We are back with another Vocalzone endorsee new round-up for you! This months round up contains some new music from Willie Lock and Rachel Aspe, various tour announcements and some gigs from John Verity.
Willie Lock
The wait is finally over! Willie Lock officially released his latest single, “Champagne & Parlays” on the 17th of April. Combining his signature soulful energy with a polished, high-stakes vibe, the track is a must-listen for anyone looking to upgrade their daily rotation. Head over to your favourite streaming platform and give this track the love and support it deserves.
Lena Scissorhands
Dynamic frontwoman Lena Scissorhands and her band Infected Rain have delivered some amazing UK performances this April which we had the pleasure of attending!
The band are now onto Europe with their final few days of their European tour before they bring the “Mutation Phase” across the globe to the US. Be sure to get yourself a spot in the pit if you have the chance!
Ronnie Romero
Renowned rock vocalist Ronnie Romero continues to prove why he’s one of the hardest-working voices in modern hard rock. He has just released a brand-new solo album, packed with soaring vocals and classic heavy rock energy that fans of traditional metal and melodic hard rock will love.
On the touring front, Ronnie will be joining German power metal legends Primal Fear for two exclusive live dates, before heading out on a major run in October 2026 alongside acclaimed guitarist Gus G. With such a busy schedule ahead, it’s clear Ronnie Romero’s momentum shows no sign of slowing down.
Rachel Aspe
Vocal powerhouse Rachel Aspe and her band Cage Fight are gearing up for a major moment. Their highly anticipated new album drops on May 1st.
To give fans a taste of what’s coming, the band recently released the crushing new single “Un Bon Souvenir”. This track showcases Rachel’s ferocious vocal delivery. In addition, Cage Fight will celebrate the album with an official launch party at Blondies on May 1st. It promises to be an essential night for metal fans in the capital. We were also delighted to see Rachel the subject of a feature in Metal Hammer magazine earlier this month.
Aonia
Huge news for the Stockport music scene! Aonia has officially been announced as the support act for Noa Gruman’s “Scardust” on May 25th.
It’s shaping up to be an unforgettable night of music that you definitely won’t want to miss, so make sure to mark your calendars and grab your tickets before they’re gone!
The Crawling
Doom/death metal band The Crawling have released their powerful new live album. Live in Belfast MMXXIV captures the crushing atmosphere of their performances in front of a hometown crowd.
Fans will also have another chance to see them live later this year when they appear at the Bloodstock Winter Gathering this December. With their immersive and heavy live sound, this performance promises to be a must-see moment for fans of extreme metal.
John Verity
While legendary guitarist John Verity has been keeping things relatively quiet on the touring front lately, he’s certainly not slowing down. He’s been locked away in the studio crafting new material, with a little help from Vocalzone Spray to keep his vocals in top form. If you’ve been missing his signature blues-rock sound, you’re in luck, as he’s stepping back into the spotlight for a run of highly anticipated live shows this month.
Don’t miss your chance to witness a true master at work at one of these upcoming dates:
-
Saturday, April 18th: Music Garden, Milton Keynes
-
Sunday, April 26th: East Quay, Whitstable
-
Tuesday, April 28th: 100 Club, London
Supersonic Queen
Supersonic Queen have been tearing up the stage on tour this year, and they have another exciting live appearance lined up: the annual Queen Convention in Mablethorpe this October. The band will be performing technically challenging deep-cuts for die-hard Queen fans, a true test for even the most seasoned vocalists.
Frontman Phil notes that Vocalzone remains at the heart of their vocal care regime, ensuring they hit every note with power and precision. Fans can expect an unforgettable live experience, with both the iconic hits and rare favourites delivered flawlessly.
Rich Lown
While Rich Lown is gigging a little less these days, he’s been keeping busy behind the scenes. Rich has had multiple songs featured in Netflix’s Love is Blind US over the last three seasons, including a standout sync in Episode 10 of the latest season with his track “This Song is For You.”
He’s also working with a producer on music for upcoming TV projects like Traitors and other European shows, all while planning to release more of his own music soon. For fans of cinematic songwriting and polished vocal work, this is an artist whose work you’ll want to follow closely.
Rebecca Downes
After a busy short tour, blues-rock powerhouse Rebecca Downes is gearing up for an April festival run with King King. She’s also celebrating the success of her latest studio album, which has received strong national radio play.
