Your go-to show for all kinds of tuneful rock. Some courageous souls released new music in the gap between Christmas and New Year, among them Lovebites, Circu5 and Helix. In addition to that, we remember the late Chris Rea, plus there are songs to gladden the hearts of Rammstein, Lenny Kravitz and Iron Maiden fans and much more. Keep up to date with the latest about the show (which this coming Tuesday will be a themed show, because there was precious little released over New Year and nothing that fitted this show’s remit) by following me on Twitter @BethCharleswor5.

Your selection box of rock from musicians with a gift for melody. No albums this week, but singles ranging from Dragony feat. Brittney Slayes to Myrath and from Austen Starr to Zachary Baker (yes, that is Zacky Vengeance; no, he doesn’t sound at all like you’d expect). Plus a Tony Moore song I’ve seen him playing live recently, Pat Benatar belting out one of her biggest hits and Lemmy’s festive collaboration with Billy Gibbons and Dave Grohl, to name but a few.
