Australian
rocker Cassidy Paris has a very bright future ahead of her.
Raised on classic hard rock and inspired by artists such as
Halestorm, Joan Jett, Pink, Pat Benatar & Avril Lavigne, the
fiercely determined young woman is on a mission to inspire a new
generation.
Since the beginning,
Cassidy Paris has released two sold out eps – “Broken Hearted” &
“Flirt”, and her first full length record "New Sensation" was
released via Frontiers Music Srl in December 2023.
At the age of 11,
Cassidy met singer songwriter Paul Laine (ex Danger Danger & The
Defiants), who developed a unique mentoring role. Paul took
Cassidy under his wing to help develop her as an artist and
songwriter, collaborating with her in songwriting and producing
her music.
From early on,
Cassidy wanted to deliver a strong message through her music. In
2018, Cassidy Paris released the song 'Stand', a heartfelt song
about ‘standing up for yourself’ as a young woman. Cassidy
continues to deliver that message and promotes anti-bullying
through her performances. Paris enjoys performing at many
schools around Melbourne, and is an active campaigner for the
worldwide ‘Metalheads Against Bullying’.
Cassidy's talents have not gone
unnoticed by some of the most prestigious companies in the
industry, with brands such as Fender Guitars, Ernie Ball Strings
& Wornstar Clothing all endorsing her.
Cassidy Paris has built
up a strong connection with her growing worldwide fanbase that
has already seen her perform in America, Japan and the UK.
2022 saw Cassidy Paris
tour Australia with the likes of John Corabi & H.E.A.T, along
with a 12 date UK tour. In 2023, Cassidy Paris signed to
Frontiers Music SRL. She released her debut album 'New
Sensation' in December to rave reviews, many including a Top 10
Album Of The Year.

John
Verity is one of the most consistent performers on the blues
rock circuit today, having honed his craft over more than 60
years on the circuit at every level.
Born in West
Yorkshire he played in many bands in the area and beyond before
moving to Florida. Whilst there he opened for Jimi Hendrix,
Janis Joplin, Mountain and others, then on his return to the UK,
taking a somewhat different direction with time as front man
with Argent.
When Argent disbanded John spent time
primarily in the studio, producing, recording, and guesting
with, among many others, Ringo Starr, The Zombies, Smokie,
Charlie, Motorhead, and Saxon.
However. live performance
has always been the driving force for JV, and though he does
love studio work it wasn’t long before the need to play live
drew him back…
These days it’s easy to find John back out
on the road with his own band and material, and experiencing a
musical renaissance across the country at a venue near you!
The John Verity Band currently features: -
Guitar/vocals-John Verity, Drums-Chris Mansbridge and bass,
Roger Inniss.
Son
Of Man was formed by former MAN members GEORGE JONES (guitar)
and BOB RICHARDS (drums), following the sad passing of George’s
father (and Man founder) MICKY JONES, initially to pay homage to
Micky’s work at a series of tribute concerts.
Now, some years on
from this, SON OF MAN is a recording band in their own right,
also featuring, RICHIE GALLONI (lead vocals), MARCO JAMES
(keyboards) and RAY JONES (bass)
The latest album
GASLIGHT is available now on Cherry Red Records
The
Darker my Horizon combine the huge 80's stadium filler sound
with the techniques and power of their modern arena equivalent
to create a unique mix that encompasses everything from
foot-stomping in yer face rock anthems to heartfelt ballads, and
everything in-between. Their melodious and heartfelt music has
seen them cover the UK since their inception in 2015, as well as
jaunts into Europe (Czech Republic, France & Belgium).
4 unbelievably well received albums & an
E.P in just 7 years, and 100's a live shows make The Darker my
Horizon one of the busiest proudly independent rock bands in the
UK. Headlined iconic venues, been guests to platinum selling
artists and performed on festival stages with the biggest names
- both established and new - 2023 is looking to be their busiest
year yet.
"Describing
Hell's Addiction as the "bastard child of an illicit three-way
between Skid Row, early Guns N' Roses and AC/DC", pretty much
sums up their balls-out approach to Rock ‘n’ Roll.
Originally a four-piece before becoming
five, Leicester's own Hell’s Addiction formed in 2010, with
their first album, the triumphant Raise Your Glass arriving in
2013.
In 2015, they started work on their
penultimate album – ‘Broken’. Released in July 2016 it received
critical acclaim across the board. Their long awaited album
'Nine O'Clock Horses' delivered their trademark sound in spades,
filled with anthemic crowd pleasers, and it was with some
surprise that the band announced they were calling it a day at
the beginning of 2024.
A sell-out 'one-off' gig at the Musician
in Leicester last December brought the band out of hiatus and
they're back once again this year to kick off the Christmas
festivities! With festivals up and down the country already
locked in for 2026, demand is once again expected to be high.
Hell's Addiction are back."

Burnt Out Wreck, fronted by and featuring Gary Moat, are as musically unpretentious and outstanding a band as they are an old-school, classic guitar-rock outfit.
Front man and songwriter Gary Moat, now more than three decades removed from the original Heavy Pettin, is still proving Rock Ain’t Dead, but on very much his own terms – uncompromising riff- led rock that takes the essence of AC/DC and adds sonic swagger and raucous roll in equal measure.
That Burnt Out Wreck sound was heard to fine effect on debut album Swallow and sophomore release This is Hell, a slightly darker affair that carried both lyrical wit and weighty, guitar-led grit.
Those albums and the band’s first five years led to well-received festival appearances (including a WinterStorm set that elicited an audience response of “one more song!” at set’s end), supporting the likes of Anvil, a clutch of headline shows and a return invite to BonFest, all of which have started to pay dividends for Gary Moat, Alex Carmichael (bass), Paul Gray (drums) and new guitarist Richard Upson (guitarist Andy McLaughlin is also part of the band for live work).
In 2022 Burnt Out Wreck released their big, bold and lyrically defiant third album Stand And Fight, which Gary Moat noted contained “eleven of the best songs I’ve written.”
He’s not wrong, with brooding, thick-riffed opener 'Big Up Yourself' acting as a musical portent for what follows – an album that musically bites as much as it lyrically stands, and fights, its hard rock ground.
