Matt Berninger (The National) - "Being with the audience brought me out of a serious depression"

September 16, 2025 • 46 mins
Matt Berninger's excellent second solo album Get Sunk follows a slow exit from a serious depression where he couldn't get out of bed. Written on baseballs, deconstructed bedposts and anything else he could write lyrics on, the National singer writes songs like he's painting a picture. Once a graphic designer during the dot-com bubble in New York, he was going to formative gigs by The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio and Th...

Sydney Minsky Sargeant - "We need to be careful in not making music exclusive"

September 11, 2025 • 44 mins
Working Men's Club's Sydney Minsky Sargeant puts out his debut album Lunga this Friday. The album was written around the track 'Lisboa', which while written years ago carries so much weight for Syd that he needed to eventually get it out his system. The whole album is ace, and is from a more mellow direction than the harshness of WMC. Here we hear about the importance of accessible music in Britain, small town gentrification and t...

Field Music - "Take control of your destiny... form a Doors tribute band"

September 9, 2025 • 40 mins
Famed for starting a Doors covers band to supplement income performing their own music, Field Music's David Brewis says it shouldn't come as a surprise. Despite sharing rehearsal spaces with 2000's mainstream indie bands The Futureheads and Maximo Park, the Brewis brothers had no interest in pleasing anyone else; only making music for themselves. Coming up to 20 years since their debut album, the Sunderland trio have nearly always ...

Tyler Ballgame - "Be Outsider-You"

August 28, 2025 • 32 mins
Tyler Ballgame is a modern savant. On his four released tracks, there's a sweeping melancholy underpinned by the haunting beauty of Roy Orbison or wry-smiled dreamy Harry Nilsson. In this chat, Tyler talks of Shakespeare inspiration, studying songwriting Berkeley but never successfully shaking the idea that he was an outsider, and blagging a job interview that transplanted him on the other side of the country - where he started hi...

The New Eves - Haunted by Tutankhamun

July 31, 2025 • 23 mins
If you're not sure what to make of gothic Midsommar clad The New Eves, keep listening. There's the poetic thud of The Velvet Underground and autodidactic brilliance of The Slights, but it's the wide-eyed willingness that makes their first release and debut album The New Eves is rising that makes this Brighton band something very very special.

July 29, 2025 • 55 mins
Swerving a teenage job at his uncle's timber yard, Laurie Vincent only ever wanted to be in a band. Soft Play shouldn't work on paper (guitar, stand-up drums, Adidas tracksuits), but it definitely does work blasted loud in massive venues. Laurie has loved, lost and reconnected as he's grown up in public. Heavy Jelly is Soft Play's return to enjoyable disruption and destruction. Now with bumper edition Heavier Jelly - ft. Kate Nash...
