The Über Rock Singles Club Daily Pick – Wage War
Monk’s latest choice sees these Floridian heavyweights melding hardcore-infused metal monstrousness with country tropes as they engage in a final showdown with the enemy that is musical mediocrity in this hard-hitting latest taster from their imminently impacting fifth album, ‘Stigma’, landing digitally next month and physically later in the year…

The Über Rock Singles Club Daily Pick – Vendetta Love
Monk’s latest selection sees a very welcome return to the Club by Irish sleaze-infused grungers (or maybe that should be grunge-infused sleazesters – hell, you pick that one) Vendetta Love, who are sticking our ears together with their latest standalone offering:

The Über Rock Singles Club Daily Pick – Highly Suspect
There’s nothing suspect about Monk’s latest selection, and with the warmer weather we’ve been enjoying of late there’s no better time for a dose of ‘Summertime Voodoo’, the lead single from this Cape Cod crüe’s forthcoming new album, ‘As Above, So Below’, due for release on 19 July.

The Über Rock Singles Club Daily Pick – The Commoners
We enjoyed enjoyed David O’s first #DailyPick so much we allowed him to have another one… and once again it’s from an act who blew him away (and he actually told them this at the bar) the first time he saw them live, this time when they supported Samantha Fish and Jesse Dayton in Bristol last October….

The Über Rock Singles Club Daily Pick – Troy Redfern
Having had the joy of seeing Troy Redfern at Steelhouse Festival last year, and being impressed with both his personal performance and that of his band, the option for David O’Neill to step into the breach and select the slide guitar wizard’s latest offering as the latest #SinglesClub #DailyPick wasn’t going to pass our Valleys correspondent by.

The Über Rock Singles Club Daily Pick – Chaser
No, it’s not The Beast or The Dark Destroyer. It’s not even The Governess or The Vixen. No, it’s the SoCal melodic punk combo made up of childhood friends Mike LeDonne (vocals), Jesse Stopnitzky (bass/vocals), Bill Hockmuth (guitar) and Davey Guy (drums), who are drawing ‘Fault Lines’ across the rock ‘n’ roll Überverse with this latest taster of their first new album in three years…

VIDEO OF THE WEEK: LOCK HORNS
The Northern Ireland scene has been very much at the forefront of our thoughts this past week, mainly due to this year’s epic Bloodstock Metal 2 The Masses competition drawing to an equally epic conclusion (more on that elsewhere on the site). Two of the competitors – Armagh antagonists Astralnaut and Belfast bruisers The Boat Sank – featured as Singles Club daily picks, and so it is perhaps appropriate that our latest audio-visual treat comes from a previous winner of the contest, in the form of County Down demolition mob Lock Horns, who are taking things down to the bare ‘Skin And Bones’ with this second taster of their forthcoming sophomore album.

The Über Rock Singles Club Daily Pick – Black Diamonds
Monk’s latest choice sees these Swiss hard rockers preaching to the converted… yes, rock ‘n’ roll is indeed our religion, and this is a damn fine sermon being delivered with pomp, verve and shit tons of positive attitude:

The Über Rock Singles Club Daily Pick – Shotgun Mistress
We break what seems to have been something of an Irish stranglehold on this week’s playlist with a trip down under, as these Melbourne mayhem makers serve up another more than appetizing taste of their upcoming second album by ushering us into the company of the luscious ‘Mary Jane’, with the help of the ever colourful Electric Mary frontman Rusty Brown.

The Über Rock Singles Club Daily Pick – Cell Games
Jodorowsky’s ‘Dune’ and The Deftones may seem strange bedfellows, perhaps no weirder than Jodorowsky’s Dune itself, but they were the two main influences behind our latest selection. As might be expected, the composite results of blending these elements together has produced something dark and strangely beautiful.

The Über Rock Singles Club Daily Pick – Astralnaut
For the second successive day, we are on our home turf as our latest selection comes from renascent Norn Iron stoned doomsters/doomed stoners Astralnaut, who are taking us to the ‘Tipping Point’ with the latest taster from their imminent self-titled debut album, which has been an epic 15 years in the making and is definitely well worth the wait… Thankfully, Ben Shepherd is nowhere in sight as the Armagh antagonists lay down some seriously heavy riffage guaranteed to take us over the edge:
