Yellow Brit Road 26 April 2026: The Last Dinner Party, The Grad Club, Marketing and Psyops

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 11:00:00 GMT

This week on the Yellow Brit Road, we bring you reviews from seeing The Last Dinner Party live, pay tribute to the Grad Club that has announced its closure, dealing another major blow to Kingston's live music scene. (PS I Love You's iconic music video for 'Get Over' was in fact shot there... and at CFRC!) We remember some beloved shows there - Death From Above 1979, Arcade Fire, The Tragically Hip (before my time). Here's the article I mentioned in the show that I wrote for Sounds Live! Magazine when the BLU Martini shut in 2024. You've no doubt heard about Geese's "psyop" to reach fans online. What does marketing look like in the age of social media? (I'm not clickbaiting, you can guess what my thoughts on this are, but listen on anyway because I got Things to say.) Music by

The Charlatans, Skindred, Jessie Ware, Man/Woman/Chainsaw, LIFE, Nxdia, The Last Dinner Party, Florence Road, Tooth, unpeople, The Astros (one of my favourite Grad Club shows), Evan Jackson (my last Grad Club show), Dry Cleaning (in Canada this week), Rosellas, Sons of Rick.

Sorry about my throat. I'm gonna say I lost my voice at shows last week, because that's cooler to say.

Gurriers Interview!

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 11:00:00 GMT

To call Dublin post punk five-piece band Gurriers "outspoken" could refer to a few things. They are unapologetic in their lyrics, hitting home on themes ranging from hypocricy to nihilism, extreme rhetoric, online abuse and desensitisation. Musically, they make you sit up and listen. Their live shows are electrifying, loud and alive. And they practice what they preach, having led the entire contingent of Irish artists at SXSW to pull out of the festival in protest of its sponsorship by the US army amidst its funding of genocide in Palestine and the Middle East in 2024.

I caught up with bassist Charlie McCarthy and Pierce O'Callaghan, bassist and drummer in the Gurriers to talk all about their debut album ‘Come and See’ (2024), and other things like rafter athletics, empathetic punk rock, SXSW and the surprising role Deftones and cat pictures played in the Gurriers origin story.

It was a pleasure chatting with Charlie and Pierce! I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did. Find their debut album on their Bandcamp page.

This interview was recorded just before Gurriers’ excellent debut headline Canadian show at The Garrison in Toronto last month. Thank you to the Lakeview Diner for having us!

Festival season is here! As week 1 of Coachella 2026 comes to a close, we look back at some of our favourite performances at the festival by UK and Irish artists (and Geese, because turns out I'm like that), talk about the significance of Justin Bieber's return to music at Coachella (aka Bieberchella, which as a Canadian show we feel compelled to discuss), and the incredible Dublin post punks Gurriers join us for an interview! We'd recorded this before their show at the Garrison in Toronto in March.

Music this week by The xx, Blood Orange, Holly Humberstone, NewDad, CMAT, Geese (doing Bieberchella!?), Gurriers.

Live Session: Mad Iris @ Wavelength festival!

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 11:00:00 GMT

Toronto shoegaze 5 piece band Mad Iris bring together harsh, loud guitar noise, softer, intimate sounds, both screams and whispers, while evoking a certain hazy, nostalgic 90s image that brings to mind artists like Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine. They also have a unique sound through layering up 3 guitars, all adding something new. We caught up with the band at Wavelength Festival 2026, where they performed at St. Anne's Parish, for a quick chat and live session ahead of the release of their self-titled debut album.

Songs played in this session: 1. Blackjack 2. Silver Nails, 3. Daisy, Don't Take My Baby.

Live Session: Truck Violence!

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 11:00:00 GMT

This week, we are joined in session by the Montreal-based four-piece punk band Truck Violence! Truck Violence go beyond the confines of punk: drawing on influences from back home in Alberta, where vocalist Karsyn Henderson and guitarist Paul Lecours are from, the band paint visit pictures of life in the prairies with both their music and words, centred around Karsyn’s captivating poetry. Musically, they occasionally draw on country music, even featuring the banjo.

The band joined us before their set at The Handlebar in Toronto to talk art, poetry, authenticity, Alberta and their 2024 debut album Violence. You will also hear 3 songs performed at that show: 1. Undressed you layn't before 2. Lecture 3. Guns buried in the front yard.

Unfortunately, the only place we could record this interview was outdoors, so I apologise for the occasional street noises and jackets rustling. EQ can do a lot but it's not magic! And thank you to the band for braving -10ºC weather to chat poetry with me for 20 minutes.

