“THIS Album…” with William Hann

Could you listen to two songs non stop on a 14 hour flight? Today's guest can and did! That may seem excessive, but this is a man that opened AND tasted 141 cans of tinned tomatoes on Taskmaster NZ.In this episode we discuss how appearing on Taskmaster changed his life, how Buckingham Palace isn't as good as the palace in Aladdin and the VERY iffy optics of being obsessed with teenage Korean popstars when you're in your mid 30's.It's a really fun episode and David has really opened me up to a world of music I never thought would be for me. But it turns out... K Pop is class! David is at The Fringe all of August and has a full UK tour in September with shows in Leeds, Brighton, Glasgow, Manchester, Bristol and 5 nights at The Bill Murray in London. See ya there?

For episode 91 I'm joined by a genuine indie hero...

From the ACTUAL, LITERAL Mystery Jets..... it's Blaine Harrison!!!

Mystery Jets really are one of "those" bands aren't they? For over 20 years their music has been a constant in my life and been there to soundtrack the moments of heartbreak, joy, melancholy and everything in between that every Millennial has been through.

Now with new album A Hole To See The Sky Through set for release on the 21st of August, there's a new batch of incredible songs that we get to make new memories to.

In the episode we talk all about getting Yoko's approval on the absolutely massive sounding new record, touring with Arctic Monkeys on the NME Awards tour in 2006 and we also deep dive the bonkers world of The Coral's debut album.

Mystery Jets are on an instore tour this August and a full UK tour in November with a huge show at Kentish Town Forum.

See you down the front?

Episode 90 is a big one.

I’m joined by a band who are destined to define this era of guitar music. It’s Westside Cowboy!

The band are set to release their debut album “It Goes On” on the 21st of August and it’s hard to imagine a world where they’re not making an impact on numerous Album of The Year lists.

In this episode we discuss Glastonbury disasters, supporting Geese in the eye of a buzzy media storm and we deep dive the bands that’s been on every mood-board Westside Cowboy have ever had - Horsegirl and their much loved record Phonetics On and On.

Big thanks to the team at Universal for helping make this happen.

Enjoy irresponsibly ✌🏻

Truck Festival

For purveyors of all things indie, Truck has a lot to offer...

Luckily, the good people of Dork asked me to write a review of all the bands I watched on Hill Farm last weekend. You can read it on their website or you can have the audiobook version of it on this weeks episode of the podcast.

You can get my thoughts on the incredible sets I caught from The Cribs, Will Gamble, Getdown Services, We Are Scientists, Primal Scream, The Maccabees, 22 Grand Pod, Oxford Symphony Orchestra, Ivo Graham, Friendly Fires, Adult DVD, The Vaccines, Black Honey, Two Door Cinema Club, Vanessa Carlton, Picture Parlour, Westside Cowboy and...... The Libertines!

My god, that's a lot of indie!

It's out now to read on Dork and it's available to watch / listen to wherever you find your podcasts.
