Swedish Post-Metal/Post-Rock outfit PG.Lost, who feature Mattias Bhatt, Martin Hjertstedt (ex-Ghost), Gustav Almberg (The Great Discord) and Kristian Karlsson (Cult of Luna), have recently shared today's Video Of The Day for ’Shelter’, taken from their latest album, 'Oscillate’, which was released last month via Pelagic Records. Founded in 2004 in Norrköping, the LP is packed to the gills with pure drama and catharsis, and it's their first effort since 2016’s much lauded 'Versus'. 'Oscillate' leans on an instrumental approach and while their keen understanding of tension/release may warrant comparison to the likes of MONO, Explosions in the Sky and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, the band is unafraid to move into exciting new directions. Indeed, it's sovereign in execution and mammoth in scope, with ten tracks of pure dramatic bombast and a massive step forward for the decades-old band. The four years away have been well worth it!

On today's Blues On The Radio Track Of The Day there's something from all three of the UK Independent Blues Broadcasters Association (IBBA) Picks Of The Month for December, namely Catfish, Tanya Piche Blues Band and The BluesBones. David Rotundo Band kicks off the show, then there's new releases from Troy Redfern (pictured), Epi K. Paradox, Ben Reel, Dave Ferra, Red Red, Voodoo Walters and Johnny Mastro and Mama's Boys.

Following on from their uplifting, Funk-Rock driven anthem, 'Rearrange', released in June, British Indie-Rock act, Tony Goff & The Broken Colours, pulled together friends Fred Folkes and Ana Mazuran to create today's accompanying dance-driven and rhythmically mesmerising Video Of The Day. Hailing from High Wycombe, the band, with its new line up, sound and direction, has well and truly exploded back onto the scene.

With just three categories to go now, today we turn our attention to 'Best Support' in our 2020 WRC Awards, namely Matt Pearce & The Mutiny (pictured), who we saw supporting Savoy Brown at The Beaverwood in Chislehurst in January, Rebecca Downes, who supported The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown, later that month at Nell's in London, Kris Barras who supported Beth Hart at London's Eventim Apollo Hammersmith at the beginning of February, and finally in March, Felix Rabin, who supported Samantha Fish at London's Islington Assembly Hall.

Seattle Punks, Dragged Under, will be supporting The Ghost Inside next year on the Metalcore titans incredible sold out comeback show on Saturday 3rd July at London's O2 Academy Brixton, before heading off on a run of solo UK shows calling through Leeds' Key Club, Birmingham's Asylum, Manchester's Star & Garter and London's Camden Assembly Rooms, before finishing at 2000 Trees Festival on Saturday 10th July. Tony Cappocchi (vocals), Ryan Bruce (guitar), Sean Rosario (guitar), Hans Hessburg (bass) and Kalen Anderson (drums), strike an elusive balance between thrashed-up Punk, pit-splitting Hardcore, Technical Metal and hooky alternative. The deluxe version of their debut album, 'The World Is In Your Way', was released last month on their new home of Mascot Records, and has already picked up support from BBC Radio1, Kerrang, Rock Sound, Distorted Sound, Alt Press, Loudwire and Guitar World.

French Synthwave icon Carpenter Brut has released a brand new single, ‘Fab Tool’, which is today's Track of The Day. Effortlessly combining futuristic Synth sounds with ritualistic undertones and a movie-like expansiveness, ‘Fab Tool’ displays Carpenter Brut at his anthemic, epic best. Thunderous drums and bellowing chants from American musician David Eugene Edwards echo with one another, building towards a colossal and electrifying conclusion. The accompanying video heightens the track's potency, detailing a journey through a dystopian wasteland full of strange creatures, forgotten landmarks and flashes of an unknown danger. Stay tuned for more to come from Carpenter Brut in 2021!

Today in our 2020 WRC Awards we focus on our nominees in the Best International category. Firstly we go back to early February and the Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith where we saw Beth Hart and then, later in February, when we caught the Goo Goo Dolls, again in London, at The Roundhouse in Camden. At the end of February we went along to London's original Ealing Club to see Jim Kahr (pictured), and finally in March, just before Lockdown, we took in Samantha Fish at London's Islington Assembly Hall (Video Of The Day).
