TRACKLISTING. MONDAY 09/01/2012

On tonight’s show we welcomed Evan from The Kabeedies into the studio to fill us in on the Norwich/Woodbridge band’s latest exploits. The sanguine four-piece have been busy in the studio of late and we heard the lead single, ‘Eyes’, from their new album Soap, out on January 23^rd. The track’s video just got uploaded to YouTube and you can view it here.

Our live fix came courtesy of Manchester troubadour Gideon Conn, who provided us with two acoustic tracks recorded for Sean McGinty’s BBC Introducing In Lancashire show.

Short but definitely not sweet, we heard the brilliantly bratty Ramones-inflected punk of Dan Sartain on the track ‘Now Now Now’, which also features Jane Wiedlin from legendary band The Go-Go's. And we have Piney Gir to thank for satisfying our sweet tooth this week with ‘Outta Sight’. Consider us smitten - we can’t resist those sugary harmonies and that George Harrison-esque guitar solo.

There must be something in the water in South Shields if the fragile, elegiac sounds of The Union Choir and Here Comes Good Sailing are anything to go by. Both bands are from the same town in the North-East of England and both are equally adept at masterfully embracing the melancholic.

Recommendations from Ruth Barnes and Bobby Friction are always a treat for the ears and this week’s crop did not disappoint. Ruth’s tip, ‘Ghost Mountain You And Me’ by Thought Forms, is all cascading waves of guitar and splashing cymbals. On the other hand ‘Bung Ho’ by Pakistani-American Desi outfit The Kominas, recommended by Bobby, is a stunning piece of rock ‘n’ roll freak-outery. You can download their self-title album absolutely free from their website.

And this week we saved the best till last - a superb piece of ambient electro called ‘Park’ from Bristol based music producer and apprenctice piano technician Barny Carter.
