On my show this month:
We kick the show of in the usual pedal-to-the-metal fashion with some Chicago punk from Cel Ray off their new album out later this month. There’s a great remix off the latest EP by hybrid punk band / DJs from Edinburgh, Bikini Body . The album by Horse Lords , Demand to Be Taken to Heaven Alive! came out last month and deserves getting another plug as it’s a cracker. On the notable new discoveries list this month, we have KOGG and Akram Hajj, both deliciously experimental, creative and exciting. Also some goth, doom, folk from Emaleen Tangleweed who’s preview track bodes well for her new album due out at the end of this month. Brevi hopes that this month’s sonic poké bowl will have you glowing in body mind and soul (unlike that rather cheesy line).

Biography:
My experience of the John Peel Show was limited to the last few years, yet much of the music he played before that found its way to me via friends or session releases I heard later. I would say that my main source of new music is through festivals and gigs I went to from the mid 90's onwards and recommendations from the lifelong friends who accompanied me or ones we met along the way.
Having been raised in west Wales, I saw Datblygu play regularly. The band I was in at the time was down to support them one night but Dave didn't make it to the gig as he was arrested so we never actually supported them but it's on the poster!
The Fall appeared in my life in 2000, The Unutterable was just released and I loved it, as well as pretty much everything old and new they did. It was soon after that that I began to comprehend music in a more deconstructed way as frequencies and rhythms which opened up the door to a world of great underground bands.
A lot of my spare time and money is spent on music and I'm so very proud to have been given a chance to share some of it on Dandelion Radio. I've been listening to the station for many years now and discovered some amazing stuff so I hope I can keep up at least.
I think we're all here for the same reason - to discover something new, inspiring and exciting, because that's what life is about.
