"Ironic it probably wasn’t that they started their short set with 'Hold Tight' – probably a requirement from the Health and Safety department to put us on notice of what to expect. Elements of all of their influences shone through their set. Williams reverence for Mr. Grohl showed in his ability to front a powerful band yet remain the focus. Anyone not joining in the overall fun and frolics (there were the odd one or two) were roundly accused of being Bieber fans – how cutting can you get?"

Steve Hill’s album 'Solo Recordings: Volume 3' will be released in the UK on his independent “No Label Records” on Friday 6th October. His stunning new single 'Dangerous' is today's Vid Of The Day and he will undertake a 27-date UK tour when he supports Wishbone Ash in October and November. Steve hails from Montreal, Canada, and he’s a multi-award winning Blues Rock guitarist and singer-songwriter who’s gearing up for world domination. He’s literally a one-man band guitar machine and does it all (by himself) with no overdubs or tapes. How can one musician sound like three? Well he plays guitar, kick drum and sings at the same time and gets the bass notes by feeding three of his strings through an Octaver guitar pedal that’s hooked up to a bass amp.

Everyone's favourite Berlin based Psych-Rockers Kadavar have announced an album launch and signing at East London's exciting new Metal haven record store Crypt Of The Wizard, 324C Hackney Rd, London E2 7AX.

The party kicks off at 5.30pm and Crypt Of The Wizard have teamed up with Kraken Rum to make sure everyone is suitably lubricated; so don't miss out on a free drink and hear the album played in full with the trio! Kadavar also play a headline show at London's The Dome the following night and then the riff-lords will also bring the fuzz to the North when they play Sheffield's HRH Doom Vs Stoner festival the following day. Anyway, check out today's Track Of The Day for their official music video for 'Die Baby Die'.

Tuesday Night Music Club host Richard Dunning nicely summed up everyone's reaction to Ash Wilson's gig at The Comrades Club in Coulsdon on Tuesday night. "Four of the most talented, hard working individuals we've had the pleasure to know took to our stage and to say that they blew us away would be a massive understatement. Yes that magic took over at The TNMC again as spectators and performers gelled into one. When the audience rise to their feet at the end of both sets it only confirms that we've just experienced something very special." We couldn't have put it better ourselves Rich - and just to complement a truly awesome gig - check out a few photos from the night here.

For a bit of fun - check out the poster alongside to work out your first Metal memory! And talking of Metal - after their extensive tour with Children Of Bodom and a spot at Bloodstock, the young rockers from Forever Still, caught their breath and dedicated their time to the writing of several new songs. Just like they already did for their debut, singer Maja Shiningand multi-instrumentalist Mikkel Haastrup once again work closely together for the songwriting process to create the successor of 'Tied Down', which was recently nominated for 'best debut' at the German Metal Hammer Awards - with the ceremony taking place on Friday 15th September in Berlin! Their second full-length release will drop in early 2018 and promises to stir up the Heavy Rock scene once more.

A well overdue one off our WRC bucket list was our very first visit to the Tuesday Night Music Club at the Comrades Club in Coulsdon last night to see Lincolnshire's very own Bluesman Ash Wilson (Vid Of The Day). We had seen the very impressive Ash supporting both Dan Patlansky and Sari Schorr earlier this year - so this was a no-brainer given that the the ex-Sean Webster Band guitarist on the night pulled together a band of musicians to die for. Step forward both Roger Inness (ex-Chaka Khan and Laurence Jones to name but a few) plus the keys of King King's Bob Fridzema who added that extra dimension to proceedings given that on the previous two occasions Ash's band were a three-piece. Indeed both Innes and Fridzema had appeared on Wilson's latest album 'Broken Machine' - of which understandably most of this set was drawn from - but just to add to the deliciousness of the evening - the quartet was completed by none other than King King's drummer and producer Wayne Proctor. Wow - what a gig!

On the subject of the Tuesday Night Music Club, and in particular mein host Richard Dunning, today's Track Of The Day sees the return of Rich's Blues On The Radio Podcast. So take a clutch of new releases, some IBBA albums of the month, the participants in the UK Blues Challenge and some gig news - stir it all up and you have an hour filled with music from Doug Macleod, Dave Ferra, LaVendore Rogue, Elles Bailey, Kris Barras (pictured), Jinder, Ash Wilson, Zoe Schwarz Blue Commotion, King King, Watermelon Slim, Rainbreakers and Mike Brookfield.

Today's 2016 WRC Award winning Rock On The Ridge Track Of The Day, originally broadcast on Saturday, includes live music music and chat from At The Sun plus tracks from fellow award winners Monster Truck (pictured), Queens Of The Stone Age, AC/DC and more.

"The Blues shuffle of 'Peace And Love', and it's sad story of the blues of desperation, was followed by the funky ‘Out of Time’, before Ash, who had a good line in patter by the way, introduced ‘Words Of A Woman’ - a song he wrote after innocently witnessing a stranger’s marriage in meltdown. With an undoubted Bonamassa influence, this was a great ballad with strong lyrics and an excellent guitar solo from Wilson - definitely the stand out track for mine from the set." That was part of our take on Ash Wilson when we last saw him supporting Dan Patlansky at the O2 Academy, Islington. Tonight at 8.30pm, you can check out Ash headlining the Tuesday Night Music Club, The Comrades Club, 194 Brighton Rd, Coulsdon, Greater London CR5 2NF.