They draw you into their immersive musical world of complex, sometimes heavily contrasting themes: simple joy and catharsis rides atop intricate instrumental arrangements and time signatures, softer sounds build up to climactic crescendos, placeably Gen Z themes are sung over timeless music, as 300 of us descended into a hot, hot Garrison on the coldest day of the year so far.

I went down to the Garrison with Toronto photographer Owen Forbes, friend of the show and occasional fellow-concert reviewer, on Tuesday, 20 January to catch an exceptional set by Racing Mount Pleasant. Here's what we thought of it.

Yellow Brit Road: Geese live in Toronto!

Sun, 04 Jan 2026 02:14:32 GMT

One of 2025's most hotly tipped bands had to be NYC indie rock four-piece Geese. With some iconic performances leading up to the anticipated release of their third album Getting Killed, Geese's arrival at Toronto's Opera House this October was a sold-out, hyped affair, supported by Michigan post rock outfit Racing Mount Pleasant. Photographer and friend of the show Owen and I put our journalistic hats on at the show and returned with a review of the entire evening.

Yellow Brit Road: Sorry interview!

Thu, 18 Dec 2025 12:00:00 GMT

London band Sorry have never cared to be defined by labels. Crafting their own unique sound over almost a decade, combining indie rock, industrial sounds, hazy bedroom pop, guitar riffs, poetry and the occasional tongue-in-cheek tune, the band are back with a new album and its as Sorry as it gets. It’s also their most cohesive work to date, and we caught up with them backstage at The Garrison before their show in Toronto last week to chat all about it.

I spoke with the creative partnership behind Sorry, Asha Lorenz and Louis O'Bryen, about the new album Cosplay, their writing, recording, opening for Fontaines in arenas last year, and Sorry's current tour across North America.

Yellow Brit Road 23 November 2023: In Tribute to Mani

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 12:00:00 GMT

This week's show is all in tribute to Madchester legend, acid house and pioneering bassist Gary 'Mani' Mounfield of the Stone Roses and Primal Scream, and the way he changed British music forever, bringing his elements of dance, rave and neo-psychedelic basslines to indie music. Mani forever.

Albums we heard music from: The Stone Roses (1989 self-titled debut album), XTRMNTR (2000), Evil Heat (2002) and various early Stone Roses singles and remastered live performances that can mostly be found on the deluxe version of the debut album. Also worth checking out from the second album Second Coming is the song Love Spreads. RIP to a genuine British music great and a true Mancunian. 🍋

Yellow Brit Road: Jasmine.4.T. Interview!

Tue, 30 Sep 2025 12:00:00 GMT

This week on the Yellow Brit Road, I caught up with Jasmine.4.T outside the Baby G in Toronto, the venue of the first show of her first North American headline ‘Tranarchy’ tour! We talked musical influences, Manchester, trans joy, solidarity, her debut album You Are The Morning and how signing to Phoebe Bridgers' Saddest Factory label "changed her life" (Lucy Dacus' words, not mine!). This was a fascinating interview and I'm grateful to Jasmine for her time and thoughful answers. On radio, we broadcast a slightly shortened version of this recording for time, here it is in full.

Songs played on the show: Elephant, Woman.

The site Jasmine mentions where you can donate to Yulia's cause is freeyulia.com.

DC Dolls interview!

Thu, 17 Jul 2025 12:00:00 GMT

DC Dolls have been creating a buzz in Dublin's music scene for a couple of years now. With battle of the bands, a slot at Electric Picnic festival, a debut EP featuring songs about prominent figures in feminist history and a fierce sense of community, it was only inevitable that the Irish punk rockers would start making waves. Back from a semi-hatus to finish off their school exams, the five piece return with a new single, Blame Me, and lead guitarist Abi Rafter drops by the Yellow Brit Road to talk all about their new music plans for the year, and the journey so far!

Yellow Brit Road 28 October 2024: New rock picks, Arkells interview

Tue, 29 Oct 2024 14:00:12 GMT

Note: Due to an error with the archiving on our end at the station, this week's show was not archived and the recording is lost, which is a shame because I thought this week's show went quite well. In summary, new artists and tunes were played, also I'm in the UK next week and so the shows will be prerecorded for some time. I'm still posting the playlist here so you can find the bands, but the audio is gone, sorry. To make up for it, here's my interview with Arkells from last week.

