Pop Rocks Radio - Episode 26

Author: Pop Rocks Radio September 4, 2024 Duration: 1:33:01

Get ready for another exciting episode of Pop Rocks Radio! This time, we're rocking out with fresh new tracks from The Toms, Annie Minogue Band, and The Metal Byrds. Plus, we'll dive into some classic hits from The Knack and The Boomtown Rats. And of course, no episode of Pop Rocks Radio would be complete without a song from my favorite band, 20/20. Tune in for a high-energy mix of the old and the new!

My sincerest apologies to the band Broken Record - I misspoke in the episode and referred to them by the name of their song, "Ringer" instead of the band name. Great song, great band...sorry about that!

Learn more about the Annie Minogue Band on their website.

Tune into Pop Rocks Radio for a journey through the sounds that often fly under the radar. This isn't a lecture from a critic; it's a shared passion project from someone who genuinely loves digging through crates and hitting play. The host's personal collection fuels every episode, celebrating the crunchy guitars of power pop, the raw energy of punk, the lo-fi charm of garage, and the spirit of indie. Think of each installment as a carefully crafted, slightly offbeat mixtape passed from one fan to another, designed purely to spark your curiosity and maybe introduce you to a new favorite band. The whole point of this podcast is to channel that excitement directly back to the artists themselves. So if a song grabs you, you're encouraged to seek it out and support the musicians who made it. The show itself is a labor of love, and if you find value in these sonic explorations, there are simple ways to offer a tip for a coffee or directly through certain podcast apps. At its heart, Pop Rocks Radio is a personal invitation to discover the vibrant music thriving just outside the mainstream, hosted by a guide who’s as enthusiastic about sharing it as you hopefully are about hearing it.
