Way back on Episode 10 of Hour of the Riff, we did a recap of Ripple Music’s Second Coming of Heavy series, playing a track from every band that had appeared on Chapter 1 through to Chapter 5.

The 10th and final chapter of the series is almost upon us [out September 13] so this week, we’re doing a recap of Chapter 6 through to Chapter 10 with brand new music from The W Likes and Palace In Thunderland plus a track from all the other bands that featured on the second half of this absolutely legendary series.

Summer is in full swing so this week, on Hour of the Riff, it’s all about the chilled out summer tracks. Tune in for some laid back tunes from Rival Sons, Black Mountain, All Them Witches, Orango and Corrosion of Conformity that hopefully won’t scare the neighbours too much while you’re frying up some burgers out back!

Tune into Hour of the Riff 127 for new music from Hippie Death Cult, Wolf Prayer, Stonekind and Ethereal Riffian. That’s not all. You know what to do.

2019 is halfway through but the new music ain’t stopping. We check out previews of the new albums from Zed, Planet of Zeus and Lifetime Shitlist, there’s some awesome UK based riffs from Bad Men and Morass of Molasses and this week’s bandcamp freebie comes from Mvshrum.

We’re checking out some of the new releases that feature women on vocal duties with Sky Valley Mistress, Burning Gloom and Lightning Born, there’s a 2 for 1 on the bandcamp freebie feature and there’s also some full fat sludge to wade into, all on Hour of the Riff 125!

We’re like a broken record here at HOTR recently. New Red Fang. New Mars Red Sky. New Luna Sol. New Arrowhead. OPEN UP YOUR EARHOLES. CRAM IT IN.

Once again, new music is king on Hour of the Riff with Faerie Ring and Awooga bringing the riffs (as advertised), there’s an ‘Evil’ cover from Clutch, the bandcamp freebie comes from The Electric Mud and we hear the latest from the ever impressive Greek stoner rock scene. All that and more on Hour of the Riff 123!
