Japanese superstars Man With A Mission have announced an exclusive London headline show at The Dome, Tufnell Park on Friday 23rd February. The show will follow the band’s UK tour with Don Broco throughout February. The five-piece wolf collective recently headlined two nights in Japan to 50,000 fans with Don Broco supporting them at Tokyo’s Saitama Super Arena as part of their Japanese arena tour. Having emerged with feral Rock energy in 2010, MWAM have released four albums in Japan, which have topped the charts and led the band to sell out arenas across their homeland. Man With A Mission recently released the video for their new single ‘My Hero’ (today's Video Of The Day), which sees the band providing the soundtrack to the accomplishments of an everyday hero with their electrifying blend of Rock, Rap and Electronica.

Certified LA guitar legend Michael Landau has unveiled the first track, 'We're Alright' (Video Of The Day), from his upcoming new album 'Rock Bottom', which will be out on Friday 23rd February via Mascot Label Group/Provogue. Michael Landau has surrounded himself with familiar faces from his past - longtime collaborator David Frazee (Burning Water) on vocals and lyrics that can only be called poetry, his brother Teddy Landau (Raging Honkies) on superlative bass (which should end up on some future top ten lists), Larry Goldings on organ, and Alan Hertz playing drums, and their familiarity gives this album an incredible sense of timing and cohesion. There are myriad twists and turns, and the record unfolds to reveal exotic sounds and feelings, but it’s so well composed and performed that it is like taking a sonic, spiritual vacation!

Today's Blues On The Marsh Track Of The Day, originally broadcast on Friday night, includes music from Robert Randolph and The Family Band, Dan Burnett, Paul Cox, Otis Redding, Vintage Trouble (pictured) and more.

Grammy winning Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa are back with their new duet album ‘Black Coffee’ (Video Of The Day) which will be released on Friday 26th January 2018 via Provogue/Mascot Label Group. It has been 4 years since Grammy nominated and number 1 Billboard Blues album 'Seesaw' was released by singer-songwriter and Blues-Rock powerhouse Beth Hart and guitar hero Joe Bonamassa. Since then, they have both been on fire, both in the studio and live. So, the time was perfect to reunite for another collection of ten Soul gems that encompass Hart’s breath-taking vocals and Joe’s masterfully expressive playing.

Today in our latest 'Introducing ....' feature we introduce you to Vern Daysel - a Rock 'n' Roll musician from South Africa. Vern's new album 'Blood of a Wolf' is our Track Of The Day and his music has been described as "Bone-rattling Blues-inflected Southern Rock that’s insanely intense.." and is influenced by bands like Blackberry Smoke, Lynyrd Skynyrd, CCR and Aerosmith.

We first saw Queen perform at Hammersmith Odeon just over 42 years ago and then at Wembley Arena (yes Arena) in May 1978. By the Summer of 2005, the legend that was Freddie Mercury had cruely left us for that great gig in the sky and to be fair, Paul Rodgers, did an exceptional job at London's Hyde Park belting out not only Queen classics but also Bad Company and Free hits as well. Fast forward to last Wednesday night and a first for the WRC this side of the pond - seeing Adam Lambert front one of the greatest Rock bands in history. Well if we wanted proof that Queen were not all about Mercury - then this was is it. Lambert was superb but both Brian May and Roger Taylor spectacularly demonstrated on the night that age or form is temporary but class is permanent. Check out our Queen + Adam Lambert Photo Gallery here today and if you get the chance of a last minute ticket to London's Wembey Arena gig tonight then grab it!
