It's 1995, it's the summer and all you want to do is party so what do you need? You need a new album featuring Shaun Ryder to neck a load of drugs to and throw yourself around a dancefloor. We're joined by our lovely friend Stephen Hill from the Trve.Cvlt.Pop podcast to cast an eye across Black Grape's debut album 'It's Great When You're Straight... Yeah' and debate its party credentials among other things. The TCP lads have their own episode all about this album on their patreon page already so check it out if you want to hear more of Stephen's opinions. Or, indeed, simply less of ours.
We also take the chance to chat about acts such as Moist, Goldie and of course Dog Eat Dog. And we threw in a fruit-based pop quiz in the middle of the episode for a bit of fun because why not, eh?
As always please do give us a follow on our social media platforms and why not go and give us a nice rating or comment over on Spotify now that you're able to while you're checking out this episode's companion playlist (which contains ALL of the songs we talk about on this one) and our ongoing and sprawling playlist of songs from each album that we do an episode on. And if you want to donate to our PayPal account for the price of a pint or a cup of coffee that is always appreciated as well obviously. Cheers!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
