Calgary’s powerful, Symphonic Progressive Metal band Osyron unleashed their new album 'Foundations' earlier this month, and one of its five tracks, 'Ignite', is today's Video Of The Day. The album is an immersive exploration of Canadian history and identity, speaking on topics on the country's colonization to the mistreatment and recognition of Aboriginals to the country's participation in global warfare. Although it is not a conceptual release, it does bear a consistent theme across nearly the entirety of the record. For fans of Nightwish, Dream Theater and Wintersun; the group consists of vocalist Reed, guitarists Krzysztof Stalmach and Bobby Harley, bassist Tyler Corbett and drummer Cody Anstey. Bridging the gap between traditional European Metal and the music of their homegrown contemporaries, Osyron has a distinctive sound, all of their own.

The Allman Betts Band release their second full-length studio album entitled 'Bless Your Heart' on Friday 28th August via BMG, and their first single, 'Magnolia Road', was released last month on all DSP's, and is today's Video Of The Day. Indeed, the music video was exclusively premiered via The ABB official YouTube channel, with Devon Allman and Duane Betts joining in and chatting live with fans. The single is the tie-dyed contender for Summer favourite. A semi-autobiographical lyric shared by Betts and Allman, ironically this is the only song on the album with band collaborator Stoll Vaughan as its sole author. Vaughan wrote the song alone, though namechecking detailed parts of Betts’ and Allman’s life, respectively. Musically it evokes the group’s affection for The Band and the Grateful Dead.

Not a band you can second guess, unpredictable Kent Punks Riskee and The Ridicule follow-up their first lockdown release in May, the seething anger of the Brexit-baiting single ‘Blue Jacket’, with their own respectful take on New York Pop singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey’s award-winning 2013 smash-hit, ‘Young And Beautiful’, which is today's Video Of The Day. This, however, is no guilty pleasure for the band, who are longtime fans of Lana’s work. Despite being isolated from each other at the time, the band still managed to create a video, by recording their individual parts at home, allowing their former bassist David Thomas to collate them together with footage from one of the bands early hometown gigs.

He has played with each and every leader of Funk, starting with James Brown throughout the 1960's and beyond, then jumping aboard the Mothership Connection with Parliament-Funkadelic, as well as a decade long collaboration with Prince. 'Soul Food - Cooking With Maceo' blends raw, old school Funk with the flavours of the New Orleans school of music. The funky flavour of the city weaves its way through the album as Maceo and the band take on iconic songs of the Mississippi masters such as Dr. John, The Meters and Allen Toussaint as well as takes on Aretha Franklin, Prince and Maceo’s long-time hero and Ray Charles saxophonist, David "Fathead" Newman.

Matt Pearce & The Mutiny recently released physical and digital tracks from their exclusive tour EP: ‘An Ongoing Thing: Demos, Acoustics and Covers’.

The EP includes five tracks: ‘Got A Thing Going On’, ‘Do What You Do’, ‘Some People’ (acoustic) - all written by Matt; plus live gig favourite covers: ‘Strange Relationship’ (Prince) and ‘Oh Well’ (Fleetwood Mac). Consisting of Matt (vocals, guitar), Joe Lazarus (drums), Joe Mac (keyboards), Kelpie Mackenzie (bass), Daliah Sherrington (vocals) and Terry Edwards (saxophone), together they deliver these songs with skill, passion and gusto.

Consisting of Jack Doolan - vocals/ guitars, Will Cass - guitars/vocals, Rich Hinks - bass and Declan Doran - drums, the band’s debut album, 'The Great Surveyor', was released in October 2015 to rave reviews. Indeed, the band is also known for its epic music videos, filmed at famous landmarks such as Battersea Power Station ('Lonely Road') and The Natural History Museum ('Open the Dark Door'), where the band was given unprecedented access for an entire night, in 2017!

See you at the bar in 2021!
