Chelmsford might be best known as the birthplace of radio — but every Tuesday night from 8pm to 10pm, it also becomes the home of rock.
City Sound Radio’s “Gods of Rock”, hosted by local music fanatics Wayne and Mark, is a full-volume celebration of everything that makes rock and metal great — the riffs, the legends, and the never-ending passion for loud, honest music.
Meet Wayne and Mark — Chelmsford’s Rock Gurus
If there’s one thing Wayne and Mark know, it’s live music. They’ve spent decades going to gigs, downing pints, and chasing that unbeatable feeling of hearing guitars roar through a festival crowd.
Now, they’re bringing all that experience (and energy) to the airwaves with The Gods of Rock — a show that promises “not your usual rock playlist.”
From AC/DC to Yungblud, Led Zeppelin to Royal Blood, the duo mix classic rock icons with new and upcoming artists, proving that great rock music never dies — it just keeps getting louder.
A Tribute to the Legends
Each week, Wayne and Mark take listeners on a musical journey through the decades, playing the bands that changed everything. Expect to hear the heavyweights: Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Motörhead, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Queen, and yes — Led Zeppelin, the band that redefined what rock could be.
Their show is part nostalgia trip, part discovery session — reminding long-time fans why they fell in love with rock, and introducing a new generation to the power of the genre.
Not Just Music — A Way of Life
The Gods of Rock is more than just two hours of guitar anthems. It’s a celebration of the community and culture around rock and metal.
Wayne and Mark share stories, debate the classics, and sprinkle in a few surprises along the way. One minute you might be rocking out to Whole Lotta Love, the next you’ll be discovering an underground metal band from today’s scene.
Their banter and shared passion make the show feel like you’ve just joined them for a pint after Download Festival — swapping stories and arguing over who played the greatest guitar solo of all time.
