Bloodstock Metal 2 The Masses NI Grand Final – Belfast, Voodoo – 10 May 2024
It could be argued that, despite what had gone down the previous evening in a field just a mile or so south of tonight’s venue, this was the most important gig of the year to date on the Belfast music scene. Yes, “The Boss” may have enjoyed one of his farewell flings just 24 hours previously, but tonight was about six of this city’s finest proponents of the art vying for the honour of, well, playing a field, albeit in the heart of south Derbyshire, as the first contestants to draw blood (sic) in the final rounds of this year’s Metal 2 The Masses took to the stage for a fiercely fought competition in which there could be only one winner but ultimately no losers…

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.

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 – 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.
