- Love Is Coming 15/10/17
Robin Beck is truly one of the most gifted vocalists under the broad umbrella of Rock music and Frontiers Music welcomes her back on their label with her new album 'Love Is Coming' which was released on Friday and is also our Video Of The Day. The album sees her partnering with Clif Magness (Steve Perry, Avril Lavigne) and James Christian, who produced and mixed the album with Maor Appelbaum handling the mastering. Hit after hit after hit after hit is the best description of the tracklisting. An album encompassing Melodic Rock to gritty Soul inspired Rock is what you can expect from this gem.
- Nazareth Photo Gallery 15/10/17
The venue might have been new to us on Friday night, but the band and the songs certainly weren't. Indeed you can substitute the smaller but very pleasant 229 The Venue in London's Great Portland Street for the cavernous Great British Music Festival at Olympia 41 years earlier - but there's no substitute for the legendary Scottish rockers Nazareth. The current line up consisting of Pete Agnew - bass, Lee Agnew - drums, Jimmy Murrison - guitar and Carl Sentance - vocals, blasted out all their favourites including 'Hair of the Dog', 'Love Hurts', 'My White Bicycle', 'This Flight Tonight', 'Razamanaz', 'Shanghai'd In Shanghai' and finished with 'Broken Down Angel'. With great support from the Sabbath sounding Death & the Miser, check out our photo gallery from the gig here.
- Truth Is A Wolf 15/10/17
Today's Track Of The Day is the new single from Mollie Marriott entitled 'Truth is A Wolf' which was released on Friday. Mollie is the daughter of the late Small Faces/Humble Pie legend Steve Marriott, and Paul Weller features on the single playing Hammond organ and guitar. The single is the title track taken from Mollie’s forthcoming album due to be released on Mollie’s own Amadeus Music label on Friday 3rd November. Mollie is also the special guest on Bad Touch’s November UK tour (photo courtesy of Rob Blackham) which includes London's O2 Islington Academy on Sunday 26th November.
- Hair Of The Dog! 14/10/17
At their peak, Nazareth were huge, selling vast quantities of albums and hit singles, pulling in enormous crowds to their shows all over the world. Like all the best bands, Nazareth came from humble roots. They formed in Dunfermline, Scotland, and played the Scottish clubs throughout the 1960’s in their original incarnation as The Shadettes. The name change to Nazareth came in 1971 when the band moved to London to start what was to become a long and illustrious recording career. Fast forward 46 years to last night and London's 229 The Venue, Great Portland Street, where the current line up consisting of Pete Agnew - bass, Lee Agnew - drums Jimmy Murrison - guitar and Carl Sentance - vocals, pumped out all their classics including 'Hair of the Dog', 'Love Hurts', 'My White Bicycle', 'This Flight Tonight', 'Dream On', 'Where Are You Now' and 'Razamanaz', but no 'Woke Up This Morning' and 'Bad Bad Boy'. With great support from Death & the Miser, check out today's Video Of The Day with more photos to come.
- Out Of The Ashes 14/10/17
Today's Track Of The Day features Wishbone Ash playing 'Persephone' at The Rockpalast, Cologne on 1st December 1976. Their line up that day was Andy Powell - guitar, vocals, Martin Turner - bass, vocals, Laurie Wisefield - guitar, vocals and Steve Upton - drums and indeed Turner, as part of his "The Beauty Of Chaos 2017" tour, plays London's iconic 100 Club tonight. Meanwhile, Powell's Wishbone Ash also play London's O2 Academy Islington this coming Thursday 19th October, supported by one man Canadian power trio Steve Hill.
- Walter Trout UTB Review 14/10/17
"If you are going to sing and play the Blues, you need to have been around a bit, you need to have lived. Walter Trout has been about a bit and he’s lived. And he has died a couple of times too. Four years on from his traumatic liver failure and replacement, the once prolific six string demon had to learn to walk and talk again, let alone find his way around a fretboard. But years of relearning the instrument again from scratch has returned Mr. Trout to the shoal of top guitarists in the world. His cathartic 2015 album 'Battle Scars' saw Walter put his traumas into words and music with such skill as belied his tortuous ascent from the depths of disability and despair and the man taking the stage today shows only remnants of his life altering experience."

- Friday The Thirteenth 13/10/17
Friday the thirteenth is lucky for a change given today's Video Of The Day is Idlewar's 'Hang' taken from their new CD 'Rite' which was released yesterday on Off Yer Rocka Recordings. Similarly, today sees the release of albums by both King King and Bigfoot (pictured), namely 'Exile & Grace' and 'Bigfoot' respectively with both bands supporting their new releases with UK tours - Bigfoot this month and next - and King King in January next year.
- This Gig Tonight 13/10/17
"Joni Mitchell's 'This Flight Tonight' was the first Nazareth single I ever bought and Agnew's bass was as tight as ever on this Rock classic. An honour to witness it. Murrison's Zep type riff on 'One Set Of Bones' from 'Rock 'N' Roll Telephone' was literally a classic head-banger as my air guitar mate managed to crack heads with me! No offence taken although Sentance slowed things down with 'Dream On' although they upped a gear with the Bluesy Pop of 'Holiday'. The mid-set recess continued with 'Turn On Your Receiver' from 'Loud 'n' Proud' - always thought that one sounded a bit like 'Last Train To Clarksville'!" That was part of our take two year's ago on Nazareth's sadly departed O2 Brooklyn Bowl gig, but we are off to see the guys again tonight at London's 229 The Venue.
