Guns N’ Roses jumped straight from the holes of Los Angeles to mega-stardom with their booming debut album “Appetite for Destruction”, a masterpiece from the 80’s that guaranteed a place for the band at the Olympus of Rock and Roll. With part of its classic formation, the quintet arrived at the new City of Rock closing the night of September 23 after The Who’s concert presenting their fans with a setlist filled with classics such as “Sweet Child o’ Mine”, “Knockin’ on Heavens Door” and “November Rain”.

The Miller Test – Eden Gaol
The Miller Test is set to drop their new single titled ‘Eden Gaol’ on March 19th. Featuring a slyly post-modernistic sound with a dark personality, ‘Eden Gaol’ with a dystopian neo-soul styled track with a solid hook and a signature sound.
About The Miller Test
London band The Miller Test will return on March 19 with a new single, Eden Gaol. Blending neo-soul, pop and rock, Eden Gaol is a toe-tapping, hip-hoppish slice of art-pop with echoes of Bowie and Funkadelic.
The track’s lyric is a sardonic political critique set against an apocalyptic backdrop, while the accompanying video, shot in a decommissioned Category B prison, matches this tone with its almost Polanski-esque mix of humour and horror.
The track is taken from the band’s forthcoming second album, Dead Blue, recorded at the tail-end of last year with producer John Winfield (Jimmy Somerville, Paul Mosley, Delta Saxophone Quartet) and scheduled for release later this year.
The Miller Test have been playing together for over a decade. For most of that they’ve been hiding out in a small East London rehearsal room, with occasional spells as the house band at Biddles Bros on the Lower Clapton Road.
Their debut album, This Funk Is Political, released last year, was described by Other Side Reviews as “a serious sonic experience that will stick with you” and “a must-hear release” by FV Music. It is available to stream from all major sites.

The Franklys – Keeper
Comprised of two members from Sweden and two from England, The Franklys have created something unique, commonly described themselves as “frenetic garage rock with heavy and psychedelic overtones”. But don’t fool yourself by assuming this is just another band on the London rock scene.
The Franklys have built a reputation for themselves as one of the most exciting live bands on the London circuit and beyond with relentless touring across the UK, Europe, and America the past couple of years. They are best known for being a band that can’t be pigeonholed and have proved that by making festival appearances at both Isle of Wight 2015, Download Festival 2016 and Rebellion Festival 2017.
May 2017 saw the release of their debut album ‘Are You Listening?’, which received praise from publications such as ‘Louder Than War’ and ‘Vive Le Rock’ as well as radio stations such as BBC 6 Music where Steve Lamacq described the first single as ‘The best thing they’ve done to date’.
The latest single to be released from the album is the fourth track ‘Keeper’, a dark number with a haunting bass and drum intro executed by bassist Biggs and drummer Clark. The song slowly builds into an upbeat indie-style chorus and brings out some heavy guitar-riffing from Broberg along with some serious cymbal bashing. The vocals, which start off merely as a whisper, soon transforms into howls where Ahlkvist declares she will keep him, her, or even it, for herself.
Immerse yourself in the mad and peculiar world of The Franklys. You just never know what you’re gonna get.

URN – Silently, I’m Still Screaming
Urn has also completed the writing process on their sixth album which is tentatively entitled “;”(Semicolon) and have been in talks with Thom Hazaert (Thom Hazaert Company/Ellefson Music Productions) to produce the upcoming album with a potential 2018 release date. The band also is in the process of booking tours that will have them return to Canada and Mexico in 2018.
“Many fans had given feedback that this song was one of their more favorites off of the album, so we wished to honor them by doing this video. We also wished to showcase our guitarist, Christopher Migdalski’s lead work on this song, as he has been a role model for those afflicted with Parkinson’s Disease and how to overcome disabilities to still pursue his life dream. Our hope is that this will inspire those to continue on in their battle and achieve whatever dreams/goals that they have.”
