Yellow Brit Road 10 October 2021: Synthpop History, FOCUS Wales, Singaporean Shoegaze

What didn't happen on the Yellow Brit Road this week? Treading down this leaf-strewn path, we had word from an authority on the 80s, Trevor Horn, touched down in Wrexham for the incredible FOCUS Wales festival (fyi they had a tiny Canadian showcase week too. Showcase festivals are the best things in the world and they can have everything), had some great synthpop releases, talked about the rise of shoegaze and indie scenes in south eastern Asia, and had great submissions and music per usual! Our setlist for this week had Erasure She Drew The Gun ĠENN Clwb Fuzz IDLES Baba Ali Jaz Karis The Institutes Youth Sector (my new favourite band) Michael Gallagher Daniel Romano (who never misses the mark) Subsonic Eye The Garrys Toronto rockers The Sadies Find this week's (mostly complete?) playlist here (I've included the song Trevor Horn talked about for anyone who was curious). Do try and support artists directly, all Bandcamp links above are 100% fresh and ethically sourced. x Miscellaneous links to stuff mentioned on the show: The Rockonteurs podcast, FOCUS Wales festival, the new Christian Fitness release (I chat a lot don't I) Do touch that dial and tune in live!
