Full Album Fridays

Full Album Fridays

A show where a band or artist takes you through the journey of their entire album. Our host Gavin O'Neill talks with the artist and, song-by-song-, dissects the album, letting the audience in on what each tune means to them and why it fits into each specific place on the track list. Full Album Fridays is unique as playing an entire album back to front is unheard of in today’s formatted stations. It’s our chance to be inside an artist’s mind and really sink into the meaning behind a full piece of art, not just a single. So sit back, place the needle gently on the first groove, and appreciate.
