It’s A Revolution it goes round and round like a record – Episode 39

It’s A Revolution it goes round and round like a record – Episode 39

The sun is out the sky is blue and the tunes keep spinning in the pumphouse. Today kicks off with a slice of 70s Derry and those snorkel parkered, Doc Martin wearing oiks The Undertones announce that ‘Here Comes The Summer’ their 4th single off that classic debut record.

We’ve championed The Hip Priests for well over a decade and it is drawing towards an apocalyptic ending with just one more 10″ record to go and they’re outta here so it seems fitting that we play not one but two off this kiss-off record – boy its good but you already knew that right? Right you’re last chance to see them is at these links – Tix here! London: https://www.ourblackheart.com/…/the-hip-priests-final…
Nottingham: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/…/the-hip-priests-final…

New bands are coming through and South Wales is showing signs of leading the way. Baby Schillachi are at the sharp end and they have a brand new song out for the summer ‘tHe AnTi suNcrEAM’ Check this bad boy out or we’re sending Hotshot round to torture you.

The Mission give your ears a ‘Serpents Kiss’ and take you back to a time when they ruled the world and seeing as I’m off to see them this year I thought I give this classic a spin. RumBar Records do a sterling job dishing out ear candy on their epic label outta Boston. The Downhauls are the first of several on this week’s show. Get an earful of this belter.

Chris wedged the classic ‘Hoover Dam’ from Sugar into this week’s show and it’s a timeless classic that’s most welcome anytime.

We’ve championed the work of Jesse Malin over and over and brought you updates on his health issues and we are delighted to see he’s returning to the stage later this year for a special show in NYC. After the recent release of the live album, there is a triple album heading for release in the near future where some huge artists cover Jesse’s music from D Generation to his solo work and Bruce Springsteen to Tommy Stinson. Lucinda Williams to Billie Joe Armstrong and Rancid all play their part so we’re delighted to play ‘Black Haired Girl’ from Glitter In The Gutter as performed superbly by Billie Joe. Pre Order that album Here

Another Rum Bar coming in hot is the album from Joe Jennings MVPs and from this single ‘Doin Time On The Company Dime’ it promises to be a belter of a record and we can’t wait to play more. such a talent it’s great to see Joe team up with Rum Bar – cheers!

With his brand new video out this week Rich Ragany continues to evolve his music and the people he plays with from the core of Good Guys he has surrounded himself with he continues to turn out great music whatever the style. ‘Sierra Bonita’ is the latest laid-back offering from Rags. Head over Here for his latest music and first Solo album ‘You Can Get Dark With Me’.

Another cover for this episode is ‘Safe From Harm’ where Mike Peters teamed up with Skindreds Benji Webb for an impressive cover of the Massive Attack track. The Cretins deliver ‘Mr Popularity’ in a sprightly Ramones-influenced rocker.

Scandinavia has always delivered great Rock music and this episode we are happy to bang out something from the Hellacopters and The Flaming Sideburns back to back both bands having something of a renaissance in recent years and delivering fantastic comeback albums.

Repeat Records are causing a bit of a stir at the moment with some recent compilation albums that have the cream of the crop delivering excellent alternative music and we’re happy to play our part with ‘Supercharger’ from The Saffs. The Yum Yums are up next with a slice of summer power pop ‘Poppin Up Again’. The final Rum Bar offering is Duck and Cover with ‘Help Myself’ before we finish with an absolute banger off that new Hip Priests EP ‘Home Is Where The HAte Is’ with their finger on the pulse and the UK heading to hell on a hand cart it seems wholly appropriate for this to close out the show this week. Help us out by liking and sharing on social media and keep tuning in. Diolch people

 HRH ROAD TRIP XI – IBIZA 2020

 HRH ROAD TRIP XI – IBIZA 2020

HARD ROCK HELL announce HRH ROAD TRIP XI – IBIZA 2020, which is being held on 6th to 13th May 2020. The line up includes: SKINDRED, TED POLEY (Danger Danger), REEF, JOE LYNN TURNER, JOHN COGHLAN’S QUO, LA GUNS, JIZZY PEARL’SLOVE/HATE, TEN YEARS AFTER, WAYWARD SONS, SEETHING AKIRA, MASSIVE, MIDNITE CITY, and more to be announed!

 

Bands – Bikes – Beers – Boats – Brotherhood: The 5 cornerstones of HRH Road Trips– the ultimate rock’n’roll holiday.

Held annually on the world-famous holiday island of Ibiza, the HRH RoadTrip has grown from its humble beginnings 10 years ago to become one of rock and metals most celebrated events.

The event attracts world famous rock and metal artists – such as Hawkwind, Whitesnake’s Bernie Marsden, Motorhead’s Phil Campbell, Reef, Rainbow’s Joe Lynn Turner, Skindred, Girlschool, LA Guns and The Quireboys – to play and soak up the sun and unique atmosphere of the Spanish leg of Hard Rock Hell.

Over 4000 rock fans attended this year’s event making it the biggest yet – and next year is shaping up to be even bigger and better.

 

Doesn’t matter if it’s lazing by the pool with banging tunes in the background, making shapes on the most famous dancefloors in the world such as Eden or taking in the spectacular sunsets on the beach … there’s something for everyone.

HRH Magazine’s Adam Kennedy had this to say about this year’s event “With the unpredictable nature of British summertime weather, a five-day hard rock festival located on the Balearic Island of Ibiza doesn’t seem like such a bad idea. You can leave those wellies at home, put your tent away, and comfortably enjoy the diverse bill of entertainment on display without worrying about having to dredge through muddy fields or being washed away by the rain.

As the White Isle awakens from its annual winter hibernation, flocks of revellers will arrive at the party capital of the world as HRH takes over San Antonio’s hotels, bars, and legendary night spots. The event itself once again offers a comprehensive bill of both established and emerging talent whilst encompassing acts that represent many of HRH festival’s different brands. There will also be the chance to take part in Ibiza traditions such as the customary HRH bike ride, pool and boat parties, or take the opportunity to experience the island’s world-famous sunsets with an early evening boat trip.

When Axl Rose penned the lyrics to “Paradise City”, he could well have been thinking about a location not too dissimilar to San Antonio. At the heart of Ibiza’s Rock n Roll paradise is one of the island’s most beloved super clubs “Eden”. Every year HRH Road Trip will take-over the famed night club and its many different rooms for the duration of the event. Nestled away between San Antonio Bay and the world-famous nightlife of San Antonio town, the 5,000 capacity club is the perfect spot to host an event such as HRH RTX.

Described by one festival punter as being like ‘Download with a pool’ HRH RTX entails several music filled days and plenty of sun, sea and San Miguel plus of course a healthy mix of rock, blues, metal, stoner and prog that will keep the party going until the wee hours during four music-filled club nights.”

HRH Road Trip XI is being held on 6th to 13th May 2020.  For all the details and packages visit www.hrhroadtrip.com or call 044+ 207 193 1164.
