Excited for a show filled with new music!

September 1, 2015September 1, 2015 your tuesday afternoon alternative Radio Show Bottle Rockets, Good Luck Year, Grenades!?, Me & Mountains, Moira, New Music, Robyn Hitchcock, Tashaki Miyaki, The Apache Relay, The Fratellis, The New Old Fashioned, Wilco

Such an amazing time for new music in the Gem City that we can barely contain ourselves – it all feels like an incredible dream!

We simply could not be more excited about the show tomorrow… premiers from so many great bands that we keep pinching ourselves because we just have to be dreaming, right?

We will be playing a great new songs from Dayton’s own Moira – ‘Midwestern Waste’ off of the Asleep/Repeat/Awake EP which you can download tomorrow night after our show because they are giving it away as a free download on their Bandcamp page moirabandofficial.bandcamp.com! If you have not seen one of their recent concert – trust us, you want this song and you want it badly! Oh yeah.

One of our favorite Dayon bands Me & Mountains have new stuff for all of us. ‘Gold’ is from their yet untitled upcoming fourth record recorded with Micah Carli at Popside Recording Studios. The band is several songs into their recording with Carli and based on this track alone – the future looks good for Me & Mountains and your ears!

We are also fortunate to have a track from Good Luck Year‘s Tinder for the Fire EP with ‘Temporary’ which they will release during their set at Dayton’s Music Art and Film Fest!

And not to mention the guys in The New Old-Fashioned have their sophomore record, Low Down Dirty Summer Nights headed our way on September 26th! You can go see these Midwestern barn burners at Gilly’s in Dayton, Ohio on the 26th and pick up a copy of this fine record! The band has captured the intensity of their live sound without sacrificing the harmonies and soul that make them a band not to be missed!

That is enough reason to listen right there music lovers! Solid music craft is alive and well!

We will also discuss the upcoming Dayton Music Art and Film Festival slated for September 18th and 19th as well as playing new music from many diverse and exciting bands such as The Bottle Rockets, Line & Circle, COLD BEAT, Sink Tapes, Wilco, La Luz, The Wheel Workers, Bad Bad Hats, Sea Of Bees,Grenades!?, McGuff and the Dumpster Fires, The Apache Relay, and The Fratellis to name a few of the bands with new tunes that we will spin for your listening pleasure!

Of course, what is a Tuesday without some cool interpretations of past music? We have an amazing cover from Robyn Hitchcock and a surprisingly atmospheric lo-fi 80s cover from Tashaki Miyaki! Where else would you get all of this indie musical goodness?

Join Dr. J from 3-6pm on wudr.udayton.edu! Remember you can always call in requests to 937-229-2774 too! See ya!

This week we celebrate the New Split EP from The New Old-Fashioned and The Repeating Arms

June 16, 2015June 16, 2015 your tuesday afternoon alternative Dayton Music Dayton Music, New Music, New Show!, The New Old Fashioned, The Repeating Arms

This week we are beyond excited about new music from two of our favorite Dayton, Ohio bands – The New Old-Fashioned who are already finishing up their sophomore full length hot off the heels of The Ladies 7″ record and The Repeating Arms who always are incredible in all that they do!

The two bands are not only “splitting” a six-song EP ‘Hilltops and Highways’ but in the truest sense of collaboration these two bands recorded and worked directly with each other on the songs. No where does this shine more brightly than on the tracks that open and close this EP. County Jail Hymnal showcases the vocal abilities of the singers of both bands. This lonesome (dare we say Hank Williams-eque) plaintive aching song demonstrates what is captivating about both of these bands: quality song-craft! And the combination of both bands on ‘Some Nights” is a powerful gestalt of the vocals, guitars, steel, drums, and more. Rarely has a song taken on such real authentic urgency. And the ending of that tune has to be experienced. Heartbreak and sadness are simply palatable in the songs on this EP; throughout it you have fine musicianship, excellent chemistry and all around exemplary effort among the musicians.

The fact that they have collaborated on-stage so much is well demonstrated in the work on these songs. ‘My Heart Still Loves You’ has Kent Montgomery of The New Old-Fashioned sounding like a countrified version of Matthew Sweet. We bet that Sweet wishes he could sound like that! While ‘Radio Waves’ – a real song about the devastating loss of a radio station to water damaged is powerfully evoked by David Payne. When he sings about ‘the signal getting weaker…” you feel the sense of losing a musical friend. And ‘Honey’ demonstrates why The Repeating Arms should be household names. Forget what you hear on country, folk, and alt-country radio – this is “the Real McCoy.” When Harold Hensley pleads with Honey not to go out tonight…” the hair on the back of your neck stand up. These musicians capture something that cannot be bottled and sold from a shelf.

You can see these bands play these songs on June 27th in Dayton at Gilly’s Jazz!

So join us this week from 3-6pm (eastern) as we play the songs on this incredible EP on WUDR – where we live our motto “Support Your Local Music Scene!”

Of course, you can also count on a wide variety of terrific indie, folk, country, and more on the program tomorrow. We have tons of new music from so many… hang on to your hats: Waxahatchee, Lucero, Ryan Adams, The Mowgli’s, Vaadat Charigim, Thee Oh Sees, Mac McCaughan, Timeshares, BRONCHO, Great Lake Swimmers, Alvvays, Bully, The Mountain Goats, Built to Spill, Smug Brothers, Mittenfields, Charming Disaster, Gringo Star, and more!

You can also expect some classic indie with Guided By Voices, The Afghan Whigs, and Teenage Fanclub!
