Brothers Of Metal from Falun, Sweden, are an extraordinary new 8-piece taking the Metal world by storm and next month they release their masterfully crafted new weapon 'Emblas Saga' on Friday 10th January, of which their stomping first single 'Njord', is today's Track Of The Day. The album follows their November 2018 self-released debut ‘Prophecy Of Ragnarök’, which became a bestseller overnight. Fresh off of triumphant gigs at Sweden Rock and Germany’s Rockharz & Rock Am Stück festivals, to coincide with 'Emblas Saga's release, they will be embarking on a headlining tour which kicks off on Thursday 9th January in Hamburg, Germany, where they will be joined by their labelmates, Italian Folk Power Metallers Elvenking.

We last saw Rock 'n Roll stand-up comic and author Pete K Mally just under two years ago at a sold out Leicester Square Theatre in London (pictured) during his 'Live N Loud - For Those About To Laugh' tour, and next year Pete hits the UK in April/ May as part of his 'Self-Help & Sporadic Hairs' tour, that includes The Cavendish Arms in London on Friday 17th April. The Rock DJ for MMH and Rock compere (Call of the Wild, Gravity Festival, Livewire, Crazy Cowboy 4 /5, Winterstorm), will talk about teaching, Rock 'n' Roll, heroes and depression.

Today check out our initial Photo Gallery here from Wrinklystock 8, held at The Mick Jagger Centre on Friday night - not only a brilliant night of live music with sponsored classic Rock covers from the fantastic The Replicants, and exceptional sets from both Jamie & The Jets 'Don't Shoot Me, I'm Not Really Elton John' Show, plus Status Quo tribute act Just Supposin’ who captured the raw energy and excitement of the original ‘Frantic Four’, but we also raised another £1,000 for our nominated charities - The Friends Of Carlton Centre and Celebrations Theatrical Group. Here's to Wrinklystock 9!

Recently signed to Mascot Label Group imprint Provogue Records, Blues Rock guitarist Albert Cummings will release his new album, 'Believe', next year on Valentine's Day, and the first track 'Hold On', a rendition of the 1966 Soul classic by Sam & Dave, is today's Track Of The Day. Featuring a flavourful mix of Blues, Country and Rock 'n’ Roll, the 11-track album was recorded at the iconic Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Cummings takes this release to new heights with the help of Grammy Award-winning producer, Jim Gaines, and together, they drew inspiration from the rich recording legacy of Muscle Shoals and created a timeless album full of rhythm, Funk and Soul. Albert will also tour throughout next year, and his dynamic, engaging personality combined with Blues musicianship at its finest, has created an enduring, loyal fan base worldwide.

Dirty Shirley (Video Of The Day) is a new band project featuring guitarist George Lynch (The End Machine, KXM, Lynch Mob, ex-Dokken) and vocalist/keyboardist Dino Jelusic (Animal Drive, Trans-Siberian Orchestra). Croatian singer Jelusic made an immediate mark in the Hard Rock and Metal scene via the 2018 debut album by his band Animal Drive, with many established musicians subsequently contacting him regarding potential collaborations. When George Lynch suggested the idea of making a record together, Frontiers became the natural label home for their project. The resulting band and album 'Dirty Shirley', due to be released on Friday 24th January next year - named after one of the first songs they wrote together - covers a wide spectrum of styles, with classic Metal to more ‘traditional’ Lynch Mob oriented sounds and even some hints of the first 'Badlands' album in the mix. Showcasing a stunning performance from Lynch - a seemingly bottomless pit of inspired and creative guitar playing - and a virtuoso vocal performance from Jelusic, 'Dirty Shirley' is a 'must listen' for Hard Rock and Metal fans, with Evanescence drummer Will Hunt rounding out the group line-up.

Not only did we raise another £1,000 for our nominated charities last night - The Friends Of Carlton Centre and Celebrations Theatrical Group - but it was also a brilliant night of music with sponsored classic Rock covers from the fantastic Replicants and exceptional sets from both Jamie & The Jets 'Don't Shoot Me, I'm Not Really Elton John' Show, plus Status Quo tribute act Just Supposin’ who captured the raw energy and excitement of the original ‘Frantic Four’. We therefore would like to thank all of you that have supported Wrinklystock 8 - and in particular our helpers, members, sponsors/donors, advertisers, all those that kindly donated raffle prizes, The Mick Jagger Centre and the bands. Anyway, with more pics to come - check out today's Video/Track Of The Day, ‘Keep Music Live’ and here’s to Wrinklystock 9.

"Motorhead's Phil Campbell guested on the haunting 'The Watcher', a Lemmy penned song originally from the 1972 ‘Doremi Fasol Latido’ album, also featured on the first Motorhead album. The rendition at this gig was less heavy than the original, with more keyboards to the fore and lighter airy vocals by Martin. At the previous night’s gig in Guildford, Eric Clapton guested on this one and stayed on stage for the rest of the set! Campbell stayed on for one more song, the classic 'Silver Machine'. An intoxicating anthem that has us all singing along! Lead vocal was handled by Chadwick, who did a reasonable job of it, despite having almost lost his voice due to a cold!" Today read the whole of Steven C. Gilbert's take on Hawkwind at The Royal Albert Hall in London on Tuesday 26th November here, plus check out our Video Of The Day.

The big day/night has finally arrived - yes it's Wrinklystock VIII with £20 tickets still available on the door tonight from The Mick Jagger Centre Box Office, Dartford!

See you there!

"And my goodness was my Faith restored by the sensational singing talent that is Sari Schorr. Is it just me, or does she not boast the same vocal range and power of Rock Goddess Tina Turner? I have not seen or read this comparison elsewhere but to me it seems blindingly obvious! She similarly has great self-effacing charm and keeps the audience in her spell. 'Demolition Man' certainly broke the crowd into a vibrant and soulful set. 'Maybe I’m Foolin' sparks a debate as to whether it’s “Maybe I’m Fallin’” and the Funk workout of the old standard 'I Just Wanna’ Make Love To You' finishes off the job, with Ash Wilson (yes the same guitarist from the opening) and Stevie Watts, on Keyboards, demonstrating their chops. I swear, I even recognised some 'Billie Jean' beats going on at one point." Today read the whole of Ivan De Mello's take on Sari Schorr at The Water Rats in London on Monday 4th November here, plus check out our Video Of The Day.
