JW Show 194: Jon Byrne and May’s Top Ten
Another week with a lively chat room, in part due to the great new singles from Keston Cobblers Club, Billy Vincent, Cloven Skies and our interview with Jon Byrne. It was a special week. Claire and I also unveiled our May Top Ten which you can vote for right now on the website. I still have to do my penance as I lost and now much sport some fake tan around town. Stay tuned for pictures…
Special thanks to David Jordan, Joshua Reid Carswell, Randy Combs, Claire Rozario, Trey Call and all of you who have been sharing, retweeting and just plain supporting the show. We’ve been growing in leaps and bounds over the last few months and that’s down to you. Thank you.

Download If You Get Caught We Never MetRatholeRadio 101 – 12th May 2013
Back once again with another episode of Rathole Radio. Number 101. I can feel eyes burrowing into the back of my head as I publish this live in front of a group of students at my radio and podcasting class. They told me to say that, they’re listening, send help quick! Only messing. The usual mix of music and waffle, hope you enjoy it.
00:00 – Spark Thugs – Catawampus – CC BY-SA Licensed – A bit of rock to open the show. I heard this on CCHits and enjoyed it.
07:31 – Nick Tann – Crazy Momma – License Unknown – One from fellow AMP podcaster Nick Tann. This is his latest single. You can grab it at his website.
——————
11:57 – I’m Bad Like Jesse James – Space Echo – CC BY-NC-ND Licensed – Another one I heard via CCHits, hard to know how to describe this one. It’s just a good listen so enjoy.
19:05 – A chat with guest and fellow podcaster Kevin MacPhail. Host of TuxJam about his new show CCJam.
36:15 – Stormy Mondays – Beneath The Gate – CC BY-NC-ND Licensed – The song selected by Kevin MacPhail of CCJam and TuxJam podcasts. A fine selection it is too. They’re Spanish not Italian as Kevie and I thought.
41:45 – Visciera – Dancing On The Slope – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – A bit of experimental electro for you from Berlin’s Visciera. They’re on the Headphonica label.
———————
45:30 – Antiqcool – Girl In A Room Remix – CC BY-NC-ND Licensed -
52:55 – An audio message from listener Tim Dobson, on a mountain somewhere.
54:42 – 20lb Sounds – Enemies (Rough mix, pre-release) – CC BY-SA Licensed – A sneak peek at the live sessions we’ve been working on for our album. Progress is slow but may this meagre offering serve as slim proof we’re getting somewhere.
61:07 – Ragz Nordset – New August – All Rights Reserved – Taken from a new EP by Ragz. Big thanks to Dave at Mellowtone for tipping me off to this. Really liking the EP, it has a mixture of influences from Kate Bush to Imogen Heap to my ear, plus a good deal of original style mixed in.
70:10 – FM Pilots – No Time To Waste – CC BY-NC-SA Licensed – A bit of catchy melodic pop-rock to finish off with. Another one I heard via the inimitable CCHits.net.
Thanks to everyone who’s supported the show via Flattr or has used the Paypal link. It really makes a difference. It’s very much appreciated and I couldn’t do this without your help. Keep clicking those donate buttons and I’ll keep the tunes coming. Thank you.

Interview: Jon Byrne
Jon Byrne joined us recently to talk about his arduous journey from the strange sidewalks of the small, working class northern England town of Barrow-in-Furness to his now second full-length album, Built By Angels. Along the way were dead wives in wheelchairs, drugs, bands, videos, and a few pints of lager. I’ll let him tell you the story, he’s a much better storyteller than me.

