Heavy emphasis on the “hanging” as the podcast this week finds Dewsbury suffering from a fairly sizeable hangover. Unsurprisingly - and rightly so - Moose has precisely zero sympathy.

The rock news this week includes details of Pendulum's long...

Will it be a tour announcement, unreleased tracks, or even a second part to the new album? Either way...

After the standard discussion of ridiculously early mornings, coffee, and bugs, Moose and Dews finally get on with it this week, as Dews chats with Skindred’s Benji Webbe about the bands’ newly-completed ninth album(!), their upcoming SMR25 show in Stevenage, and the potential for future festival appearances.

Moose returns to the podcast, so this week he and Dews catch up, with the main topic of conversation being Download 2025 headliners Sleep Token. The guys ask the question “are they overrated?” and the answer may surprise you.
