Tom Morello once said that ‘every successful, progressive, radical or revolutionary movement that has ever been seen has had a great soundtrack’. We bring you these soundtracks. Each week we have a different theme and movement, playing the songs that have provided impetus for change and given people a voice.
A show to turn even the lamest of squares into far-out foot tappers.
Over the course of the show, extreme levels of rockabilly will be pumped through the airwaves of URY, from Elvis Presley to The Big Bopper, all with the intention of providing maximum satisfaction.
The show will consist of anecdotes relating to the music in question, explorations into the popular themes and concepts of rockabilly/rock 'n' roll (such as a show dedicated to 'Death Discs'), as well as interviews with individuals who remember watching the rock 'n' roll stars of the 1950s in their heyday. Playing the big hits of the 1950s, as well as with the secret 7" golddust that's been hiding in the attic, this show will provide a roster of early rock 'n' roll and rockabilly that will make you want to turn your fringe into a quiff, your Volkswagen into a Cadillac, and your Carling into a Cherry Coke.

Tune in to The LP Lexicon a show all about long players and their influence on the modern music landscape. In the 1960s the 12" LP was transformed; morphing from a mere collection of songs to a finely curated and artistic expression of musical passion and direction. The birth of the 'album' ushered in a new era of musical creation which moved beyond the 7" single and quick pop hits to something more profound and creative. So, join Harvey as he adds some new LPs to the Lexicon each week and uncovers some of the best ‘album tracks’ in the process.
