Hailing from San Francisco, Hot Laundry's new single, and today's Track Of The Day, 'Shake', is a full throttle Rock 'n' Roll revolution via Die Laughing Records. Soulful lead singer Janette Lopez, rooted from Detroit, Michigan, brings her classic Motown style and her love for 1960's bad girl garage groups to the performance, that's also heavily influenced by MC5, The Stooges, 1970's east coast Punk Rock and Delta Blues. Also consisting of backup vocalists Ileath Bridges and Gena Serey, Grady Hord - guitar and keyboards, Casey Gallagher - bass and Mark Mortensen - drums, with lyrics reflecting hard work, hard times, love and dancing all night, Hot Laundry is Rock 'n' Roll for your soul.

Earlier this month Swedish Hard Rock act Eclipse released their first ever official live album, 'Viva La Victouria' (Track Of The Day), which was recorded in Gothenburg just before Christmas last year in support of their successful current studio album, ‘Paradigm’. Additional bonus materials include the studio track ‘Driving One Of Your Cars’ (a Lisa Miskovsky cover), an acoustic versions of 'The Downfall Of Eden' and ‘When The Winter Ends', as well as live tracks from the band's ‘Live from the Quarantine’ pay-per-view special recorded in Stockholm this April. This live album completes the promotion of the ‘Paradigm’ album and serves as a fitting document of an extremely successful yet simultaneously strange phase in the career of Eclipse given the restrictions posed by the ongoing pandemic.

Today's Video Of The Day is Friday's release of ‘World On Fire’, Jack J Hutchinson's first single from his next studio album, 'The Hammer Falls'. It's a four-minute slab of Hard Rock that mixes a brutal Sabbath-esque opening riff with a sing along chorus perfectly built for packed venues. The middle 8 takes the track in an unexpected direction, with hints of Floyd, before the band come crashing back in for the finale. The track was recorded in Brazil at the renowned Estúdio Versão Acústica and produced by Lucas Sagaz, who also mixed Hutchinson’s recent live album ‘Who Feeds The Lockdown?’. It was co-written with his band mates Lazarus Michaelides (bass) and Felipe Amorim (drums). The band are currently working on the new album at Momentum Studios in Devon, where Kris Barras Band recorded their last two albums.

On Friday 4th December, BMG digitally release Slade’s 'Crackers', the ultimate Christmas party album, to put everyone in the festive spirit.

Proving the affection for one of the most exciting bands to ever come out of Great Britain, Slade’s 'Crackers' is the most joyously raucous, loud and singalong release you will hear this Christmas.

"‘Hey Sicko’ is the new album from Noush Skaugen, with her smoky vocals and occasional low rasps, she has delivered an album soaked in Americana. You could close your eyes and quite easily be sat in a small town diner somewhere in the mid-west with ‘Hey Sicko’ playing on the Jukebox. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the album was recorded in Los Angeles with musicians hailing from Nashville, Tennessee - Stanton Edward on guitar and bass with Jon Radford on drums. Noush herself was born in Sweden to a Swedish mother and Iranian father, although she was brought up in London, going on to read Law at Warwick University.” Today read the fourth of our Lockdown #2 album reviews, as this time Chris Bourlet gives you his take here on Noush Skaugen's latest CD, 'Hey Sicko', that is due out next Friday 20th November and includes today's Video Of The Day, 'Starts When It's Over'.

BraveWords’ new live streaming experience, Streaming For Vengeance, continues here today with two shows featuring Signal 13 and LeRoi XIII, both broadcasting live at 3.33pm ET/8.33pm UK and 4.15pm ET/9.15pm UK respectively. In September, Signal 13 won Best Band in Baltimore Magazine's annual 2020 Best Of Baltimore Readers' Poll, while the group’s songs and videos have exceeded 1.4 million views and streams on all platforms. Fronted by the sassy Vicky Starr, the band bleeds the Blues and recently released their 'Destination Unknown' EP. The newly-formed LeRoi XIII (Thirteen), and comprised of singer Terry LeRoi (Granny 4 Barrel), guitarists Troy McLawhorn (Evanescence) and Sammy Boller, bassist Aaron Pauley (Of Mice and Men), and drummer Will Hunt (Evanescence), have recreated the legendary Dio song, 'Stand Up and Shout', with 100% of the proceeds/profits going to the Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund.

