All roads led to London's O2 Academy Islington last night to see Snakecharmer as they continued their eleven date UK tour showcasing their new album 'Second Skin”', which was released last Friday. Excellently supported by both Rebecca Downes and Knock Out Kaine, the band featured Simon McBride on lead guitar, bass guitarist Neil Murray, guitarist Laurie Wisefield (Wishbone Ash), drummer Harry James (Thunder, Magnum), keyboardist Adam Wakeman (Ozzy Osbourne) and vocalist Chris Ousey (Heartland). Slightly harder edged compared to their debut, but with roots still firmly planted in Bad Company, early Whitesnake and a hint of late 70's AOR, their set was strong, passionate, rocking and Blues-laden. With a review and more pics to come, check out today's Vid Of The Day.

Fresh from releasing their latest opus 'Starmourner' depressive Black Metal merchants Ghost Bath are playing not one but two headline London shows this week - the first at The Sebright Arms tomorrow night followed by The Black Heart the following evening!

The band were recently on the road in Holland, tackling seven dates supporting Tech Metal giants Textures and they return to their hometown on Saturday 3rd June when the play Camden Rocks. The band have also announced a new guitarist in Mikey G from Oxford metal 5-piece A Trust Unclean. 'Breathe' has gone on to receive high praise from media and fans alike and the past year has seen the band work tirelessly, expanding their reach and building a solid, dedicated following. They’ve taken to the stage at Euroblast Festival and embarked on a UK headline tour, seeing the real fruits of their labour at the final show in London, where the band comprehensively sold out Camden’s Black Heart. With the successful release of 'Breathe', 2016 proved to be a defining year for one of the country’s most exciting young Metal acts, with 2017 promising even more.

Dynamic Indie-Rock trio Auction For The Promise Club have recently released their new single ‘See Through’ (today's Track Of The Day), taken from their upcoming debut album 'Silence', which is out on Friday 9th June. Formed of 12 tracks, 'Silence' captures the band’s eclectic mix of musical styles, drawing on atmospheric and dramatic influences that range from fellow West country bombasters Muse to the icily romantic sounds of Siouxsie & The Banshees. The band, made up of siblings Zoe and Toby White Chambers and friend Perran Tremewan, have appeared at a number of UK festivals including Bestival, Boardmasters, The Great Escape, Y Not Festival, Radio 1’s Big Weekend and Looe Festival and have a number of upcoming shows in the UK with more to be announced.

All roads lead to London's O2 Academy Islington tonight to see Snakecharmer as they continue their eleven date UK tour showcasing their new album 'Second Skin”', which was released last Friday. Slightly harder edged compared to their debut, but with roots still firmly planted in Bad Company, early Whitesnake and a hint of late 70's AOR, this new record sounds strong, passionate, rocking and Blues-laden. The band was originally founded in 2011 by former Whitesnake members guitarist Micky Moody and bass guitarist Neil Murray along with guitarist Laurie Wisefield (Wishbone Ash), drummer Harry James (Thunder, Magnum), keyboardist Adam Wakeman (Ozzy Osbourne) and vocalist Chris Ousey (Heartland). In 2016, Moody left the band and was replaced by Irish born Simon McBride on lead guitar.

Finnish epic Metallers Wintersun have announced their new second guitarist - 27-year old Asim Searah.

The Magpie Salute have recently released their brand-new single ‘Omission’ (today's Track Of The Day), which is taken from their self-titled debut album which will also be released on Friday 9th June through Eagle Rock, Entertainment. The explosive album opener premiered on Rolling Stone and follows the roaring success of their four back-to-back shows at London’s Under The Bridge last month. The band will be returning to play dates in Europe this summer before embarking on a full US headline tour. Produced by The Black Crowes guitarist and co-founder Rich Robinson, the musically tight and expansive album was recorded live-in-the-studio in front of an audience at Applehead Recording in Woodstock, New York, except for this single. The album carries special significance as it marks the last recorded work by Eddie Harsch, the late Black Crowes keyboardist whose signature sound and gentle soul are woven into The Magpie Salute.

Susie Blue have been added to this year's Glastonbury Festival, despite only recently having played their first ever UK London shows over St. Patrick’s Day weekend. One of those dates included Bread & Roses in Clapham - who were so impressed by the band, that they chose them to play at their stage during the festival - fantastic news for the young independent band from Ireland. Susie Blue have also just released their brand new single ‘Be A Lady’ which is today's Vid Of The Day. The track confronts gender stereotypes within society and stands up for anyone who has ever felt rejected by society or judged for being who they are. The video features the band mucking around with a group of carefree children.

The Wokingham Music Club are hosting a double header of great music at The Whitty Theatre tonight at 7.30pm featuring The Jigantics and Fred's House.

In a rare break from his day job as the bass player with Status Quo, John 'Rhino’ Edwards continues a run of UK dates as Rhino’s Revenge hit London's iconic 100 Club tonight and promises a night of “straight ahead good time noisy Rock and Roll performed by an ace band”. The band now includes FM’s lead guitarist Jim Kirkpatrick and Uriah Heep's drummer Russell Gilbrook, who join regulars Rhino and Matthew Starritt to complete a stellar line up. In support of the shows, Rhino’s Revenge is releasing a heavyweight double A-side single featuring a new edit of 'Take ‘em Down' (Vid Of The Day - about a town called Kobanî) and 'Famous', ‘about people who want something for nothing’. Both songs are taken from the band’s second album, Rhino’s Revenge II, which has now been released as an extremely limited edition vinyl pressing of just 300 copies, each autographed and sequentially numbered by Rhino. This is a quintessentially English album and there’s something indefinable but very special about Rhino’s Revenge II that makes it irresistible. Rhino Edwards, a confessed musicoholic, has created a truly honest album which kicks like a mule; a rare commodity in today’s world.
