Today we start of with some bands that used to be big in the 80s: Jesus and Mary Chain and Depeche Mode. Dave Gahan seems to be inspired a lot by the sounds he created with the Soulsavers a few years ago. Todd Rundgren is also back and his new single is a collaboration with Swedish dance artists Robyn. Automatic City from France sent us their new cover of Chuck Berry’s Havana Moon. We introduce two new bands from England, Mulholland from York and Mark and The Clouds from London. Zagreb’s Trobecove Krusne Peci are back with a live album recorded at the Club Kocka. Speaking of live albums and clubs, there’s a new various artists deal called Start Your Own Fucking Show Space, which pays a tribute to a club in Brooklyn called Death by Audio. Also, live in Cleveland, Kevin Gordon plays his new tune.
Most of our show today is filled with interesting new power pop bands. We start off with the Allrightniks from Virgina, then JoDee Purkeypile from Texas. The New Medicants is a duet formed by Norman Blake from Teenage Fanclub and Joe Pernice, one of the Pernice Brothers. Mark Crozer, who used to be in Jesus and Mary Chain, now plays power pop with The Rels over in Charlotte NC. We also introduce Todd May from Columbus OH and Frank Bango from Delaware. Towards the end of the show we depart from the given genre and sample a new record for Timothy Presley aka White Fence.
