Today we have an all new Blues On The Radio Podcast Track Of The Day which is jam packed with music from Ian Siegal, Rob Berry, King King (pictured), Phil Madeira, Catfish, Mitch Laddie Band, Greg Coulson, Benjamin Bassford, Broken Levee & Lindsay Hannon, Matt Edwards, Buddy Guy, Rebecca Downes, Chris Bevington and Dan Burnett.

The King’s Parade released their brand new EP ‘Woman’ last Friday and they are playing the Crescent at 9.30pm this Saturday 2nd June as part of the Camden Rocks Festival. The four-track EP features the acclaimed title-track (today's Video Of The Day), the new single ‘The Look’ and previously unreleased tracks ‘Mirror’ and ‘Lemon Zest’. The EP’s title track was released earlier this year and addressed the issue of gender imbalance, which led the band to be featured as BBC Introducing’s ‘Artist Of The Week’ and shortlisted for the ‘UMA Choice Award’ at the forthcoming Unsigned Music Awards 2018. 'The Woman' EP follows from the highly praised 'Haze' EP last year, which saw them receive support from the likes of The Independent, Wonderland and BBC 6Music among many others. Alongside the new EP release The King’s Parade have been announced to play a string of Summer festivals across the UK and Germany.

Following the huge success last year of his 30th anniversary tour of the classic Marillion album 'Clutching At Straws', Fish is embarking on a massive UK and European headline tour starting in September this year. In addition to performing 'Clutching At Straws' live for the very last time, Fish will also be debuting brand new, never-before-heard material from his forthcoming final studio album 'Weltschmerz'. He has also confirmed that he will be making his entire back catalogue, 'Fish – The Digital Collection', available on all digital platforms, this Friday 1st June. The release spans all fourteen studio and live albums, from his acclaimed 1990 solo debut 'Vigil In A Wilderness Of Mirrors' (the only solo album currently available on DSPs, via Warners 2008 reissue) to 2013’s 'A Feast of Consequences'. Finally, Fish will also be playing a number of festivals across Europe this summer, including UK appearances at Ramblin’ Man Fair, Maidstone, on Sunday 1st July and Fairport’s Cropredy Festival on Friday 10th August.

"Also performed in Brighton but sadly not in London was ‘Three Times Enough’, a gritty Punk offering from the 1981 album ‘Don’t Point Your Finger’, played with bullish vibrancy and lashings of snarl and bite! In London we got ‘Stop Your Nagging’, which is a fast paced chunk of Punk Blues Rock! ‘Twenty Yards Behind’ (Dr. Feelgood cover) was written by and dedicated to the legendary Wilko Johnson, a jittery galloping Ska style song, top notch stuff! ‘Watch Yourself’ (Little Walter cover) was delivered with assured strutting posturing and sauve sophistication. One of my favourite Nine Below Zero covers sees the set draw to a close, ‘Pack Fair And Square’ (Big Walter & His Thunderbirds cover) also featured on the ‘Live At The Marquee’ album, drives forward at full throttle! A hard hitting, no nonsense, heads down boogie rock out!" Today read Steven C Gilbert's Nine Below Zero tour review from gigs at Brighton, Southend and London here.

Today's Black On Blues Podcast Track Of The Day is another popular Blues women special featuring Zoe Schwarz, Val Starr, Tracy K, Teresa James, Susan Williams, Libby Rae Watson and Bridget Kelly Band.

Just over two months since we reviewed them at The Borderline (pictured) - Colt 48 return to London this Saturday 2nd June as we continue our Camden Rocks Festival countdown. Due to be on the Electric Ballroom stage at 2pm, the dynamic duo of lead singer/guitarist Adam Jerome and vocalist/drummer Matt Savini supported Puddle of Mudd at the Garage last year and have opened for Crazy Town, Foxxy and Trapt. Indeed their Nu-Metal and Heavy Rock sound with powerful riffs and good melodies comes across loud and clear on their latest EP 'II'. Three tracks that demonstrate their versatility: the building/alternatively paced headbanger 'Never Let You Live It Down', the dark and light of 'The Fire' plus the Nu-Metal lite anthemic arena sound of 'Out Of Habit' (Video Of The Day) - think Puddle Of Mudd collides with Creed. Do not miss them.

