The Mission’s Simon Hinkler is due to release his 'Moving On' EP on Friday 7th September on Correctitude Records. Simon was originally with The Mission for five years, through the first four albums, the chart hits, the extensive world tours, and the general insanity. He left in 1990 and went on to write solo pieces and soundtrack music, before releasing his second album under the name of "The Wing Commander" in 1992. The following three years were spent with a three-piece electronic band Mindfeel, before disappearing to the desert in New Mexico. It wasn't until 2005 that Simon re-appeared with his solo album 'Lose The Faith'. Since then he has returned to live in the UK after thirteen years in the US and reunited with The Mission for their 25th anniversary followed by a celebrated run of world tours, two new albums, a 30th anniversary, and most recently guesting on Alice Cooper’s five UK arena shows. Now, with the band taking a break, here is a varied collection of Simon’s songs spanning those years living in the back of beyond.

Crystal Viper is a female fronted Heavy Metal act from Poland, founded in 2003 by the singer, guitarist and composer, Marta Gabriel. Between 2007 and 2013 they released five studio albums, seven singles and compilations, and toured in more than fifteen countries, establishing their position as one of the most hard working and most determined bands of their generation. The band returned in 2017 with 'Queen Of The Witches' - probably their strongest and best release, but at the end of June this year Marta and her crew proved that they are stronger than ever as they struck back with a special, limited edition EP entitled 'At The Edge Of Time' of which the title track is today's Track Of The Day.

"It was also good to hear from WRC member Rob "Did you catch Pat McManus in the Blues tent? What a gem! To my shame I have never heard this man play before yesterday. As the man said "I was born between Rory Gallagher and Gary Moore... so I was ****ed!" Wasted at the early performance, could have closed the main stage in my opinion. Great festival and the sun smiled!" We couldn't agree more Rob!" Taken from our July 2016 News Archive following Ramblin' Man Fair, we're once again indebted to another WRC member Marlene Rivet for today's Video Of The Day, taken at Pat's Binningen, Switzerland gig in March - his powerful three piece Blues/Rock Trio, of course headed up by the former “Mama’s Boys’ and ‘Celtus’ guitarist/violinist virtuoso and true gent AKA ‘The Professor’.

Sari Schorr's highly anticipated new album 'Never Say Never' has a special album release show at London's The Borderline on Friday 14th September! Over the last 18 months, Sari has travelled from a loft apartment in New York, to a finca in Spain, lived over a bakery in Bath, on to a factory in Germany, stayed for a while at a sheep farm in Wales, stopped off at a holiday chalet in Skegness, then to a gîte in France and finally to a barn in Norfolk. In each place she has set down her suitcase, full of half-written songs, met up with amazing musicians, writers and producers and finished her second album. It has been a long, hard journey, full of trials and tribulations, full of tears, full of joy, full of laughter, full of friendship, but most of all, totally worthwhile. We're sure you'll agree!

Germany’s hottest young Rock band The New Roses embark on an 11-date UK Headline Tour in November and December including London's The Underworld on Thursday 29th November. Special guests on the tour are British Hard Rock band Departed, except for the shows in Carlisle (Heartbreak Remedy), Newcastle (Saints Of Arcadia) and Southampton (Voodoo Vegas), plus The Brink. The band from the beautiful German region of Rheingau had their ultimate breakthrough when their second album ‘One More For The Road’ climbed into the Top 20 of the German Official Album Charts in 2017. The New Roses’ song ‘Without A Trace’ was featured on the soundtrack of the US cult series Sons Of Anarchy and was chosen as the official song for the German DVD trailer campaign. The band is often compared to Guns ’N Roses, AC/DC, Kid Rock, Aerosmith, Metallica or The Black Crowes but with their own unique Rock and Roll style. This year the band already toured Germany and France, were special guests on The Dead Daisies European tour and will play more than 30 festivals this summer including Sweden Rock, Open Road Fest, Matapaloz, Rock Of Ages and Rock Hard Festival.

Tom Harte is a songwriter from Northern Ireland, and he has played with some of the great Rock bands of the present day, including Foo Fighters, Black Stone Cherry, Thin Lizzy, Airbourne, Thunder and many more.... You would normally find Tom performing on tours and festivals across UK and Europe with Northern Irish Rocker's Trucker Diablo, but is now dipping his toe in the water of solo songwriting, delivering heart felt melancholic songs inspired by real life stories. On this occasion he has dialled the gain down to zero to release some solo acoustic songs. His first EP 'Life, Love and Everything in Between', released at the end of June, is made up of four simple songs that showcase his song writing skills and connection to the music. Anyway, enjoy today's Video Of The Day 'Prison Walls'.
