Loving, listening, creating and playing music is what we do for a living. But no one can listen to everything...or can they?

Some people say the album format is dead but that hasn't

August 21, 2025 Recommended Listening: Paranoid by Black Sabbath
We've reconvened after a short break to let Billy climb an actual (not metaphorical) mountain and a lot happened while we had a little rest - not least of which was the sad passing of Ozzie Osbourne, just a matter of days after the celebratory final Black Sabbath gig. We'd already decided it was time we investigated the fathers of Heavy Rock and fair to sat neither of us really knew what we were getting in to.

Thankfully and fortuitously our rambling was interrupted by an actual lifelong Sabbath fan (and actual Brummie) in the form of our resident expert singing teacher Loz.

And Martin forgot how microphones work, but I think we got away with it.

July 31, 2025 Recommended Listening: Live Through This - with Vûlva
On the show this week Martin is joined by Kiera and Lilly from Hertfordshire based band Vülva, who made a huge impact with our punters and the performers when they opened our Apollo Presents show in June.
We discuss the second album from Hole - the influence of Courtney Love and other female role models, plus why we think bands will be around for a long time into the future.

July 10, 2025 Deftones, Glasto, Sabbath and Oasis - What's the Story!
It's been a while since Billy and Martin caught up for a chat. Turns out there was so much we needed to defer album chat for another day. Billy's been travelling to real life gigs, Marin has been watching the telly and reading the reviews. What did you think of the first big music weekend of the summer? We didn't even mention Iron Maiden!

July 03, 2025 Recommended Listening: Voodoo by D'Angelo - with Eponine
This week Martin is joined in Room 1 at a busy and a little noisy Apollo Audio by local R&B artist Eponine.

Voodoo is the second studio album by the American singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist D'Angelo, released on January 25, 2000. Voodoo (2000), debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 and continued to receive critical acclaim. The album's lead single "Untitled (How Does It Feel)", earned him the Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance; likewise, Voodoo won Best R&B Album. Rolling Stone ranked the album number 28 on its list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time (remember that?) calling it "an album heavy on bass and drenched in a post-coital haze".

June 19, 2025 Recommended Listening: Standing on the Shoulder of Giants by Oasis
So we finally come to one of the biggest names in British rock of the last 30 years. We've covered quite a lot of 90's and early 2000's without really getting in the Britpop and these of course are the daddys when it comes to Cool Britannia. By 2000 however some of the shine had worn off, and history tends to list this particular album at the bottom of the pile when it comes to the Gallagher long players - but we are here to show it some love. Get on board the bus.

June 12, 2025 We've got an offering - Even in Arcadia
British "metal" band Sleep Token hit number one on the US album chart last month, and as we've spent a lot of time in the past we thought it would be fun to cover a current release. We might have regretted it.
