I've been doing this long enough to say that it's kind of a big deal to hear a song that stops you dead in your tracks. A song so urgent, fresh and timely that you remember where you were and what you were doing when you first heard it. Well, Reckoning by the Havana-by-way-of-Nashville based Sweet Lizzy Project is such a song. In this episode, SLP singer/songwriter Lisset Diaz makes her annual appearance to discuss how this powerhouse of a song came together—and so much more. Reckoning is a blistering take on Lisset's native Cuba; it is a raw, honest song that takes no prisoners. Musically it hits hard—loud, crunching guitars barely hold Lisset's soaring vocals. Lyrically it hits even harder; it is a direct hit against the existing Cuban regime and all those who think they know what truly ills the country. This is also my first interview with Lisset since the passing of legendary Mavericks' frontman Raul Malo, who discovered the band in Havana nearly 10 years ago and brought them to the States. This episode is as emotional, honest and direct as any I've ever done…perhaps more so than any other. So strap yourself in and hold on as Lisset Diaz joins me again.
Denver, Colorado punk collective Dead Pioneers return with their fierce third studio album, Wagon Burner. Set for release on 26 June 2026 via Hassle Records, the project builds upon the momentum of their 2023 self-titled debut and 2025's acclaimed PO$T AMERICAN. Fronted by Indigenous visual performance artist and activist Gregg Deal, Dead Pioneers' continue to blend the raw fury of hardcore punk with biting spoken-word commentary, channelling the contemporary Indigenous experience, historical trauma, and political resistance.While their previous work relied heavily on targeted individual statements, Wagon Burner represents a more unified, collaborative writing effort by the full band. Musically, it is their heaviest and hardest record to date, yet it remains intensely accessible, striking a delicate balance between abrasive noise-punk melee and viciously catchy hooks.HEAVY caught up with Deal to find out more, asking him how he is feeling about the album close to release date."Honestly, there's a lot of emotions," he measured. "I kind of go through peaks and valleys. I'm excited about it, and then I'm not sure. We do these releases, and sometimes they do really well. And sometimes they're not doing as well as I'd like, and so it gets in my head. I'm excited about it, but it's been a bit of a mind F."Spoken word and narrative pieces play a major role in the feel and message of the album, with Deal agreeing that there was much thought put into getting even the smallest of details correct."Yeah, I think so," he nodded. "We actually recorded so much that we have enough for another half a record. We have enough for like an EP, and so we're trying to pick and choose. We want a narrative and a sound that can live in that space. We came into this record trying to be as articulate as possible, but also not pulling any punches from everything that has been happening, everything that is happening in the United States.And so it is meant to be political, social and cultural. We're trying to find a medium in there with that, because it's a lot of heavy stuff. So the humour that has existed in other places is a little bit more subtle on this one, but it's still there. We definitely are trying to curate something that makes sense audibly and in the information that exists lyrically."In the full interview, Gregg talks more about the musical side of Wagon Burner and how it differs to Dead Pioneers' first two albums. We run through the themes that permeate through the album and their connection to Gregg personally.The constant battle against oppression in all forms is discussed, along with the impact bands such as Dead Pioneers have on the global landscape through their music. Gregg ran us through some of the spoken word pieces and elaborated on their meaning, diving deeper into the guest artists and why they were chosen.Gregg also detailed the genesis of the band and how it has evolved over the years, plus more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.
This episode of Across The Margin : The Podcast features an interview with Bill Morrison who has been called the poet laureate of lost films (New York Times, 9/21/2021), as he often makes films that re-frame long-forgotten moving images. He has premiered feature-length documentary films at the New York, Sundance, Telluride and Venice film festivals. In 2021 Morrison became a member of the documentary branch of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences. His found footage opus Decasia (2002) was the first film of the 21st century to be named to the Library of Congress' National Film Registry. Dawson City: Frozen Time (2016) was included on over 100 critics' lists of the best films of the year and was later listed as one of the best films of its decade by the Associated Press, Los Angeles Times, and Vanity Fair, among others. His most recent film, Incident (2023) won the Best Short Film Award from International Documentary Association in 2023, the Cinema Eye Honors for Outstanding Nonfiction Short, and was nominated for an Academy Award in Documentary Short in 2025. His film, The Great Flood (2013) — the focus of this episode — was recognized with the Smithsonian Ingenuity Award for historical scholarship.The Mississippi River Flood of 1927 was the most destructive river flood in American history. In the spring of 1927, the river broke out of its banks in 145 places and inundated 27,000 square miles to a depth of up to 30 feet. Part of its enduring legacy was the mass exodus of displaced sharecroppers. Musically, the “Great Migration” of rural southern blacks to Northern cities saw the Delta Blues electrified and reinterpreted as the Chicago Blues, Rhythm and Blues, and Rock and Roll. Using minimal text and no spoken dialog, filmmaker Bill Morrison and composer / guitarist Bill Frisell have created with The Great Flood a powerful portrait of a seminal moment in American history through a collection of silent images matched to a searing original soundtrack.

"The field recording spoke to me of slow, gentle and happy co-existence, across cultures, across generations and between people and nature. Musically the track is built around a short rhythmic motif extracted from the original source; this set the pace, the root tone and the overall feel of the piece."Rabat soundwalk reimagined by Thom Cuschieri.
The vocalist is the face and voice of a musical group. The Wonderful World of Heavy Metal have a gazilion frontpersons that are both super talented and are quite the characters.

