Ty Segall is back with the new double LP, and it sounds like he surpassed his last year’s self titled record. Lots of good music on this one. Heron Oblivion have a new album out, which was recorded live in San Francisco last year. Thee Fine Lines from Springfield, MO and our local darlings, Archie and The Bunkers are also back. Also from Cleveland, we have the new band for David Petrovich, who Clevelanders know as a charismatic guy selling second hand junk in the basement of Beachland. The new band is called Black Tights. We also have them in our live in CLE block. We also introduce Robyn Gibson from UK who keeps cranking excellent home made covers of power pop hits. Another band that we hear here for the first time is The Cold Still from Canada. The biggest thing in today show is the new band that we play for the first time at the show. They come from Brooklyn and their name is I Am The Polish Army. Today’s show is dedicated to the South African trumpet player Hugh Masekela who passed away last week.

Today we being with the North Carolina band Mount Moriah lead by Heather McEntire and a tune from their latest album How To Dance. Then we introduce the work of Italian singer songwriter Sara Ardizzioni who goes by the name of Dagger Moth. We also check out the new tune from Cleveland’s own Archie and The Bunkers and a new one from Zagreb’s Erotic Biljan and His Heretics. We close things off with Shooter Jennings (son of Waylon) and Marilyn Manson, collaborating on the David Bowie cover Cat People.
Just a few new things today, but definitely goodies! Archie and The Bunkers of Cleveland have a new single. We introduce garage rocking from Madcaps in France and sweet power pop of Junipers from UK and David Brookings and The Average Lookings from San Jose, CA. Moreover, a couple of months earlier everybody raved about the ladies of Savage from UK. We finally check out what’s it all about.
For some reason, I received a bunch of new records which are clearly inspired by the kraut rock – a German rock movement from the early ’70s which contained long, repetitive pieces, sometimes taking over the entire side of one LP. The new bands obviously have multiple influences, but I think that the following bands are truly influenced by kraut rock: Hypnodrone Ensemble from Berlin, Kinski from Seattle, Ancient Sky from Brooklyn and King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard from Australia. At the end of the show, we hear a live tune by a new, young, up and coming duet from Cleveland, Archie and The Bunkers.
