Since their re-formation in late 2018, Hertfordshire based 4-piece Electric Black have led guns and guitars blazing, performing over 150 live shows leading up to the release of their debut album, 'The Calm Before', released towards the end of last year, of which their debut video and single, 'Love Is A Light (For The Lost)', is today's Video Of The Day. A timely musical reflection in these days of isolation, it deals with the desire to better ones’ self, ambition and failure, sexual/emotional crossovers and the angst of love. Euphoric, powerful, soaring and melodic; their original anthems take influence from the likes of Bad Company, Jet, Rival Sons and Black Stone Cherry.

Newly formed Hard Rock/Metal group Her Chariot Awaits release their eponymous 11-track debut album on Friday 22nd May, of which 'Dead & Gone' is today's Track Of The Day. Featuring the highly regarded Spanish singer Ailyn (ex-Sirenia) on lead vocals and the awesome American guitarist and producer Mike Orlando (Adrenaline Mob), this exciting new musical alliance came about through the vision of Frontiers, who put the two artists – each eager to create a new and exciting project – in touch. The pair gelled extremely well, and with the help of Jeff Thal – drums and Brian Gearty – bass, created an album that offers songs that will excite all lovers of technical, aggressive, modern and extremely catchy Heavy music. The album is a remarkable union of two great artists who still have a lot to prove, and is going to leave listeners breathless – stay tuned!

Xinnix, a Colombian Rock referent, will release its latest single, 'Stay', as its first English version from their debut homonymous studio album on Friday 26th June. The duo's new track is born as an anthem for all those "on and off relationships", in which reason is usually the last call. Formed in Bogotá in 2018, its name comes from the Nix palindrome, the Greek goddess of the night. A stand out in the Latin American Rock scene, the band is composed of just Mad Kat (bass and lead vocals) and Boris Rodriguez (drums and backing vocals), although this uncommon Rock format certainly widens its horizon in showcasing the electric bass as its main thrust.

Just days after music lost The Stranglers Dave Greenfield to Covid-19, another keyboard legend has passed away, namely Kraftwerk's Florian Schneider of cancer at the age of 73. Memories of hearing 'Autobahn' (Video Of The Day) for the first time in 1974 in a banged up VW Beetle on the shores of Lake Maggiore, with some newly acquainted German friends, come flooding back. Suffice to say that the German electronic music pioneer formed one of most influential groups of all time with Ralf Hutter in 1970, and changed music forever - Hip-Hop, Synthpop and Rock all owe a debt to him. The double whammy of course is that Covid-19 also prevented the Man Machine performing their trademark multi-media show, combining digital surround sound with breathtaking 3D animations and robotics, at Victoria Park's All Points East at the end of this month. RIP Florian.

Instead of her European headline tour, New York Blues Rock singer/songwriter Sari Schorr has been grounded in New York, however, Sari has made today's haunting Video Of The Day using her iPhone, showing striking scenes of the city in social isolation and lockdown. Set to her 2016 track ‘Ordinary Life’, it's poignant and powerful. It captures a moment in time where ordinary lives became anything but, and when many have learned to be grateful for everyday experiences that we may have taken for granted: a feeling that will resonate with many.
