Was it really way back in August 2016 that we introduced you to one of the best songs of that Summer - or in fact any Summer - namely 'Sound Of The Summer' by Jamie Porter. Then, two years ago, they followed that up with the release of their acclaimed 'Sonic Smile' album. Jamie's a musician living in North Wales, writing and playing Country Rock infused with Blues and taking them out live with his band. Anyway, the Jamie Porter Band are currently in the process of recording some new material, and have have just put out an excellent new track 'Need A Little Lovin' (Sometime)' which is today's Video Of The Day.

Brocarde is an incomparable British songstress with a singular vision. She first tasted success as a jewellery designer when her brand of unusual, alternative accessories exploded into the mainstream. But then she became disillusioned with celebrity culture and, after destroying her famous creation, set off to Los Angeles to write and record her debut album. ‘Last Supper’, the incendiary first single from the album, set for release on Good Friday 19th April, begs the listener to question their relationship with celebrity culture, social media and loved ones and asks the all-important question “What will you consume at your last supper?" Indeed, 'Last Supper’, is the first hard hitting song she wrote when she got to Los Angeles, and is a song which won’t get out of your head once it has wormed its way in, let alone a perfect introduction to Brocarde’s inspirational, arresting, matchless musical concoction.

In the meantime, check out the first song from the album, 'Miracle', featuring Jason Mraz on vocals, which is today's Video Of The Day.

The unmistakable voice of Jizzy Pearl, one of the most loved Hard Rock bands of the early 1990’s, returns to London's The Underworld in Camden tonight supported by The Brink (Track Of The Day), a band who bring new life and energy to the British Hard Rock scene with their vibrant 21st Century form of balls-to-the-wall Rock 'n Roll. Jizzy of Love/Hate returned with his highly anticipated new solo album ‘All You Need Is Soul’ in May last year, which was released via Frontiers Music Srl. They first burst onto the scene in 1990 with the debut album ‘Blackout In The Red Room’ and proceeded to take the UK by storm with Best Album of the Year from Kerrang! and Metal Hammer magazines. Playing sold out shows and opening for Skid Row, AC/DC and Dio put Love/Hate on the map. MTV hits ‘Why Do You Think They Call It Dope', ‘She’s An Angel' and the band’s follow up album ‘Wasted In America’ has ensured a loyal following to this day.

"A more Rocky feel was demonstrated on ‘Medicine Man’ (inspired by a music industry charlatan that the singer encountered, to her regret) and the big drum led groove of ‘Road I Call Home’ with its chunky chord motif. The evening closed with early recording ‘Howlin’ Wolf’ - a song inspired by Janis Joplin; musical inspirations clearly acknowledged. A superb performance that left the crowd happy and, judging by the long queue to meet the singer and buy some merch’ after the show, further consolidated her growing fanbase."

"Been So Long’ has that really early Quo (Yes, Status) style before they went out and out twelve-bar blues, whilst ’Stranger in Hell’ takes us down tempo with an open a beer and chill mode. ’Something On My Mind’ picks us up kind of Hillbilly in it’s manner, while the closing track ‘Went Out Walking’ rocks with the harmonica/filtered vocal only tune, cleverly bringing us to an end. While I may direct this to the mid-week Blues and Roots Club goers - it can easily be appealing any day or mood of the week. Get on it people!" Read the whole of Geoff C's Trevor Babajack Steger 'Sawdust Man' CD review here plus check out our Track Of The Day.
