New episode out now.
Pleased to announce Wolf Jaw 'Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda'
About the band Wolf Jaw are from Cannock
Tom Leighton - Guitar/Vocals
Dale Tonks - Bass/Vocals
Karl Selickis - Drums
UK based hard rock trio WOLF JAW drop brand new lyric video 'Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda' to mark the one year anniversary that saw their van and equipment stolen which prevented them from finishing their UK tour.
The tragic event saw fans from all over unite and set up a page to help them. This video is a tribute to those people. The video also shows the journey of Wolf Jaw and how the band have progressed from playing small clubs and pubs to the notable Download Festival, an achievement that many bands can only ever dream of!
The track comes from their 2019 album The Heart Won't Listen.
Check out the single Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda

Described by Judas Priest's legendary front man Rob Halford as one of his "favorite up and coming rock bands", Wolf Jaw's combination of raw
power and passion for their music has created a sound that's described
as “Thunderous Rock'n'Roll” by their loyal fans and reviewers alike.
You can be sure that every time this power trio hit a stage you’re in for a
rollercoaster of riffs, solid grooves and choruses that will have you
singing all the way home and forever more; they make sure you don't
forget them in a hurry.

My thoughts
Okay So I will confuse I don’t know a lot about this band.
But I like what I’m hearing the guitars sound big and overall its well prodiced and clean.
It’s a band I struggle to say if you not sure if you will like them listen to so and so, I feel if you like heavy Rock you will like Wolf Jaw go and check them out
A band I will be keeping an eye in 2020-2021

On this Episode I discuss the cancelled utillta drive in shows and supporting local venues.
I feel that to help try and allow us to all get back to normality and attending shows, we all need to ensure we are doing our bit with covid weather that be personal hygiene or wearing a mask, enough is enough its time too many people are still suffering.
We all want live music back ASAP.

New episode out now.
This is my rally cry to everyone; the music industry needs help to survive.
Enough is enough.
Today we come together with the rest of the UK music industry to show our support for #letthemusicplay a campaign highlighting the crisis faced by the live music sector. We need the UK government to listen and act now to help protect venues that could be forced to close for good, aswell as supporting the workforce that make up the industry.

On the 28th June 2020, I sat down with Mace Beyers from @Grey Daze, (Chester Bennington first band to discuss their brand new release Amends, which was released on the 26th June 2020.
We talked about the earlier shows with Chester, The recording process and their mindset during the recording of the album special guests. And what’s next for them.
For me personally I grew up loving Linkin park and When the news of Chester’s passing on the 21st July 2017, its tore me apart inside. In 2019 when Grey Daze announced that they would putting out an album with re worked songs with Chester.
I like the rest of the world waited with anticipation, and I can safely say this album is amazing, it has been done with pride, care, love and of course respect.
My focus was to simply try and do this everyone justice and #Makechesterproud #ForyouChester
I wanted this to come from a fan perspective and to be able to show respect and care with my approach to this. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did putting this together.

In a time where all events have been affected and only music releases to look forwarded to, things within the industry have really stepped up.
Live nation announced today Gigs are back well in the form of a drive in event,
Across 12 venues utilita live from the Drive-In, the idea seems cool but im on the fence in terms of how this will work, but the main thing I have taken away from this is live music is back in some shape of form
Also details have come out from various music outlets about a leaked email from live nation regarding artists taken cuts in fees before a show, no doubt regardless of the pandemic when an artist’s signs up for an event there will be a contract with T&C in there so perhaps if there is any truth behind the leaked email then. This will be no different.
I MUST STRESS that no official announcement has been made but live nation so this is to be taken with a pinch of salt.
I just hope that people all work together to help each other get back to some sort of normality, perhaps if there are to be changes then people who may not have had a chance get a chance such as smaller promotions companies.
Keen to get your thoughts
Thank you for checking the eposide out