INGESTED UK technical death metal juggernauts - Denigration full-length, released on May 8th through Metal Blade Records.INGESTED Presents “Oaths Betrayed” Lyric Video; Denigration Full-Length Out Today On Metal Blade Records + Chaos & Carnage Tour Underway!The band comments, “‘Oaths Betrayed' takes the language of faith, war, and destiny and turns it against the systems that abuse those ideas. The lyrics are about promises written in blood and enforced with steel; oaths that were supposed to protect but ended up binding people to suffering. It's a world where idols are pissed on, scriptures are burned, and yet people still march ‘through ruins to claim what's mine' because truth is the only thing left worth carrying. It's the sound of realizing that the divine has abandoned you, and deciding you'll carve your own laws into bone. “This song almost didn't make the cut, and now it's one of the tracks we reach for first. Musically, it hits that high-tempo, groove-driven, 2010s-era death metal energy, spiked with breakdowns that feel like the floor cracking open. It's urgent, almost martial at times, with riffs that march more than they sprint. Lyn's lyrical contribution here adds a different edge, more confrontational, more fixated on personal agency in the middle of collapse. ‘Oaths Betrayed' feels like a rallying cry in the second half of the record.”Denigration includes guest appearances by John Gallagher of Dying Fetus on “Watch You Fold,” Damonteal Harris of PeelingFlesh on “Merciless Reflection,” Skyler Conder of Cell on “Dragged Apart,” and Kyle Medina of Bodysnatcher on “Dredge The Dark,” further amplifying the record's scope and intensityProduced by Nico Beninato at The Arch Studios in Southport, UK, Denigration captures INGESTED at their sharpest and most forward-thinking.

In our "News, Views and Tunes", we discuss Maiden in the HOF and the Morotti/Suffocation sitch. Musically, we crank Blitzkreig, Satan, Thunderstick, Tailgunner, Witchburner, Atomic Aggressor, Helvetets Port, Brainwash Victims and we introduce Italy's Alcatrax in our "Indie Spotlight".

This episode is basically what happens when two people start talking and forget the cameras are rolling
Guest Review - Michael Storm appeared on Political Cadence with Maxx Payne"I had a great time visiting with Phil and Lisa. The casual but organized conversation was open and honest and fair and important. So many conversations are lopsided or just not worth participating in and it's refreshing to just talk and share thoughts and be in the moment while meeting some new and interesting people."August 1980Steve Howe -Lead GuitarTrevor Horn - Lead VocalsGeoff Downs - KeyboardsChris Squire - “Base guitar”10th Studio albumReached no. 2 on UK chartsNo Jon Anderson, no Rick WakemanTrevor Horn - from The Buggles (Video Killed the Radio Star) on vocals. Trevor Horn replaced Wakeman.Jon Anderson is not on this album - Jon tended to bring his family and nanny on tour to great expense, and this grated on the band.The album was more of a new wave transition from albums like songs from topographic oceans, but it is also heavier than other Yes albums.Yes might have been the greatest example of a classic rock band trying to survives the new wave.Roger Dean designed the album cover, who was responsible for most of Yes' covers.Machine Messiah - opening reminds me of Sabotage, then goes into “Big Bottom” riff - Ascends to a very light keyboard track as Jon Anderson's voice surfaces. - 3:19 Lyrical Passage is great "Friends make their way into systems of chance (echo "friends make their way of escape into systems of chance") - Escape to freedom I need to be there - Waiting and watching the tables are turning" - The whole passage is lyrically perfect, with the echoes and call backs - - Pink Floyd sound at 5:24 mark (Tear Down the Wall”) Orchestral composition - very serene chant towards end “Machine Messiah take me into the fire” - Ends as it begins. I assumed it was John Anderson when I listened for the first time.Man in a White Car - Very brief interlude- Chimes at beginning - “Man in a White Car” are the only lyrics. It is supposed to be a call to Gary Neuman's “Cars”.Does it Really Happen - Funky rhythm at the beginning, good drumming (Jungle Boogey) - Reminds me in parts of a song called "It Can Happen" from 90125 - “Live for Pleasure, Live for fun”. - Around 5:15 it becomes a completely different instrumental, almost with a disco beat. - long fade out, which I am not a huge fan of. - Chris Squire's vocals were strong on this. Why didn't he sing more on Yes albums?Into The Lens - “I am a camera” - “Camera Camera” - Like the guitar at about the 4:00 mark. - Too much keyboard for me. - "Memories How they Fade so fast" was such a wilting, strange lyrical beginning - But “I am a camera” was a pretty lame lyric. “Camera, camera”. Musically, it had strong moments, but I found it's transitions kind of disorienting. But “Monitor” by Siouxsie and the Banshees did this better.Run Through The Light - Could not help but think of The Police and Sting during the “Run Into The Light” part - Some guitar shredding during the last minute of the song, garnished by keyboard.Tempus Fugit - Literally means ‘Time Flies' - Might have inspired Tommy Shaw/Styxx - The harmonies and rapidity of the lyrics are off the hook. “The Way That You answer with ‘Yes'! - It might just be the “Yes” song, almost reminds me of a super hero for some reason, with love as the protagonist. - I love the fast crawling of the baseline. It us a great song.Yeah Uh Huh Social Stuff:Yeah Uh Huh on Linktr.eehttps://linktr.ee/yeahuhhuhpodYeah Uh Huh on TikTok / yeahuhhuhpod Yeah Uh Huh on Facebook / yeahuhhuhpod Yeah Uh Huh on Twitter / yeahuhhuhpod Yeah Uh Huh on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/7pS9l71...Yeah Uh Huh on Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Yeah Uh Huh Website:https://yeah-uh-huh.wixsite.com/yeahu...Yeah Uh Huh WebsiteHome | YeahUhHuhPod (yeah-uh-huh.wixsite.com)Yeah-Uh-Huh on YoutubeYeah Uh-Huh -YouTubeYeah Uh Huh on Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...

Episode 24 of On The Record with Brian Wise and Michael Mackenzie opens not in a record shop or a green room, but in the unglamorous reality of domestic collapse: Brian's gas hot water service fails, leaving him hunting for a plumber and waiting five days for resolution. Musically, the emotional high point is a warm, informed appreciation of David Byrne. The hosts tip their hats to Byrne's wider career, including his work with Brian Eno, particularly ** My Life in the Bush of Ghosts **, and note his recent appearance at Jazz Fest.