This week's show was rockier and heavier; as a massive rocker in my teens, I don't mind that! New releases, recapping notable Kingston shows of the week as we lead into a week of Halloween shows. Music by:

Calva Louise, Razorlight, The Wood Burning Savages, BXKS, swim school, Virgins, JD Cliffe, Adore, Poppy Ajudha, TRAITS, Alffa, Dream Wife, The Great Leslie, Michael Kiwanuka, Gondolas, Flat Party, Girlband!, Kokoroko.

Wed, 23 Oct 2024 14:00:20 GMT

Fair warning there is some chatter and discussion this week! As I headed off to see The The in Montreal, I, with the help of some guests, brought you a show reflecting on larger musical culture.

Adam joined me as a guest to revive an old and much loved feature, Meet Me In The Mic Room, our favourite little look back at the 00s indie scene, and we discussed the face of UK indie sleaze: The Libertines, with only a healthy dose of chat about 00s music, fashion, magazines and culture, and what the Libertines meant to it all. Music this week by

One Direction, Nubiyan Twist, corto.alto, The Subways, Primal Scream, Courting, SPRINTS, Charli xcx, Julian Casablancas, Lambrini Girls, DITZ, Sorry, The Libertines.

Bonus episode! I was asked to sit in on CFRC Radio's new music show, This Just In! on Thursday, 6 June at 10 AM.

I picked out some of my favourite recent releases you may be unfamiliar with, and artists playing North by North East festival in Toronto next weekend. Coming for you in this playlist: indie, pop, hip hop, punk, rock music so cool you need to wear shades to listen to it (context for the cover art).

Also, apologies for the first link of the show, I had the wrong mic on in the studio, so what you hear is what the mic could pick up of me from across the room.

Artists played: Sofiacide, Ballsy, shef's kiss, Tiny Horse, charlieeee, Luscious, Perennial, Tapir!, Pet Shop Boys, TOBi, 4sante, The Anti-Queens, Gurriers, Brògeal, Täbï Yösha

Here's the full interview! Sean Murphy O'Neil is the singer and guitarist in one of Liverpool's most exciting new bands, Courting.

Kiwi Jr. drop by Kingston! (interview)

Thu, 18 Jan 2024 23:01:34 GMT

If there's one band who have had a gigantic year, it's got to be Toronto indie rock band Kiwi jr.! After releasing their third album Chopper in August 2022, the band have spent the last 18 months touring Europe and North America, opening for bands (and their personal heroes) like Pavement, Dinosaur jr., Sloan, Guided By Voices, and so many more. And now they drop by Kingston for a date at the Grad Club, Friday night, supported by Queen's student band Girldad.

I spoke to singer and guitarist Jeremy this week for CFRC's Indie Wakeup Call (where you can find me on a Thursday morning on campus with some lovely cohosts), listen on to hear us talk all about that show and Kiwi jr.'s incredible year, and come to the show tomorrow! You bet I'll be there!

Yellow Brit Road 29 October 2023: Halloween show!

Tue, 21 Nov 2023 15:00:00 GMT

I'm alive! And kicking, if slightly hard against the weight of uni assignments worth 35%. But here's this year's Halloween show, where we took listener requests for Halloween-themed (and adjacent) music, paid tribute to Angelo Bruschini, the pioneering late guitarist of the leading triphop 90s Bristol band Massive Attack, discussed Kingston's weekend of Halloween music, and even had a live phone report from the Queen's Music Club's battle of the bands at the Mansion!

Yellow Brit Road 24 September 2023: Muse Absolution

Mon, 09 Oct 2023 02:02:54 GMT

This week's show is a listening party to mark 20 years of an astounding piece of art in the British music canon of the 21st century: Muse's 3rd studio album Absolution (2003). An album with an expansive and career-defining sound that launched Muse worldwide as a force to be reckoned with in rock music in the modern age, even while the album itself is hard to cage into a single genre: classical orchestral strings, Rachmaninoff-esque Romantic pianos, existential themes and the heaviest basses you've ever heard meld together into a fine work of art on one of Muse's finest albums. Grab your copy of the album and join my guest Vita and I as we redefine our experience of music. You won't want to miss this one.

Yellow Brit Road 13 August 2023: Modern Hip Hop in the UK and Ireland

Tue, 15 Aug 2023 14:00:45 GMT

This week marks the 50-year anniversary of the birth of hip-hop, far away in Bronx in NY, USA. It has since grown in legitimacy to become one of the most popular genres of music around the world. So what's happening right now in the UK and Ireland? We dove into the modern UK and Irish hip hop scenes, looking at some of the unique subgenres hip hop has spawned through collaborations and shared influences, from grime, UK drill, neo-jazz drawing from jazz and RnB particularly in London, grime-punk, etc. We also looked at Welsh and Irish hip hop.

