The UK’s own Southern Rockers Sons of Liberty released ‘Aged in Oak’ (listen to today's Track Of The Day) at the end of last month on all major digital platforms - a six track EP of Hard Rocking original Southernality. Following hard on the heels of the band’s highly acclaimed debut independent release ‘Shinola’, 'Aged in Oak' sees the band at their best, refining their song craft and finding their place as unique and authentic artists, built on years of experience playing Southern Rock out on the live circuit. Like 'Shinola' the EP was recorded at Vale Studios and Engineered by the incredible Chris D’Adda. The band were also very grateful to Toby Jepson (Lightning In A Bottle) for his invaluable advice, guidance and encouragement ahead of recording 'Aged In Oak'.

To support both the release of their latest album 'Way Down Yonder' plus last month's re-issue of 2015's 'Rise To The Mountains', Hogjaw are currently on a UK tour, bringing their own brand of Southern pride and joy to cities the length and breadth of the land. And, accordingly, the rambunctious Southern Rockers stop off at London's O2 Academy Islington tonight. Hogjaw hail from Arizona and describe themselves as "Four fingers folded into a fist!": JB Jones (vocals and guitar), Jimmy Rose (lead guitar), Elvis DD (bass) & Kwall (drums). “Hard-hitting Southern fried electric Rock” is how they define their sound, although their influences are drawn from a deeper well: imagine Free, early Rainbow and Whitesnake, marinaded in Blackfoot and The Allman Brothers, then steeped in moonshine. Solid Southern Blues-Rock. Oh, and beards!

The duo that has been labeled as “The White Stripes Of Metal” are conquering the scene of heavy music worldwide. With over 600 international shows and their third full-length album 'Morph' released last month, KrashKarma from Los Angeles is steadily rising through the ranks establishing themselves as one of the hottest touring acts. Niki Skistimas (vocals, drums) and Ralf Dietel (vocals, guitars) are drawing their intensive energy from generations of Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Alternative and Punk music. The commanding sound that is driven by Ralf’s unique Frankenstein guitar/bass creation and his urgent shouts combined with Niki’s soothing but sinful voice and pounding rhythm, deliver a fresh urgency that doesn’t seem to fit into any pre-existing genres. No two-piece band has ever sounded so huge. The broad spectrum of media coverage and the consistently euphoric reviews underline that KrashKarma not only have infiltrated the scene of heavy music but continue to morph into a monster that cannot be stopped! Just check out 'Stranded' - the first video taken from 'Morph' which is today's Video Of The Day.

"The second re-imagined track is ‘Forgot to Make Her Mine’ recorded at the Power Station NYC. A nice rocky riff has made this a DRN classic and fan favourite at live shows. The bass Funk slaps away to remind us this is DRN at their best. ‘Shameless’ is a song about love and friendships that endure forever, regardless of what others perceive or judge. I often judge a track by the effect it has on my emotions rather than just on the musically content and this is a track that evokes more meaning than just the solid melodies. If I still had a tape player, maybe this one would be on my next mix tape!" Today read Chris Bourlet's complete take here on Dan Reed Network's new 'Origins' CD, which is due to be released on Friday 23rd November, of which the first single 'Fade To Light' is today's Video Of The Day.

Today's Blues On The Radio Track Of The Day features music from RHR Redfern, Hutchinson (pictured) & Ross, Guy Tortora, Billy F. Gibbons, Dean James and The Black Dogs, Sari Schorr, Fiona Boyes, David Julia, Sean Chambers, Dr Bob and the Bluesmakers, Jim Dan Dee, The Liam Ward Band and (ahead of their show tonight at The Tuesday Night Music Club, The Comrades Club, Coulsdon CR5 2NF) two tracks from Rainbreakers!

Southbound fought of the awesome international competition of both SIMO and The Brothers Landreth in 2015 to win our coveted 'One's To Watch' WRC award - thanks to stand-out gigs at Leos Red Lion, Gravesend, The Half Moon, Putney and The Horn, St. Albans (pictured). And tonight you can catch the guys at London's iconic 100 Club, supporting Corky Laing, who we also saw that year at the same venue.

