The Hands of Tyme :: 2:00pm 31st Mar 2022

Today’s show I’m calling “Mod Energy”. UK bands that were out and out mods or on the fringes of mod, which was a pervasive cultural and musical force in mid ’60s England. Sounds may cross into freakbeat and straight up Rn’B but they all have that tightly wound, at times explosive “mod energy”.
