Unsigned Rock Podcast

Trying to get back into the old schedule of bringing out two podcasts a week, pretty much on a Monday + Thursday, and here’s some awesome tracks to start the week off for you! Real hard hitting rock tracks, mixed in with a couple of bands played previously who’ve got some new tracks available. Forget the problems with MySpace for a while - I can still bring the best in new + unsigned rock!

Competition Time!
Still got a chance to win a copy of The Eisenhowers latest album ‘Almost Half Undressed’ - simply send me an e-mail to unsignedrockpodcast@gmail.com with the subject line of ‘Give me free album’ or drop me through your details on the contact page. There’s 3 copies of this excellent album to give away, and I’ll be running this competition for a couple of weeks!

Tracks included in this podcast:

Zamarro Lost Off the album ‘Lust in Translation’ - buy online Track kicks in at 0:21

Hopefully the continuing MySpace problems will get resolved soon and let me start going back over bands that have been in touch, chase-up friend requests, etc. and find some excellent new music. No worries, I’ll be back in a few days anyways as I’ve got a stack of music on the playlist ready to go!

Yeah, it’s been a week since the last show, though I actually got back from Wales on Monday. Anyone that uses MySpace will know of the little problems they’ve been haivng the last few days… That and the that fact so many bands just haven’t been in touch giving me the nod to play some of their excellent tracks means I’ve been a tad fed up! But, a right good collection of music on the podcast.

The sun has disappeared, and it’s perfect timing with me heading down to Wales for a few days which is notorious for rain at the best of times! Still, we’ve got new competitions to announce on the podcast here, along with a host of excellent rock music to brighten things up!

A big hello to all those folks coming in from Feedburner! Hope you checkout the podcast and get your ears full of the best in new + unsigned podsafe rock music!

I initially sent in a bit of feedback to the guys + gals at Feedburner a couple of months ago and they’ve just stuck it on the Feedburner Buzz blog which hopefully will give a couple of days or so of the Unsigned Rock Podcast appearing on the front page of Feedburner

And for those living under a rock, Feedburner are the guys who provide the podcast RSS feed which allows you to automatically download the latest shows through something like iTunes and makes my life about 10 times easier for handling the feeds to anyone that wants it + letting me see exactly who + what is checking things out!

Those around with the Unsigned Rock Podcast for a while will know the very first 3 shows haven’t been available on LibSyn due to diskspace limitations, and if you try to get them via my webhost Lycos, it’s pretty hit + miss! But, since I’ve had to get extra space with LibSyn to handle to time-delayed podcasts and let me release shows whenever I want rather than waiting for space to be available, the first 3 shows are now on LibSyn. If you really want to hear where it all started and just how much better things have got, feel free to grab these shows - there is some excellent music so it’s worth doing, just don’t expect me to be much good!

Anyone subscribing to the Unsigned Rock Podast should be able to download them with whatever podcatcher you’re using, such as iTunes or Juice, or you can download them all directly here:

• Unsigned Rock Podcast #1
• Unsigned Rock Podcast #2
• Unsigned Rock Podcast #3

Damn, 20 shows already! Feels like I’ve been doing this forever, yet seems like only yesterday that I was uploading the first show! But, the weather is red hot over here and I don’t feel like doing anything other than sitting around the house listening to some awesome music! Figured I may as well share some of it

Tracks included in this podcast:

The Nervous Shakedown Come With Me Track kicks in at 0:19

Here’s hoping all this weather keeps up as I’m still moving through all the music submissions, but feel free to keep them coming! So long as the MacBook doesn’t do anything silly like melt, I’ll be back in a few days with another podcast!

Back from Ireland, and back to the music! Been almost a week since the last podcast came out, and closer to a week and a half since I actually recorded! Got a load of music from bands to start going through (30-35+) so bear with me if you’ve been in touch or submitted music. Keep the comments coming on the podcast though, I always appreciate them, and hopefully you’ll enjoy this mix of music

Stay around for the next couple of podcast where I’ll be announcing a new competition thanks to ‘The Eisenhowers’ to give away 3 copies of their latest album - ‘Almost Half Undressed’.

Well, if you’re reading this then the blog hasn’t buggered things up and my first ever time-delayed podcast should be good to go! I’m somewhere in Ireland at the moment on a trip with Paddywagon Tours which I’m sure is going to be really good. But, even with me gone, there’s still loads of excellent music to check out! If you get in touch to let me know what you think, bear in mind I probably won’t be getting into my e-mail for a few days

Hopefully this all goes down well and I make it back safely from Ireland. If I do, there’ll be a new podcast out either Thursday night or sometime on Friday depending on how tired I am when I make it back! Feel free to get in touch with me, though remember it might be a few day before I can get back in touch!

I’m off to Ireland on Thursday 6th July for a week’s tour with Paddwagon Tours which should be awesome - plenty of drink to be drunk I’m sure! Gonna head straight in to record another podcast now which will hopefully automatically release itself over the weekend so you don’t get all lonely, and baring any problems I’ll be back next Thursday!

Yet another podcast featuring live music recorded at a gig! This time, it was Edinburgh-based The Des Moines Riot who invited me up to their gig at Henry’s Cellar Bar back on Friday night (30th June). Really nice venue, about 70-80 or so in the audience, and excellent to get to meet another band I’ve picked up on since running the Unsigned Rock Podcast.

Scott, Colin, Tony and Dave were awesome, playing a good 40-45 minute or so set with 9 tracks, 5 of which I’ve got featured for the podcast:

• Said and Done
• Down
• The Night Before the Morning After
• Take It All
• Velocity

Really enjoyed the gig, and gonna try to get in touch with the suppot band as I managed to record some of their stuff which was pretty good and I enjoyed. Get in touch with the guys from The Des Moines Riot, tell you heard them right here, and see if you can check out some of their other gigs!

One other really cool side to having gone up to Edinburgh was meeting Ewan Spence, who produces TPN Rock - an excellent podcast very much along the lines of the Unsigned Rock Podcast, although Ewan’s been going for a well over a year! Top guy, who was very supportive of the podcast and put some interesting ideas my way - more on that later maybe. Really appreciated him coming down and checking out the gig, and he even took me to get a deep fried Mars Bar afterwards - that’s me on the left, with Ewan waiting for my reaction after taking a bite!
