- Goo Goo Dolls Roundhouse Review 1/3/20
"The band obviously know their fan base that wants the favourite numbers from over the years and there is a varying age of punters in the place tonight who got what they wanted. The big hitters like ‘Name’, ’Naked’, ‘Slide’, ’Home’, and for me, the tune of the night ‘Big Machine’ from the ‘Gutterflower’ album - were all enthusiastically received in the house." Today read the whole of Geoff C's take here on Goo Goo Dolls (Track Of The Day) at London's Roundhouse in Camden on Thursday night, supported by 4-piece UK Rockers Valeras.

- Myke Gray Underworld Review 28/2/20
"The song's growing crescendo ends abruptly to leave Kim to finish off the last few bars with her clear plaintiff voice. The white Tele is swapped for a similarly coloured Flying V for 'Colourblind' with a staccato guitar intro which leads into some choppy Pop Rock whereas 'Take Me Down' is a headbanging chugging Rock riff monster overlaid with Myke's intricate fingerpicking and full band backing on vocals. Kim forays out on to a small balcony to balance precariously above the crowd, posing for photos to a powerful Rock backing. Okay, it’s only 3 feet off the ground but that’s a long way up for some people. And it didn’t stop her jumping into the crowd to Rock along amongst them." Today read the whole of Mother's take here on Myke Gray and Kim Jennett who stopped off at London's Underworld in Camden on Sunday night, half way through their UK tour, supported by The Howling Tides, plus check out our Photo Gallery here.

- Leaf Hound Eel Pie Tonite 27/2/20
Cult Rock band, Leaf Hound (Video Of The Day) is playing the Eel Pie Club tonight at The Patch, 67 London Road, Twickenham TW1 3SZ. Led by original vocalist, Peter French (also of Atomic Rooster fame who we recently saw headlining London's iconic 100 Club - pictured), Leaf Hound was a product of the SW London Rock scene of the late 60's which spawned the likes of Free and other Blues-Rock acts. Their 1971 'Growers of Mushroom' album has achieved massive cult status and French's reputation as a potent lead vocalist also led him to a stint with Carmine Appice's US band, Cactus. Leaf Hound was reformed in 2004 and since then the band has re-issued 'Growers of Mushroom', recorded a new album, 'Unleashed', and released a Leaf Hound 'Live in Japan' CD/DVD. Doors open at 8.15pm with music from 9-11pm. WRC members are reminded that they can use their cards to get discounted admission.

- Molly Karloff EP Review 27/2/20
"Their title track was written using a baritone guitar, and right from its opening riff, the addictive hook and aggressive vocal immediately slaps you around the face (think The Offspring), setting the tone and hooks for a real foot stomping head banging groove and chorus, that takes a dig at hypocritical attitudes to drug addiction in society. Their first single released last month, 'She Said', is an infectious Hard Rock collision reminiscent of The Brew meets Black Orchid Empire (check them both out as well), with its swirling guitars intro, melodic verses, cool wah riff, punchy chorus and soaring vocals. Ironically its subject matter is all about perseverance, although you won't have to worry about that as its a track you will want to play over and over again." Today read AJ's complete take here on Molly Karloff's new EP 'Supernaturalation' which will be released next Friday 6th March, plus in advance of its release they are hosting a Launch Party tonight at London's The Black Heart in Camden with support from Spidervayne (7.45pm) and Black Tree Vultures (8.40pm).
