_{Welsh band Those Damn Crows released their debut album “Murder and the Motive” on 26th September. Like many others who have heard it I was full of praise for what is an excellent album. I decided therefore to have a chat with the guys to find out more about the album and have an opportunity to play a few tracks from it on the Show.}

_{I recorded an interview with the band via Skype on 4th October and this, along with 4 tracks from “Murder and the Motive” was broadcast on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 7th October. That Show is available now available on our MixCloud page -https://www.mixcloud.com/NIRocks/interview-with-those-damn-crows-on-the-friday-ni-rocks-show-7th-oct-2016/}

_{“The Last Hero” is the fifth album from Alter Bridge and it is released by Napalm Records on 7th October. I don’t imagine that Alter Bridge really need an album recommendation from me to boost their sales, but I’ve always said that these posts were an acknowledgement of the great music that we received at the station. On that basis leaving Alter Bridge out would be criminal; as “The Last Hero” is an absolutely fantastic album. Over the past few weeks I’ve played the singles “Show Me A Leader” and “My Champion” on the Friday NI Rocks Show. Both tracks also feature during an interview with singer Myles Kennedy provided courtesy of AC promotions which we broadcast on the Show on 7th October.}

_{Following the release of the critically acclaimed album “Up” and the addition of British drummer Hayley Cramer to the lineup, Pop Evil have confirmed UK and European dates in November 2016. They also release the single “Take It All” on 4th November 2016}