CLARA BARKER
facebook.com/clarabarkermusic
Clara Barker, a singer/songwriter from the Isle of Man, has been writing songs since 1999 and while debilitating stage fright halted her entrance onto the live music scene until almost 8 years after the first song was written, she has been making up for lost time ever since. With sheer determination to ‘get out there and PLAY’, Clara played open mic nights and hustled for support slots – even organising her own very successful SaturdayJam night held at various pubs in the Isle of Man.
Armed with a steadily increasing family of songs, a mercifully decreasing feeling of impending doom and Jake, her trusty Crafter guitar – Clara has played in venues all over the Isle of Man and the UK and has been proud to warm up the audiences of seasoned and established acts including The Christians, Paul Young’s Los Pacaminos, Steve Gibbons & The Dylan Project, Morton Valence, Jon Gomm, Angelo Palledino and Jeff Lang.
Her highly personal lyrics and catchy melodies have won her a steady following on the Island, and an army of loyal fans online. Her debut album – Indigo – (available from all usual outlets) was released in March 2010 to considerable acclaim. A review by Banter Magazine praises Clara’s “lyrical honesty” which is described as “refreshing in today’s musical landscape which, lyrics-wise, is so saturated by faux teenage angst or ambiguity disguised as profundity”
Hard Work & Whiskey – a live EP featuring 4 songs from Indigo, 3 previously unheard tracks and some of Clara’s inimitable ‘chat and bantah’ in between was released in Autumn 2011. Hot on the heels of the EP Clara launched her first attempt to chart over the festive period with her outrageously festive single Christmas In New York. Clara’s second album – The Good Ideas Club Strikes Again – is written and is currently in production. Good times! XD

ROB GOUGH

Rob Gough is an internationally renowned singer, songwriter, and lead guitarist from Liverpool, England. Drawing on a wide range of influences including blues, rock, country, folk and indie, Rob has supported such acts as Midge Ure, Sandi Thom and Son of Dave. Since 2011 Rob has appeared at many festivals and performed at many of Britain’s top music venues with critical acclaim from many within the music industry.

ADE JACKSON
reverbnation.com/adejackson13
‘One of the great Liverpool voices… an unrelenting beat aesthetic and an ever weather-eye from the back streets. A bit of Cave, a bit of Cash, a soupcon of Cohen, and a whole lot of Catherine Street…”
Jonathan Raisin, Lost Voices

JUST BY CHANCE
justbychance.net
Just By Chance are a duo comprised of singer-songwriters Andy Jones & Liz Owen. Drawing on a wide range of influences from folk and bluegrass to more modern pop and rock they have been touring extensively across the British Isles since 2010. They have been played on BBC Radio 2, BBC 6Music, BBC Radio Lancashire and recently supported Joan Armatrading and Midge Ure during their UK tours.

ATRINA: Thrush and Thrasher
ATRINA is a indie rock group out of New Haven Connecticut who released their newest album ‘In Planetary Sugar’ in January of this year. Thrush and Thrasher is in the latter half of the record and we really love the meaty guitars laced with dark vocal inflections in the PJ Harvey vein.
Their label Obscure Me Records describes them as “making music that is equal parts minimalist melodicism, counter-punctual cacophony, and decibel-pushing dissonance. Angular, but accessible. Complex, yet catchy. Eclectic, and electrifying. ATRINA makes ears ring, hearts pound, and toes tap.”

Sensual Harassment: Make Me Human Again
Your favourite elctro duo are back in town. Sensual Harassment have released their second e.p. At last.
Sensual Harassment seem to wistfully draw upon popular music of the past as a way forward – whether it be the glossy pastiche of late 70’s disco in the leadoff track Make Me Human Again, the plastic island pleasure of Capri Suntan, or the synth-pop balladry of Rescue Me, which sounds like a forgotten Blondie hit. Sensual Harassment almost revel in art of blurring the lines of disco, pop and new wave, all while filtering it through their own unique vision, creating something that remains both familiar and new.
Equipped with a clearer vision, an irresistibly melodic new EP and approving nods from the likes of Pitchfork, Vice, XLR8R, CMJ and Dazed and Confused, Sensual Harassment seem destined to be one of 2013’s brightest new stars – in our solar system and their own. (press release).
You can listen and download for free whole album at the band’s site.
