Florence Black - Breadfan


Time to introduce a great cover.

"Breadfan" is a heavy metal song originally recorded by BUDGIE, appearing on their 1973 album "Never Turn Your Back on a Friend". The title refers to a person's relationship to money, "bread" being slang for money. The lyrics highlight the moral dilemmas on what to do with money; keep it, give it away, spend it and to ultimately be free of it and not to let it rule your life.


Today's cover is made by the Welsh trio FLORENCE BLACK, taken from their "The Final EP". Recorded by Jeff Rose. Written by BUDGIE. Performed by FLORENCE BLACK, enjoy!

Feeder - Universe of Life


"All Bright Electric" is the forthcoming ninth studio album by the Welsh rock band FEEDER. It is set to be released on October 7, 2016. Two singles were released from the album, "Universe of Life" and "Eskimo".

On July 4 2016, the band released a short video announcing the dates of a September-October tour, along with a teaser of an upcoming song. On July 15, 2016, the band announced the new album. On the same day, they premiered the album's lead single, "Universe of Life". Grant Nicholas commented on the album: "I wanted the album to really capture FEEDERs heart and soul. For us the journey the music takes the listener on is still so important, and that is what still drives me to make the best music we can" and described its recording sessions "exciting as making our first album "Polythene"".

On August 25, 2016, the band released the track "Eskimo", along with a music video accompanying the release. Grant has said that the track "is a song about a journey of self discovery. We are always looking for the right path in life in which to take and are often casualties of our own misguidance and inner demons." In addition, he said that "We really wanted a trippy, almost psychedelic style video to capture the groove and darker spirit of the song; a modern twist on the 60’s psychedelia imagery with the band more in silhouette." It was also announced that FEEDER would headline the RFL Grand Final at Old Trafford, playing to an estimated 75,000 people on October 8th, 2016.

FEEDER are a Welsh rock band formed 1992 in Newport, Wales. They have released eight studio albums, three compilations, two EPs, and 34 singles.

The new album is going to be released as Limited Edition 180g Heavyweight Gatefold Coloured Vinyl, featuring three bonus tracks. This Vinyl LP includes a digital download version of the album redeemable on day of release. Hurry and you will get it signed!
Order here!

FEEDERs music has been inspired by a wide variety of artists and styles, including THE POLICE, NIRVANA and THE SMASHING PUMPKINS. Their early material showcased a heavy rock sound reminiscent of grunge, but the band would later introduce more acoustic aspects into their music, including elements of pianos and string orchestras.


The band was formed under the name of REEL by vocalist and guitarist Grant Nicholas, drummer Jon Lee and bassist Simon Blight, three of the four members of RAINDANCER, after the departure of that band's other member, guitarist John Canham. However, Blight left REEL later in 1992, and the band played with many session bassists before hiring Taka Hirose in 1995, a year after the band signed with The Echo Label.



Today's tune "Universe of Life" is taken from the upcoming album "All Bright Electric", "FEEDER" are back in scintillating style". At first when I heard this tune I thought about FAIR TO MIDLAND, similar but not them, but close, god I miss them, anyway, enjoy this, as it's good!

Skindred - Kill The Power


Skindred is a British alternative band formed in Newport, South Wales in 1998. Skindred's musical style mixes metal, alternative rock, reggae and punk. The band also integrate elements of dancehall, jungle, hardcore, hip hop, drum and bass, dubstep and various other influences into their music. Skindred are well known for their energetic and involving live performances.



Skindred fuse heavy metal, punk rock, hip hop, electronica and reggae influences to create a unique style and sound. The band has previously referred to this style as "Ragga metal". Benji Webbe has also jokingly referred to the band's musical style as "nu-reggae", in reference to the term nu metal. Although Skindred has sometimes been compared to Bad Brains, Webbe states that "To someone who doesn't know anything about reggae music, of course we're going to sound like Bad Brains. It's like someone who doesn't know anything about opera might say that Pavarotti sounds just like Mario Lanza. But when your ears are trained and you know what you're looking for, you're going to say, 'Shit no, Mario Lanza don't sound nothing like Pavarotti.'"

About the latest album release, lead singer Benji Webbe had this to say: “Kill The Power is our fifth studio album...We are more than excited to unleash this Skindred bomb on the world! Kill The Power is for all them that are sick of being the underdog, and wanna step up and destroy all those who oppress and hold them down! Use this album as a backdrop to overcome and take your life back! We ain’t fighting the power no more – we are definitely killing it!!

Todays tune "Kill The Power" is the title track from the fifth studio album from Welsh reggaemetal band Skindred. Released 27 Jan, 2014.

Bullet For My Valentine - Riot


Bullet for My Valentine are a Welsh heavy metal band from Bridgend, formed in 1998. The band is composed of Matthew Tuck (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Michael Paget (lead guitar, backing vocals), Jason James (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Michael Thomas (drums). They were formed under the name Jeff Killed John and started their music career by covering songs by Metallica and Nirvana. Jeff Killed John recorded six songs which were not released; two of these tracks were reworked later in their career as Bullet for My Valentine. Financial difficulties dictated the name change, which was followed by a change in music direction. In 2002, the band secured a five-album deal with Sony BMG. The band has stated that their music is influenced by classic metal acts such as Metallica, Iron Maiden, and Slayer. The band is part of the Cardiff music scene.




Todays tune "Riot" is the second single from the fourth studio album "Temper Temper", released on February 11, 2013. The album was once again produced by Don Gilmore, who worked on the group's last album, 2010's Fever.
