​They are the very spirit and rebellion of true, southern-focussed rock and roll - with no apologies.

Belfast band Silent Running, one of Ireland’s biggest musical exports in the 1980s, and having released two studio albums since their 2019 reunion (including last year’s 'NorthStar'), have issued a brand-new single, 'Back Into The Fire.'

The song, a driving, anthemic rock song about taking the knocks and finding strength to go again, is the first taster of what will be the band’s next, and sixth, studio album.

Scottish contemporary rock band Mason Hill will release their new album 'World So Wonderful' on 23rd October on 7Hz Productions.
Produced by Dan Weller, the album can be pre-ordered at: https://eyesoremerch.com/bands/m/mason-hill/

Final taster-single from the album, 'Tainted Wings,' is out now.
Of the song, the band's new vocalist Tom Ward says:
"This was the track which I first wrote a chorus for the lads as part of my audition process - the chorus almost spilled out of my mouth when I stepped up to the mic in my home studio.
This track feels raw but edgy, it ticks all the boxes for a modern rock anthem - heavy AF riff, check; belter of a chorus, check; breakdown, check; Solo? You betcha! We feel this will be a fan favourite, as it's definitely one of ours!"

"Sari Schorr is now Running Wild, vocally unfettered and creatively free; her decision to wait for the right songs and the perfect studio partnerships to come along totally vindicated."

Emerging Portsmouth based outlaw country artist Jukes has released a new single, 'Down.'

It follows on from debut single 'Sunburn,' which pinned his emotional and darker storytelling colours to the mast.

'Down,' however, delivered in Jukes' gravelly bass-baritone voice reminiscent of Tom Waits, Nick Cave or Amigo The Devil at their storytelling best, carries a more cinematic feel, as the singer explains: "I've always been influenced by the tones, and the visual style, of cinema; how one shot can speak a thousand words. Wes Anderson has played a big part in this inspiration; from Asteroid City to The Grand Budapest Hotel, he has always managed to speak to me through his shots, his edits.
This song combines sounds that match this visual styling, along with lyrics that explore the darkest depths of depression... this is Down."

Jukes is the intersection of heavy metal grit and raw, outlaw country storytelling.
Merging a metal-inspired aesthetic with deeply emotional acoustic songwriting, Jukes delivers a vulnerable yet intense experience that explores mental health, survival, and the open road.

Eight acts, featuring sixties legends The Manfreds and seven contemporary acts from the blues rock scene, will perform in aid this year of Children With cancer UK.
​(Other names and special guests will also be announced over the coming months).

Formerly known as Manfred Mann, The Manfreds had a run of giant hits in the sixties with songs like 'Do Wah Diddy Diddy,' 'Pretty Flamingo' and '5-4-3-2-1.'
The band’s singer Paul Jones is widely acknowledged as a great of British blues, and hosted the BBC Radio 2 Blues Show for three decades.

Among the contemporary acts supporting the Manfreds will be Elles Bailey, one of the UK’s finest vocalists, and noted blues duo When Rivers Meet.
Other acts on the bill include guitar-great Ben Poole, award-winning vocalist Kyla Brox, blues proggers Burning Rope, soul-blues band Connolly Hayes and hosts The Milk Men.

Milkfest is the brainchild of acclaimed British blues rock band The Milk Men, with the band’s guitarist Adam Norsworthy as the festival’s organiser.
"We are delighted to be able to put on another stunning range of blues-influenced acts that span seven decades, from sixties legends to contemporary greats," says Adam.
"This year’s chosen charity is Children With Cancer UK, who have been supporting families and childhood cancer research since 1988, developing kinder treatments, improved public and scientific understanding of childhood cancer."

Ruts D.C. will present '50 Years of Ruts music 1977-2027' when they head out on their UK Tour in April, and again in October, of next year.

Taking in twenty dates (with plans to announce more) across England, Scotland and Wales, the shows are a celebration of The Ruts and their music, which exploded out of the punk movement and continued beyond, across the decades.
Tickets: https://www.seetickets.com/tour/ruts-dc-present-the-ruts

In 1977, The Ruts emerged from London with a sound unlike anybody else around them; the raw urgency of punk collided with reggae, dub and rock, driven by a fierce sense of purpose from the original lineup of Malcolm Owen, Paul Fox, Dave Ruffy and Segs Jennings.

Making an impact with the singles 'In a Rut,' 'Babylon’s Burning,' 'Something That I Said,' 'Jah War,' 'Staring At The Rude Boys' and 'West One (Shine On Me)' along with albums such as 'The Crack' (one of the defining British punk albums of its era) The Ruts were politically aware and musically fearless, with a sound that refused to stay within punk’s boundaries.

After losing Malcolm Owen in 1980, the remaining members re-invented themselves as Ruts D.C., eventually losing Paul Fox in 2007.
But Ruts D.C. remain a living, evolving band, featuring musicians that were there, ably abetted by Ruts D.C. guitarist of 14 years, Leigh Heggarty.

The band have celebrated the album announcement with the release of, first, lead-off single 'Under The Gun' and now second taster, 'Gonna Raise Hell.'
​
"'Gonna Raise Hell' is a straight up invitation to give a hundred and ten percent to everything you put your mind to," says Dan Reed.
"From the obvious of partying into the night, but also to romance, to celebration, even to whatever your passion is for in life... and accept that sometimes what we believe are angels in our lives come with a dark side. So let's raise hell together... and see what tomorrow brings!"
