Check out today our Photo Gallery here (courtesy of Bruce Biege) of Big Boy Bloater & The LiMiTs London Black Heart Camden gig from Saturday night, with great support from The Bitter Pills. The fourth of a seven show tour, they played songs from their latest album ‘Pills’, which not only was voted #2 Blues Album of 2018 by Classic Rock Magazine, but also received rave reviews upon its release, as well as foot-stomping live favourites. Don't forget that you can still catch Big Boy Bloater (vocals/guitar), Matt Cowley (drums) and Steven Oates (bass) on the remainder of their tour this Thursday 25th October at The Black Bull, Gateshead, the following night at The Ice Box, Glasgow, and then finally this Saturday 27th October at The Continental, Preston.

We're once again indebted to Swiss WRC member Marlene Rivet for today's Video Of The Day, taken at Sari Schorr's LKS Linthkraft-Stiftung Glarus gig on Saturday night, before Sari heads back to the UK to complete her Never Say Never tour at The Greystones in Sheffield on Sunday 3rd November, followed by London's The Water Rats, the following night. Sari (vocals), Ash Wilson (lead guitar/vocals), Mat Beable (bass/vocals), Matthew Gest (keyboards) and Roy Martin (drums), have already been across the UK, followed by a tour in Norway, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland, which also included a live recording at the Echo Hotel Music Club show in Hook in September.

Nashville trio, Goodbye June, have recently released a new track 'Universal Mega Love', taken from their forthcoming album, 'Community Inn', which will be released via Earache Records this Friday 25th October. Consisting of cousins Landon Milbourn (vocals), Brandon Qualkenbush (rhythm guitar, backing vocals) and Tyler Baker (lead guitar), this will be the bands second album, following on from their 2017 full-length debut 'Magic Valley'. An avalanche of rip-roaring Rock ‘n’ Roll, Southern-fried Blues, and Gospel soul, the group traverse their own lane at full speed, etching out a place ahead of the pack.

Today's Track Of The Day is taken from Kadinja's new album, 'DNA' (Dedication.Nostalgia.Addiction) which was released at the end of last month with Arising Empire, and is composed of ten iconic cover songs from the late 90's/early 2000. Through this tribute record, the band added technical and modern Metal touches, for a kind of revival of Rock/Metal masterpieces. This Progressive Metal quintet was founded in Paris in 2013, the same year the band released its first self-titled EP, followed by many shows and festivals such as Lower Tuned, Tech Fest and Euroblast, with bands that are pillars of the Progressive Metal scene. Their previous album 'Super 90’, which came out in January this year, aimed to seduce a larger audience beyond the Metal scene, having more of a conceptual approach, both on the Rock side and going deeper into musical techniques.

"Actually originating from South Carolina, Hannah Wicklund and the Steppin' Stones brought the house down. It's difficult not to get carried away about band leader Hannah Wicklund’s spell-binding guitar and powerful voice which manages to invoke the spirit of Hendrix and Joplin, which has been well-documented elsewhere. Everything from the flowing tousled red hair to the extensive use of wah-wah pedal recalls that period and suggests that she was ripped straight out of Woodstock."

Check out today our Photo Gallery here (courtesy of Bruce Biege) from London's Islington's O2 Academy last Thursday night, of Wishbone Ash whose legendary twin lead guitar line-up warrants them one of the important and influential Rock bands in music history. The band recently signed to Steamhammer/SPV to release their upcoming new studio album in January 2020, with the lead single, ‘We Stand As One’, recently released in conjunction with their current, extensive, 50th Anniversary October/November UK tour. Prior to the tour, founder member, guitarist and vocalist Andy Powell, alongside guitarist Mark Abrahams and long-standing band members Bob Skeat (bass) and Joe Crabtree (drums), have been in the studio in the US applying the finishing touches to the new album.

Bristol based Indie Rock band Pompadour will release their debut EP ‘Cut To The Chase’ on Friday 15th November and new single ‘Point Blank' is today's Track Of The Day. The band was founded in early 2018 after college friends and bandmates, Tamsin Sayers (vocals, bass) and Kearney Day (guitar) left their previous band and created their own project with their best friend, Toby Holbrook (drums). Having played on the Discovery Stage at the sprawling Bristol Harbour Festival and at a flagship Nambucca, London, they have since gone on to open for touring bands in other cities and gained more fans. ‘Cut To The Chase’ features five original tracks and is indicative of their own gritty style of Melodic Indie Rock. With a headline showcase EP launch show in Bristol due to be announced in late October, the trio are excited to bring their own blend of relatable and edgy songs with a fun and alluring stage presence to all.

President Street have recently released their latest single ‘I Found Me’ which is today's Video Of The Day. Hailing all the way from Australia, President Street are a Pop-fusion collective, hellbent on making melodically Pop driven tunes, having had an epic 2019 so far, from touring the UK with their national unplugged tour to releasing a string of high energy singles. The new single takes on the lyrical narrative of enjoying life in the blossoming phase of a relationship, with singer Ruby’s commanding vocals and heavily drum driven instrumentals paving the way for a staple Pop-fusion track.

"There was just time for one encore, 'This Ain't Rufus', from the latest album, and if you closed your eyes you could just imagine Chuck Berry jumping around on the stage to this one, although when I opened them, my abiding memory was Paul Ronney's head poking out of the dressing room door with a drink in his hand! Once again, this literal larger than life performer had truly rocked the Blues, with his trademark dirty strat Roots and R&B, totally complemented by his humorous lyrics and banter. Yes, we were insanely happy!" That was part of our take on Big Boy Bloater & The LiMiTs at The Black Heart in Camden in September last year (pictured) and the big man returns to the same London venue tonight with support from The Bitter Pills (Track Of The Day).

"The penultimate track, ‘Breadhead’ is a fast paced rocker with Greaves taking charge on the vocals. A vibrant acoustic guitar intro leads into some tasty strutting electric guitar riffing which packs a good ol' punch! A song about the obsession with making loads of money! The last track on the album is ‘I Drink But I Don't Get Drunk’ which has an Americana, Cajun, Bossa Nova type vibe going on. A tantalizing piano intro gets this song under way with vibrant jabbing horns dominating the sound and an exuberant saxophone providing the main riff. Amusing lyrics about drinking! “I think when I should have thunk, I drink but I don't get drunk!” I would rate this album a good nine out of ten. Definitely one of their best. The band are currently on their Fortieth Anniversary Tour ‘Are We There Yet?’. So far seven songs from 'Avalanche' have appeared in the set, which is a good indicator of the quality of the new material." Today read the whole of Steven C. Gilbert's review of Nine Below Zero's 'Avalanche' CD here, which was released earlier this month, plus check out our Video Of The Day.
