Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXLV
Here we are in the opening days of September. 2026 is 75% done and with the Stonedead Festival firmly in the rearview mirror (not going to acknowledge Reading and Leeds since they don't acknowledge Rock and Metal anymore), festival season really is done for this year. That does mean that release...

Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXLIV
We've made it to the middle of August, and the last stretch of festival season here in the UK and Europe. Download, Eddfest (for the Iron Maiden fans), Bloodstock and Wacken are a memory, brought back by the sunburn on your skin and the mud in the treads of your boots. Even the ringing in your…

Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXLIII
It's been an eventful few weeks here at Wyrd Ways Rock Show Towers. Not only have we had another heat wave, your "esteemed" host's left eye fell apart again, requiring another dose of emergency retinal surgery. Don't go knocking the NHS anywhere near me - from ringing the Eye Clinic to going…

Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXLII
July rolls around and it's time for another edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show. One day I'll get this back onto at least a fortnightly schedule, but sadly that isn't this month. You know how time gets away from you as life gets in the way? This is one of those times. Anyway... loads of new music…

Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXLI
Welcome to another edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show. Pride Month 2026 is upon us and we have a special shout to previous guests, Porcelain Victoria and Edie Montana for International Sex Worker's Day, which happened on the 2nd. As with every episode, The Wyrd Ways Rock Show focuses on bringing...

Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXL
Welcome back to another edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show. As you've come to expect we’ve got a sprawling playlist that wanders through the best of what’s new and noteworthy. We kick off with the classic Heavy Metal of Generation Steel and Armored Saint, then drift into the more melodic waters…

Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXXXIX
No interview this time on The Wyrd Ways Rock Show, which means the spotlight falls firmly on the music. This edition delivers a packed mix of heavy hitters and underground discoveries, from the intensity of Infected Rain to the classic Thrash of Exodus to the majesty of the undisputed Finnish…

Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXXXVIII
Welcome to the latest edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show. As always, the focus remains on the music and the push to get diverse voices heard. The centrepiece of this show is an interview I did at SOS 2025 with young Manchester-based band, Dacara. Huge thanks to them for the chat. As is the...
-
Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXXXVII
This one took a bit longer to put together than expected. Honestly, I wanted to get it together a couple of weeks ago, but just didn't have the spoons. Anyway... As usual, The Wyrd Ways Rock Show is about new music and forcing a woke agenda down your throats. So a lot of the bands have women in...
-
Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXXXVI
Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXXXVI features special guests Anika McRae (one of the head honchoes of City Of Counterculture) and John Marshall joining me in the studio... erm the room at work we recorded in for this edition. Both of them are more than likely to make repeat appearances. As always, there’s…

Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXXXV
This edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show marks a new chapter for the show, with a fresh theme tune replacing Rat Salad. With Black Sabbath’s retirement and the passing of Ozzy Osbourne earlier this year, it felt like the right time to make the change and usher in something new for the show. In…

Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXXXIV
Okay, as you've probably noticed this edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show is running a little late. For those of you wondering where I’ve been, I’ve been dealing with some vision issues over the past few months. Things were getting pretty bad, to the point where I couldn’t read the screen on my...
-
Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXXXIII
Hello and welcome to this week's edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show. This week's show, as well as all the usual brand spanking new music and interesting bands I've found while trawling social media, there's an interview with "the sex face of Burlesque" herself, originator of Stripknot (yes, you…

Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXXXII
Before we get going with this week's Wyrd Ways Rock Show, Porcelain Victoria (this week's guest) asked me to pass on her apologies for misgendering Bambie Thug. They identify as "they/them", not "she/her" as Victoria said during the interview. No offence meant. So I had a little bit of a fanboy...
-
Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXXXI
This edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show features a special guest star as part of my push to getting more diverse voices and interesting people on the show - fire performer, model, Circus freak, piercer, Paddle Mag Awards winner 2024, Sexual Freedom Awards Finalist 2025, and Alternative Awards...

Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXXX
Welcome to the new edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show! Life got in the way again and I had a mental system crash last weekend, so that delayed everything. That's one of the things that happens when you're dealing with depression and anxiety. I hope that by being open with my own fight, we can...
-
Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXXIX
This week's Wyrd Ways Rock Show comes at a time when our trans siblings are under attack from TERFs like that woman who wrote the Harry Potter books, the UK Supreme Court and even our Health Secretary, Wes Streeting. Please, if you are in the UK, write to your MP expressing your disgust at the…

Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXXVIII
Apologies for the lateness of this "week"'s edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show - I just totally ran out of spoons. I'm only just now starting to be recovered enough to be doing all the stuff needed to put a show together. If you're wondering why I'm referring to cutlery and what that has to do…
more -
Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXXVII
Welcome to the latest edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show. This week's show is packed to the proverbial gunwhales with the usual blend of top quality brand new Rock and Metal, as you'd expect. We’ve got brand-new music from Vanitas and Bloodywood, a taste of Ward XVI’s upcoming album Id3ntity, and…

Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXXVI
It's been a little more than a week since the last edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show, but there is a reason for that. I had an anxiety attack at the pole class I attend on Saturday mornings. That basically meant that Saturday (where I do most of my planning for the new show) was a write-off…

Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXXV
This week's (oops...) edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show was going to be released before International Women's Day, but unfortunately the number of spoons I had available weren't up to the task. Especially after the emotional kick in the balls I received midweek. There's a few more details on my...
-
Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXXIV
Welcome once again to The Wyrd Ways Rock Show. This week, as usual, loads of new releases from bands from all over the planet, showing just what a diverse genre Rock and Metal truly is, despite the best efforts of gatekeepers I like to call The Metal Taliban (there's even an article I wrote about...
-
Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXXIII
Welcome to the new edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show. Apolgies for their being no show last week. The first week in February is a massively busy (and expensive) one for me - both my wife and my son have birthdays. So I literally didn't have the headspace or time to do all the necessary work to…
more -
Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXXII
Yet again proving Gene Simmons wrong, here's another edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show. Seriously, if he was right, I wouldn't be finding so much new stuff to enjoy and play for you. I'd be stuck to playing the "old favourites", and that's when I'd probably give up. What keeps me going is all…
more -
Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXXI
What's in this week's new edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show? Two hours of quality hot-from-the-studio Rock and Metal. Except for the opening track. That's a total classic. Hard to believe it's 35 years oid this year. OK, make that almost impossible. There's also news about a new pole…

Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXX
It's a bit heavier this week. It's also a bit late. I know. I've been somewhat tired the last few days and a bit out of sorts mentally (long-time listeners will know that me and my brain don't get on), so the editing and mixing have been not happening. Something I will mention is that I'm looking...
-
Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXIX
CONTENT WARNING: This week;s show contains adult themes and content. Alongside the usual plethora of new music, I stole at least part of the format for this week's show from the Come Curious podcast. So it's all about looking back on the last year and looking forward to 2025. I also get to have a...
-
Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXVIII
So here it is. The last Wyrd Ways Rock Show of 2024. This one focusses on the bands I discovered in the last 12 months, so may not be what you might have expected. Then again, with me, what's "the expected"? Thanks for listening during this year and I hope that continues into 2025. If you’re in a...
-
Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXVII
Welcome to what's probably the final Wyrd Ways Rock Show of 2024. Some of you will, no doubt, be glad to know there's no Christmas music in this week's show. As per usual, it's all new music. While I'm here, there's some people who need some help. Studio Sevvven in north London is at risk of...
-
Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXVI
CONTENT WARNING: THIS WEEK'S WYRD WAYS ROCK SHOW CONTAINS ADULT LANGUAGE AND TOPICS Running a bit late this week thanks to Apple Music being a c*nt. What do I mean by that? One of the tracks I wanted to play on the show is only available to buy via Apple Music. So I downloaded Apple Music, bought...
-
Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXV
We're in the final month of 2024. From a personal standpoint, it's not been a good year. From a musical standpoint it's been pretty amazing, proving yet again that Gene Simmons is an idiot. Yet again, he's spouting that "Rock is dead". He couldn't be more wrong if he tried. One look at the Wyrd...
-
Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXIV
This is probably the most musically diverse show I've ever done. It's certainly the most non-traditional, I think. I'm finding a lot of interesting stuff by surfing Stories and Reels on Instagram. Of course, as longtime listeners will already know, if I find something interesting, that I like…

Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXIII
The weekly Wyrd Ways Rock Show is back for the time being! There's been so much good music I've been finding recently, I'm making a lot more shows than normal. Not bad, eh? Anyway... if you need it, there's a bit of a TW for mental health problems (mine!) and sex. They're linked together and I've...
-
Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXII
This is an unusual situation, isn't it? Two Wyrd Ways Rock Shows, two weeks in a row?! Is it a sign of The End Times?! With the political situation in the US, it might just be that. Anyway, continuing the policy of getting more women and marginalized communities onto the show (so long as they're...

Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDXI
Not done one of these since July, and it's now November. Oops. Been a busy few months at Castle Wyrd Ways. That's why there's been a big delay. You've listened to the interviews I did at at Stonedead, right? Anyway. As usual, there's loads of new stuff, including tracks from Celavi, Grand Magus…

Welcome to the latest edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show. This month (although I may try to get another one out this month before Stonedead), we're bringing you a solid lineup of new music from across the metal spectrum. As always, we're keeping it real - mistakes, verbal hiccups, and all. But…

Wyrd Ways Rock Show CDIX
May was ridiculously busy this year. So much assignment marking to be done, so I wasn't in the right brain space for the work of putting a show together. Then there was The Final Shape... Anyway, Download 2024 was another mudbath that I'm glad I didn't attend, I can't got to SOS Festival in a...

Wyrd Ways Rock Show CD (400)
Hello again and welcome to the four hundredth (yes, you did read that correctly!) edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show. So I've done 400 individual podcasts as either Wyrd Ways Rock Show or WWRS: The Forge, so for the milestone I thought I'd return to the original numbering and even the original...

This show is running a few days late because it was my birthday on Friday, and I had other things to sort out during the week running up to it. Basically, "life gets in the way". Anyway, welcome back to The Wyrd Ways Rock Show - the podcast/radio show that leaves the mistakes and verbal hiccups…
