Author: O3L Media January 30, 2026 Duration: 32:52
Welcome to the first Weekend Six Pack installment of 2026 - the "show within the show" where we spotlight six new tracks that have rocked our proverbial knickers off! Valentine's Day is coming a couple weeks early this year, because we've got two electrifying new tracks from Marc Valentine album bookending the show - the man who Vive Le Rock calls "the new king of British power pop". Both singles will feature on Marc's upcoming album Uncommon Side Effects, due April 10th from Wicked Cool Records. Better yet, Marc joins Brett to discuss the tunes! In this six pack: Marc Valentine - 'NY UAP' (from the upcoming LP Uncommon Side Effects, Wicked Cool Records) Blindness & Light - 'Fly Paper' (single, from their upcoming LP) Hauntees - 'All Over Again' (from the forthcoming LP Shadows Forming, Xonoring Records) The Legal Matters - 'Stuck With Me' (from the forthcoming LP Lost At Sea, Big Stir Records) Would-be-goods - 'Dr. Love' (from the forthcoming LP Tears Before Bedtime, Skep Wax Records) Marc Valentine - 'You Are The Jet' (from the upcoming LP Uncommon Side Effects, Wicked Cool Records) Learn more about your ad choices.
