_{“Breaking The Surface” is the second album from Danish band Meridian and it was released on 16th September via Mighty Music (part of the Target Group). I must admit that I’m not familiar with their 2013 debut album “Metallurgy”; but the new album is definitely worth checking out. I played the lead-off single from the album called “City of Holy War” on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 1st July and again on 16th September.}

<sub>The Answer have revealed ‘Solas’, the anthemic new single and title track from the band’s eagerly anticipated forthcoming album which will be released via Napalm Records on October 28th.  

‘Solas’ is the first official single from the new album and has already gone straight on to the Planet Rock A-List. It follows the previously released track ‘Beautiful World’, which is bathed in a dark, cinematic eeriness and was co-written with former Massive Attack producer / composer, Neil Davidge.</sub>

_{This week it’s the 300th upload of the Friday NI Rocks Show – just over 6 years since the first one on 27th August 2010. I posted a review of what tracks we’d been playing over the last 6 years a few weeks ago - http://www.rockradioni.co.uk/news/rrni-updates/2793-friday-ni-rocks-show-review-of-the-first-six-years.html}

_{The show this week sticks to the usual format – new releases, local bands and classic rock!!}
