If it rocks and it’s tuneful, you’ll find it here. Singles that fit the bill this week include Big Big Train, Smith/Kotzen and Beyond the Black. Peter Goalby released a long-lost album. I’ve been enjoying watching Stray recently, so they figure in the show, as do cuts from the back catalogues of Diamond Head, Heart and Korpiklaani. Keep up to date with the latest about the show by following me on Twitter/X @BethCharleswor5.

Korpiklaani – Let’s Drink

Smith/Kotzen – Blindsided

Stray – I Believe It

Lost in Hollywood feat. Of Virtue – Like a River

They come in many forms, but these rock songs are all catchier than the seasonal lurgy. This week was big on singles, ranging from Michael Monroe to N2O and from The Rods to Chez Kane. Add to that some British Lion and The Raven Age, because I’ve seen both live recently, and one of my favourite Orden Ogan songs just because I can.
