Well we came, we saw and we conquered yesterday - taking in some of the 250 bands and artists across 25 of Camden Town’s legendary music venues.

We were also lucky enough to do two amazing interviews with both Gary and Eric before the gig - so look out for that plus a review to come but in the meantime check out our photo gallery here.

One of our WRC member's who had already seen guitar whirlwind Eric Gales perform in Newbury on his current UK tour had promised that were in for a real treat and he was not wrong as last night we took in Eric at Nell’s Jazz & Blues in Kensington, London - the final gig of his UK tour. Not only that, but Eric was also joined by guitar maestro Gary Hoey who, amazingly, was playing the UK for the first ever time ahead of his European tour with Beth Hart. We were also lucky enough to interview both Gary and Eric before the gig - so look out for that plus a review and some photos to come, but in the meantime check out today's Vid Of The Day.

Belgian Dark Groove Rockers Diablo Blvd have announced their first European headliner tour in support of their highly awaited new album, 'Zero Hour', which is scheduled for release on Nuclear Blast on Friday 22nd September. The dates include two UK shows which will be the band's first ever in this country. 'Zero Hour' is a dark eleven-track-groove monster with haunting melodies, huge guitar riffs, driving bass and pounding drums. Taking their inspiration from both classic Metal acts like Type O Negative, Metallica and Black Sabbath and eighties new wave bands like Killing Joke, Sisters of Mercy and Gang of Four, Diablo Blvd craft a unique sound ideally suited for these dark times. The perfect soundtrack to the end times.
