New Show, featuring The Turnback

Turnback bandYou know the drill.  Its Tuesday.  Time for another Your Tuesday Afternoon Alternative on WUDR from 3-6pm!

Today on YTAA we are featuring the indie power pop of The Turnback!  Their new record, Are We There Yet? has the perfect combination of solid rock melody, deft harmonies, and well written lyrics backed up with a solid guitar, bass, and drums attack!  Goldmine has a terrific review that we could not agree with more!

All too often music curmudgeons lament the end of rock and roll – there is nothing to get excited about anymore.  Do these folks have ears? With bands like, The Turnback, we say that rock and roll is alive and well. We love the sound of ‘Five Days a Week’,’July’, and ‘A Place for Me’.  And the addition of The Beatles cover ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’ that moves past the psychedelia of the original and pulls out the core of that song with a Smithereens-garage rock sound that was deeply hidden in that classic track – we say that rock and roll is not just safe but full of energy!

Join us this Tuesday as we talk with members of The Turnback about their latest and most impressive album to date!

Amazing early R.E.M. Live Video!

We do not hide from our love of classic alternative on Your Tuesday Afternoon Alternative.

And today Mrs. Dr. J found what can only be described as a classic set!  Recorded by Benjamin R. Clark!  What a discovery!

Picture Time… Remember when Rossonian performed?

We wanted to share some pictures of one of the first bands who came into the studio and played for us!  That night they played Blind Bob’s in Dayton and were just incredible!

Today on Your Tuesday Afternoon Alternative we are joined by the terrific band, Goodnight Goodnight!  We saw them during Holidayton and were simply blown away by how good they were during their set!  You need to check into this band!  One way you can do that is by listening to the show today (remember 3-6pm on WUDR)!

We will talk about their EP Don’t Fade Out which came out this past November and is a great collection of songs about secrets, being overwhelmed, and the meaning that we find in everyday life as it is lived by real people. You should go see them January 16th at the Canal Public House in Dayton, Ohio and in Eaton, Ohio on February 29th at Taffy’s for a free All-Ages show!  See you there! cover170x170
