Sunday 3 March Gary Roberts of SPINOUT UK (Tuesday 5 March, 21:00 repeat)
In his review of the Spinout UK debut album ‘My Kind Of People’ Pete Feenstra wrote “Spinout UK make an immediate impact with music that envelopes the listener and evolves like an amoeba.”
He goes on “They tread a thin line between contemporary stoner rock and electronica, with an 80’s stadium rock sound (think U2 meets early Simple Minds ), on several slowly evolving drones that are part of a musical landscape that reveals itself with each track.”
In this hour special Pete chats to vocalist Gary Roberts with tracks from the album.
