With hopeful eyes focused on the future, Blues Rock singer/songwriter Sari Schorr has announced 2021 European dates starting in March, following the postponement of her headline tour this year. Despite being grounded in New York because of Covid-19, Sari has still made the time, not only to make a haunting video, set to her 2016 track ‘Ordinary Life’, using her iPhone, showing striking scenes of the city in social isolation and lockdown, but also more recently, she has made a brand-new, and very topical video, ‘The New Revolution’, which has indeed resonated with a lot of people.

Modern Rock 3-piece Firekind self-release ‘What I Have Found Is Already Lost’ Deluxe Edition on Friday 30th October, of which their second single, ‘Sound of Rain’, is today's Video of The Day. Fusing epic, soaring vocal and guitar melodies with driving, powerful drums and bass, the Devon based band consists of brothers Jas Morris (vocals and previous Guitarist Magazine Guitarist of the Year winner), Dan Morris (bass, keys) and Robin Shute (drums), although original drummer and close friend of the band, Dan Collings played on the album. With Hard Rock and Prog roots spiced with an arena sound blent in, it’s hard to pigeon hole them which bodes to a myriad of Rock tastes. This is a theme throughout, augmented by the acoustic bonus tracks which were recorded and produced by Jas and Dan in their home studio during the Covid-19 lockdown.

British husband and wife Blues Rock duo When Rivers Meet release their self-penned debut album ‘We Fly Free’ on Friday 20th November, with their first single, 'Battleground', which will be released on Friday 9th October, and follows Grace and Aaron Bond's critically acclaimed EP’s ‘The Uprising’ and ‘Innocence of Youth’. Their passion for Blues Rock shows through with an underpinning of traditional Blues and Classic Rock. Indeed, the duo have made a concerted effort to keep to a genuine, gritty sound using authentic techniques, including tube tape echo and reverb chambers, which have created a live sound that keeps a truly vintage vibe that not only has energy but is also a true representation of the ever evolving sound this duo produces.

The album was recorded live last November at the world-famous Baked Potato Jazz Club in Los Angeles with his Liquid Quartet line-up of drummer Abe Laboriel Jr (Paul McCartney), bassist Jimmy Johnson (Allan Holdsworth) and on guitar and vocals, David Frazee (Burning Water). The set list features outings of some brand new songs, renditions from his back-catalogue plus his previous studio album 'Rock Bottom', and Renegade Creation, the band he formed with Robben Ford, as well as two instrumentals to finish the night.

Truly a song of our times, the track 'Overthinker' has a Bluesy feel that is carried off to perfection by Georgia and her Retro-Pop band, The Vintage Youth, which is due to be released on Friday 24th September. Calling to mind the great Pop traditions of 60's girl bands, as well as legends such as Amy Winehouse, Janis Joplin and Marc Bolan, Georgia & The Vintage Youth are crafting clever, thoughtful and fun tunes to fit any era. 'Overthinker' is no different, taking the universal themes of the uncertainty and dissatisfaction found in your twenties, and turning it into a catchy party tune with an unmistakable youthful energy and a fresh sound. Indeed, this forthcoming release sees the band taking their next step in their journey, not only melding lyrics with timeless musical ideas, but also sounding completely unique, yet with undeniably widespread appeal at the same time.

Kentucky-born, now Nashville-based, Kyle Daniel, has released two new tracks, ‘This American Dream' and ‘Hollerin’ Hills’, accompanied by a powerful, heartfelt Video Of The Day. Kyle has been hailed as a rising talent in the world of Country and Americana, and flagged up as one of the best upcoming artists in the scenes, although his range, appeal and fan following certainly reach beyond those boundaries into Rock, Country Rock and Southern Rock territories. Kyle returned to these shores in March this year, as part of his contribution to C2C's European festivals, and we indeed had the pleasure of interviewing him here. However, after playing the C2C gigs in Berlin and Amsterdam, Kyle had to fly back to the USA early, as the O2 Arena London leg was cancelled because of Covid-19.

The Enigma Experience release their debut album, 'Question Mark', on Friday 13th November via Fuzzorama Records, and the band have also unveiled their brand-new single, ‘Lonewolf’, which is today's Track Of The Day. The track opens with a Funky and Psychedelically charged Primus-esque melody before dropping into a driving groove amid crunching riffs with soaring vocal melodies. The band sees Sweden and Norway joins forces, as Truckfighters guitarist Niklas 'Mr.Dango' Källgren has teamed up with ex-Truckfighters/Witchcraft drummer Oskar 'Pezo' Johansson and Maurice Adams from Breed/Motorfinger on vocals. 'Question Mark' is a very diverse Rock record, ranging from vocal harmonies reminiscent of early 90's grunge heroes such as Soundgarden and Alice In Chains, to a furiously catchy anthem with Kallgren’s trademark fuzz-fuelled sound piercing through.

Lunatic Soul, the solo studio music project of creator, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Mariusz Duda, release their new solo album 'Through Shaded Woods’ on Friday 13th November through Kscope. As the lead singer of the hugely popular Prog Rock band Riverside, Lunatic Soul was created in 2008 as an opportunity for Duda to explore musical territories outside the Rock domain. 'Through Shaded Woods' is not only album # 7 for Lunatic Soul, but it's also a new opening for Duda, as he extends his musical explorations to include dark Scandinavian and Slavic Folk, and it's definitely their most refined and richest sounding album, following on from the heavily electronic sound of previous albums 'Fractured' and 'Under the Fragmented Sky'. Indeed, 'Through Shaded Woods' is completely devoid of electronics and is the first album in Duda’s discography, on which he plays all instruments.

At the end of last month Evanescence launched the video for 'Use My Voice', their latest single that is not only today's Track Of The Day, but is also the third song to be released from The Bitter Truth, their forthcoming new album, which is the first to contain all-new material in nearly a decade. The band also tour Europe next year with Within Temptation, kicking off at Zurich's Hallenstadion on Wednesday 8th September, stopping off at London's The O2 on Monday 4th October.

With the release of their first two singles - 'Imago' and 'Mister Babadook' (today's Video Of The Day) - the excitement for the release of their upcoming second album 'Metamorphosis' on Friday 25th September, from Metal Rocka Recordings first signing, Ward XVI, is becoming rather intense! For the uninitiated, it's the eagerly awaited follow up to the critically acclaimed 2017 release 'The Art Of Manipulation’, from a superb Hard ’n’ Heavy band from the North-West of England, that expertly balance a perfect blend of Rock with the theatrical beauty and intensity of your favourite classic Metal bands. Indeed, Ward XVI have a stellar reputation as one of the UK's best live acts and their shows are a sensual and frightening treat for the eyes and ears!
