Today's Black On Blues Track Of The Day features music from Joakim Tinderholt, Good Time Charlie, Michael Packer, Gordon Meier Blues Experience, The Red Devils, Goat Roper and Big Joe Shelton.

Well the day started with some Rock 'n' Roll with some high energy punch from Melbourne all girl three-piece Tequila Mockinbyrd on the Big Entrance Stage (who we had the pleasure of interviewing after their set - watch out for that) and ended with the Classic Rock anthems of Rainbow and Deep Purple from Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow in the main O2 Arena, supported by Sweet (see today's Vid Of The Day). Sandwiched in between were The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown, Aussie Rockers Massive (who we also interviewed - namely lead singer/guitarist Brad Marr - what a great guy) and a full headline set at the Indigo 2 from Blue Oyster Cult! Not forgetting also all the new friends we made in various bars on a sweltering but brilliant day. Anyway, our photo gallery here, hopefully reflects what an awesome Festival it turned out to be!

Nashville Rockers A Thousand Horses released their new album 'Bridges' at the beginning of June. This follows on from the success of the band's debut 'Southernality', which featured the band’s hit single ‘Travelin’ Man’, which reached Number 1 in the Planet Rock airplay chart and spent 10 weeks on the A –List. 'Bridges' was produced by Corey Crowder, Dann Huff and the band themselves and highlights the perfect mix of their signature Rock-infused Country sound with catchy choruses and Southern charm.

All roads yesterday led to London's Stone Free Festival at The O2 Arena and the day, as expected, left no stone unturned! With a full headline set at the Inidigo 2 from Blue Oyster Cult (pictured) plus The Answer, Gun and many more, and the Classic Rock anthems of Rainbow and Deep Purple from Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow in the main O2 Arena, supported by The Sweet - it was awesome! We also managed to interview Aussie Rockers Massive plus another Melbourne Rock 'n' Roll outfit Tequila Mockingbyrd before their sets on the other Big Entrance Stage. There was also a Speak Easy Lounge, a Beer Garden and a Classic Rock Vinyl Fair, so watch out for hose interviews, a review and more photos over the coming week but in the meantime check out today's Rainbow Vid Of The Day!

Nuclear Blast recently announced the worldwide signing and return of Possessed! Few bands have done more to push the boundaries of extreme Metal than the legendary Possessed. Even fewer can create a unique style, which continues to set them apart from all others by being the very first in a genre they laid the foundation for. Possessed are by definition, the creators of Death Metal. Ever since they stormed onto the San Francisco Metal scene in the early 1980's, Possessed has been redefining and breaking the rules for Metal. Fans can expect Possessed's first full-length release in 31 years, sometime in 2018 and the band, consising of Jeff Becerra - vocals, Daniel Gonzalez - guitars, Emilio Marquez - drums, Robert Cardenas - bass and Claudeous Creamer - guitar, is also planning several tour dates showcasing new material that will change the face of Death Metal once more!

Today's Track Of The Day is the new single ‘Delirium Tremendous’ from the theatrical punks Felix Hagan & The Family! It’s a twisted Electro Rock stomper, reminiscent to the likes of Queen and Scissor Sisters, with a glitter-smacked take on its dark troubled themes that address the journey through substance withdrawal. ‘Delirium Tremendous’ is the first taste of the band’s forthcoming album due later this year. It follows the release of 2015’s 'Kiss The Misfits' EP, which saw the band achieve high profile acclaim from the likes of The Guardian and head out on tour with Frank Turner who said about the band, “Within about 20 seconds of the taking the stage, I was sold, a total convert, a newly-signed-up member of the cult.”

All roads lead to London today for this year's Stone Free Festival, Kilimanjaro Live and O2 extravaganza, with doors opening at midday. With a full headline set at the Inidigo 2 from Blue Oyster Cult plus The Answer, Gun and many more, and the Classic Rock anthems of Rainbow and Deep Purple from Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow in the main O2 Arena, supported by The Sweet - it's going to be massive. And talking of Massive (Vid Of The Day) we hope to be interviewing the Aussie Rockers plus another Melbourne outfit Tequila Mockingbyrd before their sets on the other Big Entrance Stage. With also a Speak Easy Lounge, a Beer Garden and a Classic Rock Vinyl Fair, watch out for those interviews, a review and photos over the coming week.

Aussie Metal Titans Thy Art Is Murder have announced a seven date UK Tour for this October including London's Electric Ballroom on Sunday 8th. Guitarist Andrew Marsh commented: "We are super stoked to return to Europe, and this time with more UK dates than we have played in a very long time. For too long we have neglected the UK and we are going to make up for it in style. Joining us on our album headlining tour will be our great friends and ridiculously heavy bands, After The Burial, Oceano, and Australian blackened hardcore juggernauts Justice For The Damned. We can’t wait to bring our new record to the road, and this will mark the very first leg of the 'Dear Desolation' world tour." The band; freshly reunited with original frontman CJ McMahon will release their fourth album later this Summer.

"It was hard to believe that despite having 20 albums under his belt and having toured with a veritable Rock who's who over the years, that the Massachusetts born Hoey, who once auditioned for Ozzy Osbourne in 1988, was making his London debut. A driving intro from AJ Pappas (bass) and Matt Scurfield (drums) saw the shades wearing Hoey ask the audience "Are you guys ready to have a good time?" before he counted in "1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4!" and his guitar and vocals duly proceeded to rip into a cover of The Alabama State Troupers 'Going Down' - power trio Blues/Rock at it's best. Wow!" That was part of our recent Gary Hoey Nell's Jazz & Blues review here and today's Track Of The Day is a relaxing chat that we had with Gary backstage before his gig.

Goat toes (wait... what?), vintage amps, sandpaper, CNN and Motown might not sound like they have anything to do with each other. But this seemingly odd mix actually comprises the sounds and words of Missouri Hard Rockers Shaman's Harvest latest album, 'Red Hands Black Deeds' due for release on Mascot Records on Friday 28th July. Lyrically, the band ventured into new territory, taking on the current political, social, and economic struggles the USA is facing as a nation. The result is a darker, visceral, layered and decidedly warmer, more analog sound compared to their 2014 Mascot album 'Smokin' Hearts & Broken Guns', which accumulated over 33 million streams to date.

Playing a full headline set and closing the afternoon festivities at Indigo at The O2 at the Stone Free Festival this Saturday will be the iconic New York Hard Rockers Blue Öyster Cult (Vid Of The Day and pictured at Ramblin' Man 2015), who throughout their four-decade career have garnered huge critical acclaim, in particular for the hit single ‘(Don’t Fear) The Reaper’ and other fan favourites including ‘Godzilla’ and ‘Burning For You’. They will be returning to London after a triumphant sold-out show at London’s Forum last Summer. Later in the evening, In the main O2 Arena will be headliners Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow joined by legendary British Glam Rock giants Sweet, who during the ‘70s had thirteen Top 20 hits including ‘Blockbuster’, ‘Hell Raiser’, ‘Fox On the Run’ and the evergreen feel-good anthem ‘The Ballroom Blitz’. Can't wait!
