I have an hours worth of wonder with new tracks from Don Broco, Cody Frost, Yonaka and Bad Omens as well as a whole bunch of other tracks from across the pantheon of modern rock music. I’ll also be acknowledging the sad passing of the iconic reggae artist Jimmy Cliff. It could be argued that he probably did as much to promote Reggae as Bob Marley without quite the recognition. In fact he broke into the British Charts a good 6 years before Marley and the film and subsequent soundtrack to The Harder They Come was crucial in breaking roots reggae out of Jamaica. Rest in peace Jimmy

I don't normally trail too much about my The Modern Rock Show but this week I'll be airing my rather splendid interview with Justin Sullivan from New Model Army. I met up with him last week and he was very generous with his time. He's well worth listening to about all kinds of stuff.. It's on RadioReverb at 6pm on Wednesday as well as 3pm on newdawn.fm on Friday. Tune in, there's a whole bunch of great tunes too.
