This week it’s the 300th upload of the Friday NI Rocks Show – just over 6 years since the first one on 27th August 2010. I posted a review of what tracks we’d been playing over the last 6 years a few weeks ago - http://www.rockradioni.co.uk/news/rrni-updates/2793-friday-ni-rocks-show-review-of-the-first-six-years.html
The show this week sticks to the usual format – new releases, local bands and classic rock!!
To mark the 300th Show I have included 3 tracks from 30 years ago – by David Lee Roth, Iron Maiden and Megadeth. Our opening track from the new Tesla live album also dates back 30 years!
I’ve an interview with Joel and Ryan O’Keeffe from Airbourne, that they recorded for AC Promotions, on the Show along with the title track of their new album which is released on 23rd September.
Also included on the playlist are tracks from new albums by Tygers of Pan Tang, Dream Theater (featuring Lzzy Hale), Alter Bridge, Meridian, Psychework and Miss Behaviour (http://www.rockradioni.co.uk/back-stage/music-reviews/2801-ni-rocks-recommends-qghost-playq-by-miss-behaviour.html ).
There’s also the title track of the Lynam EP “Halfway to Hell” which is being re-released as a Deluxe Album version that includes tracks from their earlier releases. I posted an interview with Lynam frontman Jacob Bunton back in 2013 when he was singing with Adler (http://www.rockradioni.co.uk/interviews/1164-ni-rocks-interview-with-adler-frontman-jacob-bunton.html ).
Last but not least there are tracks by four local bands who have gigs coming up over the next couple of weeks – Safire (Ivy, Newtownards on 17th Sept), Selene (Masons, Derry/Londonderry on 24th Sept) and Sinocence & Gasoline Outlaws (Limelight 1st Oct).
