BraveWords’ new live concert experience, Streaming For Vengeance, continues with American Metal outfit Canedy broadcasting live here at The Rec Room at 3.33pm EST (8.33pm UK). About the live stream Carl Canedy says: “When the 'Warrior' album was finally mixed and ready for release, I couldn't wait for the world to hear Canedy live. Unfortunately, Covid-19 had other plans and our live shows, sadly, were all cancelled. Now, with the help of BraveWords, the world can finally hear the band I'm proud to be a part of perform live."

Comedian, DJ and author Pete K Mally promises that you'll love his exclusive news of the gig of the century during his streaming tonight of The Pete K Mally Stand-Up Show at 7pm, and if you use the limited code PETEK2020, you can get a discount off your ticket here. Pete spent his youth defending his love of Classic Rock and Metal, and he gets the hump when High Street stores are flaunting AC/DC , Iron Maiden and Ramones t-shirts as simple fashion accessories (we've earned these stripes). He is a regular compere at Rock festivals and supported Wayward Sonsand The Last Great Dreamers before lockdown. Now in his forties he openly listens to Poison and is unashamed in this (a little).

"This is a splendidly consistent album which rewards repeated listening; unreservedly recommended.

New Wave Of British Heavy Metal legends Raven release ‘Metal City’, their first new studio album for five years, on Friday 18th September on Steamhammer/SPV. ‘Metal City’ picks up from where 2015’s hugely acclaimed ‘ExtermiNation’ album left off, packing an even more exuberant musical and creative punch than its mighty predecessor. Not only is the title track homage to John Gallagher (bass, vocals) and his brother Mark (guitars) hometown of Newcastle upon Tyne, but it also marks the arrival of new drummer Mike Heller (Fear Factory, Malignancy), who replaced long-standing drummer Joe Hasselvander after he suffered a heart attack (putting an end to his active music career) immediately prior to Raven’s Spring 2017 US tour.

Cult US Melodic/AOR act Fortune travelled to Milan in late April last year to record a rare live set at the annual Frontiers Rock Festival to celebrate the release of their then brand new album, ‘II’, of which 'The Gun's Still Smokin' Live' CD+DVD set was released last Friday and 'Freedom Road' is our Video Of The Day. Fortune released a self-titled album back in 1985 that is still highly regarded by fans of the AOR genre thanks to the soaring vocals of Larry Greene (also featured on the ‘Top Gun’ soundtrack), which were magnificently blended with the keyboards of Roger Scott Craig, the guitar playing of Richard Fortune and the rhythmic drumming of Mick Fortune. Splitting soon after, a full band reunion show eventually took place over thirty years later in Nottingham, followed by their signing to Frontiers.

Special guests for this performance were Steve’s brother John Hackett (flute) and Amanda Lehmann (guitar and vocals), which also included tracks from his acclaimed 2019 release 'At The Edge Of Light'.
