Yellow Brit Road

By Yellow Brit Road CFRC

Come for the pun, stay for the music.
Yellow Brit Road is CFRC's weekly British music show on Sundays from 8 to 9 PM on CFRC Radio Queen's.

We delve into music history, past interviews, bizarre reviews and media, discuss band lore, and do the occasional themed show: eras, regions, dialects, albums, poetry; everything is on the plate!

The podcasted version of this show contains all your favourite band trivia and stories, but the music can be found on posted playlists that accompany each individual episode. Listen live on CFRC 101.9 FM or on cfrc.ca!

Yellow Brit Road: Tara Lily interview!

This week, I caught up with South London-based musician Tara Lily, who combines electronic beats, drones from sitars drawing from Bengali music, and a background in traditional jazz to create complex musical soundscapes to express herself. We talked all about her unique cross-continental sound, her inspirations and influences, shooting her music videos in India and Nepal, spiritualism, jazz in London, and being a woman and young person in jazz music today (amongst many other things!)

Her latest single 'No Way Out' can be found on Bandcamp. Keep an eye out for her album soon!

Kiwi Jr. drop by Kingston! (interview)

Kiwi Jr. drop by Kingston! (interview)

If there's one band who have had a gigantic year, it's got to be Toronto indie rock band Kiwi jr.! After releasing their third album Chopper in August 2022, the band have spent the last 18 months touring Europe and North America, opening for bands (and their personal heroes) like Pavement, Dinosaur jr., Sloan, Guided By Voices, and so many more. And now they drop by Kingston for a date at the Grad Club, Friday night, supported by Queen's student band Girldad.

I spoke to singer and guitarist Jeremy this week for CFRC's Indie Wakeup Call (where you can find me on a Thursday morning on campus with some lovely cohosts), listen on to hear us talk all about that show and Kiwi jr.'s incredible year, and come to the show tomorrow! You bet I'll be there!

Yellow Brit Road: Half Moon Run Interview

Yellow Brit Road: Half Moon Run Interview

This week, I caught up backstage with Conner Molander, guitarist, backing vocallist and multi-instrumentalist proficient in keys and the drums, of the Montreal indie rock three-piece Half Moon Run. The band stopped by Kingston to perform a sold-out show at the city's Grand Theatre, supporting their newest album Salt. We talked about the album and the world tour they embarked on for it, and about their vibrant, vivid, joyous and sometimes emotional live shows.

The interview aired on Yellow Brit Road this week, and here it is, isolated for your enjoyment.

Expect more releases from the band's recent Treehouse sessions, and find the album Salt here. Do try and support artists directly!

Yellow Brit Road 24 September 2023: Muse Absolution

Yellow Brit Road 24 September 2023: Muse Absolution

This week's show is a listening party to mark 20 years of an astounding piece of art in the British music canon of the 21st century: Muse's 3rd studio album Absolution (2003). An album with an expansive and career-defining sound that launched Muse worldwide as a force to be reckoned with in rock music in the modern age, even while the album itself is hard to cage into a single genre: classical orchestral strings, Rachmaninoff-esque Romantic pianos, existential themes and the heaviest basses you've ever heard meld together into a fine work of art on one of Muse's finest albums. Grab your copy of the album and join my guest Vita and I as we redefine our experience of music. You won't want to miss this one.

Yellow Brit Road 13 August 2023: Modern Hip Hop in the UK and Ireland

This week marks the 50-year anniversary of the birth of hip-hop, far away in Bronx in NY, USA. It has since grown in legitimacy to become one of the most popular genres of music around the world. So what's happening right now in the UK and Ireland? We dove into the modern UK and Irish hip hop scenes, looking at some of the unique subgenres hip hop has spawned through collaborations and shared influences, from grime, UK drill, neo-jazz drawing from jazz and RnB particularly in London, grime-punk, etc. We also looked at Welsh and Irish hip hop.

No better way than to honour his legacy than by bringing out the vinyls the band sent to our station in the 1980s, to listen to his fine bass work as it was recorded and intended to be heard. We brought out some CDs sent to us by Iceage as well (for the story behind that, you're going to want to listen to the show!) Plus, Spring Reverb previews!
