Join us for the latest podcast where we bring new music from Time Thieves from Chicago who released their new single ‘Remember I Forgot’. This Chicago four-piece kicks off the show in style much to Chris’ delight.
Kurt Baker‘s excellent songwriting skills are up next as we play his latest Wicked Cool Records single ‘Warm In The Winter’. This guy is a machine when it comes to writing power pop / new wave songs he churns them out and always to the highest standard.
Always happy to air some Kurt Baker and on these cold days he offers a ray of sunshine that’s for sure.
Vocalist Eddie Garrity releases a four-track EP Entitled Eddie Garritys Slaughter and this is their debut EP which is hard to believe. ‘Hot Raw Metal & Gasoline’ contains four banging rockers and we decided to play ‘Dandy Rocker’ in this week’s Podcast. The CD-only release is available
from website and at gigs (where tracks will be performed as part of the ‘Bite Back’ shows.)
Bomber Music recently released a three track EP from Riskee And The Ridicule that feature two tracks from their Debut album as well as the ‘Young And Beautiful’ cover. ‘Backwards’ gets the thumbs up but we could have played ‘Blue Jacket’ or the Del Ray cover, a band who always impress when we hear them or see them live.
Another UK band that never disappoints is Wonk Unit who recently released their latest album which is their most adventurous and sprawling record to date. Chris went for ‘Luxury Flats’ which just happens to be a bit of a rager. The Album ‘Good Good Glad To Hear It’ is the band’s most diverse and rewarding album to date. The band have really pushed the boundaries and its paid dividends.
Frank Black reissued his sophomore album ‘Teenager Of The Year’ this week on double Gold Vinyl so what better time than now to play ‘Bad Wicked World’ off that album ahead of his London Palladium show.
The Diamond Dogs are back with an album called ‘Macon Georgia Giant’ on Wild Kingdom Records recorded with Chris Spedding. A tip of the hat to the king of rock n roll Little Richard. So why not play ‘King Of Rock n Roll’.
Also released this week is Iggy pop live at Montreux Jazz Festival. Bursting with exciting twists on Iggy classics old and new we chose ‘Modern Day Rip Off’ to promote the horn section of this extraordinary show.
Weep Wave up next with ‘Conscious Dust’ off their Speck album from the trio outta Seattle.
Let me introduce a trio from one artist that we might follow every week starting out with Michael Leslie Peters of The Alarm who enters The Christie Hospital in Manchester this week for groundbreaking treatment in his 30-year fight with Cancer. CAR-T therapy might just offer Mike the fighting chance he deserves after staying positive and one step ahead for three decades. We send him all the PMA in the world from everybody at RPM Online and urge you to click the link to Love Hope And Strength and get on the list. It doesn’t cost you anything but could help someone with the gift of life, imagine that? these three songs go back some thirty years when Mike was freshly diagnosed with Cancer so first up is ‘Psychological Combat Zone/ The Message’ in his poets days just out of the shadow of leaving the Alarm.
Next, we bring ‘Ground Zero’ from the furtive and really impressive ‘Rise’ period before we end with his first direct call to arms in his fight against Cancer ‘Regeneration’ Cancer certainly didn’t see MLP coming and we wish him and his family all the Love Hope and Strength at this time.
The Protos from Amsterdam are up next with their brand of Garage Punk Power Pop on NFT Records ‘Drain My Brain’ indeed.
The Roxies have ‘Animal’ from their ‘Keep You Up At Night’ album offering the world some of Berlin’s finest power pop.
Heading over to LA for the excellent Teenage Frames and the B Side to their latest single ‘Factory Man. America’s Greatest Rock & Roll Re-Creators churn out wonderful slabs of Punk Rock n Roll with awesome melodies and you should check em out if you’ve never heard them before.
As we head into the home straight how about a new one from Michael Monroe Guitarist and Black Halos original Rich Jones who released ‘Old Offenders’ this week past so get involved give him the encouragement to release that solo record you know it makes sense. Like Chris said he’s never involved in a project that isn’t excellent and well worth buying.
The penultimate track this week is from Nasty Rumours who are heading out across Europe with The awesome Cyanide Pills and they’ve released a split single with two songs each now While we are waiting fo their contribution to this EP we will play it for you along with the Cyanide Pills tracks so until then you’ll have to make do with ‘You Got My Number’ from the album they released in 2022. this Bern outfit as so cool and worth checking out.
