Today's Video Of The Day is 'Gasoline', taken from Crobot's latest album 'Motherbrain', which follows their runaway hit 'Low Life', which peaked in the Top 10 at the US active Rock charts, following a lengthy 29 week run on the Billboard charts. Crobot plan to resume touring to support the album once restrictions for public gatherings are lifted across North America and Europe. Last year the band played a number of headline and supporting shows across Europe and the UK, as well as festival slots at Wacken Open Air, Ramblin' Man Fair and Alcatraz. All future appearance plans will be shared as they become firm.

Having recently signed to Golden Robot Records, the legendary L.A. Guns have released their new single 'Crawl', off their upcoming album 'Renegades'. If there was a band synonymous with the infamous Sunset Strip it is L.A. Guns. Born into a scene that will never be replicated, L.A. Guns rode alongside Motley Crue, Guns N’ Roses, Ratt, Poison, Quiet Riot and co. in one of the biggest movements in music history. L.A. Guns are without a doubt Hollywood Rock Royalty, and now, after some down time, the band is back and firing with the return of Kelly Nickels on bass, Steve Riley on drums, Scotty Griffin on lead guitar and Kurt Frohlich on lead vocals and guitar.

Elles Bailey has teamed up with the charity Heroes, which is very close to her heart, by re-releasing her single and today's Track Of The Day, ‘Help Somebody’, to support 'Their Help Them Help Us' campaign which is supporting frontline NHS workers in a variety of ways. Indeed, the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic over recent weeks, particularly the last month, has stirred up powerful memories for award-winning, Bristol based singer-songwriter Elles. It took her back twenty-nine years to when she spent her third birthday in an intensive care hospital ward, being kept alive on a ventilator, supported by the NHS and their team of incredible nurses and doctors. The single’s proceeds will go to Heroes but Elles also wants to encourage people to make a direct donation to the charity itself please.

Asenblut, the powerful Metal armada, is back, in company with another beastie longplayer, 'Die Wilde Jagd', due to be released on Friday 29th May. A worthy successor of 2016's 'Berserker', the Melodic Deathers connect to the predecessor, uncompromisingly, fast, melodious but still with brutal ironess, they call the hunting horns for Viking Thrash Metal. The band has used the past years to harden and to gear themselves up to counterpose the twilight of the Gods with their multi-layered Metal. This time great value is set upon to tell stories, which originated in classical mythology, combined with catchy chorus passages, to take the listener on a journey into a fantastic world.

Today's Blues On The Radio Track Of The Day is an hour filled with music from Half Deaf Clatch, Dani Wilde, Eliza Neals, Troy Redfern (pictured), Dave Arcari, Larkin Poe, Linsey Alexander, Bob Angell, David Philips & Abel Boquera, Ma Polaine's Great Decline, Wayne Nicholson & John Campbelljohn, Elles Bailey, The Andy Roberts Group and a first play of the new single from Mike Ross.

"’Steel Horse’ goes full on Country Rock with plenty of “Yee Haws” for good measure, while, in contrast, ’Keep Calm & Carry On’ fulfils the AOR playlists. This leads us, into the almost Metal sounding Rocker of ‘Razor’s Edge’, duly keeping our devil’s horn hands still raised for ’Break It Down Slowly’, another of the heavier riff laden tracks living in Zeppelin territory, which is the penultimate number to the top tune of this fifteen song collective." Today read another one of our self-isolating album reviews, as Geoff C. this time gives you his take here on Thirteen Stars new CD 'Finest Ramshackle Jam', which is due to be released on Friday 19th June, plus check out our Video Of The Day.

Richard Wayne Penniman, better known as American singer, songwriter and musician, Little Richard, sadly passed away on Saturday. An influential figure in popular music and culture for seven decades, he was nicknamed "The Innovator", "The Originator" and "The Architect of Rock and Roll". Today's Track Of The Day of 'Long Tall Sally' is dedicated to the Rock legend's memory. RIP Richard.

Friday 24th July sees the publication of A Genesis In My Bed – the long overdue autobiography from guitar great and former member of Genesis, Steve Hackett. As with his music, Steve has written a highly detailed, entertaining and embracing tome that charts his life in full, but with a firm emphasis on his years with Genesis that saw the band’s meteoric rise to become one of the most successful British bands of all time. Steve talks candidly about his early life, his time with Genesis, and in particular his personal relationships with the other four band members, with great insight into the daily goings on of this major Rock band. Naturally, A Genesis In My Bed also regales stories of Steve’s career since leaving Genesis and the many different journeys that it has taken him on. Currently Steve is locked down at home, as we all are, having had to abandon his US tour at short notice. “I’d never had to stop a tour halfway before... At least the gigs were postponed, so we will return!" Steve will also embark upon his 22-date Seconds Out UK Tour this November.

"Duly lubricated, another cover, the Stones 'Jumpin Jack Flash' was another slam dunk for those present, Pfister subsequently enquiring "Are we having a good time?" as he counted in eins,zwai, drei, into 'Good Vibes', the penultimate track of the set and from the debut album, his question duly answered by those boppin' away down the front, with Golaz joining in the fun playing his guitar behind his back." That was part of our take on Daxx & Roxane's London Black Heart gig back in October, and indeed last Friday night the boys from Montreaux broadcast their own virtual new second album release party, which is today's Video Of The Day.
