After many months of discussions, the Uncharted Riffs team had a joyous conversation with the frontman of New Jersey indie rock quintet The Haunting. On this episode, Casey takes us through his inspirations from across the years, his personal opinions of their latest record "WIGHTNOISE" as well as his excitement to try the perfect Guinness, with the UR team of course. If you love indie, rock, or just music in general, you'd be doing yourself a disservice not listening to this episode.

On our first solo episode of 2026, Nick has on both Ollie and Elly from the Falmouth shoegaze trio Fallowed Ground. Having released their debut EP just last week, the duo had plenty of stories talking about their influences, live experiences and just a few drops of hidden subtext within their songs. Add in some talk about condiments, Cornish traditions and the slagging off of Slough, and you have a fantastic episode to lose yourself in.
