The Faces

Rhythm Of My Heart: The Authorized Biography Of Marc Jordan documents the remarkable career of Marc Jordan, the songwriter whose music has been recorded by Rod Stewart, Cher, Diana Ross and dozens more global stars.

Howard Jones will return to the United States in April, joining Rod Stewart for select arena shows while also performing his own headline concerts, as his newly released Live At The Marquee revisits the moment Howard Jones first ignited the 1980s synth-pop era.

Japanese bassist Tetsu Yamauchi, born Yamauchi Tetsuo in Fukuoka in 1946, has died at 79. His death brings to a close a career that bridged Japanese rock, British blues rock, and the global touring circuit.

Take a step back to the late 1960s, when London was buzzing, Carnaby Street was swinging, and five young musicians were about to create one of the greatest British rock bands of their generation. Rod Stewart, Ronnie Wood, Kenney Jones, Ronnie Lane and Ian McLagan had just come together as Faces and now, for the very first time, fans will be able to hear their earliest recordings.

For Jon Stevens’ new album Shimmer, he turned to members of the Rod Stewart band — producer and songwriter Kevin Savigar and guitarist Emerson Swinford — to help craft a record that is as much about live energy as studio polish.

August 30 has long been a milestone date in music history, bringing with it landmark releases and unforgettable moments. Bob Dylan’s Highway 61 Revisited arrived on this day, reshaping rock songwriting with “Like a Rolling Stone,” while Van Morrison, Rod Stewart, and Judas Priest also released career-defining albums. The first Isle of Wight Festival in 1968 cemented itself as a cornerstone of British rock culture, and decades later Kanye West’s Late Registration and Lana Del Rey’s Norman Fucking Rockwell! set new creative benchmarks. From classic rock to modern icons, August 30 showcases music’s constant evolution across generations.

When Rod Stewart released Atlantic Crossing in August 1975, it marked one of the most dramatic pivots in his career. Not only was it his sixth studio album, but it was also his first recorded entirely in the United States, following his move from London to Los Angeles. The title itself is a cheeky nod to that relocation, signalling that Stewart was ready to embrace a more polished, Americanised sound — and perhaps, a broader commercial reach.
