"Next, it's time to break out the horn section for the title song 'Honest Man'. A personal song, telling of the artists struggles to make his own way in life ("Everybody's Just Serving Themselves, Nobody's Got Time fFor An Honest Man"). It's a great song with a great vocal and one of the album's highlights. If the title track has a great vocal, then track four, 'I'm Giving In' has a simply stunning one. Accompanied only with a piano, it's a sad song which has an almost hymn like quality, starting softly and building to the powerful mid-section before coming full circle. It's the song that perfectly demonstrates the artists vocal abilities and for me, is the stand out track on the CD. Track five, 'Quiet Company', brings a bit of Country into the Bluesy mix - it has a great melody and some subtle slide guitar to go along with that late night easy listening feel. After repeated plays it also reminded me somewhat of solo acoustic Springsteen in the 'Tom Joad, Devils and Dust' eras, which is by no means a bad thing. Another cracking song."

"Vocalist Reed, a hybrid of a sweaty Buster Bloodvessel with the facial expressions of Wilko Johnson, eased us in, or "starting slow" as Dan put it, with the groovy late 80's feel of 'Get To You' and the driving riff of 'Divided' from 'FAD', before the party really got going with Inglorious front man Nathan James joining Reed early doors for a blistering cover of Kiss classic 'Rock And Roll All Nite'. With fans from as far and wide as Norway and Italy in attendance, the network went into overdrive as the DRN faithful lapped up the energy plus the twists and turns of the set, which was no more evident than with 90's favourite 'Baby Now I', which included a classic mid-section medley of covers including Kiss's 'I Was Made For Lovin' You', Metallica's 'Enter The Sandman' and FGTH's 'Relax', before hatted bassist Melvin Brannon II smoothly stepped up to the mic with Earth Wind & Fire's 'Let's Groove'."

Liverpool based experimental Rock/Metal band Loathe have announced details about their upcoming debut album, ‘The Cold Sun’, which will be released via SharpTone Records on Friday 14th April. On the same day, the band will celebrate with a special album release show at Liverpool's O2 Academy 2. 'The Cold Sun’ signifies a forceful and shrewd testimony as the quintet nail their colours to the mast with this resolute mission statement; an ode to the times we’re living in and the murky future that we all find ourselves faced with. ‘The Cold Sun’ is a concept record; a compelling 35 minute long meandering into the depths of a dark, post-apocalyptic tale. The record follows the adjacent timeline of two protagonists, who exist during a dystopian future, stricken by tragedy and the ever looming apocalypse.

You don'’t need to be a die-hard 80's Metal fan to know that the fruits of an artistic alliance between Danger Danger singer Ted Poley and guitarist/producer Steve Brown of Trixter is going to make Melodic Rock fans rejoice! Indeed, Tokyo Motor Fist's debut album, released last month, is exactly what you would expect: catchy and uplifting Hard Rock, the way is should be as today's Vid Of The Day testifies! Well, with Greg Smith on bass (Ted Nugent, Rainbow, Alice Cooper) and Chuck Burgi on drums (Rainbow, Blue Oyster Cult, Joe Lynn Turner) you simply can’'t go wrong! Ted and Steve have been friends for a long time and the idea of doing a record together has been on the cards for many years. Now, thanks to Frontiers this concept has become a reality.

Today's Black On Blues Track Of The Day features tracks from Professor Louie And The Crowmatix, Big City Vin Mott, JW Jones, Guy Verlinde and Delta Moon.
