Shameless Plug For My New Radio Show!

How long will it be up for? I mean, when is the last day/hour? I want to make sure to listen and it’s already Thursday tomorrow. Is it up till your live show on Friday evening?

It'll be up until about 6 PM United States CDT time today (Friday, April 25th), which is midnight London time.
 
Today is ROCK AND ROLL RADIO Friday, and let's have a little refresher, shall we?

There are a couple ways you can listen to our show FOR FREE - either through the High Volume Music Radio app or on the website. Neither is as straight-forward as I'd like so here are the ways to get to where you want to be:

APP
High Volume Music Radio app -> tap the three bars on the upper-left side of the screen -> Scroll down to the bottom link, which is "Podcasts" and tap it -> Look for my incredibly handsome face and punch it...errr, tap it for the rock

WEBSITE
www.highvolumemusicradio.com -> Click "LISTEN" on the upper-right-hand part of the screen (a new window will open) -> Click "Podcasts" on the upper-right-hand of the screen -> Again, look for Brad Pitt's identical twin and you're there!

Now - what will you hear when you take the actions above? Look down one post!
 
Today on ROCK AND ROLL RADIO, it's a smorgasbord of new classic rock!

This ALWAYS happens when there's a two- or three-week gap between episodes, which we had with Easter and Spring Break. And you know why - we're living in the Second Golden Age of Classic Rock and it is RAINING rock and roll on us!

Today's rain showers come from The Midnight Calls, The Midnight Devils. The Southern River Band, Deraps, Andy Alexander, Dirty Honey, Steve Creep and the Wildcards and Rattlesnake Suitcase, who are so cool!

That's just the tip of the iceberg and as usual, the body of that berg is the Ladies That Rock. Today, as we celebrate hitting 450 LTR songs in our catalog, we blast out new stuff from Miss Velvet, Legs Electric, The Dirty Denims, Samantha Fish and Lucie Sue!

The party gets hopping live today at 4 PM Central USA time. Let's rock!
 
It may be Monday as I type this but there's good news to start the week = there's a new episode of ROCK AND ROLL RADIO waiting for you!

Tune in, turn on, and rock out to new stuff from The Band Feel, Dirtbag Republic, Dustin Douglas & the Electric Gentlemen, Gyasi, Kaviani, The Midnight Calls, and a very special tribute to Eddie Van Halen from Sammy Hagar and friends. But that's just the half of it!

The biggest challenge we have at ROCK AND ROLL RADIO isn't finding new songs - it's been raining rock and roll on us for more than three years now - it's fitting in as many great songs as we can without going too long playing any one song. Meaning, we don't want any of this great rock to get lost in the deluge of new stuff. If I was lazy, every show would just be the new stuff we got this week paired with the new stuff from the last show. That would be a great show but we do the work for you!

So we ALWAYS examine our catalog and ask ourselves (well, really I just ask myself), "What do we need to add in to this show to make it the best two hours of our week?" This is where those skillz-with-a-z come in.

Bringing today's show to the epic level we expect are The Darkness, Spin Doctors, The Rolling Stones, Crossbone Skully, The Treatment, The Struts and three different bands with the word "Star" in their names. Plus much more!

Our station owner Ant Boogie is a giant Bonnie and Clyde history buff. So imagine his joy when we found a Ladies That Rock band named after them - Parker Barrow! But by ANY name, Parker Barrow is worthy of LTR status, and they're joined by Vixen 77, The Dirty Denims, Grace Potter and Thundermother. No bank robberies here, just fantastic rock and roll!

Fire up the High Volume Music Radio app and get your week off to the start you deserve!
 
Episode 190 of ROCK AND ROLL RADIO drops today and it's one you should listen to. Why, you ask? No, go ahead and ask me why.

OK, fine - I'll tell you. Because it's the last show we're doing for a little while that features the gamut of classic rock. Meaning, brand new songs, songs from twenty years ago, etc. And why, you ask, is that?

I'll tell you that, too - as we slide towards Episode 200 I thought it would be a good idea to program one show that we could use to convince anyone that we really are living in a Second Golden Age of Classic Rock. And we'd do that by playing only awesome songs that were released within the last two years. Guess what?

There have been so many great songs that we're going to have to do THREE shows featuring the new stuff!

So today's show is the last one for awhile where you'll hear great stuff from 5+ years ago by artists like Danko Jones, Aerosmith, 42 Decibel, Massive Wagons, Terrorvision, Bonafide and Tommy's RockTrip.

Therefore, get your groove on with this show while getting ready to get INUDATED with loud and proud proof that we are indeed living in the Second Golden Age of Classic Rock!

Fire up the High Volume Music Radio app and let's get it on!
 
We've all got friends that have said for years that rock is dead. I know - for a long time I was that friend. Happily though, I was wrong. And today we have ROCK AND ROLL RADIO!

But those friends of ours who still haven't seen the light and heard the rock need our help. So I set out to help them. I told myself, "Self, you should put together a show of great, NEW classic rock songs. A show so incredible that anyone who listens to it will be amazed and overjoyed to find out that rock and roll is just as good today as it was in the 70's!"

So that's what we did...kind of.

What we found that even by limiting ourselves to songs released in just the last five years, we had enough great material for not one, not two, but THREE straight episodes of ROCK AND ROLL RADIO!

The first episode just dropped, and it contains stuff from great bands like The New Roses, Quiver, Goodbye June, Red Voodoo, Ace Monroe, Dirty Honey and The Midnight Devils. Names that YOU know, and names that our friends should know, too!

They also should know that the ladies rock harder than the guys. How much harder? You'll have to listen to find out but when you do, you'll be glad you did! Nobody anywhere else has The Ladies That Rock - won't our currently-un-rocked friends be delighted when they hear what the ladies have been doing!

Therefore, our assignment is to let everyone who's ever told us, "Rock is dead! Grunge killed rock! There's no more good rock songs out there!" (all stuff I said over the years!) that we have great news - rock and roll is alive and it lives on ROCK AND ROLL RADIO!

All they have to do is download the High Volume Music Radio app and get going. Or they can even motor over to www.highvolumemusicradio.com and give us a test listen before festooning their phone with our avatar.

The best news? This is only show #1 of 3 in a row designed to permanently answer the "Is rock dead" question. It's not and it's gonna be like Christmas in the spring for our friends!
