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.

Hotly tipped Scottish Rock outfit, Mason Hill, released their new single 'Against The Wall' last Friday via 7Hz Recordings (ADA), and today's Track Of The Day is the title track taken from their debut album, which will be released next year on Friday 5th March. To trace the Mason Hill story to its origin, Scott Taylor and James Bird met at school in Glasgow. At the age of 14, Bird was already an accomplished, award-winning, gifted guitar prodigy, and teenager Taylor already harboured dreams of fronting a Rock ’n’ Roll band. Consequently the pair’s friendship and shared aspirations led them to form Mason Hill in 2013, adding drummer Craig McFetridge, bassist Matthew Ward and guitarist Marc Montgomery in due course. Five diverse, colourful characters, these ambitious young men were instantly bonded by a shared, singular vision, which now has finally paid dividends with their forthcoming debut release.

Los Angeles, California, The City of Angels... cross-genre Rock ‘n’ Roller Derek Day is emerging from the creative cauldron of quarantine with a timely, provocative new single, 'Click On Me', now available on all digital platforms, and it's accompanied by a very current and apt 3D animated Video Of The Day. The guitar virtuoso is also joined by venerable Living Colour guitarist Vernon Reid, whose eclectic career blending everything from Punk to Funk is a natural complement to Day’s own encompassing signature sound, driven by a wide variety of influences, including Classic Rock, R&B, Soul, Funk and Pop. The track is the result of a collaborative process between Day and Reid which began in 2018, with Vernon co-writing, producing and arranging the track, complemented by Derek's lyrics, a thoughtful meditation on themes of loneliness, desire and artifice, in how people present themselves in the crafting of their online identities. In a final bit of thematic synchronicity, the release will be celebrated with a socially distanced virtual live show streaming on Facebook Live which will be announced via social media in an apt twist.

The legendary Industrial/Rap/Rock/Funk politically active and socially critical 90's band, Consolidated, have reunited for a one-time album release through Cargo Records later this year, plus a European tour pencilled in from May to July next year. Indeed, since breaking up in the 1990's, the left leaning group, consisting of Adam Sherburne: guitar, vocals, Mark Pistel: samples, sequencers and keyboards/synths and Lynn Farmer (Meat Beat Manifesto): drums, have decided to bring a well-needed message to the world during this time of great division. Formed in 1988, the Americans are best known in the early 1990's as an Alternative Dance band, and between 1989 and 1994 their instrumental style evolved from Industrial, to Hip-Hop, to Hard Rock and Funk, with mixtures of live and electronic instruments. They were also distinguished by their radical lyrics, as well as their innovative sonic collages.
