bsc-newIt’s a new week and a new look at the world of rock and metal here on rushonrock. And where better to start than with one of our favourite bands of the moment – the quite brilliant Black Stone Cherry!

Crazy stixman John Fred and the boys play Newcastle’s Metro Radio Arena tonight with some band from Canada called Nickelback… Amazingly the Canucks are judged to be the bigger rock stars and if refusing to do any print interviews is anything to go by then maybe they are. But that’s not all folks. Self Made Man has strayed from the comfort zone of his weekly column to bring us an exclusive interview with his heroes UFO ahead of the release of their new album and next month’s UK tour.

And if you want more there’s yet another installment of The ‘Load Down, featuring the latest of this year’s Donington monsters, we go backstage to check out the latest rushonrock Rider and The Vinyl Countdown gathers pace as we start to count down the top 30 seven inchers from the hair metal era.

Don’t forget the first reviews of BSC and Nickelback right here later tonight and make rushonrock your first port of call for all the latest rock and metal news, blogs and comment.
