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.
