SnC 358 – and a bit of prog
A delicious selection of hand-picked musical treats this week, one of which gives a wink and a nod in the direction of good old prog-rock. We have lots else besides including rather a rude bit of musical satire aimed at the bankers, politicians and bureaucrats. Lots to listen to and all part of your weekly…

SnC 357 – Paper Beat Scissors
An unusual show this week in that it features just two artists. However, it does take on a slightly different form. We have the opportunity to hear a bit more depth and variety from one of the artists, Paper Beat Scissors. The show has a couple of other benefits in that it is shorter than…

SnC 356 – Spicy
A varied mix of tracks this week with the promised second tune from Gramatik, this time teamed up with Griz as Grizmatic. We’ve a brand new track from Dan Turnbull AKA Funke and the Two Tone Baby, some melodica magic and more, lots more. The Ad – Novi (LA, CA. USA) It’s good to…

SnC 355 – New Year delve
We’ve something different this week with a bit of a delve into what is known on the western side of the Atlantic as EDM, Electronic Dance Music. That’s after a few tracks from some fine artists who perform in traditional ways. I’m not saying that either is better but they are certainly both different! That’s…

SnC 354 – A foot in both camps
We’ve a selection of American and European artists this week along with at least one who has a foot in each camp. I also had a fresh fumble around in the nether regions of the wonderful European net-label Jamendo, a fantastic source of quirky music from all over the shop. If you do (legally) download…

SnC 353 – One chew, one chew, one chew
Well, it’s 121212 and it won’t happen again for another hundred years. So let’s celebrate the work of the road crews in bringing live music to us. 31 Coupe – Angie and the Car Wrecks (Centralia, WA, USA) Too Rockabilly to be Country, too Honky Tonk to be Psychobilly, and too Punk to be Bluegrass,…

SnC 352 – The power of positive ..
Checking the playlist, I see we’re going to be hearing exclusively from UK and Canadian artists this week. Purely co-incidence but an interesting mix, I hope you’ll agree. The Power Of Positive Drinking – The Trews (Antigonish, NS, Canada) The Trews has built its reputation belting their high-energy, arena-ready rock anthems from stages across…

SnC 351 – How rad is that?
A selection this week that will surely test the new Suffolk’n’Cool site and podcast feed to the limit! We’ve got soloists from New York, South Africa, Texas, and British Columbia, duos from Ukraine and London, a quintet from Chicago and a sextet from Minneapolis. But what unites them all is that they make some excellent…

SnC 350 – More highs than lows
A Suffolk’n’Cool week of great highs and lows so far – a brilliant afternoon of Canadian music in London on Monday. The new Suffolk’n’Cool site went up yesterday and today an innocent update to a theme brought it crashing down again – and it’s only Wednesday. Never mind. We’ve some really interesting music this week…

SnC 349 – Acoustics
We’ve got a rather acoustic, unplugged kind of feel to a lot of the tracks this week. There’s a great mix of raw, passionate songs with some superbly executed musicianship from London, New York, LA, New South Wales, Manchester, Margate and Gardabær, Iceland. What Are You Waiting For – Dikta (Gardabær, Iceland) “Dikta has been a…

SnC 348 – All corners of the everywhere
Music from all corners of the everywhere this week with a diversity of tracks from locations as remote as Oregon, Sweden, The Yukon as well as the hotbeds of contemporary music making in Ontario, Brooklyn, Japan and southern France. It never ceases to amaze me how much spectacularly individualistic music is being created today and…

SnC 347 – Racing with the sun
With music ranging from the deliciously quirky pop to the downright “interesting”, you’re almost certain to find some point this week where our respective musical tastes coincide. Probably. This week we’ve tracks from LA, London, Marseille, Dublin, Regina and Winnipeg in Canada and the almost chewable Mönchengladbach in Germany as well as the inevitable track…
