Leverage landed on Finland's Rock scene in 2006 with the release of their debut album, ‘Tides’, which generated a buzz with its blend of Symphonic and Progressive Metal and Melodic Hard Rock. They were signed by Frontiers in 2008 for the release of a second album, ‘Blind Fire’, with its follow-up, ‘Circus Colossus’, being issued via Spinefarm a year later. They became inactive soon after, but now, following nearly a decade in hibernation, Leverage is back with a new singer and guitarist, with a forthcoming digital EP, ‘The Devil’s Turn’ (see today's Video Of The Day) due to be released via Frontiers on Monday 27th August, serving as both an appetiser for a forthcoming album (out early 2019) and an introduction to the new line-up consisting of Kimmo Blom - vocals, Mikko Salovaara - guitars, Tuomas Heikkinen - guitars, Sami Norrbacka - bass, Valtteri Revonkorpi - drums and Marko Niskala - keyboards, who made their live debut recently at the John Smith Festival in Laukaa, Finland.

The UK leg of Iron Maiden's much vaunted 'Legacy Of The Beast Tour' kicks off tomorrow in Newcastle with a Spitfire buzzing the stage during the opening number 'Aces High'. The plane is a 90% sized replica of an actual Supermarine Spitfire Mk Vb registration number AA 853 from 302 Squadron that saw active duty in 1941. The UK tour continues in arenas in Belfast, Aberdeen, Manchester and Birmingham finishing with two nights at The O2 in London on Friday 10th/Saturday 11th August. Special guests at all UK shows are Killswitch Engage. The shows are all sold out but some Production holds will be released in the days before each show so fans who have missed out are advised to check the box offices nearer to show date.

Groundbreaker is everything a Melodic Rock fan could wish for: soaring hooklines, magnificent melodies, amazing musical performances and, in Steve Overland, a stunning vocalist. Their debut album is due to be released on Frontiers on Friday 14th September and their first single 'Over My Shoulder' is today's Video Of The Day. Mixing both British and Swedish Melodic Rock/AOR styles, the end result is truly the best of both worlds and surely destined to be one of the highlights of an already stellar year for Melodic Rock! As well as Overland, Groundbreaker also consist of Robert Sall – guitars, Nalley Pahlsson – bass, Herman Furin – drums and Alessandro Del Vecchio – keyboards, so if you like Melodic Rock, then this is simply a must hear album!

Today's Black On Blues Track Of The Day is a Canadian Blues special featuring Carolyn Fe, David Vest, Sugar Brown, Justin Saladino Band, Dan McKinnon and Sons of Rhythm.

'Need To Love' is a fragile and ethereal song performed with eminent grace. Dorian's voice sounds quite emotionally exposed and vulnerable but with an honest and deep resonance, quite moving. The divine and graceful 'Hello My Friend', a song that recalls tragic American folk hero Jackson C. Frank, closes the EP with its lilting arpeggios and celestial vocals. These four songs reveal the striking talent of a young songwriter finally stepping into the limelight. Immediately following the EP's release, Sorriaux is set to play his first UK solo live shows supporting Myles Kennedy, culminating in a prestigious concert at the London Palladium on Sunday 29th July." That was part of our recent Dorian Sorriaux 'Hungry Ghost' EP review and indeed Dorian and Myles are performing at the London Palladium tonight.

"Groovy backing vocals then heralded Freddie KIng's 'Boogie Man' - a delightful, slower, gentler, version of his single from 'MOTR' - and an opportunity not only to appreciate Eric's evident vocal quality but another intense guitar solo that resulted in Eric's trademark baseball cap falling off! 'Boogie Man' was followed by 'Boogie Funk' - Raw Dawg once again nailing his impeccable credentials to the mast on his upside-down right-handed guitar before a perfect execution of Buddy Guy's delicious 'Baby Please Don't Leave Me' including our first real sniff of Hendrix with a snippet of 'Purple Haze'. That was part of our take the last time we saw Eric GalesRockin' The Blues at London's Garage in March (pictured) - and we're indebted to our Swiss correspondent Marlenr Rivet who caught Eric performing with Paul Deslauriers this month at the Cahors Blues Festival - today's Video Of The Day.

Circles Around The Sun explore new horizons on the band's upcoming double album, 'Let It Wander', due to be released on Friday 17th August via Rhino. It's the first new music from the quartet since their acclaimed 2015 debut, 'Interludes For The Dead', so listen to their new track 'Immovable Object' which is today's Track Of The Day. Guitarist Neal Casal and keyboardist Adam MacDougall (bandmates in the Chris Robinson Brotherhood) along with bassist Dan Horne and drummer Mark Levy recorded seven instrumentals for 'Let It Wander' earlier this year at Castaway 7 Studios in California. Originally, Circles Around the Sun (CATS) was only supposed to record a handful of Grateful Dead-influenced instrumentals to be played during the set breaks at the Dead's "Fare Thee Well" concerts in 2015. But the response was so positive, and the band was having so much fun making music together, that they all agreed to keep it going.

"And finally, if you were looking for a glorious headbanger, then the second single off the album 'Not Your Enemy' did them proud. Suffice to say it's only January and we already we have a contender for 'Best Support' or 'One's To Watch' in our 2017 WRC Awards!" That was our take when we saw Stone Broken supporting Glenn Hughes at Islington Assembly Hall and consequently we also saw them at Ramblin' Man Fair in July plus supporting Living Colour at London's ULU in October and the guys in the end were deservedly voted 'One's To Watch' in our 2017 WRC Awards! Well we finally caught up the guys to present them with their award (pictured) the day before they blew the bloody doors off The Steelhouse Festival which they headlined last night!

The Rising will be doing a special performance and album signing in their hometown HMV in Belfast on Friday 3rd August at 5.30pm - the day they release their brand new album 'Moving On'. Recorded at the band's own Renegade Studios in Belfast and also at PlethoraTone Studios in Nashville - The Rising are best described as a Country Pop/Country Rock band. But they don’t like to be defined by any particular genre, and it is for this reason, plus a reflection of what they went through as a band during the making of this record and the progression of their music - that their album is called 'Moving On'. Consisting of Chantelle McAteer – vocals, synths, keyboards, Chris Logan – guitars, banjo, piano and Brian Mellors – bass, synths, keyboards - check out their brand new song 'Rebound' which is today's Track Of The Day.

Not only was the London weather hot and stormy last night, but so was the music served up at The Big Red in Holloway Road. Following their explosive set at the end of May, headliner's City Of Thieves returned with their own brand of Heavy Rock in its purest form with no nonsense sledgehammer riffs, hooks and melodies. Not only was it free but City Of Thieves once again grabbed Rock by the scruff of its neck and give it a good shake, including their brilliant debut single 'Buzzed Up City' - think Airbourne meets AC/DC meets Wolfmother! Anyway, with their long anticipated debut album, entitled ‘Beast Reality’, due to be released on Friday 12th October - in the meantime check out today's Video Of The Day.
