Like a military coup on culture Pop Goes The Revolution returns for a second series of delivering you the finest new music you will never have heard before, as well as all the latest news and events from the world of film, fashion, art, and everything else that makes up pop culture.
Pop Goes The Revolution is the place to hear new music, from independent releases, to unsigned bands getting their first airplay as each week we rummage MySpaces and press releases, to find you the best tunes from completely unknown bands to deliver to your ears. Combined with a mixture of humour, snobbery, sarcasm, and cynicism, the show brings you the insight you need into the Pop Culture world we inhabit.
With X Factor's Hallelujah, Crocs, and the Crazy Frog fiasco all too fresh in people's minds, it is clear that pop culture is in crisis. Shining a torch in the darkness, and giving you the lesser known treats in life, is Pop Goes The Revolution. So join us every Friday as we dissect pop culture and bring you the real highlights.

back to business
Pop Goes The Revolution // 29.01.10 // The Nameless Episode
This week we'll be playing a whole host of bands never before played on the show. Including tracks by Foxgang, Two Door Cinema Club, Honestly Christian. However we'll also be throwing in a few of our favourites, as George's obsession with Cancel The Astronauts and The King Hats continues. Add to all this the usual features of Nikki's News, Nikki's Nostalgia, A Saving Grace, the return of the Song Battle, as well as an interview with Joe Black organiser of a particularly nice looking (and morally rewarding) gig this weekend, and it all makes a pretty good show. So we'll see you at 5pm right?

Pop Goes The Revolution // 22.01.10 // Woodenbox WIth A Fistful Of Fivers Guest
This Friday we are very pleased to announce the astounding Woodenbox With A Fistful of Fivers will be joining us in the studio.
The band are set to release their début album on the Electric Honey label (Belle & Sebastian, Snow Patrol, Biffy Clyro). The album, called 'Home and the Wildhunt' will be released on April 6th, with the lead single, Draw A Line, available now.
The sextet are one of Scotland's finest bands, and this Friday we will have them in the studio; where they'll be talking about the music they love, the band's experiences, as well as playing a few acoustic tracks live on air.
One of the most promising bands in the country, the band are popping into the studio before their Burn's night headline gig at Tuts on the 22nd, before embarking on their national tour.
To say that the Pop Goes The Revolution are a little excited by this Friday would be an understatement of epic proportions. If you have any questions or messages for the band, send them to popgoestherevolution@googlemail.com. Tune in from 5pm, or catch it on Listen Again, to hear the band.
