BD and Thrashman - The Express FM Years

By David E. Gates and Dean Hopton

BD's Rock Show, the phenomenal local radio rock show that was broadcast on Express FM in Portsmouth, (and world-wide via the internet), between 2006 and 2020 showcased BD & Thrashman's unique, anarchic, juvenile and comedic style to an audience of listeners that had never heard the like of such a show before.

 

What Wayne's World did for evoking memories of their teenage years, BD's Rock Show did for BD & Thrashman's lunacy and passion for rock, hard rock and heavy metal like no show had ever done so previously.

 

BD & Thrashman – The Express FM Years tells the story, with more than 170 photos, of their rise to fame, and infamy, the bands and artists they met and interviewed along the way, and the adoring fans who made their experiences all the better.

 

BD & Thrashman – Proudly the last bastion of political incorrectness.

 

"The best book I never read." - Lemmy.

"Those two are a scream!" – Keeeet.

"Aiiiight!" - Little Johnny.
