Always awesome, always energetic, always a trip. Mega informative too! Lights up any day or night. Get into the now of today and yesterday subterranean sounds with Jay!
More palatable in a single sesh than Maximum Rock and Roll tho.
Also it’s more like a real radio show.
Just wish they would play pup and direct hit!!!
SIIIIIIIIIKE!!
Keep up the tolerable work!
Love this 'podcast', it's like the radio show I wish existed here in the UK. Dozens of bands and songs completely new to me, some amazing, some terrible, but all trying to do something interesting. I just wish more were available on CD or record, rather than tape!
Keep up the great work 'Jay and the gang'!
great stuff, wish there were more underground rock podcasts. thank you.
Fantastic radio station, especially for obscure rock n roll/punk, old and new. Happy to see the show branching out a bit in recent episodes, playing artists like Julie Byrne and Daniel Bachman. Great stuff.
