Today we introduce a young singer songwriter from South London Jade Bird. Rivaling her disarming youth, we also check out the newest from Colleen Green hailing from San Diego CA. Also in California, Lisa Mychols has a new song. Nick Piunti from Detroit has a new single. Crocodiles had a series of digital eps during the pandemic, and now it’s all on a disc. Tough Age from Canada has a playful new single. Also in Canada, Underwater Sunshine recorded a series of basement recordings in 1996-97 and now it’s all released finally. At the end of the show, we pay tribute to Steve Martin Caro and Tom Finn, former Left Banke members who both passed away a year ago.

Today we begin with two obituaries. Arturo Vega, art director and logo designer of The Ramones passed away on June 8 this year. Alan Myers drummer of Devo passed away on June 24. After we pay respect to the two of them, we continue with some new music. King Louie’s Missing Monuments have a new single, Calexico covers Replacements on the new EP and Mama Rosin joins forces with Mick Collins and Matt Verta-Ray for a Marvelette’s tune Please Mr Postman. Mark Ribot’s Ceramic Dog has an exceptional new album and Lisa Mychols is back with the new album too. Finally, we have a reissue of the Shoes first LP One In Versailles which is finally widely available.
Today we have new songs for Black Lips and Grant Hart. Nick Saloman and his Bevis Frond has a new double album out called White Numbers. We also sample the new tribute record called Dring A Toast To Innocence: A Tribute to Lite Rock, which collects interesting cover versions of cheesy 70s radio hits. As it turns out, those songs weren’t that bad after all, so we hear Lisa Mychols’ cover of David Soul’s Don’t Give Up On Us and Plasticsouls’ cover of Fleetwood Mac’s Sentimental Lady. Australia is the land of great garage rock bands. Step-Panther is another new name from that scene to prove it.