Most players hit a wall the same way, cycling through the same licks, searching for something new, and ending up lost in endless videos.Here's a better way.In this video, we break out of that loop by using a simple, lifelong skill:take a song you love, learn the melody, and learn how to harmonize it.No tabs. No shortcuts. No spoon-feeding.This is how you build real musical independence, and actually start growing every time you pick up the guitar.Support the show
Interview by Kris PetersGargoyle of the Garden State, the highly anticipated debut solo album from Skid Row co-founder and bassist Rachel Bolan, releases on 12 June 2026 via earMUSIC. Stepping into the spotlight under the moniker BOLAN, this record marks a monumental milestone in the musician's four-decade career. Driven by a desire to craft something entirely his own, Bolan handles the vast majority of the recording duties himself, taking over lead vocals, bass, and most of the guitar tracks.Rooted deeply in the grit, attitude, and storytelling traditions of his New Jersey upbringing, the album is a high-octane sonic journey. Musically, it breaks away from standard hair metal conventions, leaning instead into a raw, hook-driven fusion of punk rock energy and melodic sensibilities. Bolan weaves a lifetime of diverse influences into the tracklist, drawing inspiration from Britpop, glam, new wave, and 1980s John Hughes cinema, even incorporating a sitar on the distinctly pop-punk track Memory.Though it is a solo venture, Bolan shares the experience with an impressive, star-studded lineup of close friends and peers. Listeners can expect guest appearances from legendary artists like Corey Taylor (Slipknot), Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme), Steve Conte, and Damon Johnson. Furthermore, Bolan's Skid Row family - including Scotti Hill, Dave "Snake" Sabo, and drummer Rob Hammersmith - lend their talents to various tracks. Ultimately, Gargoyle of the Garden State serves as an uncompromising, honest reflection of Bolan's true musical identity, balancing serious, reflective songwriting with an undeniable, upbeat rock-and-roll party atmosphere.HEAVY sat down with Bolan to find out more, asking him to describe what he was going for musically with the album."I was just going for a raw feel," he explained. "This record sums up me and what's going on in my head, you know, and it was fun to play guitar. I played all the rhythms and the bass, did most of the singing and then had a whole bunch of friends come in and contribute, which meant the world to me."We ask why now, after more than 40 years in music, is the right time to make a solo album."You know, I didn't find the time. The time kind of found me," he smiled. "We had downtime with Skid Row while we were searching for a vocalist and I had a bunch of songs. I kept writing through the whole process and it was more it's not now or never, but now would be a good time (laughs)."In the full interview, Rachel speaks more about Gargoyle of the Garden State and the songs on it, reflecting on the two singles released to date and if they are a good sonic representation of the album as a whole. We talked about lead track Anything But You and why it was chosen as first introduction to his solo work, plus the influence New Jersey and its way of life had on the album.We talked more about the guest artists and why they were chosen, having his Skid Row bandmates on there and why, the title and where it comes from, playing these songs live and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Believe it or not, the classic Judas Priest album "Turbo" recently celebrated its 40th Bday! This is an interesting album in the whole JP discography. Fans were split as the band experimented with more modern sounds and images in an effort to look more "80s". So its a great time to feature "Turbo" in our "40th Anniversay Album Spotlight Series". We do a track by track deep dive. And share how we discovered the record, the controversial 80s overhaul and if JP could truly be considered NWOBHM. Luv it or hate it, you no doubt have a strong opinion of it. Musically, we crank some D.R.I., Pig Destroyer, Vreid, Temple of Void, Sinner, Savage, Turbo (the Polish band) and we feature British bangers Olympus in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up!!
Umay Acar-Sümer |Writer and Composer of ‘Beowulf the MusicalBio:Umay Acar-Sümer is a Turkish singer and composer based in Hampshire, UK. Having completed an MA in Medieval Studies and MMus in Music Composition at Royal Holloway, Umay draws inspiration from medieval literature and history in her writing. She is the writer and composer of ‘Beowulf the Musical', a two-act musical made up of 35 song based on the medieval epic poem Beowulf. ‘Beowulf the Musical' premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2024 with Umay playing the role of Freawaru; the musical is now set to release an album with many of the original cast and orchestra members reprising their roles. Umay's writing influences include late medieval authors like Geoffrey Chaucer, Sir Thomas Malory and Chrétien de Troyes as well as anonymous poems from the Anglo-Saxon period such as The Wanderer, The Battle of Maldon and The Seafarer. Musically she is inspired by contemporary composers such as Alan Menken, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Lin Manuel Miranda and Anais Mitchell as well as the works of Handel, Verdi, Mozart and Strauss.

Inside this episode with your host, Mitch HamptonMark Winters has had thus far a remarkable run of careers by any estimation. After spending the first part of his life ensconced in the worlds of NASA, aerospace and the sciences he made the dramatic decision in his thirties to become a singer songwriter, one of whose signature songs is explicitly about “what it means to be human”, like the tagline for our podcast. I found Winters a most engaging conversationalist, bringing the good vibes he cherishes to the discussion in as plentiful supply as can be heard in his music.Mr. Winters BioTexas-based rock singer-songwriter Mark Winters is many things; a witty poet, passionate musician, entrepreneur, optimist, family man, and a bonafide rocket scientist. He first picked up a guitar to play a song for his wife on their anniversary. That's when he discovered the joy of connecting with people through music. Mark combines music, poetry, a science background, and love for his community to form his signature sound, “rock with a positive vibe.”His musical roots are in rock, blues rock, and pop, and John Mayer, Tom Petty, and Jason Mraz are significant influences. “My music starts from a place of poetry and creative inspiration, and I use my ‘rocket-scientist brain' to find structures that help me explore that initial burst of inspiration and feeling – like writing haikus, my favorite! My grandmother taught me to express myself through poetry and I'm thankful to her for setting me on this creative and expressive path.”Mark has a degree in Aerospace, Aeronautical, and Astronautical Engineering, and his math and science background guides his musical explorations. He likes taking complex things such as emotions and expressing them in a way that's easy to understand. Balancing his right-brained creativity with his analytical left-brain is part of a life-long journey; music is one more place where he can explore this balance.Since his debut album “Slipstream” in 2019 he's garnered numerous positive reviews, has been placed on hundreds of playlists, and racked up over a million streams worldwide. He's poised to continue this success with his sophomore album, “Boundary Layer.” Boundary Layer showcases the intersection of Mark's scientific mind and his passion for positivity and good works. This album is a tribute to those who have helped Mark break out of life's “normal” boundaries and pursue the person he was meant to be. His goal with this new record is to inspire others to break through barriers in their lives and to use emotional connections and energy to move in the direction they were meant to go. Scientifically, a boundary layer is the place on an object in a moving fluid where things can either start moving or stand still.He and his beloved wife have always had compassion for people in the world and believe it's important to give back to your community. Mark enjoys mentoring entrepreneurs like himself, and donates a lot of his time to philanthropic organizations throughout the Houston area.Each song on his first album is an emotional story about his life's journey's. Slipstream is the stream of air behind any moving object, usually in the context of making the effort of moving behind someone easier for everyone, like birds flying in a v-formation flock. This is the feeling Mark experienced while working with the incredible musicians and producers who helped create the album. “Musically, the songs on SlipStream run the gamut from straight guitar-based classic rock to bluesier jams, pop metal, Beach Boys-type ballads, and psychedelia. There's even a mini-rap in one number.” - The Houston Press#rock #johnmayer #tompetty #guitar #song #blues #rock #folk #lifelonglearning #psychology #math #science #nasa #aerospace #transportation #california #texas #love #romance #marriage #technology #humanity #vocal #acoustic #piano #caroleking #jonimitchell #tinydesk #itsnevertoolate #algebra #computer #internet #socialmedia #algorithm

