As Lions (Vid Of The Day) have unveiled the lyric video for their brand new track ‘Bury My Dead’ – taken from their debut full-length album 'Selfish Age', out on Friday 20th January via Better Noise Records. The track is a punishing dose of British Metal, with a chorus that keeps in line with the band’s effortless ability to produce stadium size tracks. 'Selfish Age' is the follow-up to As Lions’ debut EP 'Aftermath' released earlier this year and is produced by award-winning producer David Bendeth (Of Mice & Men, Paramore, Bring Me The Horizon) and Kane Churko (Five Finger Death Punch, Disturbed, In This Moment).

Birmingham singer Stealth has unveiled ‘How Much Further’ (today's Track Of The Day), the third and final track to be taken from his new EP 'Verse', out last Friday on his own imprint Chubby Puppy. ‘How Much Further’ is a big Bluesy anthem, co-written and produced by two-time Grammy nominated Michael Angelo, with rolling guitars and captivating handclaps paving the ways for Stealth’s weighty vocal tones, which have drawn comparisons to the likes of Rag’n’Bone Man and Hozier.

"The Bottom Line’s strong stage presence had been evident from the moment they entered the stage, partly due to the improved, stronger lighting, partly due to the band’s obvious professionalism, but primarily due to the charisma and self-belief of front man Callum Amies. Callum is an expert at relating to and working his audience. Helped by the band’s melody bound riffs, rampant rhythms and the instant catchiness of their songs, he soon has them clapping, bouncing, dabbing and even, at one stage, crowd surfing, at will. The only time for a break in the perpetual motion generated by the set is when Callum is left alone on stage for a (slightly) quieter, (slightly) slower solo. But not for long; within minutes the rest of the band return for a fabulous finale and all hell broke loose again - on stage and off it!"

In 2016 Provogue released 'Heal My Soul', Jeff Healey's ‘lost’ album comprising twelve previously unheard tracks, all rescued from the vaults, lovingly restored by the guitarist’s estate and alive with his spirit. Now they've released 'Holding On', a perfect bookend to the critically acclaimed 'Heal My Soul' and 2016 in general, which saw a continuous celebration of what would have been Jeff’s 50th birthday. Featuring five rare Jeff Healey studio tracks that were all recorded during the same time period as ‘Heal My Soul’ (‘96-’98) and a concert recorded in Oslo, Norway in 1999, a live snapshot of a brilliant performer at the top of his game, 'Holding On' is the perfect complement to 'Heal My Soul'.