No better way than to honour his legacy than by bringing out the vinyls the band sent to our station in the 1980s, to listen to his fine bass work as it was recorded and intended to be heard. We brought out some CDs sent to us by Iceage as well (for the story behind that, you're going to want to listen to the show!) Plus, Spring Reverb previews!

Yellow Brit Road 7 May 2023: The 80s and 90s Welsh Miwsig Scene (Y Sîn Roc Gymraeg Yn Yr 80au A 90au)

Tue, 09 May 2023 14:00:10 GMT

This week, a show I've wanted to do for three whole years: a dive into the Welsh language music scenes in the 80s and 90s! We covered the Welsh alt and rock scenes of the 80s and 90s, ⁠y sîn roc⁠ (ac alternatif) Gymraeg, the Cool Cymru movement of the 90s, and basically played some of my favourite bands ever.

To make it easier to find the bands, ⁠this week's playlist⁠ is a YouTube playlist, with additional videos thrown in for you to actually see the bands played. I've linked to Discogs where no band website, etc. is available, should you want to find more of their work yourself (this will become standard for our setlists from now!). Setlist:

Yellow Brit Road 4 December 2022: Solid Gold

Tue, 06 Dec 2022 15:00:47 GMT

Another album listening party this week! Carrying on from last week's theme of pub rock, we turned to the post punk it helped spawn in the 1980s with one of the great English post punk bands, Gang of Four. Blending academic theory, liberal thought and philosophy, musical techniques borrowed from film, advertisement, slogans, and an undeniably catchy brand of dance punk, we listen to the forward-thinking Leeds four piece's second album, 1981's Solid Gold.

Interview Snippet: The Speed of Sound

Mon, 27 Sep 2021 14:00:54 GMT

Manchester indie rock band The Speed of Sound have been around for a long time, and know the indie scene well. They're making their dent on it once again by releasing their fifth studio album, Museum of Tomorrow, on 17 September 2021. The album orbits indie but reaches out to include diverse influences including New Wave, synth rock, jazz, pop, art rock, amongst others, and is a fantastic listen. I caught up with John Armstrong, songwriter and guitarist in the band, to talk about the album, the independent scene, radio, music, and so much more.

Here's a little teaser of what's to come.

Tue, 29 Jun 2021 14:00:13 GMT

This week on the Yellow Brit Road, we paid tribute to Datblygu frontman and Welsh music pioneer David R Edwards. Datblygu's first three albums, Wyau, Pyst and Libertino are must-listens. Dave did some English-language work under the name Dave Datblygu that you can find here.

Continuing our exploration of queer music history, we explored various queer musical subgenres that emerged during the 1990s. The show this week was

In case anyone wanted it, here are the lyrics to Datblygu's song Y Teimlad, along with an English translation.

Y teimlad sy'n hala pobol i anghofio amser 

Y teimlad sy'n haloch chi i feddwl nad yw'r dyfodol mor fler 

Y teimlad sydd yn dod a cyn sbarduno gobaith 

Ti'n gweld y tywod llwch ond ti'n gweld fod yno flodau

Y teimlad, beth yw'r teimlad? 

Y teimlad sydd heb esboniad 

Y teimlad, beth yw'r teimlad? 

Y teimlad sy'n cael ei alw'n gariad

 Cariad, cariad, y teimlad

Mae hapusrwydd yn codi ac yn troi yn wir rhywbryd 

Ac mae'n dangos fod yno rhywbeth mewn hyd yn oed dim byd 

A pan mae'r teimlad yno mae bywyd yn werth parhau

 Ond yn ei absenoldeb mae'r diweddglo yn agosau

Y teimlad, beth yw y teimlad? 

Y teimlad, sydd heb esboniad? 

Y teimlad, beth yw y teimlad? 

Y teimlad, sy'n cael ei alw'n gariad

---------

The feeling that makes people forget time 

The feeling that makes you think the future isn't so bad

 The feeling that comes before sparking off hope 

You see the sand dust but you see that there's flowers

 The feeling, what is the feeling?

 The feeling that's inexplicable 

The feeling, what is the feeling? 