Ep. 182: 30 years of running an indie record label is a monumental milestone. We speak to Chris Goss about exactly that – three decades after he co-founded the highly influential jungle / drum and bass label Hospital Records. Chris has lots to say about the "blood, sweat, and tears" required to stay independent for three decades; modern A&R and how Hospital balances a classic "gut feeling" with data; why drum n bass is currently enjoying its most prolonged "hot streak" in history; and the future of the label.Founded in West London in 1996 by Chris Goss and Tony Colman, Hospital didn't start with an aggressive business plan. Today, Hospital stands as - possibly - the largest independent drum n bass label in the world.

Mark Fine returns from Singapore and Stephen J Peak is a no show! Shock! Horror! Gasp! The gossip columnists would dine out on this development, but nothing to see here. No IVO's here, the only orders Mr. Peak is interested in come from Uber Eats. In this episode Anzac Day and the Anzac Appeal round get a robust 360 review. As does the AFL's ARC, Scott Pendlebury and Billy Field. That would be the first time that pair have ever been in the same sentence. Musically, as we use the term loosely, we head to 1992 and dive head first into the ARIA Top 40 for the year, which has Billy Ray Cyrus perched at number 1. Nuff said.

Ya like jazz? Marcus's third Mobile Suit Gundam entry continues the gang's discussion on the Universal Century and the One Year War, with a grittier, more self-contained narrative than what we discussed in our episode on Unicorn. Musically unique and visually stunning, Thunderbolt gets our praise primarily because it feels less focused on the minutia of Mobile Suit Gundam and more focused on being a war movie: it hits a lot harder this time around thanks to its adult main characters, more terrifying and dramatic combat, and more mature war-centric themes like drug abuse or child soldiers. It's not a winner for everyone—Iris might have thrown in the towel on Gundam as a whole this episode—but the gang has a lot of praise for this short, two-sided ballad where nobody wins in the end. Content warning: SPOILERS, strong language.

Join Here: https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K Analytic Dreamz breaks down Kehlani's fifth studio album, the self-titled project released on April 24, 2026. This 17-track R&B blockbuster follows the 2024 album Crash and marks a major career moment for the artist. The lead single “Folded” reached number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100, delivering Kehlani's first Top 10 hit along with two Grammy wins for Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song.The album features an all-star lineup including Cardi B, Usher, Brandy, Clipse, Lil Wayne, Big Sean, Leon Thomas, Lil Jon, T-Pain, and Missy Elliott.

Only about five tracks remain fully solo, highlighting a deliberate strategy of heavy features to explore diverse R&B sub-genres.Musically, the project fuses '90s and 2000s R&B influences with modern production, including Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis-style elements on “I Need You,” rock-infused ballads like “Oooh,” and a gospel-influenced closer “Unlearn.” Themes center on romantic relationships, personal growth at age 30, motherhood, and emotional clarity, delivered through accessible, sing-along narratives designed for broad relatability.Analytic Dreamz examines the marketing rollout, including Spotify partnership, a trailer reveal, and low-cost “Club Kehlani” listening events priced at $4.24 across New York and Los Angeles.

For this edition of Sessions, we're taking one of the most honest conversations we've ever had on the Radulich in Broadcasting Network and turning it into something heavier, louder, and harder to ignore.Coming out of our discussion on The Boys Season 3, what started as a breakdown of superheroes and spectacle quickly became something else entirely—a raw examination of masculinity, responsibility, and the quiet rules men are expected to live by. Not the version you see on social media. The real one. The one that says: get up, go to work, handle your business, no matter how you feel.“That's What Men Do” isn't a parody. It's not a gimmick. It's a direct translation of that moment—of frustration, of conviction, of lived experience—into a blue-collar Southern rock/metal anthem. Built from the language we actually used on that show, this track leans into repetition, pressure, and identity, capturing the idea that strength is expected, but rarely explained.Musically, we're sitting somewhere between the dusty, grounded storytelling of Cracker and the aggressive, groove-heavy punch of Hellyeah—keeping one foot in alt-country grit and the other in controlled chaos.This is Sessions: where conversation becomes composition.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

There's this old adage of "Opinions are like aholes. Everyone has one and they all stink". So in that spirit, we thought we'd share some of ours this week. As teens, the British tome, Metal Forces, was a fave. Every year the magazine presented their "Reader's Poll" results. And we recently stumbled on the results from '83 in Issue 3. So we figured we'd give them the once over and cast our own ballots. Forty three years late. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we pay tribute to Ross The Boss. Musically, we crank some Henry Rollins, Trauma, Fulci, Witchslayer, Original Sin, Stormkeep and introduce Austria's Rambow in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up!
While Finey explores the culinary delights of Singapore, it's an old school three ring circus and there is no shortage of clowns, that's for sure. There are no safety nets used here. Roll on up under the Big Top (one of Stephen's recently laundered golf polos). Ken performs stunts, both cunning and not so. For Kev, it's the Tightrope and other Leon Russell songs. The grand finale is Stephen 'Danger is my middle name' Peak * and his amazing death defying fire eating and sword swallowing act. That is something to behold -especially as he washes it down with a seven course banquet from Fongs of Brighton - and in the show stopping finale finale with the wave of a sauce smeared chopstick, SJ peak becomes the elephant in the room. Ta Da! And to think the tattooed man missed all this. Musically, it is the purity of rediscovering a 4IP Top 40 chart from February 1968. No bells or whistles required.

