Tara Rez on Radio Reverb with Segs Jennings  — 1st May 2025 Show

Fight back like ‘77… indeed! On this week's explosive Radio Reverb session, Tara Rez channeled the pure punk ethos in a modern world.

We kicked off with Roxy Music but quickly veered into rebel territory — T Rex, The Tights, Billy Idol + Avril Lavigne (yep — “77” vibes and weird collabs), and Irish wordsmith warriors Kneecap tearing through the airwaves with anti-establishment fire.

It didn’t stop there. Conflict dropped Cut The Crap, their first in 20 years, packed with righteous rage and guest bars from legend Benjamin Zephaniah. It felt like history colliding with the now.

Brighton's own spirit soared too — Rhoda Dakar representing ska and DIY resilience, and Vice Squad’s Becky Bondage unleashing Defiant (still sounding as fierce and fresh as ever).

Stories, scrapes, raw tales from King’s Road punk days — this wasn’t nostalgia, this was punk ALIVE and present.

Stream it back. Feel it. Share it.

DIY never died — it just moved to the airwaves.
