Wyrd Ways Rock Show

Welcome to what's probably the final Wyrd Ways Rock Show of 2024. Some of you will, no doubt, be glad to know there's no Christmas music in this week's show. As per usual, it's all new music. While I'm here, there's some people who need some help. Studio Sevvven in north London is at risk of closure because their local council don't like kinsksters, sex workers and queers having somewhere safe to...

CONTENT WARNING: THIS WEEK'S WYRD WAYS ROCK SHOW CONTAINS ADULT LANGUAGE AND TOPICS Running a bit late this week thanks to Apple Music being a c*nt. What do I mean by that? One of the tracks I wanted to play on the show is only available to buy via Apple Music. So I downloaded Apple Music, bought the track and tried to download it... but it turns out they won't let you do that. I've boug...

We're in the final month of 2024. From a personal standpoint, it's not been a good year. From a musical standpoint it's been pretty amazing, proving yet again that Gene Simmons is an idiot. Yet again, he's spouting that "Rock is dead". He couldn't be more wrong if he tried. One look at the Wyrd Ways Rock Show playlists from the last couple of weeks would show him how wrong he i...

This is probably the most musically diverse show I've ever done. It's certainly the most non-traditional, I think. I'm finding a lot of interesting stuff by surfing Stories and Reels on Instagram. Of course, as longtime listeners will already know, if I find something interesting, that I like, I'll play it on the show. That means there's a bit more than expected from Australia.&nbsp...

The weekly Wyrd Ways Rock Show is back for the time being! There's been so much good music I've been finding recently, I'm making a lot more shows than normal. Not bad, eh? Anyway... if you need it, there's a bit of a TW for mental health problems (mine!) and sex. They're linked together and I've been talking to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bettersx.blog/">Alice Lovegood of t...

This is an unusual situation, isn't it? Two Wyrd Ways Rock Shows, two weeks in a row?! Is it a sign of The End Times?! With the political situation in the US, it might just be that. Anyway, continuing the policy of getting more women and marginalized communities onto the show (so long as they're making good music), there's loads of new stuff about to pour out of your earphones, or whatev...

Not done one of these since July, and it's now November. Oops. Been a busy few months at Castle Wyrd Ways. That's why there's been a big delay. You've listened to the interviews I did at at Stonedead, right? Anyway. As usual, there's loads of new stuff, including tracks from Celavi, Grand Magus and loads of others. You can see it in the tracklisting on the Wyrd Ways Rock S...

Welcome to the latest edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show. This month (although I may try to get another one out this month before Stonedead), we're bringing you a solid lineup of new music from across the metal spectrum. As always, we're keeping it real - mistakes, verbal hiccups, and all. But not literally hiccups this time out. We've got fresh tracks from experienced heads like Deep Purple,...

May was ridiculously busy this year. So much assignment marking to be done, so I wasn't in the right brain space for the work of putting a show together. Then there was The Final Shape ... Anyway, Download 2024 was another mudbath that I'm glad I didn't attend, I can't got to SOS Festival in a couple of weeks because of transport issues and I appear to have a chest infection. That's...

It’s OK, folks, The Wyrd Ways Rock Show is back for another blast of quality Rock and Metal, just the way you love it. It’s May and Festival Season is just getting going. Here in the UK we’ve got Download, Stonedead and Bloodstock, in France there’s Hellfest and in Germany, there’s Wacken Open Air. Unfortunately Metal Days has been cancelled, but there’s loads of others, large and small...

Hello again and welcome to the four hundredth (yes, you did read that correctly!) edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show. So I've done 400 individual podcasts as either Wyrd Ways Rock Show or WWRS: The Forge, so for the milestone I thought I'd return to the original numbering and even the original style - doing it in Roman numerals. What's in this edition?  Aside from me ranting on a little bit about...

Welcome to the latest edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show. As per usual, there's loads of new stuff, including Scene Queen' s new one, a track from Dave Ellefson's new band, Dieth and a track from brand new Nottingham-based band, Alt Blk Era .  Obviously that's not all.  Heading for two hours of top class Metal. Check the tracklisting on the Wyrd Ways Rock Show website at www.wyrdwaysrs.com If you’...

Let's not beat around the bush. This is a new episode of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show.  I've not done one for a few months for... reasons. Turn it up. If you’re in a band and want your music played on a future show, get in touch at admin@wyrdwaysrs.com. The same goes if there’s something you want to hear, or if you’re a fan with a story about how Metal changed your life, especially if you’re part of a...

This show is running a few days late because it was my birthday on Friday, and I had other things to sort out during the week running up to it.  Basically, "life gets in the way".  Anyway, welcome back to The Wyrd Ways Rock Show - the podcast/radio show that leaves the mistakes and verbal hiccups in and plays you the most awesome music available.  Turn it up and enjoy. If you’re in a band and want...

A slightly longer show this week. I seem to be getting back into this. At least for now. The new stuff is the focus of this generation of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show, so that's what this week's edition is all about - new music. As a bit of an indulgence, though, I am finishing with a classic slice of 80's cheese. Mosh buffers to maximum. Here we go... If you’re in a band and w...

Didn't really know if I was ever going to be typing anything here ever again! Welcome back to The Wyrd Ways Rock Show. Taking everything back to basics, the plan is just to play new stuff that excites me and that I like. That's the long and the short of it - it's stuff I like. If you like it too, so much the better. If you’re in a band and want your music played on a future show, get in touch at a...

After last week's edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show , I thought I'd go a bit Heavier this time out. So for those of you who like a bit more Thrash and Death Metal in your auditory diet, there's a little more for you to get your teeth into. That doesn't mean the fans of Hard Rock and Power Metal are left high and dry, though. There's definitely a few moments for you in there, too. Personal picks f...