David and Brian are a duo. In this episode the duo was on form and we love each other. I promise. We talked about music!
To call Dublin post punk five-piece band Gurriers "outspoken" could refer to a few things. They are unapologetic in their lyrics, hitting home on themes ranging from hypocricy to nihilism, extreme rhetoric, online abuse and desensitisation. Musically, they make you sit up and listen. Their live shows are electrifying, loud and alive. And they practice what they preach, having led the entire contingent of Irish artists at SXSW to pull out of the festival in protest of its sponsorship by the US army amidst its funding of genocide in Palestine and the Middle East in 2024.I caught up with bassist Charlie McCarthy and Pierce O'Callaghan, bassist and drummer in the Gurriers to talk all about their debut album ‘Come and See' (2024), and other things like rafter athletics, empathetic punk rock, SXSW and the surprising role Deftones and cat pictures played in the Gurriers origin story.It was a pleasure chatting with Charlie and Pierce! I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did. Find their debut album on their Bandcamp page.This interview was recorded just before Gurriers' excellent debut headline Canadian show at The Garrison in Toronto last month.

(Our extra-special Patreon Superfans get the full, unedited interview... including some hearty debate about Simply Red!)RSD reality check: Ashli reveal what it's like to run a record shop during Record Store Day – including the high-stakes gamble of ordering for the big day.Ashli explains how shops cannot return any unsold Record Store Day stock: so if a shop is left with too many unsold titles, it can negate the entire profit margin for the event. CDs are... back: Ashli sees teenagers gravitating toward them as a "retro" and affordable alternative to increasingly expensive vinyl.How sales of popular albums can "fall off a cliff" simply because it's impossible to reorder from the warehouse, due to labels' unwillingness to sit on large quantities of stock.The Jools Holland Effect vs. the TikTok Effect: While the Jools Holland effect on sales has waned, TikTok now has a tangible impact on what (especially younger) customers ask for.We finally settle the argument: does PJ Harvey belong under 'P' or 'H'? A bonus filing complication: Record Store Day filing rules follow the official list order, which is alphabetical by first name. (We're still not 100% clear how this effects PJ Harvey, though.)(If you'd like to know more about the history of Spillers, this interview with Ashli is well worth a read: https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/story-uks-oldest-record-shop-15805068)===================================As ever, we welcome your feedback, emails and – in particular – any questions you might have about how the music biz works!Email us: thepriceofmusicpodcast@gmail.comSee you next week!Steve and Stuart======TPOM online: http://tpom.uk/Support The Price of Music on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/ThePriceofMusicFollow Steve on X - @steve_lamacqFollow Stuart on X - @stuartdredgeFollow The Price of Music on X - @PriceofMusicpodFor sponsorship opportunities, please email - joe@musically.com
https://blacksheeprecordsmusicllc.comBioWritten by Taylor BerryLAFAYETTE, La. — A lifetime of hard moments and honest reflection comes to thesurface in Blue's debut single, “Summer Nights Goodbye,” arriving March 2026 viaStarlight Media. The Lafayette, Louisiana, songwriter isn't interested in dressing things up. His music is rooted in truth—real experiences, real emotions, and the kind of memories that don'tfade. “Summer Nights Goodbye” leans into that, capturing the quiet, lingering feeling ofloss in a way that feels both personal and familiar, shaped in part by his wife's passing.Recorded at Beaird Music Group in Nashville, the track was brought to life under thedirection of ACM Award-nominated producer Eli Beaird, with engineering by JimDeBlanc. The production is clean and intentional, giving the story space to breathewhile still delivering a sound that sits comfortably within today's country landscape.Blue's writing stands out in its detail. Small, specific moments—things you can see,hear, even smell—bring his songs to life. It's a style he's developed through patienceand persistence, often working through dozens of versions of a track before landing onthe one that feels right.“I just keep going until it sounds like what I hear in my head,” he said. “If it doesn't feelright, I'm not done yet.” That dedication shows in “Summer Nights Goodbye,” a song that doesn't rush its emotions or try to force a moment. Instead, it unfolds naturally, allowing listeners to sitwith it and find their own meaning within it.Early feedback from industry professionals has reinforced Blue's instinct for detail-driven storytelling. During a recent listening session with a Nashville publisher, BeairdMusic Group's Aaron Beaird and Concord Records executive Matt Turner noted thecinematic quality of his writing, pointing to the way small details bring his songs to life.The response offered encouragement to continue refining his voice and approach.Musically, Blue blends elements of pop country with red dirt grit and a touch of soul,creating a sound that feels both grounded and accessible. There are shades of artistslike Morgan Wallen, Tyler Childers and HARDY in his approach, but his focus remainson telling stories that come from a real place.At its core, his music is about connection. Blue writes for people who have been throughsomething—those navigating grief, change or simply trying to make sense of life'sheavier moments. There's a sense of resilience woven throughout his work, even in itsmost emotional points.“Summer Nights Goodbye” marks the beginning of what Blue hopes will be a lastingbody of work—songs people return to, not just when they're looking for something tolisten to, but when they're looking to feel understood.About BlueBlack Sheep Records Music LLC is proud to present Blue, a songwriter from Lafayette,Louisiana, who is changing the face of country music. Operating under one rule—“tellthe truth and let it bleed” Blue creates a sound that blends pop country, redemptionsoul and red dirt grit. Known for his dedication to the craft, he often works throughdozens of versions of a song to get it just right. His music combines the hook-drivenappeal of artists like Morgan Wallen with the honesty of Tyler Childers and HARDY,delivering songs that resonate with listeners who are both broken and strong. With hisdebut single “Summer Nights Goodbye,” released in March 2026 by Starlight Media,Blue is turning personal experience into music that doesn't just tell stories—it makespeople feel them.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

