After three years of relentless touring, Scarborough rockers This House We Built return with their anticipated second album and across eleven tracks, the band keep the energy high and the melodies supersized.

After leaving Deep Purple in 2022, and following the sad passing of his wife, Janine, it was time to focus on writing music once more: his music. The music that makes Steve Morse tick.

Laura Evans’ second album 'Out of the Dark' sees the Welsh singer-songwriter pushing her sound in an exploration of heartfelt blues ballads, anthemic pop choruses, underpinned with a soft rock appeal.

Cory Marks is back, boots stomping and whiskey bottle in hand, with his fourth studio album, Sorry For Nothing Volume 2. And if you thought the country-rock firecracker was slowing down anytime soon, think again. This album punches, snarls, and sways its way through a genre boundary-bending good time — with just enough grit, heartbreak, and outlaw attitude to keep you hooked. And hooked you will be from the sledgehammer opener 'Hangman'. 'Whiskey River' is a total barnstorme
