English blues-rock trio The Brew released their sixth studio album, “Shake The Tree” via Jazzhaus Records on 23rd September. This was one of those albums that I knew I was going to like from the moment that I saw the e-mail appear in our inbox! I’d posted an interview with the band back in February 2014 following the release of their previous album “Control” and preceding their appearance in the Diamond Rock Club, Ahoghill in May of that year. I was highly impressed with the previous album and “Shake The Tree” certainly lives up to expectations. The single “Johnny Moore” is included on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 21st October.
LA based Heaven Below released their third album, entitled “Good Morning Apocalypse”, through the EMP Label on 14th October 2016.

The track “Running Under Satan’s Hand” which features Lita Ford on vocals was included on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 7th October.
