The Good Old Boys, who are at The Eel Pie Club, The Patch, 67 London Road, Twickenham TW1 3SZ tonight, were originally formed as a vehicle to play live Rock 'n' Roll whenever the members were free from touring with their own bands. The astounding response they received has led them to become a successful band in their own right and as a result the combined talents of Alan Barratt, Nick Simper, Peter Parks, Simon Bishop and Richard Hudson provide a perfect blend for the 50's 60's Rock 'n' Roll/R&B enthusiast. Doors open at 8.30pm with music from 9-11pm. WRC members are reminded that they can use their cards to get discounted admission.

'Revenge of Rock and Roll' due to be released on Friday 29th September finds Paris-based Carousel Vertigo – three native French rockers and an American – doing what this band does best and loves the most, regardless of opinions or passing phases, because Hard Rock truly is timeless and ever-present. The lyrical reach of the songs ranges from the rallying call of the title track to, on ‘Don’t Take It To Heart’, a hometown point of view on the terrorist attacks in Paris on 13th November 2015. The nucleus of the band, Gibson Guitars-endorsed Parisian Vincent Martinez and New Jersey son Jansen Press, formed Carousel Vertigo purely out of a shared love of the classic Rock music they both revelled and could play so well. Garry Tallent, long-serving bass player with Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, also happily guested for ‘a bottle of Bourgogne’ on one of the album’s ten tracks. Check out today's Video Of The Day - their first single from the album single 'No More Hesitatin’.

We first interviewed Bad Touch last December in the cold outside the Dome in Tufnell Park (pictured) - the night of the launch of their latest album 'Truth Be Told' when they supported Whiskey Myers. In fact, the last time we saw their Southern boogie influences in the great tradition of Black Crowes, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Led Zeppelin was at London's Borderline this April after the shock departure of guitarist Rob Glendinning who had been replaced by Harry Slater. Imagine our surprise as Michael Bailey (bass guitar), Daniel Seekings (guitars/backing vocals), Stevie (Alan? Alan? Alan?) Westwood (vocals) and George Drewry (drums) filed into our Ramblin' Man Fair interview tent recently with Rob in tow! Anyway, listen to today's Wrinklycast Track Of The Day for the reason Rob had returned, plus news on their October tour with The Kentucky Headhunters and their November headline tour with Mollie Marriott.

Due to overwhelming demand, The Struts’ exclusive UK headline show on Monday 18th September – originally announced for The Garage, Highbury – will now be at Camden’s Electric Ballroom. Already proving to be the hottest ticket in town, the flamboyant four-piece stride back across the Atlantic to play in London in celebration of their brand new single ‘One Night Only’ (Vid Of The Day) ahead of their massive US tour with the Foo Fighters in October. The recently-released lyric video captures the band in true Rock ’n’ Roll style, and is the perfect taster for their hugely anticipated second album, due next year, which is the follow up to their critically acclaimed 2016 debut 'Everybody Wants'.

The White Buffalo recently announced a run of UK and German dates for April 2018. A.k.a. songwriter Jake Smith, The White Buffalo last toured Europe in 2016 which included playing to a sold out Shepherd’s Bush Empire to an ecstatic crowd and a raucous set at the Ramblin’ Man Fair. Smith recently revealed details of his sixth full-length album 'Darkest Darks, Lightest Lights' to be released on Friday 13th October via Earache Records.

Today's Route 66 Track Of The Day includes new music from Mick Jagger and Kenny Wayne Shepherd (pictured) plus Motorhead's great cover of David Bowie's 'Heroes'. Host Rory Auskerry also plays classic tracks from Jethro Tull and Mark Knopfler.

The Mighty Bosscats are currently working on their tenth album - 'God Bless America' - a celebration of six old songs which have matured over time plus eleven newbies written by Richard Townend. As usual with TMB the song subject matter varies and includes the USA shenanigans of 8th November last year, the ferocious volume of celebrity deaths in 2016, preachers, emotions and much much more. It's an album drenched with Americana music and includes Allan Kelly making a return on beautiful pedal steel, Greg Camburn offering some delicious sax, Phil Wilson has dropped on to double bass for the majority of the tracks and their newest friend, Phil Ockelford on guitar, has provided some great acoustic rhythm to the band sound and great backing vocals. He'll also be joining them for a few future gigs. It's going to be one cool album!

On 6th February 2016, Norwegian Prog Metallers Circus Maximus (Video Of The Day) celebrated the release of their fourth studio album, 'Havoc' with a pace out show at the Rockefeller Club in Oslo with a stunning live production that involved pyro, sparks (lite rally) and a massive light rig. The band, consisting of Michael Eriksen - vocals, Mats Haugen - guitars, Glen Møllen - bass, Truls Haugen - drums and Lasse Finbråten - keyboards, wanted to make this show one of the most memorable performances in Circus Maximus' history and then to share this night with the world. So, it was decided to capture the entire night with multiple high definition cameras for a release on both Blu-Ray and DVD as well as an audio component. Ever since the band released 'Live In Japan' via YouTube, they have been eager to make a proper live release in a physical format. “'Havoc Live in Oslo”', released last Friday, is a powerful statement from a band at the top of their game!

After apparently having one of the best times at Ramblin' Man Fair recently, Bob and Jules (yes we did see them there) give you a taste today of some of the bands that performed at Mote Park in Maidstone. Therefore today's Rock On The Ridge Track Of The Day includes tracks from Massive, Trucker Diablo, Blindstone, Bad Touch, Blues Pills, Monster Truck, Aaron Buchanan & The Cult Classics, Scorpion Child, Lionize, Black Country Communion, Xander and the Peace Pirates (on their Introducing Stage), Steve Harris's British Lion, Jack J Hutchinson (pictured), Blackwater Conspiracy and ZZ Top - plus AJ's backstage interview with Dirty Thrills!

And talking of our 'Introducing .....' feature, we first introduced you to The Pieces Of Mind in February 2015 when the band celebrated their 50th anniversary with a great new album of original stuff entitled 'Born At The Bosco'. Since then they were featured in June 2016 on BBC Four’s "The UK’s Best Part-Time Band". So following our August WRC Bulletin we were delighted to get a heads up from our mate and guitarist Vic Johnson that not only did the band have an amazing first Brentwood Festival (pictured) supporting Midge Ure, Heaven 17 and Go West in mid-July, but also their song 'I Need Someone' is getting extensive airplay on Union Jack - a new national dab station!

Black Market Aftermath sprouted from the mind of Francesco D’Andrea, Film & TV Composer in the daytime, guitarist and songwriter at night. We first saw BMA supporting Massive at The Proud in Camden in June this year (pictured) and their album 'Come Naked' is the band's first musical experiment. Before founding his current project with Black Market Aftermath, Francesco's music has been featured in many award winning shows and movies, such as “Dr. House”, “The Big Bang Theory”, “Mad Men”, “Spaghetti Story”, “Glee”, “How I Met Your Mother” and many more. The boxer punching hard the other one on their album cover is Francesco's grandfather, who was a professional and very good boxer, and to whom the album is dedicated. Anyway, check out our 'Introducing ...' page here and today's Track Of The Day!
