Hurrah!!! My first gig of 2012 and it was a great bill; Reckless Love, Jettblack and The Treatment all on the same bill as part of HMV’s “Next Big Thing”.
Not really much else to add apart from enjoy 2 hours of top rock courtesy of Spinefarm Records.

King’s X, I Love You and The Masters Of Reality get things underway this week with The Darlings Of Chelsea covering The Hellacopters following in their wake. Imperial State Electric have a new single out. So naturally I play it. Squirrel chums and favourites The Gasoline Queens have re-recorded one of their songs so obviously that also gets an airing. A Dilana, Tracii Guns lead LA Guns live track is played before it gets consigned to a shoe box and kicked under the bed. Peepshow have a new CD out for us to enjoy so, a track gets played off it. Then it’s the turn of Scandinavia with The Leather Nun, The Flaming Sideburns and Wig Wam all coming up trumps. Things get a bit punky with G.B.H. then it gets all Classic with Australia’s Electric Mary. Into the home straight I return to Canada with The Black Halos and finally Teenage Head.

Some spoken word Henry Rollins kicks this week's show off as I went up and saw him on the 20that The Royal Festival Hall. The first music comes courtesy of The Carburetors with hopefully the song that's going to represent Norway in this year's Eurovision Song Contest. Next up are Mary's Kids with the first track to be aired from their forthcoming LP. Zen Motel also treat us to new material before P.I.L., The Damned and The Ruts round things off.

As the Yo-Yo's are reforming for a one off date I naturally play something by them and by Plan A who will be supporting them on said night. Up next is The Dead Boys featuring John Belushi of Animal House and The Blues Brothers fame on drums. Then I send you headlong into an aural maelstrom of AC/DC, The Hollywood Brats, Girlschool, The Genders, Motörhead, King's X, Thee Michelle Gun Elephant, Marty Robbins, M.O.D., Foo Fighters, The Poodles and Strike Twice.

A short, but sharp show for you this week, it's all about quality. A solo Ginger track kick starts 2012, well he did end 2011, then it's over the pond to LA for Prima Donna. Adrian Smith has a new project called Primal Rock Rebellion in the can so I play a track off said LP. Shush went all strings and acoustic for part of their 100 Club gig late last year which you get to hear. The Rich Jones produced Role Models 12" of last year has a track aired and as The Treatment, JettBlack and Reckless Love are all playing on the same bill up at the Garage next month I play a track from each of them. The final track this episode is The Wildhearts with "29x The Pain" but I've swapped the "Suckerpunch" single intro with the '96 intro because I can.
