Heart of Fire, the mind blowing single from LA’s modern day metal icons Black Veil Brides has had plenty of airplay since it was released.

Andy and Jake were kind enough to take time out of their hectic schedule recently to record an incredible interview and track by track for us ahead of their upcoming album release (27th October) and start of the UK tour.

They go through their huge sound, big songs, what it was like working with absolute legend that is Bob Rock who has worked with bands such as Metallica, Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, The Cult and Aerosmith.

These bright young men give you an insight into their mind and band.

NEWS: Sarea set to release new album ‘This Is Not Goodbye’

Formed back in 2008, Swedish band Sarea has been described as “a melodic punch in the face”. ‘Alive’, Sarea’s debut album, was released in October 2010 – a pacey album full of energy.

As reported back in December 2012, when the band toured the UK, I saw them play two dates – the B2 Norwich and The Dirty South in London – where they proved themselves as highly competent musicians, quickly winning over the audiences.

Sarea are now set to release their follow up album ‘This Is Not Goodbye’ on October 10th.

‘Downfall’ is the first single to be taken from the new album and it features a brand new music video.

If you’re a fan of melodic yet aggressive metal, in the same vein as In Flames, Killswitch Engage, Soilwork, Bring Me The Horizon etc., then this new album from Sarea is well worth checking out.

It’s safe to say that ‘This Is Not Goodbye’ really takes them to the next level.

Listen out for a track taken from the new album on tomorrow nights show!

INTERVIEW: Reagan Browne returns to England for a mini tour in October. We caught up for a chat.

‘Gypsy Woman’s Got The Groove’ is the new single from Texas born Reagan Browne. We played the song on the show last week and it produced one of the most positive reactions to a new song we’ve seen in a while. Not only does it feature Reagan in top vocal form, the feel-good hooks lead into polished solo work from guest guitarist Eric Johnson.

Reagan Browne returns to England in October for a short run of dates:

October 16th at The Roadhouse, Birmingham
October 17th at The Carlisle, Hastings (Free entry)
October 18th at Leo’s Red Lion, Gravesend
October 19th at Fiddler’s Elbow, Camden Town, London

Always up for a bit of banter, we caught up with Reagan to talk about working with Eric Johnson, Phil X, Billy Sheehan and Marty Friedman. We also discussed the back story to the new single, as well as the touring band members, but we began by first talking about the sweltering heat LA residents have been experiencing recently.

Keep up to date with Reagan Browne:-

INTERVIEW: Joanne Shaw Taylor speaks ‘The Dirty Truth’

In May 2014, Joanne Shaw Taylor reunited with her ‘White Sugar’ album producer Jim Gaines, and recorded a new studio album in Memphis. “The Dirty Truth” is a return to Joanne’s original sound that mixes rock riffs with blues influences. The album is released in the UK today, Monday 22nd September, on Joanne’s boutique label Axehouse Music.

“I wanted to go back into the studio in Memphis with Jim to retain the same vibe that we captured on the first album,” says Joanne. “The new album is a combination of rock and blues. It’s an exciting collaboration, and hopefully my fans will love the more stripped down sound.”

We spoke to Joanne on the anniversary of the passing of Jimi Hendrix. Before we began our chat about ‘The Dirty Truth’ and her upcoming UK tour, we asked Joanne for her thoughts on the day we celebrate Jimi’s life and works.

Joanne Shaw Taylor speaks ‘The Dirty Truth’ here:

The new album (buy it here) dovetails Joanne’s 14-date November UK Tour with former Whitesnake guitarist Bernie Marsden as special guest. The tour kicks off on Saturday 1st November at Norwich Epic. Click here for further details for all the tour dates.
