SNAP, CRACKLE & ROCK!

Snap and Ham are on hiatus in the City of Crime at the moment but they hope to be back bashing yours ears again soon.....

Snap & Ham

Snap and Ham live for the simple things in life, such as the three B's; Beers, Boobs and Beards. They'll be coming right at you every weeknight from 7 till 10 with unnecessary and irrelevant discussions about life and everything else.

Snap and his over inflated ego come to The Zone FM from a mild background in radio, most notably breaking a World Record for Christchurch by presenting a show for 185 hours non-stop. Ham is a wild stallion along for the ride and by god does he do it with style!

Snap and Ham as individuals are exceptionally hilarious but when combined they are an unstoppable, dynamic duo. So don't spend your nights pre-drinking for town by yourselves, tune into The Zone Fm and listen to this disaster of a show unfold...

SUCK IT AND SEE

Hyped as a return to form the Arctic Monkeys do not disappoint with their 4th offering ‘Suck It and See’, a title seen as to risky for some US supermarkets who blanked the title out with stickers to avoid causing offence. Politics aside ‘Suck it and See’ serves up the Arctic Monkeys trade mark witty lyrics over their deceptively powerful arrangements, making Suck It and Sere’ another must own album from the Arctic Monkeys.

Email win@thezonefm.net with Suck It in the subject line for your chance to win 1 of 10 copies.

Bowing at No. 6 on Billboard ' s Top 200 Albums chart (and #8 debut on the N.Z Album Chart), the sixth full-length studio effort by the Grammy-winning group was produced and mixed by Nick Raskulinecz ( Alice in Chains, Coheed & Cambria, Foo Fighters). The band recorded the album after their best friend and bassist Chi Cheng sustained a debilitating brain injury from a car accident in November of 2008.
