Yellow Brit Road

Oh, what didn't happen this week on the Yellow Brit Road? We've had tons of new releases from household names and rising stars (stat: this week was a 100% new music show. I know cuz I'm punctual with my logs). We had chat about colour schemes and autumn knitting (I'm loving your knitting tips, by the way!), we had fantastic submissions, and even a sneak peak of an upcoming interview on the show!

Remember to tune in to catch my interview with John Armstrong from Manchester underground veteran indie rock band The Speed of Sound this Thursday from 1-3 PM EST (6-8 PM BST) on CFRC! This week's setlist included,

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. Tune in to the Yellow Brit Road on Thursday, 30 September from 1 to 3 PM EST (6 to 8 PM BST) to catch the full interview along with an album play live on radio on CFRC 101.9 FM in Kingston, ON or at cfrc.ca, and watch out for the interview on the podcast feed.

I'm away this week! While I'm slowly making my way back to Canada, walking on air (literally), you can follow in my footsteps, and walk on air (figuratively) with this compilation of all the queer acts we played during Pride month. There's also a clip I saved especially for this that I hope you'll love as much as I did.

I'll be back next week live on air again, see you then!
