Featured this week…
Every 1-2 weeks we select albums and tracks for more frequent airplay. These can be new releases or reissues.
How do we make our selection? We use feedback from presenters and reviewers, and their opinions at www.getreadytorock.com
The aim is to signpost new artists where possible but not always the most obvious track or single and/or albums/artists worthy of further investigation. A selection of these tracks are previewed in our weekly ‘New to GRTR!‘ sequence.
Follow the playlist in real time via our Playlist section which also links to associated album reviews.
You can also follow the playlist via Twitter..
