Not only has Low Cut Connie released a video for the title track of his forthcoming album 'Private Lives' (today's Track Of The Day), but he will also be performing another one of his cathartic, high-energy livestream shows heretonight. The self-produced double album which took the Philadelphia-based Rock and Roll act three years to assemble will be released later this year via Contender Records/MidCitizen Records. Alternating between raucous, full-tilt, Rock and Roll ecstasy and gritty, stripped-down vulnerability, 'Private Lives' is Low Cut Connie’s most potent and wide-ranging work to date, a complicated, sprawling epic.

Today's Video Of The Day is Haig's latest single ‘Did I Just Make You Smile?’, dedicated to the NHS & Emergency Services of the UK, whilst we're in the crisis of the Covid-19 virus. In the video you'll see people in isolation of their homes, NHS staff and parts of the Emergency service team, and lastly a few clips to remind us of what we have to look forward to when all this is distant memory! Billy Bibby’s experience with Catfish & The Bottlemen alongside Carl Rutherford, as well as Joe Mooney's experience in the music scene, have given the band an instantaneous worldly feel, delivering pure melodious, yet intricate Rock, that has radio written all over it. Looking forward to their debut EP 'Freeze The World', it's British Rock at its absolute best, meshing Classic Rock with a progressively Indie vibe.

This episode also features brand new music from Lady Beast, Witchkiss, Ogre, Cryptic Shift, Dark Forest, Luna13, Grieve, Hegemony, Smoulder, Noroth, Varicella, Vader, Mammon's Throne, Danzig, and classics by request from Gravehuffer, Necrotion, Aborym, Bolt Thrower, Asphyx, Celtic Frost, Year of the Cobra, Domkraft and battle of the bands winners District 13!

"The band returned to perform encore 'Separated Out' from 2001's 'Anoraknophobia', which was additionally notable not only for the sextet upping their enjoyment by having a little 'Kashmir' (yes, that 'Kashmir') breakout moment, but also saw the smiling Rothery throwing a few moves around the stage, thanks in no small part to the audience participation and Mosley's brilliant drumming. After ignoring Hogarth's request for everybody to "just go home", Rothery was at last given his introduction by Hogarth to possibly the loudest recognition of the night." That was part of our take last November on Marillion at London's Royal Albert Hall, and today's Video Of The Day features the first part of guitarist Steve Rothery's 'La Silla', from his forthcoming crowdfunded album 'Revontulet', which will be released on Monday 28th September.
