Imagine your driveway, littered with snow. Imagine a shovel, a snowblower, a paid hand; what have you, doing a job and clearing the path for you. In today's day of sleigh bells a-strew, extra harmonies and motifs cluttering your way to interesting music, Yellow Brit Road is your shovel. Take our hand, and let us lead you to an hour of good new music.

...what am I even saying anymore.

Anyway! Good show this week, with music from

This week on the Yellow Brit Road, we're surviving finals season. Ergo a show full of energetic rock, pop punk and upbeat electro bangers to help us let out all that nervous energy (plus jazz. There's always jazz. You never need a reason for jazz.)

**A minor correction from the show: the band Slaves are back from hiatus and have changed their name to Soft Play. Show setlist:

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.

Grab a copy and listen along!

This week on Yellow Brit Road, we have an album listening party! Join me as we dive into London's pub rock scene in the early 1970s, a precursor to the explosion of punk rock in the late 1970s. We talk about its legacy, and listen to the debut album by one of the best bands of the era, Dr. Feelgood, "Down By The Jetty", in honour of their pioneering guitarist Wilko Johnson, who passed away this week.

Drop the needle on your copy of the album and listen along!

So much going on in this week's show, and to think this show might never have happened (your host screamed themselves hoarse at a Muse gig and has laryngitis now)*

We talk gigs, the economics of touring and the music industry, the Mercury Prize 2022, the CFRC Funding Drive, and tons of new releases including from

PPS: I am learning to phrase that better, because saying "I lost my voice at the Muse gig" has begun to garner looks of "oh well, can we help you find it?" which is not helpful when I can't speak!
