On now:
The Knock by FEEDER
from Black / Red 2024
The Newport (South Wales) indie-rockers roll on with their first double album. Band leader, Grant Nicholas, says the decision to release the record as a double CD was to make it 'almost like a musical production with an interval'. He also says this song is 'about a highway... of life and the journey... it can take us on'


On next:
Harry's Still Sad by SPENCER
from We Built This Mountain Just To See The Sunrise 2016
Spencer were a Swiss indie-rock band from Aargau. Their single 'Harry's Still Sad' was a big hit with us but we've heard nothing from them since 2017. They reminded us muchly of Leicester's acclaimed Diesel Park West. The line-up was Leo Niessner (vcls, gtr), Pashi (bss), JP Free (drms) and Reto Eggenberger (kybds)

And we just played these...
Jacob's Ladder by THE FILTHY TONGUES
from Jacob's Ladder 2016
Formerly Isa And The Filthy Tongues, Martin Metcalfe's hugely under-rated Bathgate band have been making music together since the 80s and were also previously known as Goodbye Mr MacKenzie

I'll Be Creepin' by FREE
from Free 1969
The second album by the band formed in London in 1968. They disbanded in 1973, with lead singer Paul Rodgers forming Bad Company along with Simon Kirke on drums; lead guitarist Paul Kossoff dying from a drug-induced heart attack in 1976, & bassist Andy Fraser forming his own band. This is the single version, only included on later re-issues of the album

Who Made Who by AC/DC
from Who Made Who 1986
Short-trousered Aussies in 'long-term career' shock!

Six Blade Knife by DIRE STRAITS
from Dire Straits 1977
From the band's first album, this was also included in Tarantino's 1995 film 'Desperado'

Pretty Suspicious by ALEXANDRA LEAVING
from 2024
The Shropshire singer takes her inspiration from the rather wonderful Leonard Cohen song of the same name

Long Time Coming by DELAYS
from 2004
A pleasant slice of indie from the Southampton indie (originally called Corky)

Fuzz Jam by THE LAZY EYES
from SongBook 2022
The Sydney band are Harvey Karate (vcls, gtr, kybds), Itay Sasha (vcls, gtr), Leon Karagic (bass) and Noah Martin (drms). This was one of THE best singles of 2022

Funplex by THE B-52s
from Funplex 2007
This was the first studio album by the band since 1992. From Athens (Georgia, USA), their name comes from the bouffant wigs worn by singers Cindy Wilson and Kate Pierson (not the U.S. bomber)
