Up-and-coming, five-piece London Rockers At The Sun will release their rip-roaring debut album ‘Leave Before the Light’ on Friday 8th March next year. To herald this, the band have just released ‘Soak It Up’ as a single along with a video which is today's Video Of The Day. The band are five, talented, music-loving London guys, committed to mixing up heavy dirty guitars, pounding rhythms, soaring vocals and ripping solos. At The Sun was formed by rhythm guitarist Kieron Heavens and bass player Alex Matthews, who set out to bring together the finest musicians they could find to make music with lasting substance. After a long (and often frustrating!) search for the right line-up, Harry Dale (vocals), Chet Jogia (lead guitar) and Craig Steen (drums) joined Kieron and Alex, releasing their debut 4-track EP ‘Breathe’ in 2017, gaining radio play on the likes of Ridge Radio, Planet Rock, Hard Rock Hell and Total Rock. The release of ‘Leave Before the Light’ will be followed by a headline tour, which will be the band’s biggest tour yet, although you can catch them before then, headlining London's Fiddler's Elbow in Chalk Farm on Sunday 2nd December.

Wille & The Bandits will release their new album 'Paths' on Friday 1st February next year, encapsulating the excitement and gusto of Rock ’n’ Roll. The album is a breath of fresh air challenging the listener while embracing technology and instrumental possibilities that are afforded to musicians in current times. To support its release, the band will also tour the UK in March 2019. Wille & The Bandits adopts the musical essence, nostalgia and discovery of the late 60's and 70's and mix Rock and Roll with a more modern approach, combining elements of world music, dance music and Hip-Hop creating something truly unique.

Today's Video Of The Day is 3Sixty, a new, Classic-Rock style band, who released their debut album '#truestories' earlier this year, based on the songwriting partnership of vocalist Mark Grimmett and lead guitarist Nick Singleton. The band, also featuring Russell Simon (guitar), Mat Gill (bass) and Mark Simon (drums), spent most of last year recording the album in-between live shows. It was recorded not only by Dave Draper in Tower Studios, but also by Grimmett in his own studio, and was mixed by Simon Jewel. Following a performance at the Wychwood Festival on the BBC Introducing stage they were offered a live recording and broadcasting BBC session. Presenter, Andrew Marston, described 3Sixty as “Memorable cutting edge Rock, delivered with real soul and passion.”

French synthwave icon Carpenter Brut is playing London's Forum in Kentish Town tonight, hot on the heels of the release of his critically acclaimed new album 'Leather Teeth' - the soundtrack of a dark coming-of-age film, pulling together dirty synthesizers, stomping rave beats and big Rock riffs. The album follows the story of Bret Halford, an introverted science student. Support is from US electronic Metallers GosT plus Carpenter Brut also play Bristol (tomorrow) and Manchester (Wednesday).

Not only have Goodbye June announced that their EP 'Secrets In The Sunset' comes out this Friday 26th October, but they have also revealed that they’ll playing Camden's Black Heart on Tuesday 13th November following their three nights just up the road at London's The Forum supporting longterm friends Greta Van Fleet throughout their forthcoming UK tour. The Nashville trio of cousins Landon Milbourn (vocals), Brandon Qualkenbush (rhythm guitar, backing vocals) and Tyler Baker (lead guitar), have quietly emerged at the forefront of the 21st century Rock vanguard. In the wake of their 2017 full-length debut 'Magic Valley', the boys earned the endorsement of Rolling Stone, contributed 'Liberty Mother' to a high-profile Budweiser campaign, packed shows across the US and racked up 30 million-plus cumulative Spotify streams. An avalanche of rip-roaring Rock ‘n’ Roll, Southern-fried Blues, and Gospel Soul, the group traverse their own lane at full speed, etching out a place ahead of the pack.

Ariel Posen of Bros. Landreth fame will be releasing his much anticipated debut album, 'How Long', early next year, and he will also be undertaking his first major headline tour of the UK in February. Canadian Posen's long-awaited solo debut, showcases not only his chops as an instrumentalist, but his talents as a diverse songwriter, too. The record casts a wide net, moving from rootsy Blues to R&B to Melodic Rock & Roll. A co-writer and producer for artists of all genres, Posen shows the full range of his talents on these 10 tracks including today's Track Of The Day 'Fade', nodding to his influences - including The Beatles, Stevie Ray Vaughan, John Mayer and more - along the way. 'How Long' is not a guitar record, although there's certainly plenty of guitar to be heard here. Instead, it's a song record, filled with hooks, autobiographical lyrics and Posen's compelling voice.

My Merry Machine are Rock 'n' Roll riffs and melodies between modern and alternative Metal – honest - emotional - straight in your face! The eleven songs on their new album 'Ignition', released at the beginning of this month, turn out to be varied and surprisingly mature compositions, full of power, soul and atmosphere, all the way to melancholic, covering all facets of a modern Metal band. Drummer Tim, guitarist Markus and singer Kirsten (all founding members of the Bloodflowerz) have been creatively connected again for a good year, together with bass player Georg, creating My Merry Machine: a vision, a sound and just a new and extraordinary band. Shaped, matured and grown together, the four have extensive live experience at home and abroad with numerous well-known bands on tour and on festival stages such as Mera Luna, Summerbreeze, WGT, Taubertal and Rock am Ring.

"The first set concluded with the monumental Psychedelic Prog Rock masterpiece that is ‘In Held 'Twas in I’, their magnum opus from the 1968 album ’Shine On Brightly’, also featured on the Edmonton album. This piece is constructed of five separate parts, ‘Glimpses of Nirvana’, ‘'Twas Teatime at the Circus’, ‘In the Autumn of My Madness’, ‘Look to Your Soul’ and ‘Grand Finale’. In a nutshell the nineteen minute piece is basically about the meaning of life and the journey through it. “And the Dalai Lama smiled and said, Well my son, life is like a beanstalk, isn't it?” So there you are! Well it was written in 1968! The atmosphere in the Palladium was electric and there was much love in the room. The standing ovation was much deserved." Today we have the whole of Steven C. Gilbert's review of Procol Harum's recent London Palladium gig here plus check out today's Video Of The Day.
