British Rock band Broken Hands released their second album 'Split in Two' last Friday via SO Recordings, of which ‘Run Away’ is today's Video Of The Day. The track is an Indie anthem with Pop sensibilities, rich for arenas and small venues alike, taking influence from the era of Brit Rock heroes such as Oasis and The Verve. It follows the previously shared guitar fuelled ‘For The Night’, which is a heartfelt ballad of stadium-sized proportions demonstrating a different side to the acclaimed Kent Rock band. Indeed, the band’s live dynamics and sonic blend of Rock, Indie and Americana-esque moments has been captured throughout 'Split In Two'.

Following on from some excellent reviews for their album 'The Ticket to Memphis', released in April this year, Richard Townend & The Mighty Bosscats have released a new video for their track 'Walk in Style' ,which is today's Video Of The Day. Not only that, but the band also released another new album at the end of last month, through all good commercial digital stores, entitled 'Moscow Bosscats', recorded live on a trip to Russia in May last year with a fine bunch of guys at the Moscow Rhythm and Blues Club.

Today's Track Of The Day is ’The Tower of Babel’, from The Tangent, the Progressive Rock group led by Andy Tillison, and it's the second single to be taken from their 11th studio album 'Auto Reconnaissance’, due to be released on Friday 21st August via Inside Out Music. It's the follow-up to 2018’s ‘Proxy’, which sees them continuing the band philosophy of celebrating the golden age of Prog, whilst bringing it to the present and exploring new paths for the music to take in the future. For this album, Andy (vocals, lyrics, keyboards, composer), is joined by Jonas Reingold (Steve Hackett) bass guitar, Theo Travis (Soft Machine) sax and flute, Luke Machin (Francis Dunnery) guitar and Steve Roberts (Godsticks) drums.

A new Swedish Melodic Rock sensation, Arctic Rain's ‘The One’, due out tomorrow, is an outstanding debut album, of which 'Lost' is today's Track Of The Day. Indeed, the group’s intention from the off was to write songs with a strong Melodic vibe based around the instrumental harmonies of influences such as Whitesnake, Mr Big, Foreigner, Talisman, Def Leppard, Toto, Treat, Dokken and White Lion, but with a modern twist. The core of the band is the songwriting of seasoned keyboard player Pete Alpenborg (who has worked with Revolution Saints, House Of Lords, Issa, All 41, Toby Hitchcock, Sunstorm and Kee Of Hearts), the tasteful guitar skills of Magnus Berglund, plus the amazing voice of Tobias Jonsson.

Supergroup Flying Colors will be releasing their brand new live album, ‘Third Stage: Live in London’, on Friday 18th September via Music Theories Recordings, of which 'Mask Machine' is today's Video Of The Day. With guitarist Steve Morse (Deep Purple), drummer Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater), keyboardist/vocalist Neal Morse (Spock's Beard), bassist Dave LaRue (Joe Satriani) and powerhouse vocalist and songwriter Casey McPherson (Alpha Rev, The Sea Within) - the result was always going to be lightning in a bottle. Filmed during their 2019 US and European tour, the footage not only captures the exhilarating sold-out final night, last December at the iconic Shepherd’s Bush Empire, but also includes bonus material of music videos and concert footage of their Morsefest 2019 performance in Cross Plains, Tennessee. ‘Third Stage: Live In London’ captures the band in all their uncompromising glory, five musicians, that when they come together, prove that they have a special and breathtaking connection. In the words of Mr. Portnoy, it’s the “rarest of all sightings", but what a sight to behold.

Deep Blue Sea, like virtually all bands during the lockdown and beyond, have been unable to get together and play - but by the magic of the interweb - from locations around London - attics, bedrooms and bathrooms! - they have re-recorded three songs under the banner 'Lock It Up' - and if you would like an mp3 of any or all of the tracks then go here, or just drop an e-mail to deepblueseamusic@btinternet.com and the band will send you the downloads! A reference to their 2018 album recorded at Harpenden Rock and Blues Festival, the tracks, which were also captured on phones and Zoom cameras and put together as clips, have all been changed a little here and there because of the lockdown and together the band hopes they create a snapshot of life as it is at the moment and also give a positive look to the future.

North Carolina’s Groove Metal outfit WoR is gearing up to release their debut album 'Prisoners' this Friday 7th August via Bungalo Records/Universal, of which their first single, 'Predator', is today's Track Of The Day. Throwing in elements of Thrash, Metalcore and even Hardcore Punk, everyone in the band has taken a different musical path and the variety of influences shows through in the unique and original sound. It’s a little bit Melodic and a little bit Old School, but completely energetic, and promises to be an extreme journey from start to finish, a Metal album through and through. Consisting of Bobby Demoss – vocals, Ben Kaiser – guitar, David Nisoff - guitar, Phillip Funderburk – guitar and Hunter Crews – drums, there are no clean guitars on the whole album, just heavy and groovy riffs. Indeed, there is something for Metal fans from the entire spectrum to enjoy, especially those who like Pantera, Lamb of God and Machine Head.

"Recorded in New Jersey, the album is dedicated to studio owner and engineer Ben Elliott, who sadly passed away after working on the album. The stand out track for me is the closing slow and expressive instrumental ‘Crying Guitar’, which does what it says on the tin, featuring some lovely lyrical note selection using a warm fat tone that I associate with a Les Paul; some really nice controlled and clean bending on this. I’d take an entire album of this quality any day of the week.” Today read another one of our great album reviews, as Simon Green gives you his take here on Savoy Brown's CD 'Ain't Done Yet', which is due to be released on Friday 28th August, plus check out our Video Of The Day of 'All Gone Wrong'.
