Much-loved Aussie rocker, Sarah McLeod, best known as the former face of ARIA award-winning and multi-platinum band, The Superjesus, has been secured as co-presenter of RADAR ROCK – Triple M’s new rock show. McLeod knows what it’s like to make it big as an Australian artist and will be right at home bringing listeners the best of the Aussie rock music scene and more.
The Triple M Network broadcasts RADAR ROCK twice weekly around the country as a combination of new rock from emerging and new un-signed acts through to rock from well established artists spanning the last 12-18 months.
Sarah McLeod said, “I’m excited about co-hosting on the Radar Rock show because I get to discover cool new bands that I wouldn't normally hear. Every week I sit and listen to hours of music that’s NOT MINE. It’s a nice change, and its inspiring too! Reegan (McLaughlin) and I have been having fun and it’s great that this show allows a diverse range of music to be heard on such a massive platform as Triple M”.
