I was delighted to welcome back Luke (Riffs/Vox) & Keith (Drums) of Dog Tired to do an exclusive track by track overview of their soon to be released fifth album 'The Red Verse'. This is literally the soundtrack to the apocalypse with riffs so intense that they sear through flesh, a heaviness that crushes and distorts the mind along with monstrous vocals that could summon the great Cthulhu! Keith and Luke walk us through all the tracks and of course there's plenty of craic as well

It was a pleasure to welcome back Steve Hobson (drums) & Ian Booth (guitars/vocals) of Haint and Fredy Moita (guitars/vocals) of Nomadus to the show. Steve contacted me a few weeks back in relation to a charity gig he was putting on for raising much needed funds for cancer charities in Northern Ireland.
Haint had been off the live circuit since last November when Ian was diagnosed with Lymphoma. It was his diagnosis, as well as others that Steve knew who were battling, or in some cases had tragically lost a battle with cancer quite recently that spurred him on to raise funds in support of Cancer Focus, Belfast City Hospital Cancer Unit and Southern Hospice Trust.
