Andy's May show features an exclusively recorded session by Swathes - otherwise known as Matty Webber from Deeside in Wales. This guest appearance sets a record for the longest gap between two sessions by the same act on Andy's show, as Matty's last one was way back in June 2010 - almost 14 years! Elsewhere this month, you'll hear Tired Cossack, Mamari, R. Missing, Arab Strap, His Electro Blue Voice, A Certain Ratio, Otha, Epic45 and more.

Brownbutter returns this month with a whopper of a show for May including new tracks from Sheer Mag, Adrianne Lenker, Kim Gordon, Les Savvy Fav, Bicep, Tenniscoats, Jessica Pratt, Meril Wubslin, Luge, and more.

Greetings! I have a spring bouquet of great new releases for you this month, including Kid Congo & The Pink Monkeybirds, Melvins, Meatbodies, Ploho, Las Nubes, Why Bother?, Bikini Body, Morgan Elwy, The Unknowns, and Critical Witness.
That's right, new Kid Congo AND new Melvins! Pinch me.
We also have a new album of the year candidate from Glass Beams, and a new release from the wonderfully named Unicorn Fart Sugar. All this plus two archival Peel session tracks.

Enjoy the show!

Gareth's May show brings you a taster of this year's Eurovision Song Contest with three of his personal favourite entries, plus we take a trip back to Eurovision past in 'Secret Songs from the Sixties'.
There is also a belated salute to Record Store Day with vinyl shopping songs by Frank Turner, The Freshies and Swansea Sound.
The 2nd hour's guest hosts are Jamie and Gem from Leeds Indie band Crumbs who who take part in regular feature "Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue" to coincide with their new album "You're Just Jealous", released May 10th on the Skep Wax label.

Leo has put together what one critic is hailing as "one of his best shows in years" (© Leo Gilbert) this month.
He has four hours' worth of tunes from all over the world, most of which were released in the past couple of months. Sahra Halgan gets the show underway, and is quickly followed by the likes of Alessandro Cortini & Baseck, Gurriers, Church Chords and Meta Meat.
He also has another track from what is Leo's album of the year, The Collective by Kim Gordon, and from his album of the month, Żeżina Ddoqq is-Sħab by A Lily.
Towards the end of his show, Leo shares what is possibly the most remarkable single he has heard in years, courtesy of Ergo Phizmiz. It (the song and the show) really is a corker, so don't you dare miss it!

This synopsis was paid hush money to silence it telling you that my May show brings you Finom, Leon Dinero, SSSLIP, Arma, Lynks and a brilliant cover of a Joy Division classic amongst lots of others.
This synopsis is defying the gagging and telling you straight, anyway.

Max Blansjaar is the session guest for this month's show and there's a featured compilation from Skep Wax with a second instalment of the Under The Bridge series that manages, to these ears anyway, to be even better than the first.
As always, we've also got a whole load of new releases including tracks from albums by Bob Vylan, Blakk Rasta and Pye Corner Audio, singles from Novelistme and Cumgirl8, something from the new Long Hat Pins EP plus EP tracks from Pigmaliao and Akriza & Peace Sine and a David Holmes remix of Orbital.
Again, there's so much great new stuff about that there's little time for anything retrospective, though we do have our usual Peel Back... featuring tunes that appeared in session on the John Peel show twenty, thirty and forty years ago this month.

Two hours from Rocker this month, including a new session from Lonely Tourist, and a featured album from the Skep Wax label.
There are new tracks from House Of All; The Reds, Pinks And Purples; Sweetpool; Neutrals; Helen Love; The Wendy Darlings; Silver Biplanes; Cosmit; Crumbs; Jasmine Allen Estate; The Charlie Tipper Rebellion; TV Smith; and Fresh.
There's new electronica from Johannes Klingebiel, and Peggy Gou. King Tubby teams up with Hollie Cook to cover Amy Winehouse, while Blue Orchids cover labelmates The Nightingales.
This month's Rocker's Shellac Attack is a classic rock'n'roll b-side from 1958, while this month's Educating Elizabeth record is a brand new 7" out of Cincinnati on the Colemine label.
As well as little known acts, here's a little known fact: The Formanta Polivoks was a dual oscillator synthesizer produced in the USSR in the 1980s.

There are two shows from me this month. This one plus a one hour special dedicated to the city of Sydney.
This one is a three hour show featuring, as always, as many new artists as we can cram in and a few established ones too.
First up, The Pill from the Isle of Wight with a tune a touch redolent of you know who from the same place. But that's no bad thing, I've always been a fan of places that develop a sound that nowhere else has.
Joining them on the all female front from the UK are a band that appear to be getting rather popular, The Baby Seals with their rather joyous "ID'd at Aldi". Regular listeners will know that I'm a fan of the supermarket song and if you trawl through the Dandelion one hour specials you'll find that a few years back I dedicated an hour to songs celebrating the joys of supermarket shopping, getting lost in them and all that stuff.
There's a new one from Melbourne outfit Parsnip. I can't wait for the new Beth Gibbons album based on the pre-release 2 singles I have heard so far. Also new Brazilian artist Ana Frango Eletrico spins a new take on things.
Jean Mignon has just released his 2nd (mini) album on Metal Postcard, "Dirty Mean Fast". It is the purest NYC rock'n'roll punk I have heard in many a year and I hope you love it as much as I do. Bendigo's Relays sing about Australia's least loved subculture, eshays. St Louis Missouri's Soup Activists have released their debut album. It's sharp and funny indie that injects a freshness into the genre. As an aside I'm hearing a lot of great bands out of the midwest at the moment I think we might be in for the return of the guitar soon, talking of which Idles & Vampire Weekend are back both with their strongest albums in ages.
Also 3 songs in a row from Neon Kittens. The kittens have had a hard time of it recently with a fire at chez Neon. Help them out by buying stuff at their Bandcamp ( https://neonkittens.bandcamp.com/ )
Music from loads of others too. Four Tet, That Thing, Niney The Observer, Comus, TIM.M, The Paperniks, Arab Strap & Glass Beams ... the list goes on.

Monkey Say Monkey Do
This month X-Ray Moon has compiled a programme that he has called 'Nirvana Etcetera', which is dedicated to the memory of Kurt Cobain who sadly died thirty years ago on 5th April 1994.
In this programme we are presented with a sprinkling of a few of Nirvana's best tracks (though how does one choose one from another – since so many of them are fabulous?!). We are also presented with some of Nirvana's contemporaries from around the Seattle, USA, area; as well as some rather splendid, shocking and rare cover versions of some of Nirvana tracks. Finally, we are treated to tracks from a selection of Kurt’s favourite albums.
This is X-Ray Moon’s dedication to Kurt Cobain and Nirvana.
Enjoy!
