• Yee Loi Live Performance & Interview

  This week, we’re joined by Yee Loi — a three-piece punk rock band from the Wirral whose sound blends sharp riffs, driving rhythm, and melodic bite. Sisters Rose (guitar, vocals) and Matilda (drums, vocals), alongside their brother Donnie on bass, bring the kind of energy that can (and did) shake a record shop to its core.They grew up cutting their teeth on classic punk, learning to play loud in a family barn before writing their own songs — full of attitude, hooks, and heart.🎶 Live in session, they perform:1️⃣ Ghost of Vegas2️⃣ Mystery Train3️⃣ Be Like Johnny4️⃣ Down in the Bunker — a brand new, unreleased track 👀After the set, we sit down to talk about their songwriting, growing up in a musical household, and what’s next for the band, including their upcoming tour with Adam Ant. 💿 Recorded live at Dead Air Records.

• The 25 Most Overrated Albums?! The Beatles, Nirvana, Radiohead

  We’re taking the bait this week with The Independent's controversial article: The 25 Most Overrated Albums. From The Beatles to Nirvana, Madonna to Radiohead, it’s a list guaranteed to get people talking. We go album by album to see what we agree with, what we absolutely don’t, and who has no business being on there. And because we couldn’t resist, we’ve added in some of our own picks for albums we think might just be a little overrated… 👀💿 Across The Counter Each week, we take you “across the counter” to share something weird, wonderful, or unexpected that’s landed in the shop. This time we’re staying Liverpool-themed:First up is Rutherford Chang’s We Buy White Albums – an art project that turns endless pressings of The Beatles’ White Album into something obsessive, playful, and a little haunting: Then we dust off a true curio: Twist & Samba, a 1986 compilation by the Sefton Area Musicians and Bands Association. Recorded at Benson St. Studios, it captures a group of young, mainly unemployed Liverpool musicians putting their own stamp on the city’s musical story.✨ Liverpool SpotlightIn our Liverpool Spotlight, we shine a light on the artists and scenes that make the city’s music culture so rich right now.This week we’re talking Blue Jean, an indie/alt artist weaving warm, fuzzy guitars, spooky organ tones, and a hazy 60s vibe that recalls Nancy Sinatra and The Doors. Her 2023 EP Little Intricacies is well worth a listen, and she’s live at Kazimier Stockroom on 8 October, supporting Cosmic Crooner.We’re also buzzing about Live Jazz in Liverpool, a brand-new Instagram page that pulls together daily jazz listings across the region. From Petit Café Du Coin to District, Fredericks, and even out-of-town spots like Prescot, it’s fast becoming the go-to for Liverpool jazz heads.Hot takes, local treasures, and the magic of music collecting — that’s what we’re here for.The Dead Air Records podcast is hosted by Marc and Jess.