The feeling that is called love 

Love, love, the feeling

 Happiness rises and turns true sometimes 

And it shows that there's something even in nothing 

And when the feeling is there, life is worth continuing 

But in its absence the end approaches

 The feeling, what is the feeling? 

The feeling, which is inexplicable?

 The feeling, what is the feeling?

 The feeling that is called love

R.I.P. Dave Datblygu

Power pop royalty decided to walk down the Yellow Brit Road with me this week, as I got the opportunity to have an in-depth chat with Finnish Grammy winning artists Arto Tamminen and Janne Haavisto, collectively one half of the pop rock band The Bablers, whose much-awaiting album Psychadilly Circus comes out on 29 May (that's right, it's not out yet, so we were able to get a sneak peek on radio!)

They talked to me about the band, beginnings and reunions, the live music scene of the Finnish '80s, about the making of this album, their career, life, philosophies, and about all the lovely songs on this record.

Tue, 19 Jan 2021 15:00:34 GMT

On this week's Yellow Brit Road, we basically just missed festivals. Yeah, those open mud pits where you get icky, no showers, overpriced everything, too much music to sanely choose from (especially when two of your favourite bands are playing right across from each other), and a 27-hour drive home... we miss them. Any live music, really.

Yellow Brit Road, 13 December 2020: Indie, Fuzz, And The Coolest Village In Austria

Tue, 15 Dec 2020 15:00:57 GMT

This week on the Yellow Brit Road, we've been testing the very limits of what's possible (and permissible) on radio! It's only healthy to keep radio on its feet every now and then... with great music!

Featuring the bands Black Honey, Death Cult Electric, This Becomes Us, Superfood, Reuben James, Slum of Legs, Those F*cking Snowflakes, F*ckshovel, Sweaty Palms, Dear Boy, and Curling, besides classics Queen and Vixen.

We explored a tiny little village in Austria soon to undergo a name change on account of people stealing their signposts... now look, technically, this episode is not explicit by all definitions of what it means for a show to be explicit. However, if you'd rather your children not know that there's the coolest little village in Austria called Fucking, you might want them to sit this one out (or at least, one section of the show). Other than that, as always, Yellow Brit Road, good fun for the whole family!

This week's show featured the wonderful artists, Scottish rockers Black Cart, London-based indie songstress Connie Constance, Mancunian dance-funkers Porij, Liverpool garage rock trio Oya Paya (who reminded me in part of Jet in a good way... where are Jet these days?), Irish rock duo We Cut Corners, Lancastrian punks TV Face, Edinburg punks Treason of the Monarchy, Briitish Barbadian RnB musician RoRo and Manchester based singer Pip Millett!

Masala chai this week was sipped in the thrilling company of Kingston-based The Astros, Toronto hard rockers PONY and Eiffel frontman Romain Humeau.

Yellow Brit Road, 26 July 2020

Thu, 15 Oct 2020 20:51:47 GMT

This week on the Yellow Brit Road, lost tapes, Cardiacs, rock and poetry!

We had old-new music from the Rolling Stones, aided by Mick Jagger having some extra time on his hands to dig through the archives to find a lost cassette of a recording the band did with Jimmy Page, which manifested itself into a new release!

We also paid tribute to Tim Smith of Cardiacs. RIP.

This week's new music was from Dry Cleaning, The Hipshakes, Problem Patterns, Abjects, and a vivid poetry performance from spoken word artist George the Poet.

We surveyed the Two-Tone movement of the 80's, listened to the Specials, and had a new Gorillaz tune!

Masala Chai this was graciously provided by Australian synth punk band Kitchen People, NY-based Peel Dream Magazine and Toronto-based Kiwi Jr.

This week's playlist can be found here, and individual artists on their Bandcamps.

Yellow Brit Road, 4 October 2020: Acoustics, Loud Girls, Satanic Experiences and Ukuleles

Tue, 06 Oct 2020 14:00:42 GMT

This week on the Yellow Brit Road, acoustic performances, loud girls, Satanic experiences and ukuleles!

We started off with acoustic performances from Muse's Matt Bellamy, covering Simon and Garfunkel's moving Bridge Over Troubled Water, only to have a live performance from the OGs from way back in 1967.

New music on this week's show, Yorkshire band Guru, Bristolian trio Svalbard, and a compilation album released by Nottingham-based Punk 4 the Homeless, which can be found on Bandcamp.

This week brought back our favourite music journalism feature, and it was a cracker indeed.

