Quality hit the airwaves again this week, as we had great music, music history and deep dives into journalism of yore!

We had music this week from CHVRCHES, Gorky's Zygotic Mynci (recommend, and I don't normally put my biases into the playlist descriptions), Public Practice from New York, Leeds punks Yard Act, psychedelic punk band Squid ft. Martha Skye Murphy; Oslo, Norway-based Pom Poko, Cultdreams from London (their guitar sound on the track we had on this week's show is the reason I fell in love with the sound of a guitar... the grit, the gravel, the grrrunge; drown me in sound!), rising star Arlo Parks, with her fantastic debut album, Royal Blood's latest, a throwback to some quality Muse piano space thrash.

Masala Chai submissions this week were New Jersey indie band Supermutt and French punks Sxndrxm, who release a new song next week!

On this week's Yellow Brit Road, we basically just missed festivals. Yeah, those open mud pits where you get icky, no showers, overpriced everything, too much music to sanely choose from (especially when two of your favourite bands are playing right across from each other), and a 27-hour drive home... we miss them. Any live music, really.

Artists on this week's show were Marcy Playground, Mogwai, Portishead, Alexandria Maillot, Deyah, Haviah Mighty, Jennah Barry, Lo! Peninsula, The Royston Club, Seazoo, Penny Mob, Shake Chain and Black Pumas.

This week on the Yellow Brit Road, Christmas cheer, Viral Queens and lots of great music!

We got into the holiday spirit listening to some great themed music... but with a sneering punk twist to them. We listened to music from Alice Bag, The Fall, post punk band Shame, 80s underground pop rock mavericks The Cleaners from Venus, female punks Child's Pose and Trash Kit, Welsh punks The La La Lettes, synthpop band Goat Girl, Bern, Switzerland-based disco outfit Da Cruz, young punks Revivalry and had some classic tunes from The White Stripes, Gruff Rhys and Liam Gallagher.

This week's Masala chai was courtesy the seabreeze indie of Matt Surfin' and Friends.

(In case anyone was wondering, the sleigh bells app is called Jingle+. Genius.)
