From established names or up-and-coming bands, across a multitude of subgenres, tracks on this show have 2 things in common: they rock and they’re tuneful. Singles this week range from FM, to Charon, to Bella Perron and Ginny Luke. Helloween and Wucan released LPs. Add to that some well-known hits for Anthrax and Journey (told you I had a wide-ranging remit).
