From The Bottom Of The Record Box

Savannah Pope New Release - STOP PRESS We had a last-minute inclusion to the show this week. Friend of the show Savannah Pope has a new release just yesterday (30th November 2018). Because of this, Savannah's publicist Lesley Zimmerman reached out to us to give us the heads up on the new release. It meant some dashing to the studio to do an out of hours edit, but to us, and hopefully our listeners, it was worth it. The rest of the show has new music from The Lone Bellow among other delights. In addition, we welcome Jordan to the show to introduce his Listener Recommendation by Tom Misch. In addition, Tobin hits us with new music from Big Wild and I get all retrospect with my vinyl spin of Rodney O and Joe Cooley. Furthermore, Sigur Rós bookend the show. Firstly though, before we get cracking please take a moment to drop by Facebook and give us a like. Secondly, try out our Instagram channel too. Our social media is the place to keep up with day-to-day happenings here at Record Box HQ. Track Listing Glósóli Si

We have 2 aspiring new musicians on today's show, Minerva and the theatrically bizarre Savannah Pope. Musically diverse as they are, both tracks showcase some fantastic talent. Sadly, from what Abril says Minerva don't have anything in the pipeline. On the other hand, Savannah Pope has intimated that she might be coming to the UK to perform. Yeah, of course, we'll be there. Let's hope that Savannah, a friend of the show, gives us an exclusive interview backstage.

If you are a recording artist just like these two, we'd love to hear from you. Tag us #fromthebottomoftherecordbox and we'll get in touch. We love to play fresh, new music and support the music community. Please rate the show, we love a bit of a slap in the face! We here at Record Box HQ are mere

Mumford and Sons provide a brilliant and musically diverse bookend in today's show. We have a wonderful vinyl play live in the studio, New Music with Lala Lala and Tom McGuire and the Brassholes, an unusual cover track and some good ol' USA Indie with Modest Mouse. We'd also appreciate some feedback so please rate the show and hit us up on Instagram.

And with good reason, it's namesake, the inimitable Ric Flair. Certainly, Ric himself would undoubtedly approve of this tune. Ric Flair is an ex-wrestler with a high degree of ring presence and, forgive the pun, fl

Thanks to Jack from London for the Listener Recommendation in today's show - did we like it? Listen on to find out. But more importantly, do you like it? And if you do, or don't, then why not suggest an alternative to Khruangbin for the show. Get in touch with your Listener Recommendation and maybe you'll hear it on a future episode of From the Bottom of the Record Box. Love the show? Then why not give us some encouragement and rate the show? By the way, does anyone know how to pronounce Khruangbin?

The quite brilliant Some Kinda Wonderful aired on today's show. Tobin remarked how familiar it sounded and asked whether it was a cover. As a result, we did some thorough research for at least 3 minutes. The short answer is that we ha

We have long wanted to showcase the epic Alabama Shakes in our weekly music podcast and here they are! A brilliant choice from Tobin to open the show, let You Ain't Alone blow you into the cosmos with its sublime vocals and musical artistry. Brittany will then bring you back to earth and leave you with tears streaming down your face with the achingly beautiful Joe, live from Austin City Limits. Similarly to our suggestion from Dennis we have a brilliant Listener Suggestion from yesteryear sent in by Eelong. French electro swing gets some well-deserved airplay in this episode as well.

The show is bookended by the epic White Denim, with a cover from the enigmatic The B-52's, new(ish) music from Freya Ridings and we get assaulted by The Kings of Leon.

Track Listing It Might Get Dark White DenimMoments darkDARKDowntown The B-52'sLay Down Son LittleTrani The Kings of LeonLost Without You Freya Ridings - new musicDouble Death White Denim Cindy & Ricky - certainly not new music The B-52's were formed in 1976 with brother and sister Cindy (vocalist) and Ricky Wilson (guitarist). They joined forces with Kate Pierson (keyboards & vocals) and percussionist Keith Strickland. The band was named after the outrageous beehive hairstyles sported by Pierson and Wilson. Strickland also suggests the band's name came to him in a dream of the band performing in a hotel lobby. Their first single Rock Lobster was an underground success selling over 2000 copies. The song later became synonymous with the band. This cover track is from their first album, self-ti

Daniel Johnston bookends today's show with in-between bits courtesy of Benjamin Clementine, Trampled by Turtles and even Slash among others. Plus we uncover the sampled track featured in a stadium-filling indie classic, by accident.

Daniel Johnston bookends our show today. A singer-songwriter widely regarded as a significant figure in alternative music scenes. Much of Daniel Johnston's catalogue is home recorded and often cited as being "childlike". In the show, Richard talks of his personal experiences with family members and Daniel but sadly this episode in his life has long since been over. We discussed in the show that Kurt Cobain wore a t-shirt with artwork from Daniel's Yip/Jump Music album. This is actually incorrec

We remember The Bandit, the silver screen legend, with a couple of songs featured in the movies of Burt Reynolds and we have the brilliant Black Honey bookending the show for us. If you'd like to suggest a track for us to play on the show, or you are an aspiring musician who'd like us to showcase your work then get in touch.

