To all of our loyal Glacier Rock Show listeners for 6 years, I want to take a moment to share some personal news. Due to the recent passing of my beloved wife, along with several other personal matters that require my full attention, I will be stepping away from the show for a hiatus. This has been an incredibly difficult time for me and my family, and right now my focus needs to be on healing, reflection, and taking care of those closest to me. While radio has always been a passion and a source of connection, I know that taking this time away is the right decision. I am deeply grateful for your support, kindness, and understanding. Your loyalty over the years has meant more to me than words can express. I hope to return to the microphone when the time is right, but for now, I ask for patience as I navigate this challenging chapter—Peace Out, Keep on Rockin'--Your friend, Jon

On "Victory Garden", Young the Giant delivers one of their most cohesive and emotionally resonant records to date. The 11-track album finds the band returning to the organic, collaborative energy that first defined their sound, while embracing the maturity they’ve gained over six albums. Produced with a crisp but warm touch, the record balances shimmering guitars, expansive rhythms, and layered melodies with effortless precision.

Frontman Sameer Gadhia is in top form, delivering heartfelt performances that elevate songs like “Different Kind of Love” and “Bitter Fruit.” Lyrically, the album explores empathy, connection, and resilience, giving the project a thoughtful thematic core centered on “radical empathy.”

What makes "Victory Garden" stand out is its restraint. Rather than chasing trends, the band leans into authenticity and chemistry, crafting songs that feel timeless rather than calculated. It may not be their most experimental release, but it’s among their most focused—an uplifting, beautifully realized reminder of why Young the Giant remain one of alternative rock’s most consistent acts. Join Glacier Rock Show friends across North America as we all enjoy “Victory Garden”.

Peter Frampton’s "Carry the Light" is a triumphant late-career statement that proves the artist still has plenty to say. His first album of new original material in 16 years finds him blending reflective songwriting with the fluid guitar work that made him a rock icon. Co-written and produced with his son Julian, the record carries an intimate, personal warmth that gives the album emotional depth.

Tracks like “Buried Treasure” and “Breaking the Mold” showcase Frampton’s melodic instincts, while collaborations with guests including Sheryl Crow, Graham Nash, and Tom Morello add fresh textures without overshadowing his signature sound. The album balances thoughtful ballads with spirited rockers, all anchored by Frampton’s unmistakable touch on guitar.

What makes "Carry the Light" resonate most is its sense of resilience and renewal. Despite the challenges he’s faced in recent years, Frampton sounds inspired and energized. This is not simply a nostalgic return—it’s a moving, confident collection that reminds listeners why his music continues to matter.

This week's Glacier Rock Show will feature the new album “Ricochet” by Snail Mail released March 27, 2026 through Matador Records. The two-hour show will air across North America on the Pacifica Radio Network and simulcast at home in Alaska on KEUL 88.9 on Sat, May 23 at 8 pm and Sun, May 24 at 11 am.

On “Ricochet", Snail Mail pushes further into widescreen indie rock without abandoning the bruised intimacy that made Lindsey Jordan one of her generation’s most compelling songwriters. The album creates layered, reflective sound filled with shimmering guitars, strings, and hazy alt-country textures.

Tracks like “Tractor Beam,” “Dead End,” and “Hell” capture Jordan at her sharpest, balancing emotional exhaustion with melodic warmth. While some longtime fans may miss the jagged urgency of earlier work, “Ricochet" succeeds as a mature, slow-burning record about mortality, distance, and emotional survival. Join Glacier Rock Show listeners across North America as we explore “Ricochet” by this emerging indie rock artist.

This week's Glacier Rock Show will feature the new album “Peaches” by The Black Keys released May 1, 2026 through Easy Eye Sound, and Warner Records. The two-hour show will air across North America on the Pacifica Radio Network and simulcast on KEUL Girdwood FM 88.9 on Sat, May 16 at 8 pm and Sun, May 17 at 11 am.