Today's Track Of The Day is the new video, 'Vampires', taken off of I Am Korny's latest album, 'Sleep Ain’t Paying My Dues'. The phantoms and the dreamers, the heroes, and the villains, the brave and the desperate all find their home in a song that intoxicates with a sluggish Waltz and Southern Gothic pastiche. This is the music of an outlaw perceiving his otherness not as a burden but a crown. Thus, every maverick since the dawn of Rock ’n’ Roll is walking by his side. Just like Nick Cave, like the Black Keys or Alberta Cross, I Am Korny is distilling the American dream and the American nightmare, the promises of the west, and the myth of that endless land into murder ballads about the underbelly of love.

On Friday 4th December, the Eyes Of Tomorrow story continues when the Hardcore outfit release their new full-length album, 'Settle For More', thru Dedication Records (vinyl) and Swell Creek Records (CD & Digipack). Indeed, the Ruhrpott squad, consisting of Chris (bass), Adam (drums), Dom (guitar) and Mirko (vocals), are named after the same-titled song of Oldschool Hardcore veterans Cro-Mags. In 2016, the band released their DIY demo tape, which was out of print in a hurry, and in 2018 Ryker vocalist Dennis, not only took the guys under his Ready To Fight label wing to rerelease the four-track-EP, 'Gone For Good', but also contributed a few guest vocals as well!

oday's latest Blues Club Podcast Track Of The Day is another two hours of non stop Best in Blues and beyond with More Music and Less Chat, including new releases, classic tracks and UK IBBA Presenters' Picks, featuring music from Catfish, King King (pictured), Storm Warning, Muddy Waters, Mike Ross, Jon Cleary, Malaya Blue, Shaun Murphy, Tanya Piche Blues Band, Alastair Greene, Jack J Hutchinson, Laura Rain & The Caesars, Jimmy Johnson, Shemekia Copeland, Dr Feelgood, David Rotundo Band, Carole King, Miss Bix & Keeshea Pratt, Howlin Wolf, Billy J, Donald Fagen, Peter Parcek, Johnny Iguana and many more.

Today's gritty Video Of The Day is the new single, 'Burned Alive', from Canada’s Death Country Outfit Johnny Nocash and The Celtic Outlaws, a Heavy Hard Rock song with some dusty western elements scattered throughout the leads. Consisting of Memphis Raines - lead guitar, Johnny Nocash – vocals/ guitar, Cory Hofing - drums and LC Jay – bass, they are a one of a kind band that fuses Country and Rock, sodden with whisky and beer to create an organic, original sound that will appeal to a broad range of listeners. The video is a straightforward look at who the band is, that embodies their primal Death Country sound while knocking back a few drinks to loosen up the ol’ neck collar. Indeed, until 2016, Johnny had originally started out as an emotionally driven acoustic Punk solo artist, but then decided it was time to expand the band and open up to adding musicians to his arsenal!

Again we're playing catch up with today's latest Track Of The Day, as you can listen to the twelth Rock Vault 107 show featuring Iron Maiden, Crazy Elephant, Jefferson Airplane, Thin Lizzy (pictured) and more. Indeed, you can also listen live to Jules and Bob tomorrow night and 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.

"Unless you’re a fan, it must be bemusing to observe Joe Bonamassa’s career with a disinterested eye, the constant releasing of new albums must make them blur into a kaleidoscope, hard to distinguish between. His industry is admirable. The (v corny) punning ‘Royal Tea’ is the third release this year behind the revamped ‘A New Day Yesterday’ and the fabulous instrumental project under the banner of the Sleep Eazys. The big question for the casual listener is “does this constant output result in a dilution of quality?” The answer is no!” Today read the third of our Lockdown #2 album reviews, as this time Simon Green gives you his take here on Joe Bonamassa's latest CD, 'Royal Tea', that was released towards the end of last month and includes today's Video Of The Day, 'Lookout Man!'.
