"Thank you to our dear friend 'Mother' over at Wrinkly Rockers Club for his super review of 'Vambo'! ''The new offering is a remarkably sophisticated collection of work with unexpected diversity and a huge maturity for a young band. And importantly still has the excitement of a freshman offering. The production is excellent, courtesy of Ray Stiles (Mud/The Hollies), which is evident as the album wends its way through assorted influences.'' That was Vambo's very kind Facebook response to our recent review of their self-titled debut CD here, and the guys are playing a free album launch party in London at Camden's The Monarch tonight supported by Miguel Montalban.

"Goodbye June are a family-affair formed by three cousins in the wake of the tragic death of the lead guitarist’s Tyler Baker’s brother who passed away in the month of June. There is no mistaking their Nashville roots from their bourbon-soaked sound to their Country music-inspired leather with tassels attire. But this isn’t sentimental Country, this is music with a harder edge and Loudon Milbourn high-octane vocal style could compete with Axl Rose when it comes to scale and pitch." Today read the whole of Ivan De Mello's Goodbye June and Wolf Jaw (pictured) review at London's Colours in Hoxton from Tuesday 29th October here plus check out our Video Of The Day and our updated Photo Gallery here.

StoneWire released their long-awaited album 'Life As We Know It' at the beginning of this month, and following their performance at Hard Rock Hell 13 last weekend, they are not only playing Islington's Hope & Anchor tonight, but are also returning to London on Saturday 7th December at The Cavern. The band draw from many wells - fusing elements of Classic Rock, Blues and Southern Rock to create a melting pot of addictive melody and biting riffs. Together, frontwoman Sky Hunter's soaring powerhouse Rock vocals and gravely Blues tones and StoneWire's conscious whole-band chemistry and synergy, all give the brew a distinctive tang that has built up their fan following. Sky is complemented by Gaz Annable – guitar, Duncan Greenway – guitar, Steve Briggs - bass and Rob Glasner – drums.

Sick Joy's single ‘Vibe Sucker’, which is today's Track Of The Day, was the second track to be taken from their 'Them Days' EP released mid-September, and the band are currently on an extensive run of dates, which includes London's Camden Assembly tonight. Meanwhile, The Good Old Boys (pictured), an All-Star band, originally formed as a vehicle to play live Rock 'n' Blues whenever their members were free from touring with their own bands, are playing The Eel Pie Club, The Patch, 67 London Road, Twickenham TW1 3SZ, tonight. Doors open at 8.15pm with music from 9-11pm. WRC members are reminded that they can use their cards to get discounted admission.

Due to be released on Friday 6th December, 'Radiocarbon’ is the ninth studio album by Swedish Melodic Hard Rock act House Of Shakira (today's Video Of The Day). With Pontus Norgren (of Hammerfall) on production duties, it shows them operating at the top of their game. Originally formed in Stockholm in the early 1990’s, House Of Shakira have a unique sound that stands out amongst other bands in their genre as they craft Melodic Hard Rock of the highest quality with vocals that soar, melodies that rise and guitars that link everything together, making for a great listening experience. The diversity of their music and lyrics means that the band do not fall under the standard classification of Hard Rock and they have a truly cross-genre Rock appeal. Their motto is to “try every idea with an open mind", meaning that each member of the group contributes their personal ideas: writing the lyrics, rhythm patterns, chord changes and crafting those special melodies.

