LIVE music returned to a Reading record store on Sunday, as a band celebrated the release of their new album.

Anthemic rock ‘n’ rollers Black Star Riders released Wrong Side of Paradise last month, featuring 11 tracks recorded in Calirfornia and Oregon.

To celebrate, lead vocalist Ricky Warwick appeared at HMV in The Oracle to sing an acoustic set, sign albums and meet fans.

It is part of a UK tour, and later the same day he made an appearance at Truck in Oxford.

He said: “As with all BSR albums, Wrong Side Of Paradise is an anthemic statement of intent, driven by ferocious guitars and thundering drums.

“I can only write about my own personal experiences, my families, my friends and how I see a world that is unraveling and changing faster than we can comprehend.

“That being said, I’m a firm believer in the power of positivity, something that echoes throughout this album.”
