"’Steel Horse’ goes full on Country Rock with plenty of “Yee Haws” for good measure, while, in contrast, ’Keep Calm & Carry On’ fulfils the AOR playlists. This leads us, into the almost Metal sounding Rocker of ‘Razor’s Edge’, duly keeping our devil’s horn hands still raised for ’Break It Down Slowly’, another of the heavier riff laden tracks living in Zeppelin territory, which is the penultimate number to the top tune of this fifteen song collective." Today read another one of our self-isolating album reviews, as Geoff C. this time gives you his take here on Thirteen Stars new CD 'Finest Ramshackle Jam', which is due to be released on Friday 19th June, plus check out our Video Of The Day.

Richard Wayne Penniman, better known as American singer, songwriter and musician, Little Richard, sadly passed away on Saturday. An influential figure in popular music and culture for seven decades, he was nicknamed "The Innovator", "The Originator" and "The Architect of Rock and Roll". Today's Track Of The Day of 'Long Tall Sally' is dedicated to the Rock legend's memory. RIP Richard.

Friday 24th July sees the publication of A Genesis In My Bed – the long overdue autobiography from guitar great and former member of Genesis, Steve Hackett. As with his music, Steve has written a highly detailed, entertaining and embracing tome that charts his life in full, but with a firm emphasis on his years with Genesis that saw the band’s meteoric rise to become one of the most successful British bands of all time. Steve talks candidly about his early life, his time with Genesis, and in particular his personal relationships with the other four band members, with great insight into the daily goings on of this major Rock band. Naturally, A Genesis In My Bed also regales stories of Steve’s career since leaving Genesis and the many different journeys that it has taken him on. Currently Steve is locked down at home, as we all are, having had to abandon his US tour at short notice. “I’d never had to stop a tour halfway before... At least the gigs were postponed, so we will return!" Steve will also embark upon his 22-date Seconds Out UK Tour this November.

"Duly lubricated, another cover, the Stones 'Jumpin Jack Flash' was another slam dunk for those present, Pfister subsequently enquiring "Are we having a good time?" as he counted in eins,zwai, drei, into 'Good Vibes', the penultimate track of the set and from the debut album, his question duly answered by those boppin' away down the front, with Golaz joining in the fun playing his guitar behind his back." That was part of our take on Daxx & Roxane's London Black Heart gig back in October, and indeed last Friday night the boys from Montreaux broadcast their own virtual new second album release party, which is today's Video Of The Day.

On today's Track Of The Day, Solicitor joins The Zach Moonshine Show to talk about their new record 'Spectral Devastation', the lack of tours due to Covid-19 and much more. This episode also features new music from The Rite, Abysmal Dawn, The Scum, BPMD, Last Train to Juarez, Cadaver, Whitechapel, Post Mortal Possession, Book Of The Dead (Visceral Disgorge, Whisteria Cottage), Funeral Leech, Creeping Death, Gutgrinder, Instigator, Bones (Belgium), Tyrant (U.S.), The Hÿss, Welicoruss, battle of the bands winner's District 13 and a classic from Pelvic Meatloaf.

Since their re-formation in late 2018, Hertfordshire based 4-piece Electric Black have led guns and guitars blazing, performing over 150 live shows leading up to the release of their debut album, 'The Calm Before', released towards the end of last year, of which their debut video and single, 'Love Is A Light (For The Lost)', is today's Video Of The Day. A timely musical reflection in these days of isolation, it deals with the desire to better ones’ self, ambition and failure, sexual/emotional crossovers and the angst of love. Euphoric, powerful, soaring and melodic; their original anthems take influence from the likes of Bad Company, Jet, Rival Sons and Black Stone Cherry.

Tyr, Lawnmower Deth, Ross The Boss, Autograph and Madam X have also recently joined Hard Rock Hell‘s sold out Spring Break 70 band spectacular, that takes place next year over the weekend of 10th-14th March at Great Yarmouth's Camp HRH. Anyone at HRH AOR back in 2017 will recall the set from Autograph and will no doubt make a beeline for the Californians on the main stage, whilst all the way from Detroit, Michigan - Madam X, featuring the legendary glam sisters Maxine and Roxy Petrucci (plus singer Bret Kaiser and bassist Chris Doliber), will pay their first visit to the UK in over 30 years.

Newly formed Hard Rock/Metal group Her Chariot Awaits release their eponymous 11-track debut album on Friday 22nd May, of which 'Dead & Gone' is today's Track Of The Day. Featuring the highly regarded Spanish singer Ailyn (ex-Sirenia) on lead vocals and the awesome American guitarist and producer Mike Orlando (Adrenaline Mob), this exciting new musical alliance came about through the vision of Frontiers, who put the two artists – each eager to create a new and exciting project – in touch. The pair gelled extremely well, and with the help of Jeff Thal – drums and Brian Gearty – bass, created an album that offers songs that will excite all lovers of technical, aggressive, modern and extremely catchy Heavy music. The album is a remarkable union of two great artists who still have a lot to prove, and is going to leave listeners breathless – stay tuned!

Xinnix, a Colombian Rock referent, will release its latest single, 'Stay', as its first English version from their debut homonymous studio album on Friday 26th June. The duo's new track is born as an anthem for all those "on and off relationships", in which reason is usually the last call. Formed in Bogotá in 2018, its name comes from the Nix palindrome, the Greek goddess of the night. A stand out in the Latin American Rock scene, the band is composed of just Mad Kat (bass and lead vocals) and Boris Rodriguez (drums and backing vocals), although this uncommon Rock format certainly widens its horizon in showcasing the electric bass as its main thrust.

Papa Roach has just released today's Video Of The Day for their track 'Feel Like Home' - filmed at home under quarantine that provides a rare and very entertaining look into the band members’ home lives, their families and dogs!

Fans are encouraged to create their own version of the video from home, for the opportunity to win several prizes, including a Grand Prize of $1,200. All entries are to be submitted here by Sunday 31st May and the band will announce the winners on Monday 8th June.