Masala Chai this week was brought direct to your ears by Brazilian duo Overdrive Duo, belting out a spectacular cover of AC/DC's Thunderstruck on ukuleles, and Born Ruffians, who have a new album called Squeeze.

Yellow Brit Road, 20 September 2020: New Indie, Martian Fallacies And Those Big Gay Hands.

Tue, 29 Sep 2020 14:00:57 GMT

This week on the Yellow Brit Road, new indie, Martian fallacies, and those big gay hands.

We opened this week with Joni Mitchell's dive through the archives. She released a radio performance of her covering "House Of The Rising Sun" at the CFQC AM Radio Station in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada in 1963 - the earliest known recording of Joni Mitchell.

Our second song, David Bowie's Life on Mars? prompted an investigation into the state of extraterrestrial exploration—and its latest advancement, the discovery of life on Venus! ...or is it?

We had new music from Supercolour, Newmaj, Rhys E, The Loft Club, TV Face, Dream Nails, Slap Rash and Denise Chaila. Find all these artists online (linked above) and give them some love!

Exciting news, this month has been the return of Britpop-era band the Doves! We a track from them.

Our masala chai for the week was freshly brewed with local water... new music from PUP (who have a new EP out next month) and Partner (album out November)!

Yellow Brit Road, 2 August 2020: Oasis

Tue, 15 Sep 2020 15:00:31 GMT

This week on the Yellow Brit Road, we had another album listen!

Oasis' stellar debut album Definitely Maybe turns 25 this August, and for that and many other reasons, it is an album that deserves a revisit. We talked a bit about the recording process and the history surrounding the album, and listened to stone cold classic sounds.

Definitely Maybe a good show!

Yellow Brit Road, 6 September 2020: Decolonise Fest, Live Music, Peel Sessions and more!

Thu, 10 Sep 2020 15:00:18 GMT

This week on the Yellow Brit Road, Decolonise fest, live music, Peel sessions and more!

We heard new albums from Jehnny Beth and the Fratellis, whose album Half Drunk Under A Full Moon is out in October.

Decolonise Fest, a music festival in London "by and for punks of colour", ran its 2020 edition online with performances that can be found on their Twitter and Bandcamp. We listened to DeLila Black, who played the festival this year, and from 2017, Art Trip and the Static Sound's unique afropunk sounds, and London pop punk feminist trio The Tuts.

We had some live music from British multi-instrumentalist Georgia, performing at SXSW festival in 2019, and digging through the archives for some classic John Peel sessions from the 90s by PJ Harvey and Mogwai.

We had dance folk from Scottish singer-songwriter Gerry Cinnamon, post-punk music from Northern Irish band Gender Chores, and a submission from Sunderland's Brass Monkey! Submissions can be sent in to yellowbritroad@gmail.com or through Twitter to @YellowBritCFRC

This week's Masala Chai was graciously provided by Mozambique's influential alternative band 340ml, and Kingston's very own The Wilderness. Listen to the Kingston Live! podcast on kingstonlive.ca.

Yellow Brit Road, 30 August 2020: Reading Festival

Thu, 03 Sep 2020 15:00:41 GMT

This week was August bank holiday weekend, which means ordinarily, it should have been the weekend that the Reading and Leeds festival, one of the longest running and largest music festivals in the world, took place.

While the physical festival was called off for 2020 owing to health concerns over COVID-19, the Yellow Brit Road managed to secure passes to a very special edition of the festival: one that let us go back through the years and relive the best of live music at Richfield Avenue, Reading (and Bramham Park, Leeds)!

We experienced some of the best the festival has to offer over the past years, or as much as we could in a single hour. We jumped into the crowd for enthralling performances and walked into some of the strangest interviews from the weekend. From Penetration and Sham 69 in the 70s, all the way to the Marsicans, Kid Kapichi, LION and Kofi Stone in 2019; from Slaves in the Pit to Wolf Alice, CHVRCHES and Bloc Party on the NME and Festival stages, we went over everything in time to catch our personal weekend's headliners: Arctic Monkeys, Rage Against the Machine, and Muse. Call that a weekend?

Watch the performances again here!

What does John Reith sound like?

Tue, 01 Sep 2020 15:00:36 GMT

John Reith, the famously uptight director of the BBC in the 1930's, took it upon himself to be the upholder of Britain's morality as director of the nation's airwaves. As we heard in the Lancashire episode from earlier, Lancastrian actor, comedian and musician George Formby often fell afoul of the BBC's standards under Reith with his cheeky and playful lyrics.

