Multi-platinum, four-time Grammy-nominated Rock band Goo Goo Dolls have just released today's Video Of The Day for 'Autumn Leaves', the slow-burn track initially appearing on the band’s twelfth studio album 'Miracle Pill'. Also, on Friday 2nd October, the band will release, 'This Is Christmas', the first official single taken from their first-ever holiday record, 'It’s Christmas All Over', due to be released on Friday 30th October via Warner Records. Produced by frontman John Rzeznik alongside the band’s longtime collaborators Brad Fernquist and Jimmy McGorman, the record was created during lockdown. With the band currently in the studio working on another album of new material, they will also be hitting the road for an expansive North American tour in the Summer of 2021.

We're playing catch up on today's Track Of The Day as you can listen again to the very first Rock Vault show, which includes gems from Bad Company, Deep Purple, Whitesnake, Free 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.

Yes, the virus free puppets are back! Today's Video The Day heralds the release of another clever animated video of 'She's On Fire', the third track taken from Geoff Carne & The Raw Rox Band's ten-song collective, ‘Big Town’, originally released at the end of July. The video follows on from 'Hold On', with vocalist/guitarist Carne ably assisted by experienced session musicians, the Raw Rox Band, namely Jim Black – bass guitar, Zoki Jovanoski – drums, Bob Calvert – keyboards and Arby ‘Slash’ Rockman – lead guitar, thanks to Geoff’s producer Paul Mex.

European Blues Award winner Erja Lyytinen will release her ‘Lockdown Live 2020’ as a live album CD and DVD package on Friday 6th November. The album brilliantly captures a historic moment in time, as it was filmed and recorded during the Covid-19 pandemic, and is in advance of Erja’s February UK tour next year. Indeed, Lyytinen was in the middle of one of her busiest times of her career when the pandemic struck, and at the start of this year, Erja was riding the crest of a wave, given her touring and promotional activities were catalysed by a string of high-profile achievements during 2019. This live recording takes a retrospective look back on Lyytinen’s long and successful career, and with such a vast back catalogue behind her, Erja was quite literally ‘Torn’ (a track from her 2019 release, 'Another World'), in choosing the songs to feature in her setlist and this subsequent concert album.

On this week's Blues On The Radio Track Of The Day, Richard Dunning attempts to squeeze even more music into his show! It's all a bit frantic, but there are so many great albums that he we wants you to hear, including Eric Johanson, Samantha Martin & Delta Sugar, Mike Ross, Susan Santos (pictured), Jeffrey Halford and more.

Ayreon will be releasing a brand-new studio album ‘Transitus', this Friday 25th September via Music Theories Recordings, and prior to its release they have unveiled the fourth and final lyric (behind-the-scenes) video of 'Talk Of The Town', which is today's Video Of The Day. It's most possibly the most Ayreon-ish track on the album, although 'Transitus' is built around an entirely new story, not connected to the Ayreon universe, although as always it does have some subtle links. The Sci-Fi theme makes way for a Gothic ghost story set (partly) in the 19th century with elements of horror and the supernatural. As with any Ayreon album, it is an explosive and expansive affair and features one of the most iconic and recognisable voices in Sci-Fi history, most known from his eight-year stint as Doctor Who, Tom Baker.

Despite these difficult times, last month saw Walkway play a couple of extremely successful and popular outdoor shows, and the four-piece Rock band from Diss have now confirmed that on Saturday 3rd October they will be appearing live on the outside stage at the Sizewell Sports & Social Club, King Georges Avenue, Leiston IP16 4JX, from 3pm to 6pm. It's free entry with all social distancing and Covid-19 measures in place, although the venue has recommended advance bookings by phoning 01728 830025.

Today's Video Of The Day is Fish's brand new single, ‘This Party’s Over’, the latest song to be taken from his highly anticipated final studio release, the solo double album, 'Weltschmerz', which will be released this Friday 25th September. ‘This Party’s Over’ is an honest and reflective song from Fish, which as he explains was inspired by, “when I started to become concerned about my drinking”. Having long been a renowned bon vivant, but in recent years changed his habits, the song mirrors this transformation with upbeat Folk-infused Rock focusing on the positives of change. The captivating video finds Fish performing the song, wine glass in hand, as animations come to life around him reflecting the lyrics of the track. It is an extraordinary piece of work that brings down the curtain on the Scotsman’s hugely successful musical career.

Last weekend, iconic former Ozzy Osbourne and Uriah Heep drummer Lee Kerslake passed away from cancer at the age of 73. The Osbournes recently agreed to grant Kerslake his dying wish of receiving his platinum albums, after being contacted by Metal Hall of Fame President/CEO Pat Gesualdo. Gesualdo informed the Osbournes that Kerslake had terminal cancer, and that he wanted to help mend the legendary three decade old, ongoing, headline grabbing feud, which was levied over financial payments and song royalties between the Osbournes and Kerslake. After conversations and much strategising, the Osbournes and Gesualdo arranged to have the Platinum record awards presented as a surprise to Kerslake for his Induction into the Metal Hall of Fame, at the Annual Metal Hall of Fame Celebrity Gala. Kerslake had been working on a solo album entitled 'Eleventeen'. A much anticipated documentary on Lee featuring Kiss, Uriah Heep, Ozzy Osbourne band members and other rockstars has been in production by film maker Tayla Goodman, and is waiting to be finalised.

All too relevant for those of us struggling through the pandemic and adjusting to lockdown, President Street made a triumphant return in June with today's Track Of The Day, ‘Something to Believe’, which tells the inspirational tale of overcoming adversity and pain, and looking towards a future where you can rely unwaveringly on yourself. Born from Pete Moses’ discovery of his passion for music production, in partnership with vocalist and songwriter Ruby, ‘Something to Believe’ begins with Ruby’s characteristically honey-sweet vocal in an acapella introduction which immediately sets the tone and introduces the hook of the song. The production is slick, as it kickstarts the rest of the song, with trip-hop inspired rhythms which support and solidify the intimate and personal delivery of Ruby’s lyrics. The result is that of a wholly confident artist, with a song that screams triumphant independence from every aspect of its assured and assertive sound.

Grunge rockers Superfecta released their first new track in two years via their music platform Aurovine last Friday, and today's Video Of The Day, 'Breathe In', was written by lead singer Rob Negrini, and is the first part of a trilogy of recordings for the London band. New bassist Joe Head is introduced for the first time, as 'Breathe In' marks a turn in direction to a more aggressive, darker sound, that sees no holding back with the opening riff, and an edgy and potent threat of distorted guitar. Each passage builds in tempo and intensity with similarities to Alice In Chains during their 'Dirt' era. Matt Vella pounds the drums throughout each chord struck like an army general, as Negrini croons over solid basslines, delivering vocals full of emotion and sincerity. Head brings a new dynamic to their sound, as evidence in the intro, and later on in the instrumental break. The song writing is more polished, as Head’s vibrant bass work allows Danun Todd freedom to fire up a tantalising solo that evokes images of Tony Iommi in his heyday! Superfecta are back hungrier, darker, and with an appetite for more heavier music.