Jamie Lynn Vessels is a Rock and Blues artist with her roots in songwriting. 'Storm Coming' is Jamie Lynn's' new Blues-Rock album, released just over a month ago, a collection of 14 songs, which Vessels refers to as “Blues-based roots Rock”, which includes today's Track Of The Day 'Dear Love'. Likened to Bonnie Raitt, Melissa Etheridge and Sheryl Crow, this six-foot tall rocker captivates the audience and commands the stage. She has embraced New Orleans as her musical hometown, and the city has done her the same, affording her the opportunity to add grit and soul to her style and music. There is something undeniable about her songs and musical appeal... whatever your taste, Jamie's voice and presence will capture you. Her music is Soulful, Bluesy, filled with intricate lyrics and beautiful stories, and delivers a stunningly intoxicating ride of Rock 'n' Roll.

"Another Birkett guitar solo opened the slower Blues ballad 'Sailing On A Pool Of Tears' - for once Downes' vocal being dominated by Steve's awesome guitar work before Rebecca donned her guitar once more as the band finished with the familiar opening pounding drum/slide guitar of 'Believe's title track - its mid-section burst of driving drums/slide solo easily demonstrating why this track was runner up in the Best Blues Song category at last year's British Blues Awards. A superb Blues Rock set with something for everyone - do get to see her!" That was our take on Rebecca Downes supporting Snakecharmer last May at Islington's O2 Academy and Rebecca returns to London tonight at the Pizza Express Jazz Club in Soho at 8pm.

With just six days to go, our Camden Rocks Festival countdown continues with Hollowstar who are appearing at The Dev at 7pm next Saturday 2nd June. In fact the Cambridgeshire-based Rock band released their new single “'All I Gotta Say”' (Video Of The Day) on Friday, and it's easy to see how they take inspiration from Blackstone Cherry, Thunder and Slash; influences that are evident in the music they create. To coincide with the new single, Hollowstar have also unveiled a slew of tour dates throughout the country, joining the Graham Bonnet Band for four shows in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Louth and Newcastle as part of his UK and Ireland 2018 tour from 9th-12th August. The lads will also be making an appearance at the Wildfire Festival on Sunday 24th June, before joining Dan Reed Network and King King at the Cambridge Rock Festival, running from 26th-29th July.

Iconic Krautrock legend and seminal electronic music pioneer Klaus Schulze released ‘Silhouettes’, his first new studio album for five years, on SPV’s Oblivion record label yesterday. 70 year old Schulze, who was born in Berlin, started his musical career as a drummer, initially with amateur band Psy Free, then with Berlin sound avant-gardists Tangerine Dream before going on to join Ash Ra Tempel. Following the recording of Ash Ra Tempel’s debut album, Schulze left the fold to embark on his solo career. Even more than with a band, the creative work of a solo artist is the direct and unadulterated reflection of recent experiences, a mirror of the soul, an undiluted reaction to their current life situation. Indeed, the four compositions on the album were created between Summer and Autumn last year, reflecting an extended period which was – due to health problems – very quiet and for this reason very meditative at times.

King Company's new album ‘Queen Of Hearts’ will be released on Friday 10th August, following which the band will tour to promote it, beginning in Finland, followed by a festival appearance in Spain and further shows in the works for the remainder of the year and well into 2019. Formed in 2014 by drummer Mirka ‘Leka’ Rantanen, the Finnish Hard Rock and Metal band consist of Antti Wirman (guitars), Jari Pailamo (keyboards), Timo Schleifer (bass) and Leonard F. Guillan (vocals). The band released their debut album, ‘One For The Road’, in August 2016. It was well received with multiple great reviews worldwide, plus the band were ranked no. 7 in the well-known Japanese magazine BURRN in the Brightest Hope category for that year. Anyway, check out their latest single 'One Day Of Your Life' which is today's Video Of The Day.

With the full stage times just announced, our Camden Rocks Festival countdown continues with news that Dirty Thrills and Doomsday Outlaw, who are both performing on Saturday 2nd June, are both featured on a free 'New Breed' Sampler CD produced by their record label Frontiers Music. New Breed is the name given to the growing stable of young, exciting, up-and-coming bands signed by Frontiers who represent the future of Hard Rock and Metal. The Frontiers label is focused on finding and developing new acts from different territories to show the world that Rock is indeed far from dead! Indeed the sampler can be downloaded for free from the label website here with a CD version also available at merch booths of some New Breed artists on tour.
