UKNY for March 23

Manchester's Westside Cowboy kicked off their 2024 debut single with a l-o-n-g title, "'I've Never Met Anyone I Thought I Could Really Love (Until I Met You)," hollering their name — and now the quartet is galloping into 2025 with a headline show at London's Windmill Brixton on March 29, a summer of festivals, and a support slot with Blondshell beginning in September. On "UKNY" at 11 p.m., that auspicious first release, produced by English Teacher guitarist Lewis Whiting and signed to Nice Swan.
Cleo Sol begins three nights of sold-out shows at Radio City Music Hall tonight, including one on her birthday, March 24. I'll dig deeper into Divorce's debut album, Drive to Goldenhammer, and spin the "official" debut single from Pyncher, who I caught live in 2023 at London's The Shacklewell Arms. Brighton-based Helen Ganya has released a new album, Share Your Care, and London-based caroline is back with a taste of what's to come following their 2022 self-titled debut album.
Plus, the Netherlands' Robin Kester joined by Rozi Plain, Japan's Ichiko Aoba, and Belfast's Kneecap.
All on "UKNY," Sundays 11 p.m.-midnight, on 90.7FM, streaming online, and in the Archives after broadcast.
