2 Promoters, 1 Pod

It’s another pod exclusive ATG band drop, this time in the shape of the final 16 acts with some absolute belters and a few surprises in store. 

Gav and James also chat the latest HRH mishap and the strength of this year’s Download line-up before sinking their teeth into their favour subject: Take That.

With a rum and a beer in hand, James Scarlett is welcomed back to 2 Promoters, 1 Pod to tackle the neglected mail bag in a tipsy fashion.

First aid stats, Deftones live, silent disco turnouts, Yndi Halda love, news scoops, Converge’s new record, Happy Dimscûa Day and streamlining the booking process, all tackled. 

With a smile.

Last week’s podcast discussing the current state of music journalism ruffled some feathers, to put it mildly. 

So this week Gav and James invite former Kerrang! editor-in-chief Sam Coare on to address the fallout. 

“Round Two. Fight!”

Gav has had plenty to say on the pod about the declining quality of ballsy music journalism in the UK with talented scribes being reduced to hired hacks, used for the whims and wants of overbearing PR agencies, record labels and the bands and they represent. 

But now it’s time for those wordsmiths to fight back and have their say on how they view the industry in which they ply their trade.

Part one, in what will no doubt be a series of pulling back the curtain on music journalism, features former Independent writer, serial podcaster and Metal Hammer talent Remfry Dedman.

45 ATG bands are here, and four hours before the rest of the world finds out - Arcane Roots aside! 

Gav and James discuss ripping up the promo plan when Radio 1 come calling, ATG bands taking off and Jamie Lenman being the first artist ever to ask to go DOWN the bill.

Then they get stuck into to as much geeky goodness as possible; playing tent Tetris with camping allocations, the chaos of organisational timelines, relationships with suppliers and what impact a Glasto fallow year has on the rest of the summer’s events. 

With a completely unnecessary and likely provocative AI grenade tossed in for good measure. 

Enjoy!
