Again we're playing catch up with today's latest Track Of The Day, as you can listen to the sixth Rock Vault 107 show featuring Joe Walsh, The J Geils Band, The Moody Blues, Starship, Thunderclap Newman, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Alice Cooper (pictured), Steve Miller Band 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.

For fans of Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Metallica, Stratovarius, Helloween and Avenged Sevenfold - indulge yourself with today's Track Of The Day, 'Revelation', taken from Lyonen’s debut album, 'This is Lyonen', released in August. Luis “Tato” Rivas' solo-project is fueled by a passion for music and a willingness to spread his message, which will have listeners engulfed into the world he creates with his innate talent and powerful compositions. 'Revelation' is about not being engrossed in the lives of others and how you need the courage to do your own thing. With soaring powerful vocals provided by the UK’s Craig Cairns, this release is just the tip of the iceberg for Lyonen; music is constantly being written and there are plans for a follow-up album next year.

UK Rock trio Skam recently released, via X-Ray Records, today's Video Of The Day for 'Green Eyes', which is the first single taken from their forthcoming EP, 'Intra', due to be released next year on Friday 26th February, which combines the familiar Skam power with melodic choruses to showcase a significant step forward by the band. Combining an early Def Leppard crunch with a touch of the Foo Fighters and the grit of Rival Sons - the track’s focus is on jealousy and how the grass can look greener on the other side of the fence, but to overcome it, you need to suck it up, swallow it down, and concentrate on your own life. It's the first EP of a two-part anthology, making up their fourth full length release, and have gone back to basics and put together a collection of hard hitting inspirational tracks.

"So all in all a nice listen, with Innes’ compositions faring best to these ears after the first few auditions, and definitely a band that I’ll hope to hear in a live setting." That was part of our take on Malone Sibun's debut album, 'Come Together', earlier this year, and despite the fact that we will be seated and socially distanced when they play London's New Cross Inn, on Sunday 22nd November, at least gigs have begun again at the iconic venue in New Cross Road SE14.

Yesterday Matt Mitchell & The Coldhearts released the powerful radio remix track ‘Unavailable’, accompanied by today's striking Video Of The Day, in conjunction to help raise awareness of today's World Mental Health Day 2020. Originally featured on Matt's 2019 eponymous debut album, 'Unavailable' tells a story of someone who is trying to find themselves in a world of fast living artistic lifestyle and ending up amongst people that all seem to be trying their luck at doing the same thing. So behind all the smiles, nights out, bad habits, poker faces, living high life and experiencing many lows; they end up just feeling mentally exhausted and frayed.

Australian rising stars, The Buckleys, continue their ascent in the UK with their gorgeous new single ‘Breathe’, today's Track Of The Day, taken from their debut album, 'Daydream', which came out at the end of last month via Snakefarm Records. A major hit in Australia, ‘Breathe’ reached #3 on the airplay chart, and the video finds the band on the ocean shores near their Byron Bay home as the sun sets. Indeed, siblings Sarah (20), Molly (17) and Lachlan (18) – deliver their own unique style of feel-good music which has seen them grow from busking on the streets of Australia’s music capital, Tamworth, to topping Oz’s Country radio charts with the album title-track, ‘Daydream’.

"Not only are the songs melodically powerful and fresh but, the lyrics haven’t just been chucked together to fill out the space; each song has its genesis in an interesting tale and the titles alone evoke a sense of American life from a different era; titles like ‘Photographs of Johnny Cash’ (a great song) and ‘Voice on the Radio’ (ditto!). The solos are short and punchy and the dual guitars are mostly employed driving the tunes with ringing chords and neat riffs.” Today read yet another one of our great album reviews, as Simon Green gives you his take here on Connor Bracken & The Mother Leeds Band CD 'Nightbird Motel', which was released a fortnight ago and includes today's Video Of The Day, 'When The World Stops Turning'.

Rapidly making a name for himself as one of the most exciting Blues Rock artists in the UK today, today Nigel Barker releases his much anticipated album, 'Five', on all major digital platform. Also released today via Manhaton Records, and following a very special private virtual album launch and listening party via zoom earlier this week, is 'United State Of Mind' – the new album from legends, Robin Trower, Maxi Priest and Livingstone Brown.

"Solving the tesseract would be easier than conveying the feeling of this new album launch. Power Trower trio, Priest preaching.. You could go on. But what it comes down to is a soulful, melodious piece that stretches the boundaries of genre. I guess this could only be a United States of Minds." Despite the state of his net curtains in the background, that was WRC correspondent Ivan De Mello's take earlier this week on a very special private virtual album launch and listening party via zoom for 'United State Of Mind' – the new album from three legends, Robin Trower, Maxi Priest and Livingstone Brown, that's due to be released tomorrow via Manhaton Records. With an intro from all three artists opening up about their thoughts and feelings about this exciting project and collaboration, Livingstone broadcasted from his studio and after the songs, the media, including Ivan, were able to interject with questions.

Master guitarist Lee Ritenour will be releasing his brand new album 'Dreamcatcher' on Friday 4th December via The Players Club, and his title track is today's Video The Day. For Ritenour, there aren't many 'firsts' left to achieve. During his dazzling five-decade career, the fabled LA guitarist has taken his music to the outer limits, alighting on every genre and occupying every position in the Rock 'n' Roll firmament. He's been an enfant terrible of 70's Fusion, a crossover star of the 80's Pop chart, an honorary exponent of Brazilian Jazz, and the fingers behind 90's supergroup, Fourplay. And yet, when he checks the rear-view mirror, the 68-year-old acknowledges he's never made a record like 'Dreamcatcher'. Weaving tapestries of instrumental guitar and conjuring eclectic moods, the 12 tracks of 'Dreamcatcher' rank amongst the most melodic and tinglingly beautiful in Ritenour's catalogue. Even without lyrics, every track tells a story.
