Where can you go to capture the original spirit of a great Friday-night Rock & Roll gig? The David Sinclair Four (Video Of The Day) will be returning to the Crawdaddy Club in Richmond on 26th October, scene of legendary gigs in the 1960's by the Stones, the Yardbirds and many others, with a show which The Morning Star described as “a Bluesy Rock masterclass.” “The Crawdaddy is where London Rock & Roll began,” says David, whose new album 'Sweet Georgina' marks the latest chapter in a stellar career as a bandleader, songwriter and music journalist. “We can’t wait to go back there and kick out the jams.” Alongside him in the DS4 is lead guitarist and backing vocalist, Geoff Peel, together with the hand-in-glove rhythm section of the Mendoza brothers Jos (bass/BVs) and Rory (drums). Joining the band as a special guest for the Crawdaddy show will be master Blues-harmonica man Laurie Garman. The DS4 at the Crawdaddy – where Rock & Roll history lives on.

With a review of Sunday night's The Bad Flowers, Federal Charm and Those Damn Crows Borderline gig in the pipeline, today we have our Photo Gallery from the night here. We also have an interview waiting in the wings, following some great banter with Federal Charm guitarist Paul Bowe and drummer Josh Zahler, in advance of their set, who made us feel most welcome. Watch out for that Track Of The Day shortly.

Those Damn Crows, fresh from supporting The Quireboys, when we saw them at The Forum just over two weeks ago, once again proved that 'Rock N Roll Ain't Dead' with another blistering opening set at London's The Borderline last night. Followed by co-headliners and Stockport's very own Federal Charm (who we managed to interview before the gig), who finished off their tour on a high, dipping in to some great tracks from their recently released album 'Passenger' including their single 'Choke', 'Get Through', 'Death Rattle' and 'Concrete Creature'. Finally, a great night of live music was complete with The Bad Flowers (pictured), a great bunch, who we also last saw at the O2 Arena StoneFree Festival in June, with drummer and birthday boy Karl Selickis doing a fine job of keeping frontman/guitarist Tom Leighton and bass guitarist Dale Tonks in their rhythmic place. With tracks like 'Thunder Child' in their repertoire, they showed they are a force to be reckoned with. Anyway, with that interview to come, plus a review and our photo gallery - check out today's Video Of The Day.

'Desperate Man’ is the latest/sixth studio album from Eric Church, one of Country music’s premier names and biggest, most respected stars; an artist whose ground-breaking 2014 outing, ‘The Outsiders’, a chart-topper in the US and the biggest selling Country album of that year, paved the way for the Rock/Country blend that is such a rich seam today. Eric's follow-up album ‘Mr. Misunderstood’ went on to win ‘Album of the Year’ at the CMA Awards in 2016, reaching RIAA-Platinum certification earlier this year. Church has long maintained that putting music into specific genres is an outmoded concept, and ‘Desperate Man’ (11 tracks tellingly overseen by regular producer Jay Joyce) is further proof of EC’s broad range of influences – from Rock and Metal acts through to Hank Williams Jr. and Ray Wylie Hubbard, the latter getting a co-writing credit on the new album’s lead single and title track (see today's Track Of The Day).

"With a new energy, the revitalized quartet's opening track 'Swing Sinner' sets the tone for this eleven song strong collection. As with each track Guyer delivers his vocals with (for the most part) controlled aggression, and it soon becomes obvious this is a band with a lot to say, and one that is not afraid to say it." That was part of our take here on Federal Charm's new CD 'Passenger' which was released earlier this month and to coincide with the release of the album, the band complete their co-headline tour alongside The Bad Flowers (Video Of The Day) at London's Borderline tonight supported by Those Damn Crows.

Initially born as a one-off musical extravaganza between two Norwegian Metal and Hard Rock giants, Trond Holter (ex-Wig Wam) and vocalist Jorn Lande, the duo's Dracula Rock Opera has now morphed into a full-time musical project with guitarist, producer and songwriter Holter at the helm. With an outstanding line-up featuring singers Nils K Rue (Pagan’s Mind) and Eva Iselin Erichsen, Bernt Jansen on bass, Per Morten Bergseth on drums and Erling Henanger on keyboards, ‘Vlad The Impaler’ (see today's 'I'll Die For You' Video Of The Day) starts where 2015's ‘Swing Of Death’ left off. It is an album that gets straight to the point while simultaneously utilising diverse musical landscapes and it includes memorable melodic songs in a similar style to its predecessor. Think Savatage meets Meat Loaf meets Queen meets Alice Cooper with contemporary Hard Rock in the mix. The album will be released on Friday 9th November, with a special release show the following night in Halden, Norway, with more shows planned that include an appearance in May 2019 at the Karmøygeddon Festival.

Brainstorm’s new album, 'Midnight Ghost', released yesterday, is a veritable milestone. All the cogs have meshed and produced a result that’s bound to delight all Melodic Power Metal fans and delivers in no uncertain terms the full range of their typical trademarks: awesome melodies, dynamic grooves and extremely heavy guitar riffs. With Andy B. Franck (vocals), Torsten Ihlenfeld, Milan Loncaric (both guitars), Antonio Ieva (bass) and Dieter Bernert (drums), check out their Track Of The Day - the powerful ‘Ravenous Minds’.

American Rock musician, Kip Winger, returns to London for his 6th Annual concert tonight for an intimate set at The Borderline. The multi-platinum recording artist, may be known best for his success with Winger and his early days as a bass player with Alice Cooper. However, the range and scope of his musical journey can be more fully experienced in his solo albums, namely 'This Conversation Seems Like A Dream', 'Songs From The Ocean Floor', 'From The Moon To The Sun', 'Ghosts' and most recently his 'Solo Box Set Collection'.
