Danish genre-mashing quartet Vola released their acoustic EP ‘October Session’ worldwide at the end of May. ‘October Session’ contains two tracks: acoustic versions of ‘Gutter Moon’ and ‘Stray The Skies’. The original, electric versions of both songs were featured on the band’s critically acclaimed 2016 label debut ‘Inmazes’. Until now, both ‘October Session’ tracks were only available on the vinyl version of ‘Inmazes’. To accompany the release of the ‘October Session’ EP, today's Vid Of The Day is a stunning video for ‘Stray The Skies (October Session)’, which was shot in three different locations in Jutland, Denmark. A musical journey into the mind in pursuit of happiness, set to a mix of 70’s Progressive Rock, modern day Electronica and Industrial, topped off with clear, beautiful vocal lines - Vola will be returning to Germany and the UK this Summer playing festivals and headline shows. The band is currently working on the follow-up album to' Inmazes'.

Yes, we know it's hot. And it's getting hotter than a Tarka - which is like a Tikka - only otter. So - there's only one place to go - the pub - where they sell liquid relief from all your problems - not just sunburn and mozzie bites - they can also cure male pattern baldness, old age, nose hair and various veins. And nowhere better than where Deep Blue Sea is a playing. So - get on down to The Red Lion in Arundel tonight and wash away your troubles in a luxuriating wash of Deep Blue Sea - with a 100% guarantee that there are no sewer pipes in the region - you can skinny dip in safety.

Chris Robinson Brotherhood have announced the second leg of their 'Barefoot In The Head' (today's Track Of The Day) U.S. tour. The 35-date run, stretching from September though November, supports their new studio album of the same name due Friday 21st July on Robinson's own Silver Arrow Records. The tour covers much of the U.S. with stops across the Gulf Coast, Southeast, Northeast and Midwest. Along the way they'll return to The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY, make their first ever performance at the historic Columbus Theatre in Providence, RI and play three two-night stands at Variety Playhouse in Atlanta, GA, Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh, NC and Ardmore Music Hall in Ardmore, PA. The CRB kick off the run off with three shows in Florida supporting Blackberry Smoke, while the remainder of the dates will be "An Evening With..." headline performances featuring two sets each night.

"'Down To Earth's 'All Night Long' was evidence, if you needed it, that Rainbow could go toe to toe with Deep Purple as far as Hard Rock was concerned, however, I'm afraid Blackmore's classical opening to the title track of 'Difficult To Cure' was the equivalent of a drum solo for mine - cue bog break. Upon my return, Johansson's amazing keyboards on Purple's 'Child In Time' also saw a stunning vocal from Romero. And talking of drums solo's, Keith's opener on 'Stargazer' I'm reliably informed was a first, but if you wanted a bit of audience participation, then Romero invited the Rainbow faithful to handclap along to a cover of The Yardbirds 'Still I'm Sad' which was rounded off by another DK drum solo. Rainbow's classic 'Long Live Rock 'n' Roll' sparkled as much as Nouveau's red shoes whilst Blackmore's lack of rapport with the crowd on the night was all forgotten as the guitar legend finished a great set with Rainbow's 'Catch The Rainbow' plus a Deep Purple Holy Trinity: Black Night, Burn (with its amazing backdrop) and Smoke On The Water - cue mandatory air guitars."

And on the subject of bumping into Guns 'N Roses fans (see our Stone Free Festival review here and our Vid Of The Day) on the Jubilee Line after SFF - it was good to hear from our WRC mate Rob who indeed attended their gig that night at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. "My two penneth on Gun 'N Roses on Saturday night? In just less than 3 hours, a solid 5 star performance of their back catalogue - even threw in an AC/DC track for the loss of Axl's dog Rosie! Hard to think of a better live show I have been to. Class act, they nailed it." And talking off class act's - Rob also wanted to thank thank all the very helpful staff at the stadium who assisted his disabled wife Jill, who attended her very first Rock concert that night. Rob added "Good band to start with in her sixth decade - I think we've got a convert!" Nice one Rob - hope to see you at Ramblin' Man!

The soil of Southern Sweden has for a long time been a great breeding ground for Rock 'n' Roll - this trend continues manifested by Suicide By Tigers who we 'Introduce' today. Focusing on dynamic, Blues based Rock, with heavy guitars and strong melodies - just like Free, Taste and Led Zeppelin - they move from light and shade to tight and loose. 'True Believers' (today's Vid Of The Day) is the second single to be released from the Swedish four piece self titled album, hailed by European Rock media as one of last year's best debut albums.

The concept albums ‘Wanted’ (2014) and its predecessor ‘Beyond Man And Time’ (2012) are widely recognised as career highlights of the German Art Rock giants RPWL, who celebrate two decades together in 2017 with the release of the long-awaited concert movie ‘A New Dawn’ (see today's Vid Of The Day). Documenting the last stop on a tour in support of ‘Wanted’, the talented core quintet make a triumphant appearance in their hometown of Freising, Bavaria on 31st October2015 for an elaborate show comprising not only a Rock concert, but also a play and multimedia event!
