About me: The Drastic Plastic Program has been broadcasting on Montreal Quebec's CKUT 90.3 since the station's FM birth in 1987. Hatched from a dream to rival the city’s local classic rock radio stations, DP has remained true to its mission statement. Give Good Radio. Its fuel? First and foremost, Rock and Roll. Sweat-soaked t-shirt rock and roll. Ham-fisted three chord chugging rock and roll. Beer-spilling, pogo-pounding, dolphin-chortling rock and roll.
After broadcasting hundreds of band profiles focusing on the indie rock scene from London to New York, Cleveland to Los Angeles, the program has traveled from the sound of snotty nosed wailing brat bastards to the wailings of feedback frenzied - sonic skronk guitars to the wailings of honeysuckled hayseed twang-core. All this without forgetting the program’s devotion to the finely crafted pop song. The sugar tune delight. The Drastic Plastic Program’s original host Doug Ford is still behind the microphone, his ears still intact after years of being stuffed into Sennheisers. Nowadays, Doug has enlisted two new contributors to the Program. Mark B. from the Rock and Roll Report and Armitage Shanks with their respective looks at power pop rock and the British U.K.music scene. As the Drastic Plastic Program’s Three Amigos, they subscribe to the idea .. Does the song trigger a neck'n'head nod? Does it make your toe tap? Then let’s play it.
The Drastic Plastic Program broadcasts 60 minutes live on Monday nights at 10 PM on CKUT 90.3 FM in Montreal. You can also listen on the internet at CKUT , or even download it as a podcast. Check it out.

The Drastic Plastic Program's Friend Space (Top 8)
Static Rain is a 2 piece band from the beautiful Yorkshire town of Keighley. Band members Tony Garthwaite and Jacob Barlow formed the band in 2008, driven by a joint passion for both electronic music and retro synths. The music they produce can be described as electronic pop with catchy choruses and memorable riffs that are prominent in all of their songs, making them popular with a very wide audience.
Following their initial success on MySpace, Static Rain continues to build a solid fan base and a strong reputation as a live act. The band is currently looking for gigs from June 09 onwards throughout the whole of the UK.

Aaaaaand...I just finished listening to last night's fun fest (finally!!) I nearly snorted my coffee all over my keyboard :P Thanks for the vocals, Doug ;)
Thanks Doug! This year the bday is turning into something of a Polish wedding (it looks like the festivities are stretching into next week). Will try to finish listening to the show today - missed it live thanks to catching up with Mrs. Shanks, and my computer at home kept rebooting at minute 38 *L*
Thanks for the Add! Don't forget to check out the free podcasts of Pop Go the Beatles. According to Robin Roberts in her review of the show in the Beatles British Fan Club Magazine: "Whether you're a true Beatlemaniac or a casual fan, these shows are a joy to listen to. They have it all: Interviews, some very rare and unheard of, rare studio outtakes, live performances, and just plain fun that only the Fab 4 can provide. I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to these radio shows and I know you will as well. They're gems that will proudly adorn any Beatles' fan's collection for many years to come". And according to Ronnie of Ear Candy Magazine in his review of the show: "I can honestly say that Pop Go the Beatles is probably THE best Beatles radio series that I've heard - especially from a Beatle fan's perspective and what THEY would expect from a Beatles show" You can find a direct link to the free podcasts through the show's website www.popgothebeatles.com Or just click on the banner below,
