It turns out that quite a few Rediffusion songs are a bit spooky - ghosts, sinners, lost souls and chilling algorithms. So, here is a new playlist for Halloween - Mwa ha ha! 🎃👻😈😈👹https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0A4DurRS7bH0grWdA565ti?si=QAWEWAYXQUWzaH5QQnLCuQ&pi=UFv24sxoRkeOa

Well, it may have been a bit of a slow burn, but I’m super-chuffed that debut album The Rediffusion Times hit 1,000 Spotify streams yesterday - and that people are still discovering it and liking its melodic, melancholy indie songs. THANK YOU so much to all who have listened!

Well, I’m excited about this. The Rediffusion Times is now available to order on CD 😀😀 Head to the BR page on Elastic Stage, where you can read about the band and album as well as place an order. The nice people at Elastic Stage will then send it directly to you! elasticstage.com/blackwoodred...

Crumbs. Facebook has just reminded me that Ultra Processed Punk, the Rediffusion’s most popular song, is ONE YEAR OLD!! Wish the synthy, crazy tale of mad cows, mad kids and aliens a happy birthday and give it a listen? open.spotify.com/track/0MRsFz...

Pete is a lovely guy and a passionate advocate for unsigned artists. His support of BR over the last 18 months has meant so much; a radio play and kind comments after all the hard work writing/recording/producing/marketing really does give you a lift. Thank you Pete! (1 of 2)

Sounding a bit like a cross between Queen’s Radio Gaga and the Pet Shop Boys, why not give Former Glories ‘25 a listen if you want some retro 80’s vibes and ear-worm synths?

Track 7 on new album The Rediffusion Times!

The Rediffusion Times streams had been going really well, but had slowed to a trickle in recent days 😢😢
So, it was a real pick me up today to have folks listening and giving feedback. Thank you - you have lifted my spirits! 🙏😀

#NewMusic for your Friday? How about another album deep dive? Misfits:Sounds ‘25 tells the tale of alt 80’s kids (“eyes as black as coal and lips all glossed up”) surviving Friday nights in a provincial town

Time for another Rediffusion Times deep dive. Track 7, Former Glories ‘25. 80’s vibe? Tick. Ear-worm synth? Tick. Story about a washed-up rock star? Tick!

Time for some more album deep dives. No Pasaran! was written in the early days of the Ukraine conflict & harked back to the volunteer brigades that fought the fascists in the Spanish civil war 🇺🇦🇺🇦 (1 of 2)
