Here is what is currently playing on Dandelion Radio
 Leo Gilbert
Punk rock is not dead. It has merely been reorganised, digitised, remastered and given several opportunities to explain itself. In Leo's show this month, John makes the case, followed by Reeko , Arca and Tommy Barlow, who ensure matters remain unnecessarily complicated. Gnod provide testimony from The Witness, while Datblygu ring the bells of somewhere in Wales. There is fugue, moonlight and dawn, presumably because daytime has become difficult. Overmono and John Joseph Holt arrive in Shining Prada, while David Peel remains, reassuringly, King of Punk.
Elsewhere: Kenyan rhythms, Scottish exhaustion, dream editions, morphine, blonde people, Brahms and at least one wrong number. Xiu Xiu bring the Smashy Smashy. The Femcels have the final word. And somewhere in the middle, Leo contributes Qwershape. Thirty-five tracks. No obvious conclusion. Probably for the best.

Fontaines D.C. - Marianne
| Image from Discogs  Fontaines D.C. is an Irish post-punk band formed in Dublin, Ireland, in 2014. They have since moved to London, United Kingdom. The band comprises Grian Chatten (vocals), Carlos O'Connell (guitar), Conor Curley (guitar), Conor Deegan III (bass) and Tom Coll (drums). After meeting while attending music college, and bonding over a common love of poetry, the band began self-releasing singles and performing live regularly, signing to Partisan Records in 2018. The band's debut album, Dogrel, was released on 12 April 2019 to widespread critical acclaim. It was listed as Album of the Year on the record store Rough Trade's website, voted Album of the Year by presenters on BBC Radio 6 Music,[5] and was nominated for both the Mercury Prize and the Choice Music Prize. The band's second studio album, A Hero's Death, was written and recorded in the midst of extensive touring for their debut, and was released on 31 July 2020. It was later nominated for Best Rock Album at the 2021 Grammy Awards. Their third album Skinty Fia, released in 2022, became the band's first to reach number one on the U.K. and Irish albums charts. Their fourth album, Romance, came out in August 2024. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