The Black Keys’ “Peaches!” is a gritty, spirited return to the duo’s roots, reminding listeners why Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney became such a force in modern rock. The album covers a collection built on blues, garage rock, and raw soul influences, but it feels alive rather than nostalgic. Recorded mostly live with minimal overdubs, the record has an immediate, loose energy that many of their recent polished releases lacked.
Tracks like “You Got to Lose” and “Who’s Been Foolin’ You” hit with swagger and distorted punch, while slower cuts such as “Nobody But You Baby” add warmth and depth. Auerbach’s vocals sound committed and weathered in the best way, and Carney’s drumming keeps everything moving with garage-band urgency.

“Peaches!" may not reinvent The Black Keys, but it doesn’t need to. Instead, it reconnects them with the bluesy, unfiltered sound fans have long wanted back. It’s one of their most satisfying recent records which Glacier Rock Show fans will certainly enjoy.

This week's Glacier Rock Show will feature the new album “Your Favorite Toy” by the American rock band Foo Fighters released April 24, through RCA Records. The two-hour show will air across North America on the Pacifica Radio Network and simulcast on KEUL Girdwood FM 88.9 on Sat, May 9 at 8 pm and Sun, May 10 at 11 am.

https://keul.broadcasttool.stream/play

Foo Fighters’ "Your Favorite Toy" is a sharp, fast-moving return to instinct after the grief-heavy But Here We Are. Across 10 songs and just over 36 minutes, Dave Grohl steers the band back toward punk urgency, favoring blunt-force riffs, shouted hooks, and lean arrangements over arena-sized polish. It feels like a conscious reset—less about grandeur, more about sweat and momentum. It is the band’s 12th studio album and first with drummer Ilan Rubin, whose playing adds snap and restless energy.

Tracks like “Caught in the Echo” and “Of All People” hit hard early, while “Unconditional” adds some emotional weight beneath the distortion. Grohl sounds raw, defiant, and occasionally self-lacerating, giving the record a lived-in honesty. This is a veteran band refusing to coast and will keep Glacier Rock Show listeners entertained.

This week's Glacier Rock Show will feature the new album “Hope and Fury” by British singer, songwriter and musician Joe Jackson released April 10, 2026 through the earMUSIC label. The two-hour show will air throughout North America on the Pacifica Radio Network affiliate stations and simulcast at home in Alaska on KEUL Girdwood FM 88.9 on Sat, May 2 at 8 pm and Sun, May 3 at 11 am AKT.

https://keul.broadcasttool.stream/play

Joe Jackson returns with "Hope and Fury", a sharp, compact record that blends his signature wit with restless musical exploration. Clocking in at just over half an hour, the album feels lean but stylistically dense, fusing pop, jazz, funk, and Latin influences into what Jackson himself calls a “bicoastal” sound.
Lyrically, Jackson remains as sardonic as ever, skewering modern life with humor and irritation in equal measure. Songs like “Fabulous People” and “I’m Not Sorry” balance catchy, accessible arrangements with biting commentary, while “End of the Pier” adds emotional weight through reflective storytelling.

Critically, the album has been received as a welcome return to form, echoing the sophisticated pop of his early work while embracing a more percussive, contemporary edge.

"Hope and Fury" may not reinvent Jackson’s sound, but it reinforces his status as a sharp, enduring voice still capable of surprise. Glacier Rock Show listeners will enjoy this new album from the artist who has entertained us for five decades with 22 studio albums.

