Absolution are just back from their mini European promo tour. The band did a week in Germany playing some club shows to great audiences, then played a few shows in the Netherlands with some live radio sessions including playing the legendary Countdown Cafe show on national radio to an audience of around 300,000 listeners! The guys are due to return to mainland Europe for more shows and festivals in 2017 and are playing one last UK show this year at The Quay Theatre in Sudbury, Suffolk this Saturday 26th November. Make sure you book now as the show is nearly sold out!

All roads lead to Beth Hart at The Royal Festival Hall in London tonight! Right now, the Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter is riding a creative tidal wave, firing out acclaimed albums, hooking up with the biggest names in music and rocking the house each night with that celebrated burnt-honey voice. Beth’s latest album, 'Fire On The Floor' sees this fiercely self-critical artist describe it as as “pretty frickin’ good”. In April 2015, she released 'Better Than Home': a critical and commercial smash that topped the iTunes Blues Chart and was crowned #4 Best Blues Album Of The Year by Mojo magazine. The release led her to fill Amsterdam’s Heineken Music Hall with 5,500 fans (her largest club show to date).

Today's Route 66 Track Of The Day features two tracks off the new album from Mike Zito plus previously unreleased music from Jeff Healey. There's also new tunes from Greg Billings featuring Brian Johnson, Metallica and Manchester band, We Signal Fire, some Prog Rock from Genesis and ELO (pictured) and hot rockin' tunes from The Who, ZZ Top, Jimmy Barnes, Joe Walsh and Fleetwood Mac.

Riveting Hard Rockers The Dead Daisies complete the UK leg of their massive six-week joint-headline UK and European Tour with The Answer at London's Electric Ballroom tonight! Consisting of Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake, Dio), John Corabi (Mötley Crüe, The Scream), Marco Mendoza (Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy), Brian Tichy (Ozzy Osbourne, Foreigner) and David Lowy (Red Phoenix, Mink) - the guys released their captivating new single ‘A Song And A Prayer’ in early November on Spitfire Music / SPV - which is today's Vid Of The Day.

Well the Queen Extravaganza was created and produced by Queen’s Roger Taylor (pictured) - so the drummer duly introduced the band himself at their London Hammersmith Apollo gig last Sunday night.

And what with Wrinklystock V just four days away - we also turn our Vid Of The Day clock back to Wrinklystock 2014 - another great tribute to Queen - The Bohemians!

The bad news is that there is no WRC Award winning Rock On The Ridge show this coming Saturday given that Bob & Jules are attending Wrinklystock V - of which there were only 14 tickets remaining as of last night! The good news is that today's Track Of The Day is last Saturday's ROTR show which featured Red Sky Mary, Inglorious (pictured), The Brew, Airbourne, Royal Blood, Dinosaur Pile Up, RavenEye, Scorpion Child, Blowback, Hand Of Dimes, Blacktop Mojo, The Virginmarys, Marcus Malone, Christopher Shayne, Rival Sons, Pearl Handled Revolver, Dead Letter Circus, Avenged Sevenfold and on their introducing stage Rusted Hero.

A combination of Rock, Funk and a serious nod to the Blues - Northsyde have grown into a well oiled music machine, capable of entertaining even the most discerning audiences from UK music festivals and supports: Guilfest, London's Ealing Festival and Cambridge Rock Festival, supporting Joe Bonamassa to rocking the stages at Queens Day Festival in Eindhoven, open air weekend festivals in Belgium and Holland and belting it out in Italy. Anyway tonight Northsyde will grace the Tuesday Night Music Club at the Comrades Club, 194 Brighton Road, Coulsdon, Greater London, CR5 2NF.

Our Wrinklystock V countdown continues today with just five days to go now to our 'Monsters Of Irish Rock' at the Mick Jagger Centre, Dartford on Saturday 26th November which sees headliners Limehouse Lizzy continue to keep the spirit of Thin Lizzy alive.

The WRC took in the Queen Extravaganza at London's Hammersmith Apollo last night. Created and produced by Queen’s Roger Taylor, it ended a special UK tour celebrating the 40th anniversary of Queen’s iconic album, ‘A Night At The Opera’, long viewed as one of the greatest rock albums of all time, which was played in its entirety from the beginning of the show and in order. Of course the second half continued with all the well-known classics - a doff of the cap to one of the greatest Rock bands of all time. With more pics to come - check out today's Vid Of The Day!
