Andrew Morrison

Andy's one-hour June show includes new music from Lust For Youth & Croatian Amor, Rival Consoles, The Raveonettes, Communions, Simon Heartfield, and more. There's a song from the first album Melys have released in 20 years. Andy also spins a very limited edition 7" flexi disc from Arab Strap, plus you'll hear an inspired afrobeat cover version of a very well-known Aphex Twin tune by Raz & Afla.

Greetings! The show begins with Brody & The Grodies and the best lyric I've heard so far this year: "Elon Musk is a poo poo fart." I also have new stuff from Anika, Big Flame, The Vultures, Shrag, The Vacant Lot, Platon Karataev, The Response, The Sky Creepers, The Julies, Karla Kvlt, Diary, Los Idiotas, Gróa, Straytones, somesurprises, ŠŅK, Blackwater Holylist, Pink Breath Of Heaven, and Family Dog. Ukandanz finishes the show with the best Amharic language Black Sabbath cover you've ever heard.
Enjoy the show!

In June, Gareth asks what ambitions and life goals you have on your bucket list?
There are a few suggestions for you courtesy of songs by MJ Hibbett & The Validators, Brian Bilston and The Catenary Wires plus Kunt and the Gang.
This month's edition of 'Secret Songs from the Sixties' features two lost recordings by comedy trio The Scaffold.
The 2nd hour contains a couple of interesting cover versions, including Darren Hayman tackling a Madonna song!
Plus this month's guest presenters are San Francisco Indiepop band Whitney's Playland. They'll be taking part in the regular feature 'Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue' to coincide with the release of their new EP 'Long Rehearsal', released June 20th on Dandy Boy Records (US) / Meritorio Records (Spain).

Leo Gilbert

It's another four scintillating hours from Leo this month, packed with 51 hot-off-the-virtual-press releases from the likes of Junior Brother, Remedies, Barry Can't Swim, Andrew Mbaruk & Th' Mole and helen island.
These were all new names to Leo before he selected them for his tracklist, but he also has a smattering of tracks from more familiar artists such as Max Cooper, More Eaze & claire rousay, Death In Vegas, Circuit des Yeux and Deerhoof.
It goes without saying that these lists only scratch the surface of the goodies on offer from Leo in his June show, so why not tune in to discover its full splendour?

I'm keeping going while I have some time available. No sessions or featured albums this month. No lack of fab music, though.
I have something from Caroline Rose and King Doudou brings some bubbling (yes, that is a genre).
There is a track off a killer 10" by Killa Sound and a simply sublime track by the Era Footwork Crew.
There is one of my votes from last years Festive 50 by the band Def Robot and Gaydar come at us with their usual bite.
If you give it a listen, thank you very much :-)

There's a brand new session this month from Digital Resistance, one of our most beloved bands of recent years. We've also got a featured compilation in the form of the True Names benefit album for trans youth from the Worry Bead label.
And of course there's a whole load of great new releases, including albums from Samantha Crain, Deerhoof, Jeffrey Lewis and Goofy18.
There's also a couple of belting 12" EPs from Faulter and Chontane and new singles from The Conspiracy, Sister Wives and Rastaveli MC.

One Big House

If there was such a thing as Fantasy Radio Show then One Big House has been playing it for years. So rather surprisingly the first show is full of 2025 releases. Like the first day at a new school, it's keen to impress and is smartly dressed but can't rule out having to make a bit of noise.
The debut show rips through home town bands from Bristol My First Time, Knives and Mould. Tears up the floor with Baalti, Bakey and Sunareht. Dances in the street with Sextile, Snapped Ankles and Pachyman. Snarls a little bit with Carsick and Aerial Salad. Calms down with Hekla, Sunflower Thieves and Mumble Tide. Looks over the shoulder at Golden Void. Can't resist getting Factory Floor and Most Things involved.
All that in an hour.

Rocker

One-hour from Rocker this month, Including new tracks from Allo Darlin; Stereolab; Lightheaded; Kneecap; Half Man Half Biscuit; Sissy Space Echo And The Invisible Collaborators; Jeanines; Neil Young And The Chrome Hearts; Robert Forster; The Repeelers; and The Science Of Words.
Four Tet and Orbital both remix tracks from The Cure's recent Songs Of A Lost World album. The Reds, Pinks, And Purples cover S Gomez, Benny B & Gracie A (whoever they are). The Pop-Up Chefs, featuring two original members of The Chefs, cover - you've guessed it - The Chefs.
This month's Rocker's Shellac Attack is a patriotic 1947 release out of New York City.
As well as little known acts, here's a little known fact: Horror clowns are indeed dickheads.

There are two shows from me this month - a one hour "Cops Special" and my regular Bottom of the Pops outing.
We have three hours of Bottom of the Pops this month kicking off with a tune accusing Lydon of being a fascist by a man wearing a buzzcocks tee. What with the Kneecap comments last month Lydon certainly knows how to stay in the news even if he isn't entirely relevant in 2025.
New tunes form a host of artists including West Australia's Cold Meat, The UK's Sault, The Half Naked Shrunken Heads from old York, the Madalitso Band from Malawi and Tsapkiky from Madagascar to name a few.
One of the pivotal cultural figures in the punk/garage scene in Australia, James Baker, died last month so we feature his work with the early incarnations of the Hoodoo Gurus & The Beasts of Bourbon.
Adrian Sherwood is back with a new tune, his first in many many moons.
Alan Ginsburg's poem America penned in 1956 gets a rinse as it talks as much about 2025 as it does that year.
Oldies from Ian Dury, Bob Dylan, Moby & talking about Dylan check Jesse Wells the man they are touting as the new Dylan, the youth love his songs on Tik Tok and it's not hard to understand why when you hear the likes of "Walmart" my featured song from him. I'll be playing more from him in the upcoming months.

As Prince once said, "it’s June", and this month's sonic jamboree features fighting talk from Xiao Xiao and Zion Garcia, the first single from Public Figures and a last outing for Ghost Bitch, something epic from the archives thanks to Cécilia Angeles and a kids song about not wanting bees to die by Shiny Coin.
Plus a celebratory fist in the air from Toecutter and a beautiful song that ends with the phrase "eschew determinism tonight".

X-Ray Moon

In X-Ray’s June show he will be treating us to mainly new stuff, with the occasional smattering of long-since-forgottens.
Bratakus, the two Scottish sisters are given a well-deserved outing from their new album. Nurse With Wound are back with some tracks in collaboration with Scanner, of which Moon plays us a rather tantalising example.
We are introduced to a marvellous track by Sababa 5 & Sophia Solomon. As well as first time on radio IS who are from Hereford and Swansea.
Among some of the older contributions are Chumbawumba, Peelander-Z, and LOS TEXAO.
X-Ray Moon hope everyone has a fabulous June and hopes everyone likes his show.
