British singer/songwriter Matt Mitchell & The Coldhearts support both Hollowstar and Florence Black at London's O2 Academy2 Islington tonight, following the release of their self titled group debut album 'Black Diamonds', which was released in February. Not one to hold back with his writing and performance, the former Furyon and Colour Of Noise frontman describes the title track (today's Video Of The Day) as being about an “inevitable ending”, and consequently the songs on the album reflect real human experience, passion and great songs that hold potency, diversity and purpose. It's a modern contemporary Rock record that holds its own and then some; it digs deep and looks set to be a highlight of the year for Rock music. 'Black Diamonds' was voted Number One in Louder's 'Tracks Of The Week' and received extensive airplay by the likes of Planet Rock, Kerrang! Radio, Great Music Stories and more.

"As is often the case, Bigfoot saved the best till last: their set finished with the first single taken from their album, ‘The Fear’, a dark and frantic song about how the fear in our heads can take over our lives. ‘The Fear’ mixes heavy in your face Rock guitar with searing melodic anthems and big, uplifting vocals – a fitting finale to a compelling set and an awesome evening of complementary Rock music." That was part of our take on Bigfoot at London's Underworld back in October 2017 (pictured), and they return to the same Camden venue tonight in support of The Treatment and Bexatron, in advance, sadly, of their September farewell tour. Make sure you catch them while you can!

German Hardcore/Metal band Tausend Lowen Unter Feinden release their new album on Friday 14th June. 'Zwischenwelt' is a concept album about the impermanence of transience. The protagonist feels trapped in the present as in an intermediate world. He is confronted with the ills of society, the arrogance of humanity and a progressive change that goes beyond the limits of the comprehensible for the individual. He struggles to position his person in the immediate and extended living space. In his search for the original meaning of human existence, he filters the values that are essential to him. Finally, the acceptance of transience and non-existent power over life leads him to a consciousness level of mindfulness. 'Zwischenwelt' is the consistent, musical development of TLUF and is characterized by a distinctive sound. Gloomy, socially critical, demanding as well as hopeful and optimistic at the same time.

"Sporting 5-inch heels and a slit skirt with a flat as an ironing board bare midriff, her long blonde hair falling around her shoulders, the guitarist presented a powerful visual image, which was backed up by equally impressive musical chops. She certainly knew her way around the fretboard of her various Stratocasters, playing fluid and lightning fast runs. While her influences may have originated in the Blues, almost none of the songs she played had a standard Blues chord structure. ‘Can You Stand the Heat’, the title track of her 2013 album, and ‘Object of Obsession’, set the scene for the rest of the evening - funky beats and a busy bassline with the two-man horn section bang on the money with their brass stabs and tight riffs, over which Ana played some flowing, extended lead lines." Read the whole of Simon Green's Ana Popovic gig review at London's Borderline from Saturday 11th May here, plus check out our Photo Gallery here and our Video Of The Day.
