Bristol based multi-instrumentalist producer and visual artist She Makes War has released her new single ‘Devastate Me’ (today's Track Of The Day) taken from her upcoming album 'Brace For Impact', the follow up to 2016’s acclaimed 'Direction Of Travel', which is due to be released on Friday 28th September. A blend of raucous guitar and infectious vocals, ‘Devastate Me’ is an unrestrained commentary on the impact of our collective online presence on our lives, from stalker exes to the hysterical screeching of Twitter. Simultaneously scintillating and scathing, the track is an infectious dose of Punk-infused Pop with a conscious message. She Makes War will be heading out on a headline tour this October including London's Sebright Arms on Friday 26th October.

Ascend' is the second album by the glorious UK afro-inspired and insurrectionary Heavy Power-Rock trio Vodun, due to be released on Friday 7th September by New Heavy Sounds. It's ten slabs of ground-flattening, groove-inflected, righteous, soulful and spiritual revolution Rock and mystic heaviness, driven by the afro-inspired dervish drums of Zel Kaute (interpreting the spirits of Ogoun), the roaring, fierce chromium guitars of Linz Hamilton (The Marassa) and fronted by the fire-breathing howl of frontwoman Chantal Brown (formally of Invasion, Chrome Hoof and Do Me Bad Things), delivering you the truth of generations with a drive and focus that can’t be matched. Check out today's Video Of The Day for their new single 'Spirits Past'.

"Another fine track from 'The Book' album, 'Into The Night', punched good weight! Then we got a Kurt James guitar solo where he was allowed to indulge in some clever fret noodling, including the Hendrix trick of playing the guitar behind one’s head and with one’s teeth, before 'Long Island Tea', the first and only song to be aired from the new album, ‘Meanwhile, Back In The Garage’. It is a good track, but the album has several better songs on it, some tasty keys from Waldo though. The epic and enthralling Michael Schenker Group track ‘Assault Attack’, from the 'Assault Attack' album, rattled on like a steam train!" Today read the whole of Steven C. Gilbert's The Graham Bonnet Band and Doomsday Outlaw Underworld review from Wednesday night here, plus check out our Photo Gallery here.

The big day has finally arrived!

Enuff Z’nuff are the living, breathing example of what a Rock ‘n Roll group should be. Now centered around bass player and vocalist Chip Z’nuff, Enuff Z’nuff are still alive and kicking with a legion of loyal fans, who can’t get enough of the band’s power Pop melded with Hard Rock stylings. In addition to Chip Z’nuff, the band features longtime guitarist Tory Stoffregen, ex-Ultravox singer/guitarist Tony Fennell, and Chicago native Daniel Benjamin Hill on drums. Enuff Z’nuff continues to tour and record relentlessly and their recently released album 'Diamond Boy' (see today's Track Of The Day) shows once again what a truly gifted hard/power Pop act they are. With no shortage of hooks and awesome songs, 'Diamond Boy' is another gem in Enuff Z’Nuff’s crown!

"After Bastille I had an impossible dilemma: two bands I wanted to see were performing at the same time. The Stereophonics started first, so I made my way to the Main Stage for a set of the band’s classic hits, delivered with enthusiastic aplomb. After 25 years of touring and numerous chart successes, the Stereophonics need no introduction. Kelly Jones’ voice adds horsepower and heft to newer material, but there is a distinct upturn in energy when the band reprise their earlier hits. Their set occasionally veers into arena-Rock routine but, overall, there is a serious vibe and little sense of self-indulgence. However, after a rousing performance of ‘Maybe Tomorrow’, complete with almost continuous audience participation, I dragged myself away to ensure I caught the end of the Years and Years set on the Second Stage, thereby apparently missing an impressive medley of covers that included ‘Handbags & Gladbags’ and ‘Highway to Hell’."