Hawaiian Concert Guide Podcast Show 702 - Royal Flush Welcome to another inspiring edition of the Hawaiian Concert Guide. Episode 702, titled Royal Flush, is a heartfelt musical journey through aloha for family, love of place, worship, memory, and the unmistakable beauty of Hawaiian harmony. This episode moves gracefully from contemporary Hawaiian recordings into faith-filled expressions, pauses for a fun and nostalgic exotica interlude, and then returns home with classic Hawaiian vocal richness. At the top of the show, we feature a special live interview with Nick and Sam, who are visiting Hilo, Hawaiʻi for the world-renowned Merrie Monarch Festival, the premier celebration of hula and Hawaiian cultural arts. From the vibrant energy of Hilo during festival week to the deep traditions of hula, chant, and storytelling, Nick and Sam share their firsthand experiences attending one of the most significant cultural events in Hawaiʻi. Their perspective offers listeners a glimpse into the atmosphere, excitement, and reverence that define Merrie Monarch. The selections in this episode reflect some of the deepest values found in Hawaiian music: reverence for loved ones, profound attachment to the land, gratitude to God, and the enduring power of mele to preserve both emotion and identity. The result is an episode that feels warm, reflective, and deeply rooted. Featured Tracks 1. E Māma - Kaleo Phillips Album: E Mama Duration: 4:01 Opening the episode is E Māma, a song that immediately establishes an intimate and reverent emotional tone. The title suggests a tribute to mother, and in Hawaiian musical tradition, songs honoring mothers often carry meanings that go beyond a single individual. They can also reflect family lineage, sacrifice, tenderness, and the continuity of aloha across generations. Kaleo Phillips delivers the mele with restraint and sincerity, allowing the song's emotional core to remain front and center. Rather than overwhelming the listener with a dense arrangement, the song appears to rely on warmth, vocal phrasing, and a steady melodic line. That simplicity is part of its strength. Hawaiian music often does its best work when it trusts the story. As an opening track, this selection acts as a gateway into the entire episode. It introduces a theme that echoes through several of the songs that follow: love expressed not through spectacle, but through remembrance, gentleness, and deep personal connection. Theme: Family love, reverence, remembrance Musical character: Gentle, reflective, intimate Why it matters: Sets the emotional and spiritual tone for the full episode 2. Puna Kuʻu Aloha - Christy Leinaʻala Lassiter Album: Ho'i Ke Aloha - EP Duration: 3:57 Puna Kuʻu Aloha is a beautiful example of Hawaiian songwriting rooted in place. In Hawaiian mele, land is never just scenery. It is memory, identity, relationship, and presence. To sing of Puna is to sing of a living place with emotional and cultural meaning. Christy Leinaʻala Lassiter brings grace and emotional clarity to this performance. The phrase kuʻu aloha conveys a deeply personal affection, making the title feel like a love letter to Puna itself. This is one of the distinctive strengths of Hawaiian music: the ability to treat land as beloved, not merely observed. Puna, on Hawaiʻi Island, carries layers of meaning through its lush beauty, dynamic volcanic history, and deep cultural associations. Songs about Puna often hold a sense of longing, beauty, and transformation. This recording fits naturally within that lineage, inviting the listener to hear place as something cherished and alive. Theme: Love of place, emotional geography, identity Musical character: Flowing, melodic, affectionate Why it matters: Reinforces the Hawaiian tradition of connecting aloha with the land 3. Haleakalā - Christy Leinaʻala Lassiter Album: Ho'i Ke Aloha - EP Duration: 3:37 Staying with Christy Leinaʻala Lassiter, Haleakalā shifts the focus from one beloved region to one of Hawaiʻi's most revered natural and spiritual landmarks. Haleakalā is not only a mountain; it is a place layered with story, reverence, and mythic resonance. In Hawaiian tradition, places are often inseparable from the narratives attached to them. Haleakalā is famously associated with Māui, who was said to have lassoed the sun there. Because of that, references to Haleakalā can carry themes of time, light, wonder, and power. A song named for it naturally invites awe. Musically, this piece feels expansive, fitting the majesty of the subject. It broadens the emotional landscape of the episode and deepens the sense that Hawaiian music can hold both personal tenderness and geographic grandeur in the same artistic frame. Theme: Sacred place, wonder, mythic landscape Musical character: Spacious, reverent, elevated Why it matters: Expands the episode from intimate affection into spiritual geography 4. Goodness of God - Gregory Juan Album: Kauluwehi Duration: 3:41 With Goodness of God, the episode moves more directly into the language of testimony and praise. Though widely known in contemporary Christian music, a Hawaiian-oriented rendition invites the listener to hear the song through a different cultural lens. In this context, gratitude becomes more than a lyric theme; it connects naturally with the Hawaiian value of mahalo. Gregory Juan's performance likely resonates because of that fusion. Contemporary worship songs can sometimes feel structurally familiar, but when interpreted with island phrasing, local vocal sensibility, and an ear for relational warmth, they can take on a more grounded and communal feeling. This track serves as an important bridge in the episode. The earlier songs honor people and places. Here, the orientation shifts upward in gratitude toward God. That movement from family and land into faith gives the episode a natural spiritual progression. Theme: Gratitude, testimony, faith Musical character: Worshipful, warm, heartfelt Why it matters: Bridges Hawaiian sensibility with contemporary Christian expression 5. Hawaiʻi Aloha - Kamalei Kawaʻa Album: Mānaiakalani Duration: 4:56 Few songs carry the emotional and cultural significance of Hawaiʻi Aloha. This is one of the most beloved anthems in Hawaiian music, often sung at the close of gatherings as a gesture of unity, affection, and enduring connection to the islands and their people. Kamalei Kawaʻa's inclusion of this song is powerful within the context of Episode 702. After moving through songs of personal love, cherished places, and gratitude to God, this anthem broadens the circle to embrace the whole of Hawaiʻi. It becomes communal rather than only personal. The strength of this song lies not only in melody but in function. It has become a song that people live with, sing together, and use to mark belonging. That sense of shared identity is one of the central treasures of Hawaiian music. Theme: Unity, homeland, shared aloha Musical character: Anthemic, communal, dignified Why it matters: One of the emotional anchors of the entire episode 6. Hoʻomana Ia Iesu (feat. Ka ʻOhana Kawaʻa) - Kamalei Kawaʻa Album: Mānaiakalani Duration: 4:04 Hoʻomana Ia Iesu