Caine's explosive third single, and today's Track Of The Day, 'Another Light', is the perfect alliance between Nu-Metal and Pop Punk, with a dirty London attitude. Currently being considered by the Recording Academy for a Grammy nomination in 5 categories, including Song of the Year and Best Metal Performance, Caine are proving that an unsigned, self-managed band can set their sights high whilst holding onto their unforgiving, raw sound and respecting their grass roots. The four-piece are pushing the UK Rock/Metal genre and and are tipped for for some big things in 2021 with one more single planned for this year. For fans of: Bring Me The Horizon, While She Sleeps, Tremonti, Shvpes and Wes Borland (Limp Bizkit), the band consists of James Brown – vocals, Dan ‘Rev’ M Hicks – guitars, Josh Bates – bass and Jonny Burraway - drums.

Canadian legends Entropy first hit the Metal scene in the late 80's and 30 years later they are still melting faces, this time with their new full length, 'Force Convergence', released last Friday, of which their track, 'Ripzone', is today's Video Of The Day. This is the band's fourth album, with all the Entropy albums so far having a different feel to them, and this new one is no exception, forging its own path, described as their best yet. Indeed, it's a story-driven cinematic type experience, with the Progressive Thrash Metal concept album already getting excellent reviews. It's not only a 30-minute Metal rip-ride, but it's a creative and fun album that flows with power, melody, aggressiveness and meaning. With an original and eclectic sound that is 30 years in the making, Entropy is suitable for all Metalheads especially those who enjoy Slayer, Pantera and Iron Maiden.

Today's Track Of The Day, 'Tonight I Run', is the title track from the debut EP, due to be released on Friday 18th September, from one of the industry’s go-to producers, Astræa. You’ll recognise her voice and production, as you’ll already know (and love) her voice from her version of ‘You’re Not Alone’ from the Lloyds Bank ad. ‘Tonight I Run’ is the culmination of years of hard work, including sold-out headline shows at London’s St Pancras Church and St James’ Church Piccadilly, and sees Astræa, for the first time, taking the time out to tell her own story. In telling the tale of her struggles with self-doubt and the obstacles she faces in the music industry, Astræa has crafted a near-perfect four-song collection of Electro-Pop which is both understated and exquisite - and brutally honest in its reflection of her own journey towards inner strength, emerging triumphant over adversity.

P.J. Farley releases his second solo album, 'Accent the Change', on Friday 25th September through HighVolMusic, and it's the follow-up to his 2016 release, ‘Boutique Sound Frames’. His professional career as a musician began at the age of 16 as the bass player for Trixter, touring with bands like Kiss, Poison, Scorpions and Warrant. In 2002 P.J. joined up with Active Rock chart toppers Ra, in which he embarked on the second chapter of his recording and touring career, sneaking into the modern Hard Rock genre and touring with bands like Staind, Seether and Sevendust. However, P.J. and Trixter would continue to tour the world once again, as they reemerged to release two new studio records in 2012 and 2014.

Polish Rockers Chemia have released their brand-new single, and today's Video Of The Day, 'Modern Times', co-written and produced by multi-award-winning producer, guitarist and songwriter Andy Taylor, formerly of Duran Duran and The Power Station. The single was recorded at London’s Baltic Studios this time last year. This in turn led to the band heading straight back into the studio to record an album’s worth of material with Andy, which is also set for release later this year. Last year we saw the guys at HRH 13, and they are currently scheduled to play at both Winterstorm and Monster Fest this coming November. The band were also scheduled to play alongside Skid.Row on shows in Mainland Europe this Summer. Sadly, these have had to be postponed along with their other tour dates until 2021.

"While lyrics are important to a songwriter as expressing their view of the world, and clearly drive the impetus to create music in the first place, it’s the sounds that this listener is more interested in (but does also appreciate the heartfelt lyrical content here, which give the songs some real weight). With that in mind I can report that the musical content is excellent. The album has an interesting audio range. Long-time producer Eric Corne has done a great job.” Today read yet another one of our great album reviews, as Simon Green gives you his take here on Walter Trout's latest CD 'Ordinary Madness', which was released yesterday and includes today's Track Of The Day, 'Heartland'.

The Great Affairs are back in business, with their latest LP, ‘Everybody Moves, Nobody Gets Hurt’, a 10-song dose of unapologetically Pop-tinged Rock N' Roll, set for release on Friday 2nd October, of which the album’s first single, 'Lyvia', is now available on all streaming platforms. Following on from 2018's 'Ten & 2', that pursued a more muscular, guitar-heavy sound, now, after a handful of singles, and frontman Denny Smith’s second solo LP ‘From The Dark’ in 2019, the band runs the gamut, possibly covering more ground sonically and stylistically than all of their previous releases combined. Also consisting of Patrick Miller - lead guitar, vocals, Matt Andersen - bass, vocals and Kenny Wright - vocals, drums, percussion, the band made use of the year’s unfortunate circumstances, while logistically problematic at times, resulted in some unique collaborations, and what is arguably their most polished release to date.
