Radio shows

The obsessive hunt for and compilation of new, interesting music has been a pursuit that's taken up far too much of my time since I was a teenager. My monthly music review radio show, Charts & Wires, is a great way to exorcise those demons if nothing else.

See out the end of summer with this month's episode of our experimental music review. There's some Weyes Blood, Black Country New Road, Richard Hell and the Voidoids, Nérija, and that Tool track everyone won't shut up about. Also they didn't make us a social image this month so have an ugly mugshot of Blaise's mohawk.

Radio show: Charts & Wires - Episode VII

Winter is fast setting in, which means 199radio's monthly experimental music review show is obliged to throw a festive curveball. Rather than tracing the heritage of a series of recent releases as normal, in a wholly original format dubbed 'The End of Year List', Blaise & Sam offer their opinions on what did and didn't tick their boxes this year.

Radio show: Charts & Wires Episode V

Another month, another episode of our monthly experimental music review show, Charts & Wires. With little regard for their wellbeing, Sam and Blaise rush between new tracks from various weird named oddities, such as Goatman, Viagra Boys and Thom Yorke.
