Radio Reverb with Tara Rez & Segs Jennings – June 2025

This month’s episode of Radio Reverb with Tara Rez and Segs Jennings took us on a deep, emotional, and electrifying journey through punk, funk, and everything in between. Broadcast on Brighton’s legendary independent station, this show wasn’t just a playlist—it was a tribute, a rebellion, and a call to keep the spirit of underground music alive.

Celebrating Life, Music, and Memory We paid our respects to three powerful spirits who shaped music history in different ways: the genius harmonics of Brian Wilson, the raw power of funk pioneer Sly Stone, and the indelible heart of underground artist Zoë Hart aka Ting. Each tribute track was a reminder of the legacy left behind and the influence they still carry.

Tracks that Stirred the Airwaves:

  • "Do You Wanna Dance" – Ramones
  • "Do It Again" – The Beach Boys
  • "Lucky Discourse" – Dazzle Monroe (Lene Lovich vs Sleaford Mods mashup)
  • "Wait for the Blackout" – The Damned
  • "Unamerican" – Underground Heroes (previously unreleased!)
  • "Everyday People" – Sly & The Family Stone
  • "Floating Away" – Ting (Zoë Hart)
  • "Late Night Session" – Ali Love
  • "Animal" – Skunk Anansie
  • "Wise Man" – Desmond Dekker
  • "Easy Rider" – Sheep On Drugs (brand new release)
  • "Orphan" – Aphex Twin
  • "Are You Somebody" – Lyn Collins
  • "You’re Wondering Now" – The Specials

Highlights We debuted new heat from Sheep On Drugs, spotlighted a viral mashup from Dazzle Monroe, and unearthed an unheard banger from Underground Heroes. Tara shared stories from her recent live gigs, and Segs reminisced about writing sessions with legends like Steve Dub and Ali Love. The vibe was both raw and celebratory.

Tara Rez & Segs on Radio Reverb Rock and Roll Radio: A Journey Through Music, Memory, and Change

️ Tara Rez & Segs on Radio Reverb
Rock and Roll Radio: A Journey Through Music, Memory, and Change
️ Tribute to Colin Jerwood  – Conflict ‘To Live On In Hearts Is Never To Die

This month, the punk community mourns the loss of Colin Jerwood of Conflict, a legend whose voice challenged injustice with unwavering intensity. A regular on the Rebellion Festival stage and a fierce advocate for equality, his legacy reverberates far beyond the underground.

On this special episode, Tara & Segs paid heartfelt tribute — spinning “The Serenade Is Dead” and “Cut The Crap” ft. Benjamin Zephaniah, from Conflict’s final works.

“His voice and message continue to inspire those who seek to challenge injustice and advocate for a more equitable world.”

Punk, Poetry & Political Edge

This is rock and roll radio redefined. Featuring tracks from:

  • The Ramones

  • Ruts DC

  • A powerful new release from Charlie Harper

  • Fierce newcomers like Loveworms

  • And the original Ruby Throat

Each episode weaves together raw punk ethos with poetic fire — from John Cooper Clarke’s Beasley Street to Zephaniah’s lyrical resistance. Tara & Segs stitch together every track into a larger truth — about the world as it is, and how we can change it.

Soundtrack to a Scene: Rebellion, Club FFRUK & Beyond

Founders of FFRUK Nights & FullFuture.co.uk, Tara & Segs channel their fire through live events too.
Join the next event June 14, 2025 under a Full Moon:

  • Pushy Pushy Pushy

  • Groove Toys

  • She Made Me Do It

  • The Widows

  • I Wanna Be Sedated (Ramones Tribute)
    ➕ Open Mic After-Hours Jam
     Brighton

Vaults of the Underground: Archiving the Rebellion

In a deeply emotional moment, Tara revisited unreleased recordings with Andy, her long-time collaborator now living with progressive MS. Together, they unearthed rare tracks like “Camden Town” and early EPs that shaped their scene.

These never-digitally-released gems will soon be archived — a rebellion against forgetting.

Radio Reverb with Tara Rez & Segs Jennings - Viva la Reverb!

https://www.mixcloud.com/RadioReverb/voices-of-the-underground-tara-rez-segs-jennings-channel-punk-poetry-protest-on-radio-reverb/

Broadcasting straight from the soul of Brighton, this week’s episode of Radio Reverb was nothing short of a sonic odyssey. Hosted by punk rock royalty Tara Rez and the legendary Segs Jennings, listeners were treated to an exhilarating hour of conversation, revolutionary music, and electrifying insight. As always, the show is repeated Monday and Wednesday on 97.2FM, DAB+, and streaming at radioreverb.com.

Musical Roots & Punk Legacies

Kicking off with iconic krautrock pioneers Neu! and then gliding through the raw poetry of Poly Styrene, the playlist paid homage to boundary-breakers. Tara and Segs delved into stories behind the tracks — from Joy Division to Malcolm X remixed by Keith LeBlanc — threading together the political and the personal in a tribute to music’s transformative power.

Viva la Rock - 25th Anniversary Tease

Segs dropped exciting news about the upcoming Vive la Rock 20th Anniversary bash, confirming a secret special 'Human Punks' set. Though the show is officially sold out, whispers of additional tickets teased listeners with hope. The club night scene also got a boost with details about the June 14th event at Rez Studios with bands like Pushy Pushy Pushy and She Made Me Do It on the lineup.

Shout Outs & Exclusive News

An emotional nod to Henry Rollins, with whom Tara shared a powerful connection and radio kinship.

A world exclusive: FFR UK is digitally releasing Damidge's new EP, a DIY masterpiece that screams underground cool.

Stories of John Peel, TV Smith, and gigs that shaped lives - including a surprise reveal that "No Fury" by Tara's own The Duel was a sleeper hit among soldiers, thanks to BBC World Service airplay.

Spoken Word and Sonic Revolution

The climax? Malcolm X's "No Sell Out" — a track so timely, so blisteringly real, it echoed the urgency of now. In the tradition of Rollins and Peel, Tara and Segs blend activism with artistry, making Radio Reverb not just a show, but a movement.

Beltane Vibes, Protest Sounds & Love

Tara Rez on Radio Reverb with Segs Jennings - May 1st Show

The shift from spring into summer has always felt magical — Beltane is here and with it, transformation is in the air. This week’s Radio Reverb show (1st May 2025) was alive with connection, protest, love, and raw creativity.

Outside, surrounded by nature, the show began flowing like the Beltane fires themselves. We vibed to the classic Love Is The Drug and spiraled into reflections on love, poetry and rebellion — from T Rex's timeless Beltane Walk (a nod to the poet within Marc Bolan) to the urgent sounds of modern protest.

Kneecap stormed in with razor-edged rhymes and political fire, making waves globally and standing firm for identity and resistance. Conflict returned after two decades with Cut the Crap, featuring the late great Benjamin Zephaniah — poetry, anger and truth woven into sonic defiance.

There were moments of tenderness and nostalgia too — from Rhoda Dakar’s Version Girl to Alabama 3’s Hypo Full of Love, all wrapped in stories and shared memories.

From Brighton to Palestine to Belfast to Scotland and back again, the soundtrack was rich, rebellious and resonant. That’s what radio is for.

Listen again & feel the pulse of it all —

.

Until next time — stay tuned, stay curious, and stay connected
