2: MOONSORROW – Tuleen Ajettu Maa (Spinefarm) – A nine minute slice from the band’s twenty six minute epic from their recent two track album “V:Havitetty” – The gloriously ambitious fifth album from the band from Finland. And the other track is longer! This is what we want, half hour long epic folk/death metal prog-outs, we’d play the whole thing but hey, we only have an hour long show – www.moonsorrow.com

3: SLEEPYTIME GORILLA MUSEUM – Puppet Show (The End) – A track from Oakland’s finest Rock Against Rock outfit and the forthcoming album In Glorious Times, oh how we’ve been waiting to get our hands on this one (release date May 29th).

We’re talking high wire pronkoid adventure - the whole album is a masterpiece and you will be hearing lots more of it from us – www.myspace.com/sleepytimegorillamuseum or www.theendrecords.com 

4: LAST DAYS OF LORCA – Warmaart (demo) – A fine demo, beautifully packaged, tactile art, tactile music and rather promising post-rockish/Radioheadish flavours from Chichester - Next gig is the Chichester Uni Summer Ball on May 4th, the next London show is at the Pleasure Unit on May 22nd Find out more at www.myspace.com/lastdaysoflorca

5: STEAKKNIFE – Sell Your Children (Boss Tuneage/Rookie) – Punk rocking Germans with a Jello bite, put them punk on ebay and if not one bids cut them up and sell the body parts. A track from the new album, Parallel Of The Dead - released last week – www.bosstuneage.com 

6: ANTHRAX (UK) – They Got It All Wrong (Small Wonder) – Slice of gloriously raw old school 80’s anarcho punk just because they e,mailed us today (via My Space natch, Murdock aiding Anarchy, we do like that, should we be paranoid? Are you paranoid enough?) to say they were busy right now collecting all their old tracks together to put out on one album – go keep up with them at www.myspace.com/anthraxuk

7: THE CHINESE STARS – LEFT BRAIN (Three.One.G) – Out of the ashes of the mighty Arab On Radar and Six Finger Satellite, including Eric Paul and Craig Kureck, with an album of classic American spiky new wave innovation called Listen To Your Left Brain.  www.thechinesestars.com or www.threeoneg.com

8: DEATHQUNT – Hamslam (BigFilthyJazz) – A filthy dirty grind/jazz Zorn flavoured three piece straight out of Leeds (via Holland so it seems), this is a demo/download thing, seems they’re recording ‘properly’ right now – go explore via www.myspace.com/deathqunt 

9: 65DAYSOFSTATIC – Primer (Monotreme) – What do we need to say about 65? New album out next Monday, does everything you want, the best band in England. They’ve done just what they need to do, they’ve managed to both make and album that sounds essentially 65, they’ve captured it all and they’ve managed to progress once more – www.65daysofstatic.com

10: SUBTERRANEANS Feat DUDLEY SUTTON  –  Jerusalem (download) William Blake Poetry, the music of the Sunterraneans and a piece to celebrate his 250th birthday that was performed last Friday just around the corner from the Resonance studio in Saint Giles In The Fields Church, London – you can download it and more and fine out about further events via www.myspace.com/williamblake250 

11: ONE MORE GRAIN – Northern (Victory Garden) – New release (at last) from an always rewarding label and an almost spoken word track that really does take you on a journey North – a track from the Pigeon English album that came out this month – serious genre defying other rock - www.myspace.com/onemoregrain

12: GODDESS – Grackle (demo) From their beautiful 13 track demo/album, they sound like they’re from deepest ye olde Derbyshire, they’re actually from Brooklyn, New York and the whole album is wonderful, folk and Madrigals and warm psychedelia and good enough to say they have a Sandy Denny feel - www.myspace.com/goddessisthemind

13: OURLIVES – Haunted By My History (demo) – The band from Iceland who’s debut single is out in May and who just completed a UK tour yesterday, we played you the instrumental version last time around, now they have vocals on there – epic rock, save all your sentences!  www.myspace.com/ourlives

Played again because so many mailed and asked about it last time/ A meeting between The Thing and Cato Salsa Experience, a collaboration that first came to be at the Kongsberg Jazzfestival in Norway in 2004. Is this the best version of the classic since Black Flag ripped it apart? I didn’t ask that, Thurston Moore did.

Its brief? To provide a radical alternative to the universal formulae of mainstream broadcasting. It features programmes made by musicians, artists and critics who represent the diversity of London's arts scene, with regular contributions from Billy Jenkins, Savage Pencil, John Bisset, Mike Barnes, Matthew  Glammore, Peter Cusack, Caroline Kraabel, Clive Graham, Viv Corringham, Chris Cutler, Charlie Dark, Magz Hall, Harmon E. Phraiser, Paul Hood, These Records, Dave Draper, the Kosmische Club; guests like Faust, Gavin Turk, Shirley Collins and The Magic Band; and numerous one-off special broadcasts by artists on the weekday "Clear Spot". 

Resonance104.4fm is bringing a multitude of experimental sound, new music, radio art and interaction to the capital's airwaves. Resonance104.4fm broadcasts from the heart of London and is simultaneously streamed on the web at www.resonancefm.com where you can also check out our full programme listings.  Resonance104.4fm is the only station of its kind in the UK, providing access radio for London's arts community.

Imagine a radio station like no other. A radio station that makes public those artworks that have no place in traditional broadcasting. A radio station that is an archive of the new, the undiscovered, the forgotten, the impossible. That is an invisible gallery, a virtual arts centre whose location is at once local, global and timeless. And that is itself a work of art. Imagine a radio station that responds rapidly to new initiatives, has time to draw breath and reflect. A laboratory for experimentation, that by virtue of its uniqueness brings into being a new audience of listeners and creators. All this and more,  Resonance104.4fm aims to make London's airwaves available to the widest possible range of practitioners of contemporary art.
