Members of the Fringe (Rock and Alternative music society) playing the best alternative music around, including rock, punk, pop punk, folk, thrash, death and black metal and many others!
We take requests too!
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.

Join Sacha and Lewis for a jaunt through the dusty pages of a rather hefty encyclopedia. Tune in to recieve the guideline fact amounts, with a healthy dollop of silliness to help wash down all that daunting knowledge. Side effects may include actually learning the odd thing. Each week the presenters will select a number of entries from the encyclopedia, and discuss them in a light-hearted way in the hope of making the information palatable.
From brand new metal tracks to old classics, anything goes in this weekly celebration of metal here on URY! Requests of any sub-genre are encouraged and we'll play as many as you can. As long as it's loud, we'll play it to liven up those quiet late-night study sessions.
Less than a year after boxing took centre stage for the opening ceremony of Roses 2015 it's back in the spotlight as "The Fighter" comes to York.

Listen to the drama of 9 amateur bouts to see which York students will triumph like Rocky and which will end up just biting the dust.
The EU4IA (euphoria) experience is tailored to be one riddled with confusion. Tackling the abstracts of dance and electronic music is a challenging, yet rewarding endeavour. Be it industrial sounds or ambient soundscapes, the journey is worth your time.
A guide through music for looking inwards on yourself. Close your eyes and join me for an hour. I'll say some words, I'll play some sounds or songs, and we'll hopefully all feel a little better at the end of it <3
Some ancient relics are just waiting to be dug up, their beauty and cultural value just begging to be displayed and dissected once again. Some however should probably stay buried.
