TILLERMAN are a no nonsense rock guitar band who wear their influences on their sleeves. There are shades of The Stones and The Beatles - and a more contemporary almost Britpop feel to their music.

This week we are joined by author Lucy Nichol to discuss her new book 'The Twenty Seven Club', we have an exclusive track recorded for the podcast from our Artist Of The Week SINKA, we reveal both our Single Of The Week and Hottest New Track Of The Week plus we play some great new releases from Jess Kemp, Columbia, Taxi Rank and Shaun O'Reilly.

KAVANAGH are alternative rock juggernauts. Their new single ‘Citizen 202’ is the epitome of DIY rock n roll. Crashing in at under two minutes, it is a true tour de force; The sound here is raw and heavy, a Beastie Boys tinged monster of a tune. Produced by Mike Bennett (The Fall, The Specials), ‘Citizen 202’ is an exciting whirlwind of a song and also our Single Of The Week.

North-East trio bigfatbig take our Single Of The Week with their bright and punchy new single ‘Don’t Wanna Be Sad’. The slacker girl band have their fingers on the pulse with this one, with cries of “Me Too!” and a hard hitting chorus. With jangly guitar riffs and lyrics to take notice of, ‘Don't Wanna Be Sad’ is a triumph of a tune.

Host Adam Jackson-Wright has an early play of 'Joker' the upcoming new single from Reclaim Vienna, Tom Farmer interviews Karla from SPRINTS, bigfatbag taker our Single Of The Week, additions to the All Day Gig with tickets now on sale now plus plays of the latest indie releases. A great show, check it out~!
