On the show this time, it’s the fresh original rock of English band Black Country, New Road.

The London based group make delightful music, catchy but unpredictable, poppy - but with elements of classical music, cinematic scores, jazz, choral music, show tunes, and heavy rock. And that’s kind of selling them short. They play music. Anything is on the table. Their latest is called Forever Howlong and it is available on Ninja Tune Records.

Recorded May 26, 2025

1. Besties
2. For The Cold Country 
3. Happy Birthday 
4. Forever Howlong
