Hot on the heels of storming sets at both Rebellion and Boomtown Festivals, today's Video Of The Day is eclectic Kent Punks Riskee and The Ridicule's new single – ‘Cut Your Teeth’ – from their recently released ‘Body Bag Your Scene’ album via Bomber Music. An aggro, full-on sonic assault, ‘Cut Your Teeth’ is the perfect representation of the driving force behind Riskee and The Ridicule and where they’re at in 2019. It’s been an amazing year for the band, which saw the highly anticipated release of their third album well received by both fans and critics alike - a record that holds a mirror to the world with simultaneously acerbic and humourous analysis. You can also catch the band live at various dates from August to November including London's Electric Ballroom in Camden on Saturday 2nd November.

"To sum the festival up in one word, I feel awesome is as close as I can think of, it really is superb production seeing as the organisers are relatively in their festival organising infancy. The Newark Showground venue is very well located, close to the A1. The land is very flat and you can park your car on a concrete strip, which what was maybe an old airfield runway, so you will never be stuck in the mud. To top that, you are only metres away from your tent as the camping field runs alongside the disused runway, plus some of the food bars are on the same strip and the stage is around 200 metres from the campsite. It is fantastically compact, but there is more than ample space for decent sized tents without the sardines feeling. The volunteers have so much common sense, none of those little Hitlers and power mad jobsworths that you get at larger festivals, or the type of security that want to strip search you instead of just looking in your bag." With a Photo Gallery to come, today read the whole of Tony Burgum's Stonedeaf Festival review from the Newark Showground from Saturday here.

"The short version of this album review is: brilliant! Go out and buy/download it etc. immediately! Being the son of a famous musician doesn’t guarantee that you’ll be any good with an instrument or avoid having a tin ear, but in the case of Devon Allman, son of Gregg Allman, and Duane Betts, son of Allman Brothers’ guitarist Dicky Betts, the apples have fallen very close to the tree, and despite this being a debut album, this fine collection of songs display a real maturity; while sounding as fresh as any contemporary Blues influenced record, it also manages to sound like it could have been recorded sometime during the early to mid-70’s." Read the whole of Simon Green's The Allman Betts Band's 'Down To The River' CD review here which was released last month, plus check out today's Video Of Of The Day.

Outstanding German Melodic Metal six-piece Mob Rules, whose ninth studio album, ‘Beast Reborn’, was hugely acclaimed on release last Summer, are set to unleash their first live album for fourteen years, ‘Beast Over Europe’, on Steamhammer/SPV on Friday 13th September. The album contains fourteen of the band’s best songs, recorded at select venues on the band’s ‘Beast Reborn’ tour around Europe (including the UK - with Eden’s Cursein April), fittingly celebrating Mob Rules 25th Anniversary. Having just released the aforementioned milestone ‘Beast Reborn’ album (which crashed into the German National album chart at 37), ‘Beast Over Europe’ totally captures the uplifting, powerful vibes generated as Mob Rules romped round Europe, tearing their audience off their feet at every gig. Signifying that close connection with their followers, Mob Rules included their fans in the design process of the new live album artwork when they made an online call to share favourite photos from concerts or experiences with the band from over the last two years.

The Oklahoma Kid's new single 'Feed Me Fear' is today's Track Of The Day, and is taken from their upcoming full-length debut record 'Solarray', which will be available on Friday 13th September via Arising Empire. The band stand for breathtaking modern Metal that bridges the gap between technical intricacy and energizing rhythms. Since their formation in 2012, the band - consisting of Tomm Brümmer - vocals, Fred Stölzel - guitars, Andreas Reinhard - guitars, Robert Elfenbein - bass and David J. Burtscher - drums - has consistently pushed the envelope and have established their foundation in the German Metal scene. To coincide with the upcoming album, the band also have their own German headline tour in September with support from Unprocessed, plus later in September they are joint special guests with Venues on the comeback shows of label mates Vitja.

