With socially distanced gigs gradually rearing their new normal heads again, such as Warmduscher at Hackney's Earth on Saturday night (pictured), today's Video Of The Day is the Dave Sinclair Four performing 'Apropos Blues' at St. Harmonica's Blues Club in London's Southgate, back in October. Consisting of David Sinclair - vocals/guitar, Geoff Peel - guitar, Jos Wolfman Mendoza - bass, Rory Mendoza - drums and Laurie Garman - harmonica, this was the first public performance of 'Apropos Blues', a song written during the first UK lockdown, and performed just ahead of the second lockdown.

"The album ends with a lovely instrumental called ‘Twilight’, that has the melody carried along by picked chords over which E D plays some excellent Bluesy solos. The bass is again excellent. This is a really fine collection. E D doesn’t quite have the same connotation as EC but is well worth checking out all the same. These are the sort of songs and style of guitar playing that puts a smile on the face!" Today, read one of our last album reviews before the launch of our new website, as Simon Green gives you his take here: https://www.wrinklyrockersclub.com/cd-reviews-july on E D Brayshaw's latest CD, 'Fire Without Water', that was released earlier this year, including today'sTrack Of The Day of 'Hear The Rain'.

For fans of Faith No More, Deftones, Avenged Sevenfold, Breaking Benjamin and Volbeat, Feed After Midnite hails from Ottawa and thanks to recent, pandemic-granted free time, they have recently released their energetic, upbeat first single, 'Out of Time', which is today's Track Of The Day. Consisting of Dylan DeRepentigny (bass), Sean Bolster (drums), Yvon Gauthier (vocals), Denis Bastien (guitar) and Marc Bastien (guitar), those who enjoy many facets of Hard Rock and Metal will appreciate this Canadian band, which was formed in 2018, that takes a large amount of inspiration from horror movies, current events and childhood memories. Indeed, when they first started out they had a predominantly Hard Rock sound which evolved into heavier stylings but at the same time, remaining catchy and simple.

Last Friday, Puscifer released their critically-acclaimed new album, 'Existential Reckoning' (Alchemy Recordings/Puscifer Entertainment/BMG) on physical formats (vinyl/CD/cassette), accompanied by today's Video Of The Day of 'Bedlamite'. Born somewhere in the Arizona desert, they're an Electro-Rock band, multimedia experience, traveling circus and alien abduction survivors! Renowned for an immersive live show, the group’s performances blur the lines between concert and theatre. Indeed, the clip features performance footage from the band’s recent record-breaking livestream event, 'Existential Reckoning: Live at Arcosanti', which found Puscifer in the heart of the Arizona dessert, surrounded by the uniquely “utopian metropolis” that Architectural Digest described as looking like “the sublime set of a big-budget sci-fi movie.”

In September, Swedish band Diamonds and Guns released their latest/third single, and today's Video Of The Day, 'The Lonesome Man', a kind of a dark story, pirate-party-Punk Rock song with an Irish tone. The Stockholm based band is relatively new, originally forming just two years ago in September, with the band's name a tribute to America's West Coast Punk Rock, with the feel of such bands as Social Distortion, Dropkick Murphy and Turbonegro. Indeed, the band, consisting of Kim Johansson bass, Pontus Åberg, lead guitar + vocals, Victor Ekvall, guitar + lead vocals, and new, former Collussus drummer, Thomas Norstedt, perform Punk 'n' Roll with straight pipes, a cocky attitude and technical drums, all with a party feeling, plus a love of the Blues thrown in to the mix too!
