Rise To Remain - This Day Is Mine

Epic guitar solos fit to crack the sky open and thunderous earthquake-provoking levels of percussion ahoy! It's the new one from Rise To Remain who hold the envious position of being Britain's most exciting up and coming metal band.

This Day Is Mine follows on neatly from the triumphant Nothing Left, blending a powerful combo of virtuoso playing and indelible choruses.

Rise To Remain's debut LP speaks of a professionalism and consistency of a band many years their elder and This Day Is Mine strides forward buoyed up with similar confidence.

The band head off on their UK tour this December and you can be sure some serious mosh-pit action will be erupting in the front row to the blistering pace of tracks like this. One thing's for sure, This Day Is Mine pushes all the right buttons.

This Day Is Mine is released on the 19th December.

The Saturdays cover Aloe Blac's I Need A Dollar & Mann's Buzzin' for Radio 1's Live Lounge

Wowza! It's fair to say Radio 1's Live Lounge is usually something of a mixed bag, throwing up as many dodgy cover versions as it does inspired ones.

But The Saturdays' mash-up cover of Aloe Blac's I Need A Dollar & Mann's Buzzin' was without a doubt one of the best performances I've heard on the show in its long history.

Smooth, soulful and showing off the girls' harmonies to their very best, the track sounded thoroughly professional - a genuinely excellent performance that holds proper merit in its own right.

With Una playing guitar too, they without a doubt left their individual stamp on the track.

The girls also treated us to a lovely acoustic version of their latest single Notorious and talked about *that* Twitter beef with Example as well as their December tour and Mollie's love of Wimbledon.
