With tonight’s show the final episode of June, it’s time to look back at the new music released over the past quarter year. These three months have been simply fantastic. There’s been followups to recor

Around a month ago, I broadcast a show with the them of “guitars”. Songs with the word “guitar” in the title, or songs about guitars. I also asked for some assistance from social media on some tun

Here we go with the second part of this month’s new release series, and it’s a barnburner! Besides the usual Rum Bar Records showcase, there’s also a later set devoted to Dammit Records’ monthly D

Part one of the monthly new release series has always informally been a “friends of the show” episode, and this month these friends came through with fantastic new tunes. Miss Georgia Peach returns with an an