brings the episode to an explicitly devotional place. The title itself centers worship of Jesus, and the featured participation of Ka ʻOhana Kawaʻa adds a family and community dimension that is especially meaningful in Hawaiian music. Hawaiian Christian music has long occupied an important place in the islands' musical life. What makes songs like this especially compelling is the way they join worship with family, language, and local style. Faith is not presented as abstract doctrine, but as something lived together and sung together. The communal nature of the performance likely enhances its emotional impact. Family voices singing in harmony naturally reinforce the message. In a broader sense, this track reflects one of the recurring motifs of the episode: love becomes fullest when shared. Theme: Worship, family faith, shared devotion Musical character: Reverent, communal, spiritually centered Why it matters: Deepens the episode's faith dimension while preserving a strong Hawaiian identity Exotica Segment 7. Exotica Segment Intro - pik00 Duration: 4:10 This segment intro marks a stylistic transition in the episode. Up to this point, the program has focused on music deeply rooted in Hawaiian identity, language, faith, and place. The Exotica segment steps sideways into a related but distinctly different musical world: one shaped by fantasy, lounge aesthetics, and mid-century tropical imagination. That contrast is part of what makes the segment valuable. It offers not only variety, but also perspective. It reminds listeners that “island music” has often been interpreted and reimagined far beyond Hawaiʻi itself. 8. On the Beach at Waikīkī (mix final) - Les Waikikings Album: Hapa haole with a twist Duration: 2:17 On the Beach at Waikīkī leans into the playful charm of tropical nostalgia. The title alone evokes postcard Hawaiʻi: surf, sand, leisure, and romance. In exotica and hapa-haole-adjacent material, the islands often become a stage for fantasy rather than an expression of local lived culture. That does not make the piece without merit. On the contrary, tracks like this can be delightful, catchy, and historically revealing. They show how Hawaiʻi was imagined internationally and how tropical motifs were translated into entertainment music for broad audiences. Within this episode, the song acts as a light palate cleanser. It introduces a wink of vintage fun before the program returns to more deeply rooted Hawaiian harmony. Theme: Tropical nostalgia, leisure, fantasy Musical character: Breezy, lounge-like, playful Why it matters: Adds historical contrast and tonal variety 9. How dya do - Les Waikikings Album: Hapa haole with a twist Duration: 3:03 How dya do continues the exotica mood with a likely emphasis on upbeat rhythm, polished arrangement, and the stylized “tropical” sound associated with mid-century popular music. These sorts of recordings often present a cheerful, cinematic island atmosphere rather than a culturally grounded one. For listeners of the Hawaiian Concert Guide, that difference is worth noticing. Authentic Hawaiian music often carries place, genealogy, language, and community. Exotica tends to carry mood, escapism, and fantasy. Hearing both in one episode can be educational as well as entertaining. In programming terms, this track keeps the episode lively and prevents the emotional arc from becoming too uniform. It is a well-timed detour before the music returns to classic Hawaiian vocal artistry. Theme: Escapism, retro charm, tropical stylization Musical character: Light, rhythmic, lounge-oriented Why it matters: Helps frame the distinction between Hawaiian music and music inspired by Hawaiʻi Closing Selections: Return to Hawaiian Vocal Depth 10. Ka Loke - Ho'okena Album: Ho'okena 5 Duration: 4:16 The return from exotica to Ho'okena is a return to center. Ka Loke carries the unmistakable richness of Hawaiian group harmony and poetic sensibility. Ho'okena is known for vocal blend, emotional precision, and the ability to let the song breathe. The title, meaning “the rose,” suggests metaphor, beauty, and affection. Hawaiian songwriting frequently uses natural imagery not simply as decoration, but as a means of expressing human feeling. Flowers, winds, rains, mountains, and seas all become emotional language. This track is especially effective late in the episode because it restores a sense of depth and rootedness after the lighter detour of the exotica set. The listener is brought back into the fuller emotional and cultural world of Hawaiian mele. Theme: Beauty, poetic love, emotional symbolism Musical character: Harmonically rich, graceful, classic Why it matters: Re-centers the episode in traditional Hawaiian vocal beauty 11. I Love You - Ho'okena Album: Ho'okena 5 Duration: 4:11 I Love You closes the episode with warmth and universality. While the title is in English, the emotional spirit aligns perfectly with the rest of the program. The entire episode has, in one form or another, been about love: love for mother, love for place, love for God, love expressed in community, and love carried in harmony. Ho'okena's treatment of a song like this likely gives it both accessibility and depth. Their vocal approach can make even a simple phrase feel timeless. That is one of the gifts of strong Hawaiian harmony: it elevates feeling without forcing it. As a final track, this song functions almost like a benediction. It leaves the listener with a sense of peace and completion, gathering together the many emotional strands of the episode into one simple message. Theme: Love, closure, emotional unity Musical character: Gentle, harmonious, reassuring Why it matters: A fitting final statement for an episode built around aloha in many forms Episode Reflection Episode 702, E Māma, is structured with unusual emotional coherence. Even though the tracks come from different artists and include a temporary move into exotica, the overall episode still feels unified. That unity comes from its central themes: affection, reverence, gratitude, and connection. The first portion of the program focuses on intimacy and place. E Māma, Puna Kuʻu Aloha, and Haleakalā all carry a sense of deep regard, whether for family or landscape. From there, the episode opens into spiritual testimony with Goodness of God, then broadens into collective and devotional identity through Hawaiʻi Aloha and Hoʻomana Ia Iesu. The exotica segment introduces contrast and historical perspective, reminding listeners that Hawaiʻi has often been interpreted from afar in ways that are entertaining but not always rooted. That makes the return to Ho'okena especially satisfying. Their closing selections restore the sound of home, depth, and harmony. If there is a single word that best describes this episode, it is aloha. Not merely as a greeting, but as a way of relating: to mother, to beloved places, to God, to family, and to one another. Track List E Māma - Kaleo Phillips - 4:01 Puna Kuʻu Aloha - Christy Leinaʻala Lassiter - 3:57 Haleakalā - Christy Leinaʻala Lassiter - 3:37 Goodness of God - Gregory Juan - 3:41 Hawaiʻi Aloha - Kamalei Kawaʻa - 4:56 Hoʻomana Ia Iesu (feat.