"The stand out track for mine from 'Backroad Symphony', and for me personally, it was worth paying the fiver to hear this on its own, even though we missed part of it. Even if it was good for us that Dee Rock was on first, the unfortunate flip side, I suppose, understandably, was the number of punters there to see them. Although those lucky enough to witness their set, immediately warmed to the USA/UK seven piece consisting of the cowboy hatted, dreadlocked and shades wearing Dee on guitar and vocals, more than ably supported by guitar, bass, keys, violin, drums and backing vocals/tambourine. The all too short set also included the Southern Rockin' 'Ripples On The Moon' from his 2010 album 'The Road Ain't Long' and the inspirational 'Southern Summer Night', the soulful 'Long Way Home' and the native American roots Rock of 'Wild Mustang', all from his latest album, plus also the heartfelt 'Other Side', which Dee poignantly dedicated to a dear friend of his." Today read the whole of AJ's Dee Rock and Brian Downey's Alive & Dangerous reviews from Camden's The Dublin Castle and The Underworld respectively here from last Thursday plus check out our respective Photo Galleries here and here.

Today's Rock On The Ridge Track Of The Day includes music from Palace Of The King, Laura Cox, Electric Black, Quiet Riot, Goodbye June, The Rocket Dolls (pictured), In Flames, Scorpions, Buckcherry, Small City Blues, Ozzy Osbourne, Tygers Of Pan Tang, Rival Sons, Wayward Sons, Jeff Lynne, GK 1974, Seven Past Sunset, Far Suns Fall, Empty Trail, Dirty Honey, Sweet Crisis, Small Town Titans and on their Introducing Stage, two in a row from Building Giants.

"Kenny Wayne Shepherd's set lasted just over two hours from opening track 'Woman Like You', a cover of Buffalo Springfields' 'Mr. Soul' through a seriously rocking setlist that included his version of 'Voodoo Child'. Nice." That was our take on Kenny Wayne Shepherd on the Outlaw Stage at this year's Ramblin' Man Fair in July, and KWS returns to the South of England tonight, halfway through his November UK tour at London's O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire, following the release of his new album ‘The Traveler' via Provogue, in May earlier this year.

Today's Blues On The Radio Track Of The Day features new music from Marcus King (pictured), Sayer & Joyce, Marco Cinelli & Danny del Toro, Connie Lush, Joe Bonamassa, Biscuit Miller and The Mix, Kathryn Hobgood Ray, The Lewis Hamilton Band, Miss Bix & The Blues Fix, Boogaloo Grey Cooper and Billy Price, not forgetting a couple of tracks from Black Market III ahead of their show tonight at The Tuesday Night Music Club, The Comrades Club, Coulsdon CR5 2NF.

"Penultimate act, and truly an icon, is German songstress and iron maiden, Doro. It is no stretch to call the blonde bombshell the queen of Heavy Metal. Dressed to seduce in classic black leather and studs, the most notable thing of Doro's look is not the glamour, the Rock outfit or the dark eye make up, it's the warm smile and total enthusiasm. We are watching an artist who really knows her game. The lyrics won't win any awards, its typical fist pumping stuff with repetition and chanting the name of the game. She exhorts the crowd to raise their fists, in her Teutonic lilt, which the gladly do. It would be like pantomime if it wasn't so Shakespearean. 'Night Of The Warlock' is a theatrical masterpiece." Today read the whole of Mother's Hard Rock Hell 13 Day 3 review here from Great Yarmouth on Saturday night, plus check out our Video Of The Day plus our updated Photo Gallery here.

"Penultimate band on stage 1 are the fabulous Gun. All dressed in black, the Glaswegian rockers are another seasoned, professional, tight and frankly just brilliant five piece. The Gizzi brothers - Dante on vocals and Jools on guitar - are just damn cool. Dante's infectious smile is picked up by the now rammed audience and his banter, in that broad Clydeside accent, is so easy on the ear. Not something you often hear said about the Glaswegian drawl. The tempo and the temperature soar as hit after hit are poured out from their forthcoming greatest hits album. Hits like 'Don't Say It's Over', 'Welcome To The Real World' and 'Steal Your Fire' showcasing over 30 years of Rocking. Another regular of the festival scene, their superb set is only marred by some VIP based altercation that sees Dante visibility upset by the unnecessary fracas. As a Glaswegian, you don't need to see your home sport on your travels. He's a man of loving life and tonight we all loved it with him. Well, most of us anyway."
