Unsigned Rock Podcast

As there’s still a regular influx of people after some of the best in unsigned rock, thought it was worth-while posting again to let all you new-comers know that I’m now co-hosting one of the biggest + best music podcasts, TPN Rock, alongside Ewan Spence.

We put out 4 shows a week between us, and it’s giving some awesome exposure to bands + artists, a lot more than I was able to do with the Unsigned Rock Podcast. If you’re liking the shows here, the format is no different now I produce TPN Rock, so don’t worry!

Although it’s been over a month now, I’m still looking at producing occasional shows here, but make sure you head over to TPN Rock or grab the RSS feed for your podcatcher (such as iTunes) to listen over the latest shows I produce!

Thursday again, so it’s time to get down your local bar and see who’s on stage! Some awesome tracks here sure you to have you ready to get out and listen to some live bands yourself, as well as the last chance to enter our competition to win a copy of The Playing Fields latest album.

Comments, as always, are welcome either on the blog post, or over email to iain.foulds@gmail.com.

• The Weather Machine, by Signal to Noise - Signal to Noise on Myspace
• Tame Thoughts, by Warm in the Wake - www.warminthewake.com
• Slip Away, by Babylon Bombs - www.babylonbombs.net

This is the last dual-post across both shows, so for those good boys + girls that got subscribed to TPN Rock, this is the last time you’ll end up with two copies of the show! From now on, all TPN Rock shows will only go out on TPN Rock, but as I’ve said before, stay subscribed to the Unsigned Rock Podcast to get any shows I put out on here too!

Monday already, and here’s the perfect way to wake yourself up and get your mind back out of weekend mode. Some awesome tracks to have you turning the volume up, and a couple of tracks maybe a little different, but hope you like them anyways!

Also into the second week of our competition to win a copy of The Playing Fields album ‘Hello New World’. Listen in for details on how to enter, with the winner being announced next Monday giving you plenty of time to be in with a chance!

If you’re still picking things up from here, head over to TPN Rock as I’ll be stopping the dual-posting after Thursday’s show. Wouldn’t want you to miss anything, so grab the feed from there! Keep the Unsigned Rock Podcast subscribed though, as that will make an appearance still too!

Yep, Thursday’s mean it’s time to get out the house and head down to the bar, because It’s Rock Night! If a band is getting out there playing gigs and it’s all rock coming out the amps, they’ll get played right here on TPN Rock too! The Playing Fields competition is still going on to win a copy of their latest album ‘Hello New World’ - listen in to the show to find out how to enter.

Tracks included in this podcast:

• ‘Mess of Me’ by Dollar Sent - Dollar Sent on MySpace
• ‘Care to Break’ by Appomattox - Appomattox on Myspace
• ‘Sister Ellen Mullen’ by The Baghdaddios - The Baghdaddios on Myspace
• ‘Everyday’ by The Lingus - The Lingus on Myspace
• ‘Black Eyed Lady’ by Racine - Racine on Myspace

If you’re wanting to keep track of the shows via iTunes, make sure you head over to TPN Rock and subscribe to the feed from there as I’ll only dual-post to both sites + feeds for another week! Of course, don’t unsubscribe from the Unsigned Rock Podcast, as I’ll still keep plodding along with this too!

Have no fear, only the title + theme music are different!

As I’ve been hinting at for a while, things are a changin’! Those with good memories will remember when I met up with Ewan Spence at The Des Moines Riot’s gig back at the end of June, and here we are! I’m continuing as normal with two podcasts a week on a Monday + Thursday, so you won’t even have your routine changed a bit, but you’ll also get even more music from Ewan on a Tuesday + Friday. Surely you can’t argue with double the music, and still for free?!

Tracks included in this podcast:

• ‘Foolish Man’ by Never Quiet Never Still - www.nqns.com
• ‘Into the Sea’ by Lust Out - www.myspace.com/lustout
• ‘Nonesuch Nameless’ by The Playing Fields - www.myspace.com/theplayingfields
• ‘Vandalise’ by Miss the Occupier - www.misstheoccupier.com
• ‘Puppet Show’ by no1son - www.myspace.com/no1sontheband

I’m very excited about working alongside Ewan and on The Podcast Network, as it will give a lot more exposure to the bands + artists getting played. For you lot, there shouldn’t be a difference - listen to the show and it’s still 5 tracks, no adverts, and 25-30 minutes long! I’m not anticipating that changing one bit!

The Unsigned Rock Podcast will continue, though less regularly - probably when I have an overflow of music I just can’t wait to get played, or if I have some live tracks from a gig. Keep subscribed to the feed, doesn’t cause any harm, and you’ll get any new shows as they come out! Of course, to listen to the shows I’ll be doing twice a week on TPN Rock and Ewan’s shows, head over to TPN Rock and subscribe to the feed there (I know some of you probably already are!).

I’ll dual-post shows I produce from TPN Rock on here for a couple of weeks, but head over to TPN Rock and subscribe to the feed there to continue receiving the latest shows from Ewan + myself.

Time for game with our first track, 4 more ‘regular’ tracks, and announcing news on a new competition to win a copy of ‘The Playing Fields’ latest album. Oh, and a teaser about what’s going on next week too!

Suppose I should make up for a distinct lack of a podcast at the end of last week after being down in London, so this collection of tracks should just about do it!

No mellow acoustic tracks of pop-ish tunes this time, all rock, so make sure you get ready to turn the volume up. Better collect the air miles too - from South Africa, to the US, Canada and back to South Africa. Dunno where the influx of bands + artists from South Africa has come from the last few shows!
