Crumbs. Facebook has just reminded me that Ultra Processed Punk, the Rediffusion’s most popular song, is ONE YEAR OLD!! Wish the synthy, crazy tale of mad cows, mad kids and aliens a happy birthday and give it a listen? open.spotify.com/track/0MRsFz...

Pete is a lovely guy and a passionate advocate for unsigned artists. His support of BR over the last 18 months has meant so much; a radio play and kind comments after all the hard work writing/recording/producing/marketing really does give you a lift. Thank you Pete! (1 of 2)

Threads is pretty lively for indie music chat these days!

Sounding a bit like a cross between Queen’s Radio Gaga and the Pet Shop Boys, why not give Former Glories ‘25 a listen if you want some retro 80’s vibes and ear-worm synths?

Track 7 on new album The Rediffusion Times!

#NewMusic for your Friday? How about another album deep dive? Misfits:Sounds ‘25 tells the tale of alt 80’s kids (“eyes as black as coal and lips all glossed up”) surviving Friday nights in a provincial town

Time for another Rediffusion Times deep dive. Track 7, Former Glories ‘25. 80’s vibe? Tick. Ear-worm synth? Tick. Story about a washed-up rock star? Tick!

A ghostly 80’s-tinged intro morphs into a rockier “You are history, you are legend, No Pasaran!” chorus.

Time for some more album deep dives. No Pasaran! was written in the early days of the Ukraine conflict & harked back to the volunteer brigades that fought the fascists in the Spanish civil war 🇺🇦🇺🇦 (1 of 2)

Track 10, ‘Are our Spooks electric?’, is a further Gwydion remix of Spooks ‘25, which appeared on the Haunted By Ghosts EP. Keyboard shimmers float above Gwydion’s gorgeous bass riff, and ghostly vocals fade in and out…. open.spotify.com/track/7aNDgf...
