    Crank! on Planet Airwaves is back and, for the first time ever, ahead of schedule. We’re getting a little spiritual this episode as we look into the Christian rock and metal genres, organised religions response to the music, and some of the bands that brought ‘Jesus Music’ to prominence. We’ll also be heading back to the 80’s and reviewing Accept’s latest effort, Too Mean To Die. Plus, we’ve got the regular segments in the Crank News Bulletin, What’s Cranking, Crank Live (Streams), and the Crank Personal Playlist. And despite the fact we keep calling it episode 13, it is in fact episode 12…I think it must have been the heat! Crank! on Planet Airwaves is written, produced, mixed, and mastered in The Voice Of God’s Air Studio 1 and Patto’s Workshop of Queen Norelle Studios, with all original music produced by Patto.

    Crank! on Planet Airwaves returns after a long Christmas break, and to celebrate the new year we’re debuting a new, shortened format with one Talking On Crank and one Crank Up The Jams segment. This episode we’re getting a bit serious with Talking On Crank as we tackle the issue of white power music invading the punk and metal scenes, and for Crank Up The Jams we’re looking at the metal supergroup Killer Be Killed and their sophomore album Reluctant Hero. Plus, we’ve got the regular segments in the Crank News Bulletin, What’s Cranking, Crank Live (Streams), and the legendary Crank Personal Playlist. Crank on Planet Airwaves is written, produced, mixed, and mastered in The Voice Of God’s Air Studio 1 and Patto’s Workshop of Queen Norelle Studios, with all original music produced by Patto.

    Pop Goes The Rock Weasel...And A Farewell To EVH.

    Crank! on Planet Airwaves returns, and not for the first time we’re not the slightest bit on schedule. We totally promise that next episode will be right on time… For Talking On Crank we’ll be saying goodbye and paying tribute to the legend known as Eddie Van Halen. We’ll also look at the trend of commercial pop artists tackling rock music and discuss whether the mainstream music industry is going to finally start actively promoting rock artists again. Crank Up The Jams features a local Australian band named Ironstone and their debut EP Prophecy, and the seventeenth release from rock mainstays AC/DC. You’ll be totally shocked to discover AC/DC haven’t suddenly decided to reinvent their sound. Of course, there’s the Crank News Bulletin, What’s Cranking?, Crank Live (Streams), and the Crank Personal Playlist. Crank! on Planet Airwaves is written, produced, mixed, and mastered the exact same way since 1975, from The Voice Of God’s Air Studio 1 and Patto’s Workshop of Queen Norelle Studios, with all original music produced in Patto’s Workshop.