Izzy B. Phillips, lead singer and guitarist fronts the band, whose fashion taste is other wordly. She recently attended London Fashion Week in a McDonalds inspired outfit and in our eyes looked fantastic, her outfit practically sneering at the global fashion houses. She is joined by the equally well turned out guitarist Chris Ostler, bassist Tommy Taylor, and drummer Tom Dewhurst, all of whom hold down day jobs as the band

The Cure remind us how beautiful the 80s were. We open and close with the wonderful Metronomy, and we have a classic cover from Seal. Go ahead and subscribe to the show here - thanks.

Feel the Illinoise! Sufjan StevensLife on Mars SealI Wish I Was the Moon Neko CaseHeartbreaker Metronomy How an Apple G3 computer changed both our lives "Hi Joseph", goes the imagined dialogue in my head. "What colour G3 did you have, because I had them all, including the original grey box geeky outsider office desktop alienator." Ha! I'm sure we'll never meet Joseph Mount whose brainchild is Metronomy but if we did this is my ice breaker for sure. I've got a few years on our Joseph but the Macintosh G3 that his father gave him (or sold him, accounts of this particular exchange differ in urban myth) and introduced him to certainly changed his direction in life… Then I got an old computer off my dad I and started messing around when I was about sixteen

Join us as the Rock 'n' Roll Doctor is in the house! Radiohead, Joni Mitchell and Marian Hill all spin today along with New Music from MEGA.

Sweet Joni from Saskatoon … Don't go, don't go too soon Neil Young's unreleased love letter to Joni Mitchell, sentiments that we here at From the Bottom of the Record Box certainly feel. Joni Mitchell has been a constant in every music lovers life and right now in her failing health, we can only repay her with our love and gratitude for touching us so deeply with her beauty. There, I said it. Just not as cleverly as Uncle Neil. You too, Neil, are loved greatly by all of us. Thanks for sharing California of the seminal Blue by Joni Mitchell with us Tobin, but li

Ween plays Buckingham Green in episode 4 of From the Bottom of the Record Box plays The Moody Blues as recommended by Dennis from Bolton and relives a 40-year-old classic cover song from Talking Heads.

The Staves surprise Richard in the show today, and Tobin is disappointed with today's cover shot. To cheer himself up, he bookends the show with St Paul & The Broken Bones. Why not subscribe to our show today? You can easily do this here.   Track Listing I'm Torn Up St. Paul & The Broken Bones Facing West The Staves Sweet Home Alabama Rocking Free Yes McAlmont & Butler Resurrection Terence Trent D'Arby Rhythm & Blues Alibi Gomez Is It Me St. Paul & The Broken Bones Music from 4 decades peppers this show, including a brilliant cover of Sweet Home Alabama which seems to have passed Tobin by. Poor lad just doesn't like the song at all, although he could definitely admire the virtuosity of the guitar playing. At one point there are 4 guitars all going at the tune. Personally, I think this is as good as the original song. I was surprised by a track that wasn't planned in the pre-production notes of the show. It certainly is very different to the St Paul & The Broken Bones track that precede

Welcome to another episode with 2 new music tracks from The Wedding Present and Black Belt Eagle Scout and the quiet beautiful Antony and The Johnsons. Like what you hear? Why not suggest some of your favourite music for us to play on the show here? Track Listing Kennedy The Wedding Present Ghosts Made in Heights Margate Sports Team Soft Stud Black Belt Eagle Scout Fistful of Love Antony & The Johnsons Hannah Ray La Montagne Brassneck The Wedding Present The Wedding Present – Bizarro Another great bookend from way in the North with anger management candidates The Wedding Present, fronted by mathematician David Gedge. I've long been a fan of the album Bizarro from my younger days, and I think it still sounds fresh today. Above all, it won Tobin's approval. Gedge has been prolific in output since the band's first LP, George Best. His solo works, instrumental material and the quite frankly weird Ukrainski Vistupi V Johna Peel. This was a mix of Peel Sessions and Ukrainian folk tunes inspired by the guitarist

Welcome to another episode of From the Bottom of the Record Box. This week we have a bookend from Nathaniel Rateliff and The Night Sweats, a great cover song and a surprise new music track. If you would like to hear some of your favourite music played on the show then get in touch.

They are a band that Tobin introduced me to a couple of months ago and as a result, I really enjoy the man's work. Soulful rock music not really made for these times. You can listen to the whole album from which Intro is taken here. Released in March of 2018 it is their second studio album. For instance, I personally recommend
