Today's Video Of The Day is taken from 'The Isolation Sessions', an album of re-imagined favourite songs from Danny Stoakes, all reworked and recorded in isolation, that will be released in the Summer with all money going to help fight Coronavirus. What would AC/DC sound like if Oasis covered them? Add the incredible vocal talents of Burnt Out Wreck frontman Gary Moat on 'A Whole Lotta Rosie', and they were cooking with gas. From Heavy Metal to Country, Rock and Roll to Folk, it's a huge cross section of music delivered in an entirely different style, thanks to collaborations with the creme de la creme of the current Rock scene.

Thursday 24th September, sees Skin, global female icon and trail-blazing lead singer of multi-million-selling Rock band Skunk Anansie, publish 'It Takes Blood and Guts', co-written with music journalist, biographer and broadcaster Lucy O’Brien, who has written for Q, MOJO, Sunday Times and The Guardian. As an incendiary live performer, she shatters preconceptions about race and gender. As an activist and inspirational role model she has been smashing through stereotypes for over twenty-five years. With her striking visual image and savagely poetic songs, Skin has been a groundbreaking influence both with Skunk Anansie and as a solo artist. She talks powerfully about her work as social and cultural activist, championing LGBTQ+ rights at a time when few artists were out and gay. Told with honesty and passion, this is the story of how a black, working-class girl with a vision fought poverty and prejudice to write songs, produce and front her own band, and become one of the most influential women in British Rock.

South Coast based Heavy Rock band Black Tree Vultures are the latest ‘must see’ band to join the Roulette family, and their 2019 single ‘Pull Apart’, produced by Grammy nominee Romesh Dodangoda (Motorhead, Funeral for a Friend, Bring Me The Horizon), is today's Video Of The Day. Indeed, they recently recorded a four track EP in Spain with producer Will Maya (The Answer, Raise a Little Hell/Breed 77), which is set for release in 2021. Formed in 2017 by Jonno Smyth (drums) and Aaron ‘Ham’ Hammersley (guitar), the band drew on their classic Metal influences, and with lead vocalist Celyn Beynon and bass guitarist ‘Ched’ Cheeseman subsequently completing the current line-up, they have added a modern edge ensuring their sound appealed to audiences from seasoned Metal veterans to new Rock lovers.
