Join Mark as he takes us through another two hours of his favourite new music, with brief glances at reissued gems from the past and a general focus on the interesting, the odd and the unfairly overlooked.
Rocker - September 2023
A two hour show from Rocker this month, including new tracks from Wreckless Eric, Cult Figures, Soft Play; Jeanines; Crabber; The Guy Hamper Trio; Teenage Fanclub; Mt. Misery; Wandering Summer; Swansea Sound; and Sissy Space Echo & The Invisible Collaborators.
There's electronica from Solee; Kadosh; and a collaboration between Marc Romboy, Dimitri Andreas, and Marlene Schuen.
There's a track from the amazing new album by Paul Rooney; a dub version of a Hollie Cook song; and The Feelies cover The Velvet Underground.
This month's Rocker's Shellac Attack is a 1929 comedy foxtrot out of London, which was years later covered by the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah band. There's also a newly released track from the archives of Bonzos' frontman Vivian Stanshall.
As well as little known acts, here's a little known fact: The historic opening track of this month's show was recorded in Manchester's Free Trade Hall, the facade of which still stands, as part of the Radisson Edwardian Hotel, the setting for Paul Rooney's track 'Dear Guest', which is played later in the show.

Sean Hocking - September 2023
This month on Bottom of the Pops we are particularly excited by the debut by UK band Jazz Maps. They sound and smell new and fresh and their album is without a doubt my favourite new thing this month.
That said, not far behind come Canada's The Retail Simps, who have just released a glorious pair of ramshackle rock n roll songs that sound like the best bits of the Velvets and the Modern Lovers + their own XO Sauce to finish off the dish, on constant repeat here at BOTP HQ.
August was another sad, music heroes have gone to the great stage in the sky, month. Robbie Robertson & Rodriguez for starters and more keenly felt in our neck of the woods one of Britain's greatest visual artists of the last 100 years, his work will reverberate for centuries to come. Jamie Reid. Never mind down in Australia the quiet passing of Louis Tillett the unsung genius of Australia's great flowering of underground rock music in the late 70's and early 80's, I feature 3 of his songs in the hope that you will devour the rest of his catalogue.
We've also got new tunes from M.Ward, Woods, Jah Wobble (his releases this year are stunning), Jungle, Julian Cope and even Black Grape, it's actually very good.
Talking of surprisingly good, is, the teaming up of Lol Tolhurst, Budgie, Jack Knife and James Murphy. It sounds as though it could be a dog's dinner but actually their track Los Angeles is as sharp as a tack.
