Today's Video Of The Day features Die Grune Welle (The Green Wave) whose new album 'Wirf dein Leben weg!' is out on Friday 1st November. Combining Punk Rock and German Rap, Haiko (vocals, bass), Locke (rap), Alvin (guitar, vocals) and Leon (drums), manage to skillfully add elements from other genres like Indie and Ska to this already explosive mix. And the icing on the cake is saxophonist Lizzy with her cleverly thought out contributions. The lyrics are mainly presented by keeping German Rap parts in the verse and having the chorus in an anthemic and sing-along-like style, which you won’t get out of your head. Always staying true to the Punk Rock ideal, Die Grune Welle sing about (personal) crises of meaning and politics - never slowing down and nonstop straight into the ears of the inclined listener.

With ‘The Beast Inside’, released last Friday, and today's Track of The Day, Dawn Of Destiny finally return with an album which must be considered the highlight of their career so far. The band have always been too diverse to fully be represented by the moniker ‘Power Metal’, even though their sound is rooted in this genre. The mixture of Melodic Metal, musical-inspired passages and at times darker approach, not to forget Jeanette Scherff’s great vocal delivery, make Dawn Of Destiny a quite unique entity in today’s music landscape. Jens Faber, band leader, songwriter, guitarist and bass player, has a special gift of writing songs which are exciting and surprising, with creativity far from the beaten path. Consisting also of Dirk Raczkiewicz - keyboards and Philipp Bock - drums, this is what also makes their seventh album such an adventure. It’s a rollercoaster ride, from catchy tracks like ‘Already Dead’ or the infectious ‘Fight Your Inner Demons’, ending with the beautiful piano ballad ‘Longing’.

Wonk Unit, the unique Punk phenomenon born out of the South London town of Croydon, return with a new single ‘Cyclists’ (today's Video Of The Day) that furthers the bands inimitable take on Punk Rock, and finds them this time taking aim at selfish cyclists. The band are now on their ninth album, curate ‘Wonkfest’, their own successful festival and are fuelled by their own super-proactive DIY ethos and individual sound, artwork and imagery. The roots of Wonk Unit stretch back to 1992 with a band called The Flying Medallions who were young, dumb and up for fun, courting chaos and controversy at a time when Punk was very much dead in the UK. Wonk Unit formed in 2005 and have since created their own ever-expanding peerless world of sound, colour, art and friendship. A creation that is inclusive to all… unless you ride two abreast in front of them when they’re trying to get to a festival, that is.

"For the sake of German/Russian relations, Semkina dedicated the quirky 'Matches', with Kolyadin's outstanding bar room piano vibe, to Germany's Riverside fans! This was the first of three songs taken from 'Lighthouse' which won Album of the Year at the 2016 Progressive Music Awards, the others being the Mike Oldfield/Steven Wilson influenced eargasm 'Sleeping Pills' plus 'Libretto Horror' - Marjana sitting down on the stage after her Enya like vocal, admiring the band's intense tango feel outro. It was now time to debut the new album. In fact, to be precise, they played 80% of 'The Bell', beginning with the gorgeous, artful, haunting, powerful and melancholic 'Freak Show', which, understandably, was well received by the very hot, but appreciative audience. Semkina covered her eyes to see into said crowd, before her sweet vocal hit the spot on 'Sleeping Beauty', which melded into 'Blue Sea', which saw Marjana picking up her acoustic guitar for the first time, consequently dueting with her guitarist on this stunningly beautiful composition."

To coincide with the release of his new album 'Roll With The Punches', UK Roots artist Martin Harley stops off on his current headline European Tour at London’s Union Chapel tonight, supported by Anna Pancaldi (Video Of The Day). Having created a deep impression on the Acoustic Blues Roots and Americana scene with his last two Nashville recorded albums, his highly anticipated new record finds a more electric, band driven direction. Recorded in a remote chapel, deep in the wilds of Pembrokeshire, this is a truly intimate and gritty analogue album. The album features Harley's trademark fine songwriting, with Country Blues riffs and electric bottleneck slide guitar aplenty. All of this served with sweet vocal harmonies over the driving rhythms of co-producer and drummer Harry Harding, award-winning Australian bassist Rex Horan and Hammond maestro Jonny Henderson adding extra sparkle on six of the tracks.

"Final co-headliner Collateral, in contrast, are a four piece consisting of drums, electric guitar, bass guitar and a vocalist. With baritone/tenor elements, the singer had a fantastic presence about him and drew the audience in to him at the start of the performance, opening with a number that was well known to his audience and was a signal of intent from the band that they meant business. Musically, brilliant, not a foot wrong with songs moving from one to the other with few stops between numbers. Looking out onto the audience they were drawn into the music and were smiling, singing, nodding heads to the music, hands in the air with “rock” symbols. The introduction of the electro-acoustic guitar was a welcome change in timbre and mood as most of the evening was electric guitar orientated. A good repertoire with a strong following meant this band was one of the highlights of an amazing evening." Today read the whole of music teacher Chris Higgins' debut gig review here of Saturday night's final date of Piston (pictured) and Collateral's Stand Up, Shout It Out co-headline tour at Archway's The Lounge (formerly Club Kolis) in London, which also saw great support from Sons Of Liberty.