In time, the often unreasonable principles to which mostly harmless creative content was held, has come to be referred to as Reithianism. So, what does the defender of British decency sound like?

In this outtake from the show, talking about Reith's reaction to Formby's hit The Window Cleaner, I took a stab in the dark at what the redeemer of rectitude might sound like, ultimately failing miserably. As a quick Google search went on to show, this is really what John Reith sounded like.

An attempt was made!

Yellow Brit Road, 19 July 2020: Hunky Dory

Fri, 28 Aug 2020 14:00:57 GMT

This week's Yellow Brit Road follows the rise of the Thin White Duke, in our first-ever album listen!

We listened to David Bowie's seminal art-pop album, Hunky Dory. Cutting a portrait of a young Bowie in 1971, on the brink of stardom, a year before 1972's Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars catapulted him firmly into the public eye, Hunky Dory gives us a glimpse of Bowie setting out his plans in stone, still figuring his persona out.

We talk about the circumstances of the album, as well as its lasting impact and legacy.

Yellow Brit Road, 23 August 2020: Lancashire

Tue, 25 Aug 2020 14:00:24 GMT

This week, we followed the Yellow Brit Road all the way up to the north of England, to the county of Lancashire. Between old music, local dialect, accent, culture (and chips) and poetry, this was possibly the most fun show I've ever done, and I hope you enjoy it too!

The artists played this week were Lancashire folk bands The Houghton Weavers, Oldham Tinkers, Lancastrian actor, comedian and musician George Formby, Lancaster based 90's feminist punk band Angelica (whose lead singer Holly Ross now plays in psychedelic punk duo The Lovely Eggs), and new bands TV Face, and Ivy from Preston.

The dialect poem read on the show was Eawr Sarah's Getten A Chap, by Sam Fitton. The Oldham Tinkers set the poem to music, which can be heard here.

This week's Masala Chai artist was Young Guv, the pop rock project of singer-guitarist Ben Cook, better known as lead vocalist for Canadian hardcore bands No Warning and F*cked Up. His song Cold In The Summer can be heard here.

This week's (mostly complete) playlist can be found here.

Yellow Brit Road, 16 August 2020

Tue, 18 Aug 2020 23:00:51 GMT

This week on the Yellow Brit Road, we dive through new music and old, discuss guitaring faux pas, and talk about identity.

We opened with a solid set by Siouxie and the Banshees, and in a curveball for this show, American singer Andy Williams. His version of Can't Take My Eyes Off You can be heard here, and Muse's jazz cover for a BBC performance in 2002, here.

Rock music is not dead, and this show will testify to that! We heard indie music from Gaffa Tape Sandy, Beach Riot, SuperGlu, Billy Nomates, Big Joanie, and Ailbhe Reddy. Billy Nomates' debut album releases in August.

We had some math rock from Clever Girl, an album recorded globally on tour by Delta Sleep, and pop excess (excuse the pun) from Rina Sawayama (with her song XS), who the Mercury Prize deemed "not British enough" on passport grounds, in spite of being one of Britain's most exciting young pop musicians. The podcast discussed in the show, United Zingdom, by journalist Zing Tsing, can be heard here.

This week's Masala Chai was straight from Toronto, Canada and featured a dash of lime as we listened to the Seams' sublime Lemonade and Partner's Hello and Welcome. Their album Never Give Up releases in November.

Yellow Brit Road, 12 July 2020: Brighton, Rock, And The Great Canadian Obsession

Fri, 14 Aug 2020 13:54:57 GMT

This week on the Yellow Brit Road, history, geography and modern rock epiphanies!

We looked at the history of Canadian music's obsession with British bands during the British Invasion and the height of Beatlemania, particularly the interesting story of 60's Winnipeg rockers the Guess Who?

Bringing in the fast-paced bangers, we played the latest synth rock single from Percy, whose catalogue can be found on Ten Foot Records, Derry City's rocking Wood Burning Savages, explosive Norwich punks from the 2010s Fever Fever, a new lo-fi indie bop from Ginger Snaps (whose music can be listened to here), and London spoken word artist MOAK's take on the lockdown.

Janglepop and post-punk/new wave fans are in for a treat on this show as we had a mini-set of some of the best new janglepop bands from around, Leeds' Team Picture, London band E's and Fontaines D.C.

We had a Brighton set featuring 2020 Mercury Prize nominated Porridge Radio, Jetstream Pony, and the gender and genre bending synthpop band Powder Paint.

