"Seager's 'Losing Streak', would you believe about drink and women, closes out the album, with it's cajun feel, its message being that you’re just looking for a peaceful life, but you find yourself up the creek without a paddle! Well, come on, this is the Blues! All in all, a delightful eclectic mix of Blues with not only great lyrics, but more importantly, an album that has the vibe of a live band with some killer tracks that will go down a storm at any gig - particularly their drinking songs! You know what they say - go on - in for a penny, in for a pound!" That was part of our take last year on Bad Pennies CD 'Songs From The Medway Delta' and the guys duly walked off with our 2018 WRC Best Reviewed CD award (pictured). So make you catch them in their home county of Kent when they play Sidcup's Iron Horse tonight.

The Broken Islands, play London's The Troubadour tonight, the last of their current run of UK shows. Consisting of Stephen Cameron - bass, Rachelle Boily - vocals, Kurtis Sheldan - guitar, Rachel Ashmore - keyboards, Mitchell Williams - drums and Cameron Hartl - guitar, they are a Vancouver, Canada based sextet who meld elements of ambient Pop, Shoegaze, Post-Rock, Post-Punk, Trip-Hop and Dark Wave to create their own distinct sound. With crashing guitars and delicate sounding keyboards weaving around swooning, siren-like vocals, the band’s songs can sound at times like an otherworldly sonic experience while still being packed with emotion and moments of tenderness. A well received debut album entitled ‘Wars’ was released in the Autumn of 2017, with a follow up, ‘Masquerade’, due out late Summer.

'Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken' is today's Track Of The Day, taken from Torian's latest album 'God Of Storms', released in November last year, which could also symbolize the band's history. Perseverance and unconditional faith kept the German Power Metal band in the game since its foundation in 2002, and with a lot of passion and enthusiasm, the band have achieved a remarkable status in the underground scene over the years. Now, with their fourth studio album, the band is making a quantum leap, with the group centred around singer Mark Hohlweck, never before sounding as sophisticated, infectiously catchy and hymn-like, thus ensuring that fans of Orden Ogan, Gamma Ray, Running Wild, Hammerfall and Dream Evil will especially enjoy the treasure that is ‘God Of Storms’.

"Off to the Indigo stage to catch the tail end of Ginger Wildheart's acoustic set. Ginger is a man of many acts, fronting the rocking Wildhearts but also championing a circus of assorted talents. Today sees him at his most stripped down with just an accompanying acoustic guitarist, percussionist and female co-vocalist. Watching him at ease on stage is like watching a street troubadour entertain with jokes and singalongs. His closing track 'Geordie In Wonderland' aptly describes the dreadlocked Ginger's show. Again, another excellent choice of act for this wonderful festival." That was our acoustic take on Ginger Wildheart at London's O2 Stone Free Festival in June last year and Ginger and his Wildhearts (pictured) return to London tonight to play Brixton Electric.
