Shyyne are a 4-piece 80's style Sleaze Metal band hailing from Wolverhampton, and last year they signed to WDFD Records to record their new album 'Go Your Own Way', due for release next month, of which the title track is today's Track Of The Day. Formed in 2015 by Toni Gale, the ex-Surrender and Rezist frontman, and Mark Wilkins, the ex-guitarist of Roulette, and fed up with there not being any 80's style "Sunset Strip" Glam or Sleaze bands to enjoy, Toni and Mark decided to do something about it and Shyyne was born! After an EP and an album, 2017 saw Matt Freeman join as bass guitarist, plus one of the most dynamic drummers in the Midlands - Richie "Bev" Bevan! This literally transformed the band into the Shyyne you see today, and you can catch them live supporting D.A.D. at the Tivoli, Buckley, on Saturday 14th March, plus KK's Steel Mill in Wolverhampton on Monday 11th May supporting L. A. Guns.

Fast on her way to becoming a household name, in the past four years the Brooklyn-born, New York-based singer/songwriter has completed three highly-successful nationwide US tours and been described as a “rocket force” for her trademark high-energy modern Country and Americana live performances, with Rock, Pop, Blues and Soul influences, which showcase her powerful voice and luminous stage presence, as well as Jessica’s multiple instrumental talents, playing piano, guitar, harmonica and the drums.

"After a bit of banter from Terry with the assembled troops, the band played 'I Am Weightless', a Septembre cover and a real express train of a track, before returning back to 'GMTD' and the thoughtful and relentless 'Burn This Place' (also a 2016 single), with its Thirty Second To Mars vibe, cool keys, great harmonies and a military drum roll, all emphasising a rich Academy sound system. With the added weight of the infectious 'Tarantula' (the first single I heard off of 'GMTD'), Abbott's introduction of closer 'Can't Smile' from 'SWASAPD' that "You might know this song - fingers crossed" was received with shrieks of delight as the crowd favourite was explosively despatched with an emotional intensity, unwavering precision plus a fitting singalong."