This week's Masala Chai section features the rich and vibrant tones of Toronto's very own Latina-indie pop artist Lido Pimienta's latest album, Miss Columbia.

Yellow Brit Road, 9 August 2020: Streaming, Chart Battles, Live Performances

Mon, 10 Aug 2020 19:20:34 GMT

This week, the Yellow Brit Road trekked down the paths of the current and happening in the world of music, both in the UK and globally. We listened to some classic bands and music, discussed the trends and workings of music streaming, cheered on an emerging charts battle with a front view, and sipped some masala chai from Montreal.

We heard some classic Led Zeppelin and the last EP from Gang of Four, Anti Hero. We listened to some studio and live performances by singer-songwriter L.A. Salami from London. His full performance at NPR Music's Tiny Desk Concert can be watched here (bless visual media!), and his music can be purchased on his Bandcamp here.

We discussed the inner workings of music streaming platforms to the best of public knowledge about them, and why in a gig-less world of quarantine, social distancing and livestreaming, the meagre amount musicians are able to make from their music itself has to increase and why Spotify CEO Daniel Ek's comments to MusicAlly in interview this week are especially tone deaf and unrealistic.

Find out more about Tom Gray and the #BrokenRecord movement on Twitter here. A few others advocating for change include #FixStreaming and more generally, #KeepMusicAlive.

The UK and Irish music charts had a flurry of artists up for top spot by mid-week, and both ended in close finishes. We sampled the indie ware off the Irish charts with music from No. 1 and 2 spots, The Coronas and Fontaines D.C., who finished second.

Fontaines D.C.'s MTV performance, featuring Grian Chatten singing in a field, can be found here.

This week's Masala Chai features Montreal-based indie/folkpop artist Thanya Iyer.

Yellow Brit Road, 5 July 2020: Chillwave, Glastonbury

Mon, 03 Aug 2020 22:05:47 GMT

This week on the Yellow Brit Road, we took our foot off the pedal and coasted down the chill road. No good taste was harmed or compromised during the recording of this show, with our mixtape (can we a call a playlist that?) featuring the likes of Good Dog from Glasgow, Gorillaz, John and Jehn, Courting, Muse, Shingai, a brilliant cover by acclaimed guitarist Antoine Dufour.

We also celebrated our own stripped-down little version of Glastonbury festival, which was slated to happen the past weekend had everything been normal, with some artists who had a strong start on the BBC Introducing stage! We played Gaffa Tape Sandy, Palm Honey and Arlo Parks.

Gaffa Tape Sandy's Glastonbury BBC Introducing performance can be found on their Bandcamp here.

This week's masala chai, this show's regular feature where we play music from outside the UK, was more of a honied tea, keeping with the chillwave theme. We played Atlanta, GA's Night Beach, Travis Bretzer from Edmonton, Tokyo based delightful dreampop band Cattle, and France's janglepop band Pale Spectres.

Come for the pun, stay for the music. CFRC's Yellow Brit Road brings you your weekly fix of British music every Sunday evening at 8 PM. We talk British music, and its rich and exciting history, and then some!

Listen live on your dial at 101.9 FM in the Kingston area, or on cfrc.ca, Sundays 8 to 9 PM! (Full shows are available in the archive for 3 months from release)

Just a quick note, many of these artists have profiles on Bandcamp, one of the leading sites working to ensure artists get paid fairly for the music they make that is getting us through lockdown. With live gigs, one of their only sources of income, being largely out of question for the year, do consider buying their music and merchandise from there if you can instead of streaming, which has a very disadvantaged payout particularly for smaller, independent artists, who are the backbone of an indie show on a community radio station like ours, without whom this show could not exist.

John and Jehn's And We Run can be heard here. As an added bonus, here's a lovely acoustic session the band performed in 2010 for Soup Kitchen.

Thu, 30 Jul 2020 22:57:50 GMT

This week, the Yellow Brit Road lead to a rainbow (with the pot of gold at the end and everything intact) as we celebrated Pride month. We revelled in the music of LGBTQ+ artists, sang along to Tom Robinson's national queer anthem from 1978 because we're Glad To Be Gay, and celebrated younger artists breaking new ground in queer music, both in Britain and across the world.

Featuring David Bowie, Tom Robinson, Pillow Queens, Dream Nails, Petrol Girls, Problem Patterns, Antony and the Johnsons, Noisettes, Readers Wifes, Blur, Pansy Division, and Rufus Wainwright, the explosive playlist for this week can be found here!
