TPN Rock #59 - The New Wave of Heavy Metal (MP3 28.7 mb 31 minutes 21 seconds)
LISTEN HERE
The New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) emerged in the late 1970’s… NWOBHM reacted against the artifice of contemporary pop, placing an emphasis on musicianship and amplification… the NWOBHM thrived on volume, speed, and directness, with an idealised working class image… Reviled or ignored by many mainstream critics in both the UK and the US, the NWOBHM nonetheless came to dominate the hard-rock scene of the early-mid 1980s. NWOBHM was musically characterised by power chords, fast guitar solos and melodic, soaring vocals, with lyrical themes often drawing inspiration from mythology, fantasy fiction, and the occult.

[...] I am loving this weeks show (show #59). Sure next week is a decades best of show, and they’re always a scream, but the music this week all holds together, is all superbly strong, and it just clicks. It’s another home run! . [...]

Hey there! I started picking up your show after the Accident Mash podcast came out (I’m a C.C. Chapman fan), and I’m diggin your show. Wish you had a button I could post to my blog in a linky-kinda way, though. …. any plans for that? The lego-guy icon is really cool, btw.
Just wondered. :)
Cheers - The Whimsy.
P.S. I realize this is the pot calling the kettle black, b/c I don’t have a button for my blog (either), but I figured you might have more web-savvy friends than I do (heck, you’re probably WAY more web savvy than I am, full stop), and they might hook you up. I’m still trying to find said web-savvy friends. - W