This week's Glacier Rock Show will feature the new album “Rise” by American singer, songwriter and guitarist Melissa Etheridge released March 27th through Sun Records. The two hour show will air on Pacifica Radio Network affiliate stations across the U.S. and simulcast at home in Alaska on KEUL Girdwood FM 88.9 on Sat, Apr 25 at 8 pm and Sun Apr 26 at 11 am.

https://keul.broadcasttool.stream/play

Melissa Etheridge returns with "Rise", a deeply personal and reflective album that balances grief, resilience, and renewal. The new album marks her first collection of entirely new material in several years and stands as one of her most emotionally candid works.
At its core, “Rise" is shaped by loss—particularly the death of her son—but it refuses to dwell in darkness. Instead, Etheridge channels that pain into songs that feel raw yet ultimately hopeful. Tracks like “Call You” confront grief head-on, while others such as “More Love” and the title track emphasize healing and forward momentum.

Musically, the album blends her signature raspy rock style with strong country and Americana influences, thanks in part to co-producer Shooter Jennings. The result is a warm, rootsy sound that complements the album’s introspective tone without straying far from her established identity.

While “Rise" doesn’t reinvent Etheridge’s sound, it doesn’t need to. Its strength lies in honesty, emotional depth, and a sense of hard-earned optimism—making it a compelling, heartfelt addition to her catalog.. Join Glacier Rock Stations listeners as we listen to this artist's 17th studio album over her four decade career.

This week's Glacier Rock Show will feature the new album “Indigo Park” from American singer and songwriter Bruce Hornsby released April 3, 2026 through his own label, Zappo Productions. The two-hour show will air across the Pacifica Radio Network and simulcast here in Alaska Sat, Apr 18 at 8 pm and Sun, Apr 19 at 11 am (AKT).

https://keul.broadcasttool.stream/play

“Indigo Park” is a quietly adventurous entry in his catalog, blending his signature piano-driven style with subtle jazz, folk, and classic rock influences.. Across the record, Hornsby leans into atmospheric arrangements and reflective songwriting, creating a sound that feels both intimate and expansive. His piano work remains the centerpiece—fluid, expressive, and often surprising—while understated percussion and textured instrumentation provide depth without overwhelming the compositions.

Lyrically, the album explores themes of memory, change, and emotional nuance, delivered in Hornsby’s warm, conversational tone. There’s a sense of maturity and patience in how the songs unfold, favoring mood and storytelling over immediate hooks. While longtime fans will appreciate the musical sophistication, newcomers may find the record’s subtlety requires multiple listens to fully resonate.
"Indigo Park" doesn’t chase trends or commercial flash; instead, it rewards attention with rich detail and emotional sincerity. It stands as a testament to Hornsby’s enduring creativity and willingness to evolve artistically. Join the Glacier Rock Show as we enjoy this new album from this renown artist.

This week's Glacier Rock Show will feature the new album “Released” from American classic rock artist Lou Gramm, former Foreigner frontman. The new album was released March 27, 2026 through Stray Notes Music Inc. and Rhino Entertainment. The two-hour show will air across the U.S. on the Pacifica Radio Network and simulcast at home in Alaska on 88.9 KEUL, Girdwood, on Sat, April 11 at 8 pm and Sun, April 12 at 11 am.

https://keul.broadcasttool.stream/play

“Released" feels less like a conventional comeback and more like a time capsule carefully reopened. Built from previously unreleased recordings originally crafted in the 1980s, the album blends vintage arena-rock spirit with a sense of reflective maturity. Foreigner fans will immediately recognize Gramm’s unmistakable voice—still warm, gritty, and emotionally direct—guiding each track with authority.
Songs like “Heart and Soul” and “Young Love” capture classic rock energy while leaning into themes of nostalgia, resilience, and personal growth. The production preserves an analog richness, allowing the material to retain its original character while benefiting from modern polish. Rather than sounding dated, the record feels authentic—an honest extension of Gramm’s earlier solo era.

What makes “Released" especially compelling is its sense of closure. Marketed as potentially his final album, it plays like a farewell statement—intimate, unforced, and deeply rooted in his legacy. While it may not reinvent his sound, it doesn’t need to; instead, it celebrates it with sincerity and purpose. Glacier Rock Show listeners will thoroughly enjoy this classic rock album and fresh tracks.