Fan-chosen favourites Monolord and Fireball Ministry will headline HRH Doom Vs HRH Stoner (Europe’s flagship celebration of Doom and Stoner Rock), which will hit the O2 Academy in Sheffield on the weekend of 28th and 29th September 2019. One further headliner will be announced on Monday 5th November! HRH DVS IV is an HRH city experience: a thunderous battle of very, very loud Metal tribes, who’ll champion their passionate camps at the UK’s number one celebration of these loud, dark, powerful genres. The two headliners blaze the trail for a portentous line-up of Doom & Stoner talent over the two-day event. Also confirmed are: Black Rainbows, Church of the Cosmic Skull, Black Moth, Dead Witches, Space Witch, Ten Ton Slug, Master Charger, Oak, Witch Tripper, Poseidon, The Red Widows, Mage, Red Spektor, Deadsmoke, Green Lung, Black Forge, Cower, Hounds!, Psychlona, Flex Bison and Superseed.

"It seems to be an unwritten rule that bands with just three members always make the most noise and Tom, Dale and birthday boy Karl are certainly no exception. Relying heavily on the latest ‘Starting Gun’ album (ten out of the eleven tracks are brought out to play here), it’s a blisteringly powerful hour with just three older songs to keep the die-hard fans happy." Today we have Phil C.'s take on last Sunday's Those Damn Crows, Federal Charm and The Bad Flowers London Borderline gig here - plus check out some more Bad Flowers photos from the night courtesy of Robert Sutton here, our Those Damn Crows Video Of The Day and our Federal Charm interview here.

Today's Black On Blues Podcast Track Of The Day not only celebrates their 400th edition but also remembers Otis Rush who sadly died recently. This week's playlist features Maria Muldaur, Ally Venable, Kendel Calgary, Sari Schorr (pictured), Martha Fields, Lindsay Beaver and Lawrence Lebo.

Back in June last year we featured Mikey Qubti's House Of None as our Track Of The Day. Lead vocalist and guitarist Mikey has since been in touch with us about his new project - Desert Of Talking Shadows (Video Of The Day) - a Rock N’ Roll band from Orange County, California. As well as Mikey, DOTS features Kyle Vellanoweth on guitar, Jack Thomas on bass and Detrick Forster on drums. They’re a new young band not to be missed that brings attitude, truth, and storytelling back to Rock music as well as their explosive live shows.

Clinging to airtight songcraft, knifepoint precise Metallic instrumentation, and stadium-size Hard Rock hooks, All That Remains are cutting right to the chase on their ninth full-length album, 'Victim Of The New Disease', due to be released on Friday 9th November via Fearless Records. The quintet - Philip Labonte (lead vocals), Oli Herbert (lead guitar), Mike Martin (rhythm guitar), Jason Costa (drums) and Aaron Patrick (bass, backing vocals) - has shared the punishing and patently pummeling new track ‘Fuck Love’, which is today's Track Of The Day. The band will also embark on a European tour in December with Sevendust, where they will play dates across the UK, including London’s Electric Brixton on Sunday 2nd December.

Lead singer of Bad Wolves, Tommy Vext, was taken ill and hospitalised in Nottingham after playing Nottingham Rock City on the second night of their European tour with Three Days Grace. Calling on his Eleven Seven Label Group family, Vext reached out to As Lions front man Austin Dickinson, and power vocalist Stars of Bang Bang Romeo (both pictured) to have them fill in for him as he recovered in hospital. The good news was that Tommy returned to the fold in Bristol on Friday night and will no doubt be raring to go at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire tonight. Bad Wolves are touring hits from their debut #1 UK Rock and Metal chart album 'Disobeyalbum' including the US platinum hit 'Zombie' which has been #1 on iTunes Metal UK album charts for 8 months and their current hit 'Hear Me Now' featuring Diamante.
