Iain Foulds - URP / TPN Rock

Bringing you the best in unsigned rock!

About Me

I'm a music podcaster originally from England, but moved out to Alaska last Christmas and married a crazy Californian chick. Just sit around with the Yup'ik eskimos, chilling (literally!), playing the guitar, and podcasting the best of unsigned rock! If you're really bored, check out some of my own (rough) music , and my personal blog at www.fouldsy.com for a load more of what I get up to and a stack of random photos!
Got a right variety of music I listen to, and anything loosely classed as rock is welcome on the podcast. Although I've been kinda out of it the last couple of months without a decent internet connection in Alaska, I used to I co-host TPN Rock twice a week alongside Ewan Spence, with a spot still open for me depending on what I want to do. I started out podcasting the Unsigned Rock Podcast and that's still around for me to head back to as well!
Feel free to leave comments on here, the TPN Rock site , the Unsigned Rock Podcast site or leave me an Odeo voice message
If you're in a band or singer/songwriter and want me to play some of your tracks, get in touch and will see what I can do! Always fun to hear from guys + gals I was at school or college with to, so drop me a line as well!

The Podcasts


I used to co-host TPN Rock twice a week alongside the awesome Ewan Spence. As my internet connection sucks in Alaska, I kinda fell out of it, though the chair is still open for my return! Ewan has kept things going with an awesome guest host every Monday, so check out TPN Rock by clicking the banner above
I started out with my own show, the Unsigned Rock Podcast, which is still around. You can listen to the latest shows in the player above, or check out www.unsignedrockpodcast.com for the rest of them and background on all the bands. I might end up going back and producing some more shows on the Unsigned Rock Podcast, but it's nice not to have to follow a schedule at the moment!
This profile is kinda both for my mates and the two podcasts, so if you're a band or artist, don't go off trying to find me elsewhere! Drop me a line, send a friend request, leave some comments, etc. and I'll see if I can get your music lined up on one of the podcasts whenever I get round to hosting + producing again!