Cited as one of the UK’s friendliest Rock festivals, and filling the void of a one day, one stage Rock festival, so lacking in the UK, Stonedeaf 2019 followed up its monster success last year with a bang at the Newark Showground yesterday, thanks to headliner Glenn Hughes supported by Geoff Tate, Inglorious, Wayward Sons, Massive, Diamond Head (photo Phil Clarke), The Amorettes, Phil Campbell And The Bastard Sons and Samarkind. Anyway, with a review and Photo Gallery to come, check out today's Samarkind Video Of The Day.

Sinner have certainly succeeded in living up to their own standards on their new album, 'Santa Muerte', scheduled for release on AFM/Soulfood on Friday 13th September. Artists such as Mat Sinner, who’s kept his band on target for more than 35 years, releasing well over a dozen studio albums (plus a number of live recordings and compilations), have got to be doing a lot of things right. The success of the German Heavy Metal act is based, last but not least, on its boss’s talent for unwaveringly sticking to his chosen course while never losing his passion for new challenges. Consequently, they have delivered another outstanding album, recorded by a line-up consisting of guitarist/co-composer Tom Naumann and Alex Scholpp as well as drummer and new addition Markus Kullmann (ex-Voodoo Circle). Sinner also take the new album out on the German road for various dates in September and October.

Modern Rock has just been delivered a massive shot in the arm! Silverthorne features the soaring powerhouse vocals of Englishman Pete Shoulder and drummer Brian Tichy, who has played with everyone from Whitesnake, Ozzy, Slash, Billy Idol, Foreigner and many more legendary artists. Along with bassist Daniel Spree, Silverthorne have delivered a monstrous debut single in the shape of 'Tear The Sky Wide Open' which is today's Track Of The Day. With its ominous riff, huge chorus, driving bass, weighty drums and a groove that evokes the vast expanse of the Southern California canyons from where the band was born, the single has already got fans salivating. With influences ranging from deep Blues to Hard Rock, and acoustic Folk to Metal, 'Tear The Sky Wide Open' is just a taste of the soulful and earthy Rock songs to be found on Silverthorne’s forthcoming debut EP. Music that tips its hat to the Classic Rock bands of yesteryear as well as looking firmly to the future.

The Defiants are back with their second album, ‘Zokusho’ on Friday 13th September, and today's Track Of The Day, 'Hollywood In Headlights', is taken from the album. Comprised of Paul Laine (vocals, guitar), Bruno Ravel (bass) and Rob Marcello (guitar), fans in the know will immediately recognise that these three fabulous musicians all have ties to popular Hard Rockers Danger Danger. With their debut record having been rapturously greeted as a glorious return to the in your face Melodic Hard Rock that enraptured millions of fans back in the 80’s and 90’s, and is currently enjoying a renaissance, making a follow-up was a no-brainer. ’Zokusho’, a Japanese word meaning ‘sequel’ or ‘the next chapter’, is a big Melodic Rock album with huge choruses, hooks, soaring guitars and vocals that has all the ingredients to thrill fans of both The Defiants and Danger Danger. The album also features Steve West of Danger Danger on drums.

"London, thank you so much" Hughes cried out at he left the stage, once again to rapturous applause. As Staffordshire's finest so eloquently put it on the night: "Stand up for Rock music. It's not going anywhere. It's in this room. It's living, breathing, feeling it, sweating it. Seeing it, talking it, playing it and forever hold its peace." On tonight's evidence Glenn, thanks for practicing what you preach and for keeping Rock music very much alive and arse-kicking!" That was part of our take on Glenn Hughes at London's Electric Ballroom back in October 2018 (pictured and today's Video Of The Day), and headliner Hughes completes a mouthwatering line-up at Stonedeaf 2019 today at the Newark Showground supported by Geoff Tate, Inglorious, Wayward Sons, Massive, Diamond Head, The Amorettes, Phil Campbell And The Bastard Sons and Samarkind.

At 2pm today, the Nigel Bagge band take to the stage at Blues At Barleylands, Barleylands Social Club, Barleylands Road, Billericay, Essex CM11 2UF.
