"A couple of brilliantly well-crafted and stand out songs from the new 'Never Say Never' album, ‘King Of Rock And Roll’ and ‘Thank You’, thundered in with total conviction and were performed with pure adrenalised energy and fervent passion. Volcanic vocals erupted and poured from Sari like molten lava! Spell binding stuff! It is plain to see that Schorr is at one with the music, inhabiting every song. It is also abundantly clear that she means every word she sings, her honest and sincere delivery exemplifies this." Today read the whole of Steven C. Gilbert's Sari Schorr (Video Of The Day) and Mike Vernon & The Mighty Combo London Borderline review from last Friday night here.

On Wednesday night Big Boy Bloater and The LiMiTs walked on to Camden's Black Heart stage in London to the strains of 'Blake's 7' (yes really) and departed seventeen wonderful songs later, leaving his audience (as per the name of his Reggae track from his 2012 album 'The World Explained') feeling 'Insanely Happy'. It was not only a night of great music, but also one, not unexpectedly, of great belly laughs as well. Anyway, with an interview and a review to come, have a gander at our Photo Gallery here which also includes Bloater's special guest Jack J. Hutchinson.

Mother’s Cake commenced a fifty date European tour in Germany last week and tonight they begin their UK leg at London's The Underworld in Camden. Formed in 2008, Mother’s Cake released their third album ’No Rhyme No Reason’ in 2017. Songs such as ‘The Killer’, ‘Black Roses’ and ’The Sun’ melded an explosive alliance of Psych, Indie and Blues Rock, while lengthier sonic excursions such as ’Streetja Man’, ‘Enemy’ and ‘H8'delved deeper with elements of Progressive and Space Rock mixed into compelling sound palettes. Sometimes compared to the likes of The Mars Volta and Jane’s Addiction, the group have also developed into a phenomenal live prospect. Extensive touring as a headline act in Austria, Germany and Switzerland, coupled with support slots further afield with AC/DC, Iggy Pop, Deftones, Wolfmother, Anathema, Pentagram and Omar Rodriguez Lopez Group, has left audiences attesting to the raw, pure energy transmitted by the band.

Halfway through their current 'Pills' UK tour - Big Bloater and The LiMiTs certainly delivered their meds at a packed and appreciative Black Heart in London's Camden last night. Supported by his old mucker Jack J. Hutchinson, Bloater's trio including Matt Cowley (drums) and Steven Oates (bass) are on the road from September to October, following the release of their latest critically acclaimed album ‘Pills’ in June. We were also lucky enough to grab a few words with the big man before his set. So with that interview, a photo gallery and a review to come - in the meantime check out today's Video Of The Day.

"This big fella has some fine chops, as well as a history of session guitar playing in his bag of tricks, that showcases why he is a regular at festivals as well as across the gamut of Blues playing radio stations. Currently touring his new album ‘Pills’, Bloater had also performed a small acoustic set to the VIP tent the previous day which raised a number of smiles. Dedicating his song ‘The Saturday Night Desperation Shuffle’ to all the ugly ones in the audience, he endeared himself to all. It’s nice when you are made to feel special." That was part of our take on Big Boy Bloater & The LiMiTsRamblin' Man Fair set in July, and as part of his current 'Pills' tour - the big man stops off at Camden's The Black Heart in London tonight.

The band upped the sonic ante with their aptly dubbed second album 'WP2', released earlier this year from Loud & Proud Records. Today's Video Of The Day - 'This Is How It Ends', also serves as the title of a comic book of the same name, created by Walking Papers’ Jeff Angell, graphic novelist Matt Hayward and artist Csaba Master. The clip features a collage of panels from the aforementioned graphic novel, giving a true visual representation of the music.

We were privileged enough to interview Martin Barre in London's West End last Monday. Best known as guitarist in Jethro Tull - one of the biggest selling Prog bands of all time - Martin releases his new solo album 'Roads Less Travelled' on Garage Records on Friday 5th October 2018. Barre has developed his own distinctive style within the framework of Jethro Tull, and his instantly recognizable and original sound form the basis of this album. 'Roads Less Travelled' features 11 original tracks by Barre, which reflect the last 50 years of his esteemed musical career. While all the songs showcase his exceptional electric guitar, acoustic guitar and mandolin playing, the Martin Barre Band also shine throughout. A long-time resident of Devon, Barre’'s band features several local musicians including Dan Crisp (vocals), Alan Thompson (bass/fretless bass), Darby Todd (drums), Becca Langsford (vocals/backing vocals), Josiah J (percussion/hammond), Aaron Graham (drums), Alex Hart (vocals/backing vocals) and Buster Cottam (“stand up” bass). Anyway, have a listen to today's Track Of The Day!

If you consider who is on the list of "Pioneering Bands of Hard Sounds" you cannot help wondering what theScandinavians mix into their mother's milk, given that the musicians from the North of Europe seemingly occupy two thirds off this ranking. And Dynazty from Stockholm are no exception. Their sixth album, 'Firesign', which will be released next Friday 28th September on AFM Records, is, according to the band's plan, getting away from the total brickwall, trying to sound slightly more organic, both production and songwriting wise. With 'Firesign', Dynazty brings a bunch of hits to the party and definitely put themselves forward as worthy candidates for the top places in the Big League of Melodic Metal.