With our review to come, today check out our Graham Bonnet Band and Doomsday Outlaw (pictured) Photo Gallery here taken at Camden's Underworld on Wednesday night. Unfortunately we missed what we were told was a great set from West Midlands Hard Rockers Gin Annie (sorry guys) before Planet Rock DJ and MC for the gig, Paul Anthony, introduced Doomsday Outlaw, who effectively blew the bloody Underworld doors of with their coupling huge riffs and killer grooves with soaring, soulful vocals - their Hard Rockin' set drawing on their recently released album, 'Hard Times’. No hard times on the night though, as The Graham Bonnet Band picked up the Rock baton as we jumped on Bonnet's Rock rollercoaster and took in the present, including his new album 'Back In The Garage' and of course, the past, as we stopped off to pay our respects to Rainbow and The Michael Schenker Group. All in all, one classic gig.

The Great British Rhythm and Blues Festival starts today over the next three days in Colne, Lancashire. This is the events’​ 29th year,​ and the second year in which Colne Town Council have organised and managed the event. The festival takes place in numerous town centre venues (from 750 to 50 capacity), Colne & Nelson Rugby Club (which also doubles-up as the festival campsite), plus many more restaurants and bars. This beautiful town is an ideal location for an event of this kind, with one long ‘main’ street (closed to traffic) which hosts on-street entertainment, busking, incredible food stalls, bars and more. Each music venue is within easy reach of the main street, making this a one-of- a-kind and much-loved festival for people of the local area. One of the 130 acts taking part are Big Wolf Band (today's Video Of The Day) who are not only performing twice on Saturday but are also playing the Congleton Jazz & Blues Festival on Sunday!

We finally and literally got to see Doomsday Outlaw (Video Of The Day) at The Underworld in Camden last night - a ten-legged Hard Rock, Blues tinged juggernaut based in darkest Derbyshire. As expected, they didn't disappoint, coupling huge riffs and killer grooves with soaring, soulful vocals, their Hard Rockin' set drawing on their recently released album, 'Hard Times’. The bonus of course was that they were supporting The Graham Bonnet Band, who similarly had released last month their new album 'Back In The Garage' via Frontiers - the spine of their set reflecting the fact that Bonnet (pictured) has also been there and done it with Rainbow and The Michael Schenker Group. Watch out for a review plus a Photo Gallery shortly.

Ultimate 60's Soul and Blues man, Geno Washington (Track Of The Day) is gracing The Eel Pie Club, The Patch, 67 London Road, Twickenham TW13SZ tonight with his Yo Yo Blues Band. A contemporary of Georgie Fame, The Small Faces and Jimi Hendrix (all of whom were his support acts back in the day), Geno is as electrifying today as ever, a force of nature and a genuine joy to behold. Geno's life long love of Blues and R&B has led to yet another chapter in his illustrious career with the formation of "Geno and the Yo Yo's” which features the long standing rhythm section of the Ram Jam Band (Geoff Hemsley on drums, Steve Bingham on bass and Stuart Dixon on guitar) which is a hard- hitting, fast-moving show of R&B/Blues/Soul classics that has audiences on their feet from start to finish and is receiving rave reviews wherever they play. Supporting Geno is guitarist/vocalist Peter Hammerton (formerly with 60's band The Others. Doors open at 8.15pm and the music starts at 8.45pm. WRC members are reminded that they can use their cards to get discounted admission.​

Hotly tipped Alt-Rock trio Bang Bang Romeo are supporting Electric Six at London’s Nambucca tonight. They recently released the video to their breakthrough new single ‘Shame On You’ through their Five Seven Music branch - the next tantalising taste of their highly anticipated debut album, coming October 2018. The release comes after the band’s triumphant performance at the Isle Of Wight festival where they opened the main stage to the event’s biggest ever audience for an opening act. This Summer they have already performed at both the Tramlines and Kendal Calling festivals and are also playing the Victorious Festival's Second Stage this Sunday 26th August.
