Voodoo Six, the critically acclaimed London based Hard Rock band, have partnered with Los Angeles based Explorer1 Music (E1) and will release their second album, ‘Simulation Game’, featuring vocalist and frontman Nik Taylor-Stoakes on Friday 6th March, including their latest single 'Gone Forever' (today's Track Of Day). Renown for delivering driving, contemporary Rock with an undercurrent of Blues and killer riffs, the critical consensus is that with these 10 new tracks, the band have raised themselves to another level with this follow up to their 2016 album ‘Make Way For The King’, and will consequently be touring the world throughout 2020 to promote it.

Dirty Vertebrae’s latest 3-track EP ‘Tense’ was released last month via The Animal Farm, along with their first single, ‘News At 10' (today's Video Of The Day), that paves the way for further releases and live dates this year. Hailing from the North-West of England, Dirty Vertebrae are an exciting 5-piece Rock/Rap collective, rich in hybrid strength from their genre-combining roots. This up and coming band are noted for vibrant energy and presence in live performance, being fronted by great on-stage Yin-Yang chemistry from dual vocalists, namely soaring female singer Nicole and razor-sharp male rapper Ash P. The band’s signature sound combines sharp, rapid-fire socially aware Rap with a Northern twang with post-Melodic Grunge, whilst their high energy and interaction with audiences keep their fans engaged, amused and entertained wherever they perform.

Glitter Machine are currently recording their second album, which should be out this Spring, and at the end of last year they dropped their third single, a brooding version of the Ariana Grande hit 'God is a Woman', which is today's Track Of The Day. The band launched their debut album, 'Hanging Out For Fame' in 2018, which showcased their excellent chemistry and musical proficiency - the band comprising of vocalist and guitarist John McKeown, bass player Rik Hornby, drummer Paul Stone and lead guitarist Dominic McGuiness.

Alternative/Metal band Pyogenesis release the third and last part of their Steampunk trilogy 'A Silent Soul Screams Loud' this Friday 24th January, and a track taken from the album, 'Will I Ever Feel The Same', is today's Video Of The Day. Alongside the two previous parts, this one deals with with the change of the society in the 19th century, although musically it connects with the rest of the trilogy, which is the essence of Pyogenesis: melody and melancholy. To coincide with the album's release, Pyogenesis begin an extensive European tour beginning at Germany's Regensburg this Thursday 23rd January.

"So the rest of the day is a whirl of sounds and styles that satisfies all four corners of my music needs. There are so many to mention that I can only mention the highlights. Deep breath, here goes... Raveneye open the Main stage with some awesome chugging Rock. Whilst only a three piece band, they make some big sounds with Oli Brown on lead and vocals, bassist Aaron Spiers and drummer Adam Breeze. Highlight was their track 'You're A Lie' which sees the chugging Rock sound carried solely by Spiers and Breeze. Big dirty sound." That was our take on Raveneye at Maidstone's Ramblin' Man Fair last July (pictured), and Oli is currently taking a break from Raveneye to go back to his Blues roots with The Oli Brown Band, the latest band to appear tonight at the monthly series of Sunday Blues nights at the Tropic in Ruislip, West London. Doors open at 7.30pm with live music from 8.15pm, finishing by 10.30pm.

Yesterday, Scottish Rock band Anchor Lane released their new single 'Dead Run' (today's Video Of The Day), via R7 Records, ahead of the band’s eagerly awaited debut album 'Casino', due to be released on Friday 31st January. 'Dead Run' is a heavy, pounding Rock track that touches on the subject of addiction. The song was written by the band and Rock legend Ricky Warwick (Black Star Riders, Thin Lizzy) who also lends backing vocals to the chorus. The single was recorded at Vale Studios in the Midlands with renowned Rock musician, writer and producer Toby Jepson (Wayward Sons, Gun). To coincide, with the album's release, Anchor Lane are heading off on a five-date UK tour at the end of this month, including London's The Black Heart in Camden on Thursday 30th January.

Also today, The Dove and Boweevil Band hit the Blues At Barleylands stage at 2pm, at Barleylands Social Club, Barleylands Road, Billericay CM11 2UF, whilst Camden Rocks Festival Presents an all-day Rock-n-Roll bonanza featuring Slater + Alex Bayly + The Graft + Entt + Fink Tree + Apollo Junction + The New Nostalgia + Midnight Shoppers + The Dark Light - all live at The Monarch between 1pm and 8.30pm.

This coming Friday 24th January, new British straight up Melodic Hard Rock band Passion release their eponymous debut album, which includes today's Track Of The Day, 'Too Bad For Baby'.

Consequently, Passion are an absolute must for fans of the likes of AC/DC, Aerosmith, Kiss, Danger Danger, Foreigner, Journey, Ratt and Van Halen.

King, Robert Cray, Buddy Guy, Gary Moore (pictured), Stevie Ray Vaughan and many more.

"Following on, and now playing to a full house are Myke Gray. For those unfamiliar, the namesake guitarist was an integral part of nineties rockers Skin. His current incarnation is a vehicle for the Joe Satriani lookalike to play like a Joe Satriani soundalike. For this festival however, the instrumentalist has had the inspired idea of recruiting Kim Jennett, from Voodoo Blood, for vocals. What a powerful little powerhouse she is." That was part of our take on HRH 2018 and not only do Myke Gray and Kim Jennett embark on a UK tour next month, including London's The Underworld on Sunday 23rd February, but the song-writer and guitarist from Jagged Edge, Skin, Red White & Blues has recently unveiled his new project Shades of Gray, including today's Video Of The Day 'I Get Up'.

Supersuckers’ mighty 13th studio album ‘Play That Rock ‘N’ Roll’ is set for release on Friday 7th February on Steamhammer/SPV. Tracked over the course of four sweltering days at Willie Nelson’s Austin, Texas, studio, ‘Play That Rock ‘N’ Roll’ rocks with an amphetamine intensity, delivering muscular riffs, big choruses and more than a few tricks up its sleeve. Raw, immediate and often times hilarious, it's an album a band makes after slugging it out on the road for thirty years (barring a one year hiatus while vocalist Eddie Spaghetti battled throat cancer). To coincide with its release, the band embark on a seven-date UK headline tour, kicking off at London's 100 Club on Sunday 9th February, finishing at Pershore's Iron Road on Saturday 15th February.
