Today's Vid Of The Day is the latest music video by the Strawkites featuring Georgia Paris on vocals and is about the extremes in our weather patterns. We first introduced you to these guys from Canterbury, England, in May last year. Duo Keith and Stewart who produce all their own songs are - surprise surprise - both big fans of Pink Floyd and have been writing and recording their own material for a number of years now and lately have been making their own videos.

In just five night's time The Mentulls make a welcome return to The Red Lion in Gravesend on Friday after two hugely successful appearances at our annual BluesFest and these guys are making waves in the industry and are undoubtedly going to play a huge part in the future of Bluesrock!

They are supported by The Rainbreakers who will be back again on the 4th July at this years Bluesrockfest and tickets for BluesRockfest will be on sale on Friday night for a special £10 as opposed to the normal advance price of £15 - what are you waiting for?

Released through the Mascot Label Group on Friday 29th July, Gary Hoey's 20th album 'Dust & Bones' showcases his Fender Stratocaster-driven fury alongside open-D-tuned resonator guitars plugged into half-stack! The massive sonic attack was essential for paying sincere and appropriate homage to some of Hoey’s influences, such as Johnny Winter ('Steamroller'), Robin Trower ('This Time Tomorrow') and Brian Setzer ('Who’s Your Daddy'), as well as a thrill-a-minute mash up of Robert Johnson meets Led Zeppelin ('Boxcar Blues' - our Track Of The Day). There’s also a classic power ballad ('Coming Home') where Lita Ford sings a duet with Hoey.

"Picking out individual songs for special mention is difficult, but 'Bad News' was a typically thunderous piece of no-nonsense rock ‘n’ roll, with rock hard riffs and powerful vocals, reminiscent of early Black Sabbath. 'Comedown', the band’s latest single, was a cautionary tale from the edge with a message of empowerment. The Franklys played it with an electrifying swagger and metallic crunch. 'You Go I Leave' started with a steady, rhythmic beat, soon complemented by a powerful guitar riff and strong, wailing vocals, building up to a creative crescendo."
