Show tracks for Sat. Apr. 28/12

EPIC!
That's the word for the night, I think. Firstly, the new Richard Hawley looks to be an album of the year contender. We feature the second track from it tonight, a free download of the title track "Standing at the Sky's Edge".

Secondly, the long awaited debut from Clock Opera was in the LP Session. Been a while in the making and it hasn't disappointed. Stay for the whole show and we'll get into the new Gaz Coombes as well, the station got a advance, so we take advantage.
Also featured some 2012 Record Store Day layovers and some new singles like Public Service Broadcasting. It's so easy for this type of project to go horribly wrong. But this EP hits it out of the park.

Show tracks for Sat. Apr. 21/12 Record Store Day


Being a British music fan, Record Store Days are always a bit of an anti-climax being in North America. For the most part, releases just don't make it over here. The fact that some are so limited makes it even harder to track them down online. This year it was a pleasant surprise to be able to pick up 5 releases today.
Due to friends sharing some of their purchases we celebrate today by playing a large selection of them (or at least versions or other tracks by the same artists).
Maybe one year I'll be able to enjoy a Record Store Day in the UK and go nuts shopping.

There were some regular new releases as well like the new Primitives single. Been waiting a while for this one and it didn't disappoint.

Show tracks for Sat. Apr. 14/12

Featured a set of tracks from the Strummerville site. They are all free downloads, you should check this site every once and a while. There are some truly great songs to be heard from bands that don't get a lot of attention. Which is the whole point of Strummerville, to give up and coming bands access to resources they wouldn't otherwise have. I stuck with the more indie bands tonight. Next week we'll delve into the reggae/punk side a little more.

Show tracks for Sat. Apr. 7/12

During the show I heard from a couple little birdies that Cowboys & Indies did in fact win a Jammy award for Best On Air Personality! Thanks so much to all of you who voted and showed this old Coyboy some love this year. I appreciate every single one of you, after all this show wouldn't be possible without your support. Thank you!

I was excited to see the new Dalis Car InGladAloneness EP available for download this week. I am a huge fan of both Mick and Peter. This EP was supposed to be an album until Mick's tragic death last year cut short the recording. Peter took the 5 tracks they had finished, mastered and released them in this EP. The CD can be pre-ordered from Burning Shed at this link;
