Tune in at 8pm as we serve up the freshest tracks that have caught our attention this week, and guess what!?!

We are kicking off the show with LOCAL LEGENDS Big Alcatraz as well as Ora Nish and Matty G Rock not to mention our very favourite HIPHOPPEROO Lachy Hamill!

HELLO New Brew Crew and GOOD NEW BREW to YOU! Tonight I (Jase!) will be flying solo as my dear partner Jolene has DEFECTED to the MAINLAND for a few days. Yes, she was seduced by the sunny beaches and palm trees of the QUEENS LAND.

I knew something was up when I found her hugging the heater while moaning about the cold rather than wearing shorts and drinking a BOAGS at the Harvest Market like a good Tasmanian should!

BUT I have remained loyal to the PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF TASWEGIA and tonight I CAST OFF THE CHAINS of commerical music and bring you the finest MUSICAL TREASURES created by the BRAVE and DEDICATED ARTISTS of this FINE LAND and perhaps some others.

Our NEW BREW SPOTLIGHT tonight shines on Meres and their new release WORRIED SICK!

Its a dark and chilly night and you're tucked up in bed. "Phew!" you think. "Those vampires plaguing Tasmania sure are a nuisance! Good thing they can't come in without my invitation!"

But then you hear a spooky scratching noise at the window, as if someone was dragging their long crooked fingernails across the glass. But you live on the second floor! Maybe they have a ladder. Best check to be sure.

"I sure hope it isn't a vampire trying to get in!" you think as you pull back the curtain.

But OH NO it IS a scary vampire!

"Let me in, dude," says the vampire. "I want to play jenga with you!"

"No way!" you reply. "You're a vampire and will probably eat me!"

"That's just prejudice!" he retorts. "Ok, I get it, jenga sucks. But check this out - I have a CD of great new music from JASE N JO from New Brew! Let me in and we can listen to it together!"

"That explains your community radio tshirt," you say suspiciously. You want to listen to some amazing tunes but this may be a trick! "Who's on the show?"

"WHY tonight they're highlighting the incredible new EP "I'm Camera" from the spooky and sultry SOFIA ISELLA. And they're also playing new music from: This Space Is Ours, ChillCheney, Osska Perrett, Corlyx, MK, Lachy Hamill, Just Another Day, Tina & The Hams, The Sugar Beats, SangLien, Asparagus Soop, Haptics, Meres, Teens, Maddy Jane, NGAIIRE, 𝐌𝐎𝐒𝐒, This Space Is Ours, 1300 & June Jones AND maybe more, who knows how late they will go!?"

"WOW that does sound like a fantastic line up of incredible artists!" you say, genuinely impressed at the incredible lineup of fantastic artists. "But why do I need to let you in to get a mix CD? I can just listen to it on the radio or even on a streaming app on my phone. ITS 2025, NERD!"

"Curses!" cursed the vampire. "My plan has been foiled! Can't you just let me in anyway? I promise not to eat you."

"I can literally see you crossing your fingers," you reply. "Anyway, its not long until the show starts at 8pm! I better get into my radio listening pants!"

"You can also stream it online," yells the vampire as you close the curtains. "Link in the comments!"

Well Krakens, its like we have gone back in time, to a time when Jase prgrammed and I had no idea what music was on the show. But like the naughty kid at Christmas sneaky peeking at the presents, this kraken has taken a peep at what is installed for tonight.

and hot new tracks to heat you up on this frosty night from:

MILKSICK
Ingrid Bergman
The Moving Stills
Lottie McLeod

You’re sitting in a booth in a dark and dingy space night club on a desert world far out in the Outer Rim. You’ve been on the run for the evil space Empire forces for days now and you’re in desperate need of some rest and relaxation. Sometimes, you think to yourself, you're so sick of all these darn star wars.

The bartender glances your way and you gesture to the empty glass in front of you. “I’ll have another space whiskey,” you say.

“That’ll be six space bucks,” says the bartender.

“Here’s ten – keep the change,” you say, throwing a ten space buck chip on the table which is shaped like an octagon for some reason. As he reaches for it, you grab his wrist. “Provided you tell me – I’m looking for someone. Or something..."

The bartender licks his many lips nervously cause he’s some sort of space alien, you know how it is with space bars. “You with the Rebellion?”

“Maybe.”

“In that case, keep your money and ask your question.”

You relax. He’s on your side. “I’ve had a long, hard fight. I need some inspiration.”

“You’ve come to the right place,” says the space bartender. “You
want inspiration? Listen to New Brew, tonight at 8pm on City Park Radio. They have the best mix of new music released anywhere in the galaxy this week. It’s sure to put the space petrol in your space tank.”

“New Brew, eh?” That sounds intriguing, you think. “What are they playing?”

“Why, only the best! They take a new release album and play three songs of it in a feature they call the New Brew Spotlight. This week, it’s the darkwave post punk stylings of Clean Beast. And that’s not all – they’re also playing tunes from:

Couch Wizard
Jeremy Brauns
Dead Mall
Ziggy Ramo
ELEKTRIK DISKO
Robots In Love
UMC
Serenity Uki
LYELL
Sumner
YUSSI
The Full Creams
Vaudeville Smash
SkyDxddy
Ela Stiles
Turtle Skull
Kito
SOFIA ISELLA
Velvet Trip
ZEKAVEO
Nik Janev Music

"Wow!" you say. "What an awesome lineup. Great tunes like that gives me the strength to carry on the fight. Because we all know rebellions are built on hope - but an awesome soundtrack doesn't hurt either!"
