There’s something beautifully unfair about putting your own songs on trial.

This episode starts with a simple idea and very quickly spirals into something far more chaotic, far more emotional, and at times… borderline brutal. Thirty-two Electrasy tracks, pulled out of the catalogue and thrown into a completely random knockout bracket. No seeding, no bias, no mercy. Just song versus song, round by round, until only one is left standing.

What follows is part World Cup, part therapy session.

Because it turns out that when you ask a band to choose between their own creations, you’re not just asking them to pick a better tune. You’re asking them to weigh memories, moments, mistakes, breakthroughs, late nights in studios, gigs that meant everything, songs that nearly didn’t make it, songs that somehow defined an era. And then casually bin half of them.

There are easy wins. There are shocking upsets. There are moments where everyone agrees… and moments where things get properly tense. You can hear the hesitation, the justification, the quiet “are we really doing this?” before someone delivers the deciding vote.

And then it tightens.

Sixteen becomes eight. Eight becomes four. By the time we hit the semi-finals, every choice feels like a betrayal. Songs that have lived with the band for decades suddenly hanging by a thread because of one opinion, one memory, one gut feeling.

By the final… it’s ridiculous, really. Two songs left. Both carrying weight. Both deserving. And the question becomes impossible in the best possible way.

What you get in this episode isn’t just a ranking. It’s a window into how the band sees its own history. Which songs still resonate. Which ones surprised them. Which ones hurt to let go. And which one, somehow, rises above the rest.

It’s messy, it’s funny, it’s honest… and the reactions are absolutely priceless.

Season 2 kicks off with a gert big game of song chess.

In this opening episode, Pete, Steve and Ali sit down to draft the 24 Electrasy tracks that best represent the band, past and present. No chart positions, no streaming maths, just instinct, memory and the occasional bit of revisionist history.

The twist? The songs have to be chosen across eight themed categories, forcing us to dig into the catalogue from every angle. Singles, deep cuts, crowd favourites, forgotten gems and the ones we still can’t quite agree on.

What follows is part music nerd deep-dive, part therapy session, and part three mates trying to remember why certain songs mattered at the time and whether they still do now.

This isn’t a definitive list. It’s a draft. And like any good draft, it’s open to debate.

As 2025 limps proudly to the bar for last orders, we thought it was only right to pause, rewind, and gently roast ourselves. This wrap pod is less about wisdom and more about survival. The moments where the mics were hot, the filters were off, and things went spectacularly sideways. Missed cues, bad maths, accidental philosophy, moments of pure nonsense and the occasional laugh that broke the room. It is a look back at the bits that were never planned, never scripted, and somehow became the most human parts of the year. If nothing else, consider this proof that we were definitely there, mostly awake, and clearly enjoying ourselves.