May these songs encourage you to remember those you love, appreciate the beauty of Hawaiʻi, and carry aloha into the week ahead. A hui hou and malama pono.

Ep. 180: Music consumption today is borderless, but the systems that manage it have historically been national. Now, collective management organisations are undergoing their most significant transformation in decades. On one hand, they are becoming global infrastructure players, scaling systems, data and partnerships to match worldwide music consumption. On the other, they are redefining their relationship with creators whose ways of making, monetising and collaborating are changing just as rapidly.We're joined by Caroline Champarnaud, Sacem's Director of International, and Julien Dumon, Director of Digital. They talk about how CMOs are evolving into interconnected, global infrastructure players. We explore the challenges of global metadata, why international partnerships with organisations like ASCAP and GEMA are more vital than ever, and how Sacem is scaling its systems to match the explosive growth of music streaming in emerging markets.SACEM: Society of Authors, Composers and Publishers of MusicThis is the third in a special series of Music Ally Focus made in collaboration with Sacem, exploring the evolution of collective management in the modern music industry – looking at technology, policy, copyright and more. In the next episode, we'll discuss the evolution of CMOs further, and how the global infrastructure only works if it ultimately serves creators, whose needs are evolving just as fast as the systems built to support them.=========In the first episode in the series, David El Sayegh, Deputy CEO of Sacem, discussed how the organisation is defining the future of copyright.In the second episode, we were joined by Julien Lefebvre, the Head of Innovation and Sacem Lab, to talk about its startup partnerships, and the strategic decision to open up certain proprietary technologies to all creators.=======This is a Music Ally Co-Labs podcast: musically.com/music-ally-co-labs.

The Doors- Waiting For The Sun (Elektra Records) Released -July 3, 1968 Waiting for the Sun (1968), the third album by The Doors, arrived at a moment when the band was already one of the most prominent rock groups in America. Recorded between late 1967 and early 1968 and released on Elektra Records, the album reflects both creative ambition and growing internal strain, particularly as Jim Morrison struggled with heavy drinking and the pressure to produce new material.Musically, the record shows the group's wide stylistic range. Songs like “Hello, I Love You” delivered commercial radio success, while tracks such as “The Unknown Soldier” and “Five to One” explored darker, more experimental and political themes. Robby Krieger's inventive guitar work, Ray Manzarek's distinctive organ textures, and John Densmore's jazz-influenced drumming help maintain the band's unmistakable sound. Despite mixed critical reactions at the time, the album became the band's only U.S. number-one LP and remains an important entry in their catalog. (S5-Ep14)
The nominees for this years Rock n Roll Hall of Fame hopefuls was recently released. Of course, we're squarely behind the mighty Iron Maiden getting their log overdue accolades. But there's also a number of other artists that both nod and shake our heads. So this week we go through the list and play our most comprehensive game of "Should and Will" yet. Namely who we think should go in. And who we think will get the honors this year. Who are your picks? Musically, we crank some new and used from Metal Church, Exciter, Paul DiAnno's Warhorse, Wild Dogs, Warsenal, Cheap Perfume, Howler, Meat Vault and we introduce Swedish metallers Savage Sword in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up!!
Walk with us through hell (wrong album for that pun, I know) as we take a look at a Heavy Metal classic that carries as much weight today in 2026 as it did back in 2004 when it was released. This week we're covering "Ashes of the Wake" by Lamb of God. Released in 2004 as the United States was at war with Iraq and Afghanistan , this album is a perfect time capsule of what was in the political air. In many ways a warning of what may be in 2026. Musically, one of the best written albums as well. Mixing influences from across thrash, metal core, and groove, this album would become one of the peaks of the New Wave of American Heavy Metal movement.

This week the boys sit down and discuss New Year's Resolutions, Cioppino, baseball, Bad Bunny, Gin + Champagne, Rom coms, and much much more!
Heavy Metallers have traditionally been complete package type people. The tunes rule, of course. But we also enjoy the physical product as a whole. And the album graphics could serve two purposes: for both art and/or promotion. And this week we go deep into the discussion. How 'bout for you. Do the album covers make or break a record for you? In our "News, Views and Tunes", we go over Seb Bach as the new (live) Twisted Sister vocalist and we hit up a local record con. Musically, we crank some Dark Throne, Vitamin X, Portrait, Haggus, Black Lace, Obsession (US), Cyclone and we introduce LA hardcore bashers Broken Focus in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up!!
The '86 Alice Cooper album "Constrictor" is a rather important effort. This album #17 (!) is a comeback album of sorts for Cooper. The shock rocker spent the 80s up to this point battling demons which resulted in some terrible records. This record showcased a clean, reinvigorated Alice. And the result was a masterpiece. And as for RAM, this album was basically our starting point in our Alice fandom. So this week we're giving this platter our "40th Anniversary Album Spotlight Series" treatment. We discuss how we discovered the album, it's importance in our lives and the hired guns behind the music. Like Kip Winger (!!) Then of course we do a track by track deep dive. Alice does indeed live here. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we binged the "Riot Women" BBC TV show. Musically, we crank some Midnight, Betsy (Bitch), Spectral Wound, Lead Injector, First Jason, Tyrant (US), Juggernaut and we introduce Chile's Night Savage in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up!!
1986 was an interesting year in the Black Sabbath camp. Fan interest was waning. Bands that Sabbath influenced were leaving them in the dust. And the band's 12th album "Seventh Star" wasn't doing them any favors. At this point, Sabbath was basically the Tony Iommi Project and the Sabbath sound was abandoned for something a little more 80s friendly. So this week we decided to tackle this forgotten record in our "40th Anniversary Album Spotlight Series". We go into everything surrounding the band at the time before doing a deep dive into the album. This was not your Dad's Sabbath. Or anyone else's for that matter. In our "News, Views and Tunes", we pay tribute to Mark from Impetigo (RIP). Musically, we crank Exhumed, Jello Biafra, Trouble, The Obsessed, the aforementioned Impetigo, Death Row (Ger), Leatherhead, Black Knight and we introduce British punkers Be N!ce in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up!!
