Tonight at 8pm here you can watch 'Live At Berekely Studios Glasgow', a brand new full length King Kingperformance featuring the bands new line-up including Stevie Nimmo. Indeed, it's been almost a year since the band performed live, and not only will it be delivered to you digitally tonight, but once received, the concert download is yours to keep forever!

Hi everyone, just a heads up that we have taken the opportunity during lockdown to commission the building of a new website, given our current site is now five years old. Indeed, the existing website had done us proud, however we now need not only something new/fresh, but also something that is faster and easier to navigate. All very exciting, but more about that over the coming months. Despite work on the new website, during September we not only continued with our lockdown CD reviews, namely Rory Gallagher and Crosby Pevar Raymond, but believe it or not we also had a brand new Bad Touch gig photo gallery (pictured) plus a pre-lockdown Jake Vegas & The Black Diamonds gig review! Also watch out in October for our Nigel Barker interview, plus some, time permitting, more CD reviews including King King, When Rivers Meet, Derek Sherinian, JD Simo, Twister, Mike Ross, Devin Townsend, Joe Payne, Connor Bracken and The Mother Leeds Band, ED Brayshaw, Kirk Fletcher, South Of Salem, Pain Of Salvation, The Flower Kings, The Allman Betts Band, Robert Jon & The Wreck, Samantha Martin & Delta Sugar, Kyle Daniel and Joe Satriani. Indeed if you are still kicking your gig heels and you fancy doing a CD review of one of the albums above, or just contributing something of musical interest, then don't be shy, just e-mail us at wrinklyrockers11@aol.com In the meantime, take care of each other and keep safe.

Today's Video Of The Day is Empyre's 'Only Way Out (Piano Acoustic)', a new darker, stripped back and more haunting version of the original track taken from their latest album, 'Self Aware'. Indeed, last November we had the pleasure of attending the band's 'Self Aware' album party gig held at London's Water Rats, with support from Jack J Hutchinson. Last year had been the band's most significant year so far, with the likes of Planet Rock and Classic Rock Magazine sitting up and paying attention to 'Self Aware', released earlier in July. In the meantime, Empyre are trying to get out as many tracks and videos online as they can, during Covid-19 times, for your watching and listening pleasure!

In August, multi-talented, pigeonhole-defying guitarmeister and multi-instrumentalist, Mike Ross released his sophomore single, and today's Track Of The Day, 'None Of Your Business', from his excellent new, genre-crossing 10-track solo album ‘The Clovis Limit Pt.2’, which itself is due out on Friday 30th October. Musically, this track feels very Lynyrd Skynyrd-like for its underlying hooks and riffs. There are also some surprises to be found, including a dreamy guitar interlude, as well as the driving, take-no-prisoners lead guitar and vocals that carry the track and gives it instant impact. Indeed, Mike’s trademark Heavy Blues electric guitar drives many of the tracks on the new album, as 'None Of Your Business' continues the roll-out of fresh material from a new album that’s remarkably strong on multiple fronts: a showcase for Mike’s songwriting and musicianship on multiple instruments.

Again we're playing catch up on today's Track Of The Day, as you can listen again to the third Rock Vault 107 show broadcast, including Ram Jam, Jefferson Airplane, The Who, ZZ Top (pictured) and more. Indeed, you can also listen live to Jules and Bob 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.

Singer-songwriter Juan Abella kick-started the comeback of his musical project, Vicious Rooster, last month, with the release of its latest single, 'The Moon Is Dancing', which today's Video Of The Day. Simultaneously, the track was presented live at Chicago's annual Ruido Fest Festival, sharing the virtual musical bill with Bandalos Chinos, Francisca Valenzuela and other great artists. Vicious Rooster combines elements of Classic Rock with tints of Southern Rock and a hint of Grunge, influenced by an elite palette of renown artists such as Led Zeppelin, The Black Crowes and Alice In Chains, among others, to create its soulful sound. After moving from his native Argentina, Juan moved to Los Angeles, where he released Vicious Rooster's debut album, 'The Darkest Light", in 2017.

Finnish Melodic Death Metallers Mors Principium Est are back via AFM Records on Friday 23rd October with their seventh album, the short and snappy entitled 'Seven', but no less impressive and epic than its predecessors. It's a perfect continuation from where they left off with 'Embers Of A Dying World' in 2017: Death Metal, which is almost Progressive in its brutality, combined with sophisticated orchestrations that, used sparingly, never drown in bombast, and fuse with dramatic, melancholic melodies. Next year, singer Ville Viljanen and British guitarist Andy Gillion will introduce MPE's ten brand new songs, when they join Wolfheart on an extensive European tour, together with a cast of top notch live musicians.

"As you listen through this collective, you can see why so many big name guitarists, from the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Brian May, Slash, Joe Bonamassa and Johnny Marr, credit Rory as their hero. Rory regularly switched styles from Blues to mainstream Rock mixing in Celtic riffing and sometimes stretching to the more Hard Rock drive you find in ‘Moonchild’. The stand out tracks for me are the epic ‘Ghost Blues’ (7 minutes 59 seconds), building from an acoustic base, the grooving ‘Bought and Sold’ and the vocal rich ‘Philby’.” Today read another one of our great Lockdown album reviews, as Geoff C. gives you his take here on 'The Best Of Rory Gallagher', that's due to be released on Friday 9th October, of which 'Walk On Hot Coals' is today's Video Of The Day.

Following the announcement last year that NWOBHM drumming legend Thunderstick planned to reform his eponymously named band, he has now confirmed the final addition to the line-up, guitarist, Steve Mantra. Also complementing Raven Blackwing – vocals, Rex Thunderbolt – bass and Vinny Konrad – guitar, Mantra, who first started playing guitar at the age of 15, has always had a love for Rock and Metal, and this is evident in the Academy of Contemporary Music graduate's playing style and ability. Currently the band are using Lockdown to work on new ideas, perfect their stage act and are also busy recording a much anticipated album which will be released through Roulette Records mid-2021.

Today's latest Blues On The Radio Track Of The Day sees another hour of music fly by with contributions from Samantha Martin & Delta Sugar, Jim Kirkpatrick, Sandra Bouza, Nigel Barker, TBelly (pictured), Kirk Fletcher, Elvin Bishop & Charlie Musselwhite, Sam Barlow, Jack Blackman, Anthony Gomes, Bobby Rush, Kim Wilson, John Németh and Trevor Babajack Steger.

Last Friday, Welsh Hard-Rockers Eulogy released today's brand new Video Of The Day, ‘Cross To Bare’, via One Eyed Toad Records, which is taken from their recent EP ‘Memento Mori’. The video itself - featuring the band members performing in front of a fiery backdrop - is home-shot: a testament to the band’s personal hard work and DIY ethic even during the Coronavirus pandemic. Recorded at Coda Recording Studios and mixed and mastered by Neil Garland; ‘Cross To Bare’ showcases the band’s Melodic Hard Rock sound. The powerful vocals of lead singer and bassist Neil Thomas take centre stage; backed by equally powerful lyrics - the track depicts the feelings of losing someone close, and ultimately dealing with that loss.
