Rock singer-guitarist Ayron Jones recently shared his explosive debut single ‘Take Me Away’ via Big Machine/John Varvatos Records, accompanied by a powerful lyric video, which is today's Video Of The Day. The single is influenced by the weight of his past and the struggles that shaped Jones’ art, and equally inspired by diverse musical influences to create a style uniquely his own. Jones’ tumultuous childhood, marred by parental addiction and abandonment, laid the foundation for the song’s themes. The gritty, genre-blending artist is an amalgam of the incredibly rich musical history of Seattle - the city that has helped to shape who he is as an artist and person. Indeed, part of the fabric of his Seattle atmosphere, Jones has opened for Guns ’N’ Roses at the Gorge and B.B. King, building early critical acclaim independently.

Dyble Longdon is a collaboration between iconic vocalist Judy Dyble (ex Fairport Convention, Trader Horne), who sadly, we learnt on Sunday, has died after a long illness, and Big Big Train songwriter and frontman David Longdon, and they release their highly anticipated album 'Between A Breath And A Breath' on Friday 25th September. The album contains seven original compositions with all lyrics by Judy and music and production by David. The songs are, at times, haunting and, at others, beautifully fragile. As well as Judy (vocals, autoharp) and David (vocals, acoustic and electric guitars, mandolin, piano and keyboards), they are joined by Jeff Davenport (Jade Warrior, drums) plus Longdon’s Big Big Train bandmates Danny Manners (double bass), Rikard Sjöblom (accordion), Rachel Hall (violin), Greg Spawton (bass guitar and Moog Taurus pedals) and Nick D’Virgilio (drums). Other featured musicians are Dave Gregory (ex-Big Big Train and XTC, guitar), Andy Lewis (Paul Weller, bass guitar), Luca Calabrese (Isildurs Bane, trumpet) and Dave Sturt (Gong and Steve Hillage, fretless bass).

"The gears are stepped up swiftly on ‘Drugland Weekend’, with some rocking lead guitar licks from former Kiss man ‘Ace Frehley’, whilst ‘Broken Love’ sees the last of the impressive guest list, which features Brian Ray, a regular in the Paul McCartney Band. This dreamy Rock tune leads us to play out with ‘Go’ and ‘Winding Road', both in true Enuff Z’Nuff mid-pace Melodic Rock style. Not a bad apple in the bunch, the fanbase will be more than happy, the proof is in the pudding and as Mr. Dio once hailed to Mr. Blackmore - "Long Live Rock ‘n’ Roll.” Today read another one of our lockdown album reviews, as Geoff C. this time gives you his take here on Enuff Z'Nuff's new CD 'Brainwashed Generation', which was released last Friday, plus check out our Video Of The Day.

Firmly at the forefront of the Progressive Rock and Metal scenes for nearly three decades now, and one of modern Rock’s most acclaimed live acts, Sweden’s Pain Of Salvation return with a new studio album entitled 'Panther', due out on Friday 28th August worldwide via InsideOutMusic, of which the opening track from the album, ‘Accelerator’, is today's Video Of The Day.

During lockdown, a number of bands have aired acoustic or social distancing videos and Iron Maiden legacy band, Gypsy’s Kiss, are no different, as they have produced three acoustic versions of their original tracks plus an exceptional cover of David Bowie's ‘The Man Who Sold The World’, which is today's Track Of The Day. The classic, which is receiving a great deal of attention, will be featured on their ‘Acoustic Lockdown’ EP due for release later this year, with the band also currently working on their debut album, due for release early next year. Maiden founder/bassist Steve Harris and David Smith were founder members of Gypsy’s Kiss and in April 1974 they had their first paying gig at the Cart and Horses, Stratford, when they were orginally named Influence. Smith had been asked to reform the band many times over the years and finally did so for a charity festival in March 2018.

UK Thrashers Onslaught release 'Generation Antichrist' on Friday 7th August, their seventh album, inspired by a world, so full of hatred, megalomaniacs and political madness. Led by founding guitarist Nige Rockett, if you like your Thrash Metal brutal and extreme, then this is definitely the album for you! Well overdue, 'Generation Antichrist' follows five years of touring, not only promoting their last studio album 'VI', but also the 30th Anniversary of their 1986 'The Force' album.

Last Friday, Nigel Barker released his brand new single 'Yeah Yeah Yeah', and he has a brand new video to go with it, which is today's Video Of The Day! The song is a gritty, accomplished, mesmerising track and is the second single release from his forthcoming new album 'Five-The Fifth Album' which comes out later this year. It follows the earlier release, in May of 'Telling My Troubles To Strangers' which saw thousands of views of its video within days of its release and airplay in countries throughout Europe and the USA. Nigel Barker has, until now, been a hidden gem of the UK music scene, and this exciting, unusual and wholly original artist is a real master Bluesman and a phenomenal songwriter who's music straddles, Blues, Americana, Rock and lo-fi Pop.

Master Charger, a hard-working, heavy, fuzzed-up 3-piece Stoner act from the Midlands, are set to release their third album, 'Origin of the Lugubrious', on Friday 21st August, and it's their first on Stoned Rocka Recordings. Widely known on the live circuit as a formidable powerhouse with a reputation for delivering bone-crushing sets over sublime Stoner grooves, they bring a unique blend of ballsy, bluesy, groove fuelled, doom-laden and at times jammed out Rock ‘N’ Roll Sludge. This was later dubbed as a “Satanic Blues Rumble” when a fan best described the band’s sound after a show they played at Birmingham’s O2 Academy, which has since stuck! Formed in 2006, the band released their first full-length album 'Unity In Black' in 2011, followed eventually, in January 2016, by 'Eroding Empires'.

Last month singer/songwriter Jonny Ong released the accompanying video to his new single ‘Fools’, which is today's Track Of The Day. It's the latest release from Jonny, the new name who is blasting onto the Psychedelia scene, and is an outpouring of emotion, with a full and varied instrumentation, making Ong a force to be reckoned with. This multi-instrumentalist hails from Singapore and melds traditional approaches with Western-influences. During his teenage years, Jonny not only found a deep obsession for Psychedelic music, but he was also inspired by a busker in Amsterdam to pick up the Handpan.

With an overwhelming response to the success of Anvil's recent virtual Independence Day live stream concert, organisers are offering all the fans who missed it, and the fans who watched it, an opportunity to watch it all again here. The Canadian band performed this first live stream from Quebec City, which was organised by District 7 Production and L'Anti Bar & Spectacles. Back in February, the Heavy Metal band released a new album 'Legal At Last' celebrating the legalisation of recreational cannabis use in Canada. To support the album, the band had a tour planned in the UK and Germany, with an assortment of other stops along the way. Unfortunately, like everyone else, Covid-19 stopped the tour in its tracks, hence this live stream.
