Wyrd Ways Rock Show

July rolls around and it's time for another edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show . One day I'll get this back onto at least a fortnightly schedule, but sadly that isn't this month.  You know how time gets away from you as life gets in the way?  This is one of those times. Anyway... loads of new music as usual, including material from the new, forthcoming Masterplan album, the new single by Kai Hanse...

Welcome to another edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show. Pride Month 2026 is upon us and we have a special shout to previous guests, Porcelain Victoria and Edie Montana for International Sex Worker's Day, which happened on the 2nd. As with every episode, The Wyrd Ways Rock Show focuses on bringing you the best new music from established bands like Armored Saint, Accept and Black Veil Brides and up-a...

Welcome back to another edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show. As you've come to expect we’ve got a sprawling playlist that wanders through the best of what’s new and noteworthy. We kick off with the classic Heavy Metal of Generation Steel and Armored Saint , then drift into the more melodic waters of Black Veil Brides and Holy Wars . The voyage (since we seem to have tapped into a nautical theme) co...

No interview this time on The Wyrd Ways Rock Show, which means the spotlight falls firmly on the music. This edition delivers a packed mix of heavy hitters and underground discoveries, from the intensity of Infected Rain to the classic Thrash of Exodus to the majesty of the undisputed Finnish Queen of Symphonic Metal Herself, Tarja Turunen. Collaborations add extra weight, with Stitched-Up Heart j...

Welcome to the latest edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show . As always, the focus remains on the music and the push to get diverse voices heard. The centrepiece of this show is an interview I did at SOS 2025 with young Manchester-based band, Dacara . Huge thanks to them for the chat. As is the tradition here, I handed them the keys to the playlist for a bit afterward. You’ll be hearing Nice Try and...

This one took a bit longer to put together than expected.  Honestly, I wanted to get it together a couple of weeks ago, but just didn't have the spoons. Anyway... As usual, The Wyrd Ways Rock Show is about new music and forcing a woke agenda down your throats.  So a lot of the bands have women in them.  With today, as I type this, being International Women's Day, I think that's kind of appropriate...

Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXXXVI features special guests Anika McRae (one of the head honchoes of City Of Counterculture) and John Marshall joining me in the studio... erm the room at work we recorded in for this edition.  Both of them are more than likely to make repeat appearances. As always, there’s a strong focus on new material and up-and-coming bands, but there's also some more experienced hands...

This edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show marks a new chapter for the show, with a fresh theme tune replacing Rat Salad. With Black Sabbath’s retirement and the passing of Ozzy Osbourne earlier this year, it felt like the right time to make the change and usher in something new for the show. In this edition, we’re diving into a solid mix of Trad, Symphonic, and Death Metal with a bit of Folk and Doo...

Okay, as you've probably noticed this edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show is running a little late. For those of you wondering where I’ve been, I’ve been dealing with some vision issues over the past few months. Things were getting pretty bad, to the point where I couldn’t read the screen on my computer properly and had to give up driving at night because I literally couldn’t see the end of the roa...

Hello and welcome to this week's edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show. This week's show, as well as all the usual brand spanking new music and interesting bands I've found while trawling social media, there's an interview with "the sex face of Burlesque" herself, originator of Stripknot (yes, you did read that correctly!), Trixie Blue.  I spoke to her about... hang on... why am I telling you?  Go li...
