Take to the stage and these guys transform a thunderous character change almost leaving you transfixed on what comes next.

We've already got the WRC t-shirt (pictured) - and it says Henrik Freischlader The Borderline, London September 2017 - so no guesses as to where we will be tonight! For the self-taught multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, producer and label owner, the stages in Europe have been a second home for him for many years now. A tour with his friend Joe Bonamassa gave the young artist the opportunity to play in front of a bigger audience, which led to performances with legends such as BB King, Peter Green, Gary Moore and Johnny Winter. Today, the German singer and guitarist is one of the most sought-after musicians of his genre worldwide.

"And if you were in any doubt that these guys weren't all about rhythm, melody and heavy riffs with an edge, then Visser's enticing guitar/vocal intro of their very first single from 'Archetype' 'Come In' (another part of their "Empire Strikes Back" video trilogy) and his rallying call "Let's fucking have it!" was immediately followed by a riff to die for plus Freedom's pounding drums - cue general head banging all round and Visser asking how we were doing - very nicely thank you - THE track that attracted me to BOE in the first place!" That was part of our take on Black Orchid Empire (Vid Of The Day) in London in February and a WRC contingent will be there to see the guys at The Anvil in Bournemouth tonight!

"But Dirty Thrills do indeed have charisma in abundance as testified by the engine room of their manic moustachioed/scarf laden bass guitarist Aaron Plows and drummer Steve Corrigan who seemed to savour every beat, although they did it slow it down with 'Lonely Soul', originally from their acoustic EP 'Devils Wine' - transformed by Fawdry's slide guitar that built nicely and naturally, that lent itself to great guitar solo outro. The inclusion of the Heavy Blues Rock of Dirty Thrills staple 'No Resolve' (originally from their debut album and the live version on their EP 'Sweetheart Of The Slums') understandably complemented both the set and the album itself - another great vocal and guitar solo - and a riff - if ever I heard one - that deserved to have James throw the mic stand around a bit! Indeed, Louis' late father Nicky (former vocalist of The Moody Blues V) and Nicky's old mucker John Bonham would no doubt both have been proud to see Louis' Plant-ish vocal gymnastics on the short 'Interlude' - its mystical path leading to the riffing barn-stormer and Crobot territory of 'The Brave' - the connection between the two tracks more palpable live than on the CD. Most probably the stand-out of the set." Read the whole of AJ's Dirty Thrills Crowndale, Camden, gig review from last week here.
