Blindness, Vinyl & First Times Down Under – James from The Murder Capital. The Mixtape Podcast Ep 95
On this raw and reflective episode of The Mixtape, we catch up with James McGovern, frontman of the critically acclaimed Irish post-punk band The Murder Capital.
James opens up about the band’s first-ever Australian tour, the emotional depths of their new album Blindness, and his deep love for vinyl records—both collecting and creating them. With poetic insight and a punk rock edge, James shares what drives their intense live performances and how their sound continues to evolve.
As always, we ask our guest to build a personal mixtape—a curated journey through the songs and artists that have shaped his artistic soul.
🎤 For fans of fearless songwriting, post-punk revival, and vinyl culture, this episode is a must-listen.
