The Cribs - "We became lawyers and won our rights back"

November 25, 2025 • 35 mins
No-one expected The Cribs to become lawyers. Not because they're working class brothers from Wakefield, or they smashed themselves through a glass vase at the NME Awards in 2006 (24–7 Rock Star Shit) . But because they write absolute belters and shouldn't need to think about fighting for the right to be a-party to the rights of their own catalogue. They did anyway, though.

Cameron Winter (Geese) - Dog Walking in New York

November 23, 2025 • 27 mins
In case you missed it before Geese became the most talked about band in the world, we heard from frontperson and songwriter Cameron Winter this time last year. It was just around the time of his excellent debut album Heavy Metal, which a few weeks later he played songs from in a church in East London to a couple of hundred very quiet and respectful revellers. I doubt that kind of intimate setting will be possible for Geese again. H...

Lily Lyons - "I followed my strange instinct and was correct"

November 13, 2025 • 19 mins

Saul Adamczewski's Insecure Men - "Every time things get good, I become a saboteur"

November 4, 2025 • 27 mins
A bruised man with beautiful songs, Saul Adamczewski is seven months sober with a new Insecure Men album. He was offered the chance to make A Man For All Seasons when he was living in a South London cupboard strung out on meth amphetamine, providing a lifeline not only to continue making music ("it's the only thing I can do") but to put the Fat White Family member a mentally and physically healthier direction.
