For episode 104 I'm joined by one of the biggest guitar bands of this generation, it's The Snuts!

This one's a fun episode. Jack and Callum were on fine form and gave the perfect level, of chaos, heart felt sincerity and project promotion that I always strive for on this podcast.

The Snuts new album, Joy In Short Moments is released on Happy Music Group and Virgin Music Group on the 30th of October and is easily their best work to date.

All 3 of their previous records have hit the top 5 in the album charts, it's inevitable that they'll make it 4 fort 4.

Their album of choice was In Memory of Loss by Nathaniel Rateliff and in this episode we deep dive the record and discuss Jack and Callum's connection to Nathaniel's debut record.

We also discuss how Joy in Short Moments was the most fun record of The Snuts career to make, how LCD Soundystem have the best intro of all time and the unparalled satisfaction of a stubby can.

It's out now wherever you find your podcasts.

For episode 103, I'm joined by Radio royalty. From Absolute Radio, it's Ben Burell!

Ben is the voice of Absolute from 1pm to 4pm Monday to Friday where he can be found dishing out indie bangers to music lovers across the digital airwaves with a firm "no repeat guarantee."

This was a VERY fun episode and Ben's album of choice is an absolute (no pun intended) all timer of a record, it's Jamie T's softmore classic - Kings and Queens.

In this episode we discuss consuming Kings and Queens with a grotty hangover, snogging your way out of physical discomfort at indie discos and how Jamie T has done more for mens mental health than any government scheme ever could.

We also talk loads about the Oasis documentary Don't Look Back In Anger, so that gives a pretty firm time stamp of exactly when we recorded this one.

It's out now, wherever you find your podcasts. Best enjoyed with ten cigarettes and five snakebites while running for the last train in Surrey.

"The very first “post-surf” band. This London four-piece (extended to five on stage) was formed in 2021 when Connie came to London from France and met Archie (bass) from Worcester and Steve (guitar) from York. They blended their influences so seamlessly that they had to invent an actual genre to describe their sound. “Post-surf” is a pun to the “post-punk” dominion over the London scene of the past decade, alluding to the twist operated by these boys: post-modern themes in their lyrics and reflections on the chaos of modern life, but the warm and soothing sun of 60s California on the surface, embodied by their trademark four-part harmonies, surf guitars, and inexplicably strange chords. Their first album, a series of haunting ballads expunged in an effort to shave down their growing catalog, was released in 2025. “Poorly Planned Missions… Executed Worse” features ten tracks dripping with the band’s sonic identity and commitment to writing a song that sounds like it could never be written twice. Having opened for acts like The Big Pink and The Molotovs, they are gearing up for the release of the much louder follow-up to their debut, a cinematic whirlpool of indie bangers, introduced by their brand new single ‘Neverknows’.”
