Today on the podcast I am delighted to say that I am going to be joined by two amazing artists, who are Drew of the Grindcore band See You Next Tuesday and the one man noisegrind act,CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP (aka Chop7Times, Chop7x, Chopx7) from New Haven, CT.

Together these two artists have created one of my favourite releases of the year, a collaborative EP titled 'Brothers'.

This collaborative release is based off of a book entitled The Brothers’ War, a 1998 fantasy novel by Jeff Grubb; it is the first book in the Magic: The Gathering: Artifacts Cycle, detailing the epic conflict between brothers Urza and Mishra on the world of Dominaria. The book explores the origins of Urza and the magical and technological arms race that leads to cataclysmic events. For the album, side A, See You Next Tuesday’s Chris wrote his lyrics based on the perspective of the Brother Urza, while Chop wrote his lyrics from Mishra's perspective for side B.

We are going to be going through the entire EP, talking about how this collaboration began, why they choose 'The Brothers War' as the inspiration for the EP and how it was used to construct the music, Magic The Gathering and their awesome music video, 'Old Thoughts, and Regrets'.

The EP is available for purchase now in two vinyl forms, digitally on Bandcamp and will be available for streaming on May 15th, this Friday!

Today on the podcast I am joined by Joe and Jasper of the Dublin based Rock band, Wifeswap!

We'll be chatting about their upcoming EP, 'Digging' which is to be released on May 28th and going through the entire EP, track by track. So if you're looking for some early insight into what this EP is going to sound like, give this podcast a listen!

In support of the band's release, they will be playing a headline show in Thomas House on the 30th of May. There are 10 €20 tickets available which will get you a copy of their record on vinyl and a free ticket. Support on the night will be from the incredible Skyless.

Been a fan of this band since their first single, 'Inertia', so it was an absolute pleasure to have the guys on the podcast.
