Beaux Gris Gris & The Apocalypse are back and they’re bringing receipts. The California-based (Louisiana & UK born) rock & roots powerhouse group release their explosive new single “Me-Ye-Ye-Yow!” on Friday, June 12th, 2026: a snarling, high-voltage blues-rock anthem that arrives alongside a music video as technically audacious as it is gloriously unhinged. There’s a message in “Me-Ye-Ye-Yow!” and it’s not subtle. We live in a world of mass corporate surveillance, centraliz


Evanescence 'Sanctuary' album review: 'Sanctuary' earns its place in Evanescence’s catalogue not by repeating history, but by having the confidence to continue it.
There are bands that evolve by reinventing themselves, and there are bands that evolve by delving deeper into what they already are. With Sanctuary, Evanescence firmly belong to the latter camp—and the result is one of the most compelling records of their career. From the opening moments of "Who Will You Follow", dark strings and haunting synths announce themselves with quiet authority, layered beneath ethereal harmonies that feel both familiar and newly purposeful. This is n

229 Club London 17th April 2026 The Closer to the Sun Tour rolled into the 229 Club, and for fans of melodic rock, it felt like a bit of a celebration rather than just another gig. Opening the night were Collateral, who wasted no time getting the room warmed up.

Robben Ford 'Two Shades of Blue' album review: From tribute to transformation - Robben Ford’s 'Two Shades of Blue' is a testament to musical evolution
Ever-evolving and shapeshifting, with no two albums sounding the same, the latest release from Robben Ford is a slick, sophisticated slide into the blues. His first solo album in five years, it was originally planned as a tribute to Jeff Beck. But things took an interesting turn.

Armed with a Stratocaster and a custom pedalboard fr

New York rockers Tyketto return with their sixth album, 'Closer To The Sun' a blast of floor-stomping, retro-flavoured rock that feels as lively as ever. No fuss, no overthinking, just big riffs, bigger choruses, and a band clearly still loving every minute of it. This isn’t just a nostalgia trip; it’s loud, hooky, and built for blasting with the windows down. 'Higher Than High' opens with a bluesy, 70s swagger straight out of the Deep Purple playbook, while 'Starts with a Fe
