Shameless Plug For My New Radio Show!

The show isn't on the High Volume website any more but if you want to DM me an email address, I can send the file in MP3 format. It's about 110 mb, which I understand is not that big for a podcast file. Anyone that wants the show, just let me know!
Now we're in business ! Also Is the website link broken? It's just a blank page when i try to go to it . I was trying to listen today and nada. I made a post on Facebook and the HVMR link didn't even work from there. Right now I'm charging my phone, just in case i have to download the app(for Friday's episode). Rodeo did you ever hook up with Shaun? The Black Stone Funk Revival got a new album coming out. A video for the first single is already done...

Here's a link that works. For some reason, Facebook screws it up, but try this:


Can't wait to hear the new Black Stone Funk Revival!

I haven't hooked up with anyone. I thought about doing interviews but decided against it, because I don't think I'm a very good interviewer. But I am happy to promote anything that any artist puts out on our show. I always try to let my listeners know when something new is coming out, and when the artists are on tour and where they're going.
 
As many of you know, it's been a week here in Houston. In addition to volunteering, hosting and lifting up everyone we can, how about a couple hours of the best rock music in the world? I bet that'll help brighten some spirits!

So you BET there's a brand-new episode of ROCK AND ROLL RADIO today! Not only that, but we are blasting out The Song Of The Summer! It's a true rock and roll song, so be prepared for a little raunch. But when you hear what The Midnight Devils have unleashed on the world, you WILL feel better; you WILL be tapping your feet and snapping your fingers; and you WILL be singing "Hey! Hey! Hey!" the rest of the day!

As they say on TV - but wait, there's more! A whole lot more! We've got brand-new, world-class rock and roll from Ramblin' Preachers, Goodbye June, Petes Diary, Quiver, Foxy Shazam, The New Old and BlackRain.

Plus, for all you Bruce Springsteen fans out there (especially Art Wynne), we're spinning "Born to Run" but with some background musicology. It's universally regarded as one of, if not THE, greatest rock songs ever but there's a part of it that even *I* did not know about. Wait until you hear the story!

No episode of ROCK AND ROLL RADIO would be complete without The Ladies That Rock; in fact, no episode has ever NOT had a Ladies That Rock segment. Who else can say that? Nobody! And who else is cranking out fresh music from The Hot Damn!; Bywaer Call; Bad Skin; and Brave Revival? Probably nobody!

The fun drops today at 4 PM CDT. Listen live on the High Volume Music Radio app or go to http://highvolumemusicradio.com/ for that old-school feel. Either way, you're gonna feel better at the end of the show - I guarantee it!
 
Cross my fingers and blink three times for luck but as of right now, both me AND High Volume Music Radio have avoided this morning's Blue Screen of Death! You know what that means, right?

ROCK AND ROLL RADIO is on the air today!

I guess we can add the Blue Screen of Death to the things that can't stop ROCK AND ROLL RADIO. In the span of two months we've overcome a derecho, a hurricane and now the Blue Screen of Death. What have I told you about the Second Golden Age of Classic Rock being unstoppable?

Today's unstoppable rock and roll features a baker's dozen of new stuff from new and old friends like The Midnight Devils, The Southern River Band, Red Voodoo, Sadler Vaden, The New Roses and an very VERY special song and item from The Milk Men. You WILL be inspired, I promise!

Joining the new stuff is classic rock from Led Zeppelin, Loverboy, The Hellacopters and four-count-'em-four covers of classic songs with great modern slants. I wouldn't play them if they weren't going to get you up off your seat!

For the 162nd time, we are featuring The Ladies That Rock and they are on FIRE. How hot are The Ladies That Rock these days? Every song on this show is brand new, and there were another five or six that are waiting in the wings! The Ladies really ARE taking over the world! For proof, we've got Joanne Shaw Taylor, Blues Pills, iDestroy, Bourbon House and if that's not enough, how about some Estonian rock and roll from Tabloited & Hanna Roll? We've got it and you're going to love it!

We go live today at 4 PM on High Volume Music Radio - you've got the app, don't you? If not, get it! Or if you don't have The Blue Screen of Death, head over to highvolumemusicradio.com and get your rock the old fashioned way. No blue screens can stop the rock and roll!
 
Today on ROCK AND ROLL RADIO - it's Rock and Roll Story Time! Four great stories from a classic rocker - the one and only Frank Secich! Of course, there will be some Deadbeat Poets rock and roll to go along with the stories!

Plus, great music from The Midnight Devils, Crossbone Skully, Pete's Diary, The Claws, The Smashed Avocados and BC and the Big Rig, to name a few.

To name a few MORE, we've got a Ladies That Rock set with five-count-em-five brand-new songs, coming from The Bellas, The GEMS, Legs Electric, Nico Vega and Roxx Revolt & the Velvets!

Episode 163 drops at 9 PM GMT - listen any time, all the time (for the next week at least!) on the High Volume Music Radio app or go old school at highvolumemusicradio.com. Hope you can join us!
 
Just when you think you've heard it all, you find out you haven't. What do I mean?

Tune into today's ROCK AND ROLL RADIO and find out! I thought I knew all the ways to promote a band but I was wrong. Just wait 'til you hear the story of Takeaway Thieves. Their story is unique and their music is great!

