Back in the late 1970's and early 1980"s the musical landscape was a fluid and unpredictable place. In this was born Punk , New Wave, Heavy Metal and much much more, one band straddled the genres and helped create one completely on its own. The Skids are that band this weeks chat is about the classic album that not many remember but should be up there with anything XTC, The Stranglers, PIL could and did put out at that time. So lets see if I get it right it was a tough one and on occasion the ly...

In 1981 the world was a different place, a place where anything went and punk had charged the worlds youth with the anyone can do it attitude. So three talented young men from the north of England smashed the burgeoning NWOBHM scene apart by creating a whole new genre. This is their call to arms and it’s raw, angry, fast and addictive.

A slightly different show this week no music involved, for the spooky season Id thought I would recant some my personal Ghost stories not all of them as I will save the rest for a part two one day. They are not edge of your seat stuff apart from one. But you will have to wait to the second part of the show to hear that one. Keep safe this Season and if you are going chasing spooks take a leaf out of my book and be careful. #hauntedlife #Heavymetaltones Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for ...
This weeks dive into a cult classic is a surprising album that is hidden away from the eyes of the mainstream but should be celebrated for its ambition and its vision. Sabbat have crafted one of those albums that gets under your skin that has more in common with Genesis The lamb Lies Down On Broadway then it does with Slayers Reign In Blood. A uniquely British sound that you wont here anywhere else. #heavymetaltones #Sabbat Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....

As we move forward with the resurgence of analog medium and all that entails has the point been missed, Stereo was once king and now seems relegated to fancy names and even fancier systems. Are we letting down the future listeners and denying them the beauty of master craftsman's fine works and all the audio landscape's they produce.
