chris (bass), Adam (drums), Dom (guitar) and Mirko (vocals), are named after the same-titled song of Oldschool Hardcore veterans Cro-Mags. In 2016, the band released their DIY demo tape, which was out of print in a hurry, and in 2018 Ryker vocalist Dennis, not only took the guys under his Ready To Fight label wing to rerelease the four-track-EP, 'Gone For Good', but also contributed a few guest vocals as well!

oday's latest Blues Club Podcast Track Of The Day is another two hours of non stop Best in Blues and beyond with More Music and Less Chat, including new releases, classic tracks and UK IBBA Presenters' Picks, featuring music from Catfish, King King (pictured), Storm Warning, Muddy Waters, Mike Ross, Jon Cleary, Malaya Blue, Shaun Murphy, Tanya Piche Blues Band, Alastair Greene, Jack J Hutchinson, Laura Rain & The Caesars, Jimmy Johnson, Shemekia Copeland, Dr Feelgood, David Rotundo Band, Carole King, Miss Bix & Keeshea Pratt, Howlin Wolf, Billy J, Donald Fagen, Peter Parcek, Johnny Iguana and many more.

Today's gritty Video Of The Day is the new single, 'Burned Alive', from Canada’s Death Country Outfit Johnny Nocash and The Celtic Outlaws, a Heavy Hard Rock song with some dusty western elements scattered throughout the leads. Consisting of Memphis Raines - lead guitar, Johnny Nocash – vocals/ guitar, Cory Hofing - drums and LC Jay – bass, they are a one of a kind band that fuses Country and Rock, sodden with whisky and beer to create an organic, original sound that will appeal to a broad range of listeners. The video is a straightforward look at who the band is, that embodies their primal Death Country sound while knocking back a few drinks to loosen up the ol’ neck collar. Indeed, until 2016, Johnny had originally started out as an emotionally driven acoustic Punk solo artist, but then decided it was time to expand the band and open up to adding musicians to his arsenal!

Again we're playing catch up with today's latest Track Of The Day, as you can listen to the twelth Rock Vault 107 show featuring Iron Maiden, Crazy Elephant, Jefferson Airplane, Thin Lizzy (pictured) and more. Indeed, you can also listen live to Jules and Bob tomorrow night and every Friday night at 8pm on 107 Meridian FM. Taking you back in time, they'll bring you tracks that you may know and some you may not, plus they always feature a special year.

"Unless you’re a fan, it must be bemusing to observe Joe Bonamassa’s career with a disinterested eye, the constant releasing of new albums must make them blur into a kaleidoscope, hard to distinguish between. His industry is admirable. The (v corny) punning ‘Royal Tea’ is the third release this year behind the revamped ‘A New Day Yesterday’ and the fabulous instrumental project under the banner of the Sleep Eazys. The big question for the casual listener is “does this constant output result in a dilution of quality?” The answer is no!” Today read the third of our Lockdown #2 album reviews, as this time Simon Green gives you his take here on Joe Bonamassa's latest CD, 'Royal Tea', that was released towards the end of last month and includes today's Video Of The Day, 'Lookout Man!'.

With Power Metal at it's best, guitar solos right on the spot, perfect hooks, catchy choirs and the extraordinary raspy voice of guitarist Piet Sielck, Iron Savior deliver yet another classic to their discography, with 'Skycrest', due to be released on Friday 4th December. Following in the classic, infectious, Heavy Metal footseps of ten studio albums plus one live CD/DVD, which includes their highly acclaimed self-titled debut, 'Condition Red' and 'The Landing', 'Skycrest' has got what it takes to become another Heavy and Melodic sound milestone in the Hamburg-based band's history.

The Quireboyshave re-scheduled the remaining tour dates for their A Bit Of What You Fancy UK Tour to October - November 2021 and January 2022.
