SULK Interview

So this basically a blog posting just linking to another blog posting!

SULK are one of my favourite new bands.  I've always been a sucker for a jangly guitar and they have them in spades.  Their debut album Graceless has just been released and is already a contender for my album of the year. Yes, there are comparisons to be made with the Stone Roses but there is plenty that is original here and I strongly recommend giving them a listen.

I had lead singer Jon on the Vapour Trails show recently and you can read my interview with him on the Strangeways Radio blog.

Vapour Trails hits the airwaves

I'm pleased to say that, starting this week (7th), my new show Vapour Trails will be going out on Strangeways Radio every Monday at 3pm EST, 8pm GMT.

I'm thinking of this as my 'bigger Britpop' show.  What do I mean by that?  Well for a start I'm going to be playing a wider range of music as I think that the audience will be a bit more specialist, so I have the licence to go 'off-piste' a little.  Yes, there will still be Blur & Oasis but with an hour to record every week it wont last very long if I just play the hit singles.  So you can expect more album tracks, more recent material from established Britpop bands, we'll go back and even have some Madchester and Baggy as well as picking up on some more current bands who I think fit with the Britpop genre.

Come and join me every Monday afternoon (America) or evening (Europe) at strangewaysradio.com, you'll find me in the chatroom.  Stop by and say hello!