Joining them on today's episode - which is number 164, can you believe that? - are great songs from Austin Gold, Scarlet Rebels, Gorilla Riot, The Stray Pursuit and The Mercury Riots. Never heard of any of those bands? I bet that after this episode, you'll be glad you've heard of them now!

You know - you KNOW - that the Ladies That Rock are going to bring the rock. It's in their name! The Ladies blowing the roof off any and all places this week are JÄST, The Wild Things, The Hot Damn!, Hannah Wicklund and more!

So broaden your horizons and learn something new - tune in to ROCK AND ROLL RADIO! Episode 164 drops live today at 4 PM CDT and as always, you can listen on the High Volume Music Radio App or right off your computer at highvolumemusicradio.com. As they say at Faber College, "Knowledge is Good"!

Semi-Live from the Great Northwest - it's ROCK AND ROLL RADIO!

That's right - Uncle Greg and Co. are grooving in Seattle today, that city that gave us rock and roll with Jimi and tried to kill it with grunge. Ha, I kid! And I rock! How will we rock today?

How WON'T we rock? We've got it all - new stuff from breakout bands like The Midnight Devils, The Bites, Ramblin' Preachers, The Mercury Riots, and Seven Year Witch (covering Outkast, no less!). Plus the kind of cuts from Aerosmith, Motley Crue, Motorhead and the Marvelous 3 that only ROCK AND ROLL RADIO plays!

No episode of ROCK AND ROLL RADIO is complete without the Ladies That Rock and rocking us this week are The Choices, Ali Handal, Rebel Queens, New Rock City and as promised last week, new stuff from The BellRays. Heck, ALL the songs on the Ladies That Rock are brand-new songs because NO ONE rocks like the Ladies!

Tune in, turn on, and get pumped live today at 4 PM CDT on the High Volume Music Radio App. And yes - it IS raining in Seattle right now! :D
 
We are back and we are back as only ROCK AND ROLL RADIO can come back - with an entire show featuring the Ladies That Rock! And hey - we were only gone a week but it felt like a year!

If it felt like a year to you too, then today is your lucky day! Where else are you going to find an episode like this? Where else are you going to find a show that has played almost ***400*** songs from nearly ***200*** female and female-fronted bands?!?

SPOILER ALERT - nowhere else but ROCK AND ROLL RADIO! OK, enough of the patting ourselves on the back. What do we have today?

Brand new stuff from Brave Revival, Robin Lane, Go Betty Go, Vineyard Chicks and The Guize. Plus, not one but TWO Italian bands - Bambole Di Pezza and The Loyal Cheaters.

They're joined by our friends Femmes Voyous, NOBRO, Sheer Mag, The Hot Damns!, Gen and the Degenerates and Beaux Gris Gris & The Apocalypse. Plus so much more!

The songs are great, the backstories are incredible and the only place to find this stuff is on ROCK AND ROLL RADIO at High Volume Music Radio. Download the High Volume Music Radio app and start jamming when this episode drops at 4 PM CDT today. And then listen any time, all the time. You'll be glad you did!
 
Get your umbrellas out today because it's gonna rain brand new rock and roll on us!

Episode 167 of ROCK AND ROLL RADIO brings eight brand-new songs, each one of which is better than the last. I know that's impossible but when I played them, it sure seemed that way!

Add to that 19 more songs, almost all of which dropped in the last month, and you will have to agree that we ARE living in The Second Golden Age of Classic Rock!

We've got new stuff from Dirty Honey, Jet and Mars Needs Women, paired with recent releases from Crossbone Skully, Mr. Big, Them Dirty Roses, The Midnight Devils, The Milk Men and Gorilla Riot. Plus a lot more! And look, I get it - you might be saying to yourself, "Never heard of 'em!" Just know this - if you like rock and roll, you're gonna love hearing these bands and these songs. Give me a couple hours and I will prove that right!

Part of that proof will be the Ladies That Rock - something no one else does! I don't blame them because there's simply no one out there that has a catalog as big and as broad as ours. This week we add five new songs to it, which come from The Damn Truth, Turning Jane, Leilani Kilgore, Dear Robin and Thundermother. Who else has 400 songs from 200 Ladies That Rock bands? No one!

Join the fun at 4 PM CDT at High Volume Music Radio. Download the app, hit play, and thank me later!
 
College football is in full swing now but do you know what's ALWAYS in full swing?

ROCK AND ROLL RADIO!

And man, do we swing today! It isn't even Rocktober yet! :)

Let's rock today with brand-new gems from Mojo Thunder, Starcrazy, Blamethrower, The Steel Crows and Red Voodoo. All great bands, all great songs, all great stories but wait until you hear the new offering from Voodoo Wiseguys and let me tell you - Voodoo Wiseguys ISN'T a band. What is it, you ask? Tune in and find out!

Hey - we've hit a couple milestones with The Ladies That Rock! On this show we will eclipse both 400 songs from the Ladies, and we will have played more than 200 Ladies That Rock bands. I'm not aware of anyone else ANYWHERE doing ANYTHING like that and if they have, let me know!

This historical rock and roll event drops at 4 PM CDT today and guess what? Our website has been completely updated! Check it out and listen at www.highvolumemusicradio.com or as always, you can listen any time, all the time on the High Volume Music Radio app. Enjoy the ride!
