								Join Scottish Rock Radio Presenter Dunk MacKellar for an hour of New and Classic rock! Enjoy music from Unsigned and self-financing, self-releasing artists alongside more established "better known" names with lots of new releases and a sprinkling of classics! The highlight of my week was hiding in my room listening to (and taping - but don't tell anyone) Tommy Vance And The Friday Rock Show. I started the show as a doff of the cap to TV, utilising the same introduction music as the great man himself and just stuck with it - I did eventually drop the intro/outro to squeeze in more music. I love getting to play and promote new music and if I can introduce a band to ONE new fan then it's all worth it as far as I'm concerned.  My personal tastes are more in the Hard Rock/AOR/Bluesy Rock vein and  I started off playing what people NOW call classic but, as I've discovered newer bands that sound classic (the now tagged NWOCR  - New Wave Of Classic Rock), I play a lot of that too. I can't believe the amount of good rock music out there.. One thing is for certain – ROCK AIN'T DEAD! 

From time to time We wheel out some show features to look forward to...

Relate The Rock is our wee fun feature on Keep It Rock where we play three tracks back to back that are connected in some way …. and you have to guess what the connection is. (think "The Friday Night Connection"). You just email me your answer.. and your very own three track Relate The Rock Teaser to be used on a future show to contacttherockshow @ gmail.com or use the email link on the page here.

The Inside Track on Keep It Rock. It’s not an interview but the next best thing – or maybe actually it’s even better as I reckon that it’s the band you want to listen to…. not me!

I invite a band on the show to choose a couple of their own songs, tell us a bit about them, what influenced the tracks… what they are about, that kinda thing….. and also play a song by another artist that has influenced them in some way… maybe what gave them the desire to write and play music, inspiration for one of their songs or whatever. It may be a new or unsigned artist or one of the bigger names in the history of rock and we have had loads of excellent and varied bands/artis take part.

If you are a band and would like to feature on The Inside Track… maybe you have an album or single coming out that you would like to promote? drop me an email and we can get it sorted…. It’s all about the rock!

Another rotational feature,  I choose a year in music and play some of my favourite album tracks from that year. I also share snippets of useless info and stuff that happened in the chosen year like albums released, band formations, band splits…. maybe someone died, left a band joined another band… I might run down the top ten singles from that year… just whatever … depends on what’s went down in the year really!

So, What are you waiting for? Check out the show right here on TotalRock every Monday night from 10.00-11.00pm and there's also a replay on a Wednesday morning from 9.00-10am .. with the PREVIOUS Week's show repeating in th following hour both days. As if that's not awesome enough, you can listen to ALL shows by searching the website for "Keep It Rock On Demand"
