So there's only one thing for it.... emergency podcast!In this episode, we look back at the lovely time we had at Truck 2025, look forward to all the glorious indie that awaits us at Truck 2026 and we alos discuss a truly impressive criminal operation that we were victims to at a Wombats gig in 2008.Also, annoyingly, we forgot to mention that Vanessa Carlton is on the bloomin' line up!!! That is going to be one of the moments of the summer and I can not wait to cry my eyes out to A Thousand Miles.Enjoy repsonsibly and stay safe.

• Episode 51 - Amelia Bayler - Ministry of Sound The Annual 15

  Episode 51 of the podcast is one I've wanted to happen for a while... it’s Amelia Bayler! Amelia is a creative force of nature in the world of music, comedy and musical comedy, and she effortlessly straddles the worlds of Nu Rave, French Touch and Chart friendly house bangers in her musical taste. It's the first time covering a compilation album on the podcast and the two of us have loads of fun deep diving this Ministry of Sounds, The Annual 15 from 2010 while Amelia also flys the flag for compilation albums as a whole.But if Ministry of Sound is not your thing we also discuss boobs, ordering drinks while gurning and Weight Watchers yoghurts.Best enjoyed while on ecstasy with the girlies.

• Episode 50 - Sam McCann from Sprints - Bon Iver , 22, A Million

  Episode 50 feels like a monumental occasion and it just so happens I've got a monumental guest to mark the big 5.0.  From Irish Post- Punk noise makers Sprints, it's Sam Mcann!We recorded this episode just before show time at a landmark gig for the band at London's Troxy. The iconic venue was awash that evening in a wave of screaming guitars and cathartic chorus'. It was a hell of an evening...Anyone that's into hearing about Simpsons t-shirts, Ed Sheeran tattoos, face steaming and language barriers at music festivals will get a LOT out of this very fun episode.But most importantly, we deep dive Sam's relationship with the groundbreaking 2016 release from Bon Iver, 22, a Million.If Sprints two albums to date aren't enough to keep you satisfied, Sam does give a little tease about what Sprints fans can expect in 2026.Enjoy!

• Episode 49 - Tony McCarroll from Oasis and Kyle Dale from Bittersweet Home

  I have Oasis'd!When Propstore held the world's larger ever Oasis memorabilia auction at The Cumberland Hotel, Kyle and Tony were in town to take part in a Q&A happening ahead of the items going under the hammer.I'm a man of opportunity and was lucky enough to grab twenty minutes with the two of them to discuss all things from Boardwalk 94 to Live 25.Tony shared some great stories of his first drum kit purchase, the biggest compliment he's ever had for his drumming and the mad time he first met fellow Oasis drummer Zak Starkey.It's a break from the normal format and a bit shotter then normal, but it's a VERY fun one.Enjoy!

• Episode 48 - James Allen from Cultras Football Podcast - LCD Soundsystem, Sound of Silver

  "Who are ya?! Who are ya?! Who are ya?!"I'm William Hann, host of the podcast, "THIS Album..." thanks for asking.For episode 48 I'm joined by a man so passionate about football, he's actually created an award nominated podcast about it, from Cultras, it's James Allen!Jesus, where do I start?James, is a comedian, broadcaster, writer and actor and it was a joy to be welcomed into his home to discuss LCD Soundsytem's ground breaking sophmore album, Sound of Silver.Sound of Silver is widely considered to be one of THE seminal New York albums. In this humble podcasters opinion, it might just be the greatest album of all time. So this is a BIG episode.The album touches on hedonism, loss, friendship, growing up, gentrification, hipsterdom, escape, identity and it does all this with a level of gravitas and intelligence that was unrrivalled in the mid 00's or any era for that matter! So rather then discussing these things we talk about getting high on lemon sips, Liverpool's Ecru away kit in the 90's and regional table tennis tournaments on The Wirral. Best enjoyed home in the late night.
