In this episode, we spoke with members, Andy and Nev, from the 80's  Power Pop band, The Pinkees, who had found success at a young age,  appearing on Top of the Pops, Casablanca and The Pebble Mill, as well as  their single reaching number 8 in the UK charts. We speak to them about  the times before the band, when the band formed, the gigs, the alleged  chart hyping and the ending of The Pinkees. They have also re-released  their album on all major platforms to celebrate 40 years since the  release of their album!

Ryan and Lewis host this episode of The Peppermint Apes Podcast with the CEO of The International Pop Overthrow Festival and Podcast Host of Material Issues - David Bash.  Ryan has performed at various IPO shows with previous line ups of The Peppermint Apes.  Enjoy Davids story

In this podcast Ryan, Lewis, Chris, and Sam discuss how life in a band can sometimes interfere with life playing in a band. Being in a band is a big commitment, organising rehearsals that fit around everyone's schedules, gigging, even general band meet ups, these can all take a toll on the personal life, which can sometimes lead to band splits, members departing and even couples splitting up. We dicuss our personal views on how you can balance work and personal life with being in a band.

In this podcast Ryan, Lewis, Chris, and Sam discuss whether gigging will ever be the same again after the Coronavirus pandemic. It is still very current in the news and this horrid virus is taking lives, but thankfully, many people are recovering, and the rate of infection is decreasing. The UK Government has slightly eased the UK lockdown, but is it to soon? Will there be a second spike, leading to a second lockdown and more deaths? How normal will life be when we finally do see the other end of this nightmare, will venues only allow a certain number of people in? Will they have to socially distance themselves, or will it just all go back to normal? Join us in this discussing where we see if Gigging Will Ever Be the Same Again.

In this Podcast, Ryan, Lewis, Chris and Sam discuss whether the music industry has been harmed since the introduction of music streaming platforms. In the past, all four of us have visited the local record stores and purchased new albums, singles or even just for the magazines to stay up to date with the music news. This may now be a thing of the past as this is all now available within a single phone application. Please join us as we venture into the world of digital streaming versus physically owned music and whether it has harmed the industry.

Special thanks to Bill, Steve, Brad, Christina, Colin and Zach for providing us with their opinions regarding this topic
