Freshly Squeezed: A New Music Podcast

Here we gooooo! New music time and there are another brilliant three acts to get your ears around on the latest Freshly Squeezed podcast... three is, of course, the magic number.
Once you hit play here is what you are going to get...
Part Time Model: Some bands spend years searching for a sound. Leeds newcomers Part Time Model seem to have arrived with one already fully formed. Blending jazzy flourishes, psychedelic textures and a distinctly retro cool, their debut single Cut Off Point feels cinematic in the best possible way - An assured first statement from a band that already sound like they know exactly who they are.
The Memos: The Memos, Heaven Takes Two is the sound of a band chasing to evolve rather than stand still. Their self-styled "2.0 era" leans into bigger emotions, sharper songwriting and a more focused creative vision, while retaining the indie sensibilities that turned heads in the first place.
Dead Poet Society: One of the most exciting rock bands operating on either side of the Atlantic right now. Dead Poet Society deal in massive riffs, relentless energy and controlled chaos! They're rapidly becoming impossible to ignore. If you like your rock loud, ambitious and unapologetically modern, get on board now.
Need even more new music... every Friday we update the Freshly Squeezed Spotify playlist and you can find that here.

Ready to dive into some awesome new music. Another 3 brilliant artists lined up for this weeks new music podcast - along with some exciting news about a new live show that is coming very soon to a town near you... as long as you live in or near Stockport!
But, in terms of what you care about now. Here's what Jim's put on the slate for this week's show...
Aderyn: One of the most distinctive new voices emerging from Wales right now, Aderyn blends shimmering alternative pop with trip-hop inspired grooves and razor-sharp songwriting. There's a touch of Massive Attack in the beats, plenty of modern indie attitude, and a real confidence that shines throughout her new EP Hot Pink!
Luke Branch: Best known as the frontman of cult indie-punks Asylums, Luke Branch's solo material feels anything but a one-man operation. Packed with huge, layered arrangements, psychedelic textures and punk rock urgency, his songs burst with creativity and ambition. Away from the band, Luke's freedom, ambition and imagination run wilds!
Frieda Star: Hailing from Wolverhampton, Frieda Star deliver fuzzy, distortion-soaked indie rock with one foot firmly planted in working-class Britain. Drawing comparisons to The Strokes and the garage rock revival that followed, their sound combines swaggering riffs, relentless energy and infectious hooks.
Come along to the first EVER Freshly Squeezed LIVE at Bask in Stockport on 22nd October. Full details and tickets here: https://www.skiddle.com/whats-on/Stockport/Bask-Stockport/Freshly-Squeezed-LIVE/42834814/?preview=a1e26d28f9

Some VERY exciting bands pop up on this weeks offering of new music via the Freshly Squeezed podcast.
Jim Salveson is in the hot seat again, this week chatting too:
The Love Buzz: Despite a name that suggests glitterballs and 70s disco, The Love Buzz deal in something far grittier. Their sound sits somewhere between grunge, indie rock and garage swagger, delivering fuzzy guitars, infectious hooks and plenty of attitude. Chaos and melody in equal measure.
Camens: Back after a lengthy spell away, Camens return sounding revitalised and more self-assured than ever. The Stoke outfit have traded some of their indie-pop brightness for a darker, more cinematic edge, while retaining the knack for memorable melodies that first put them on the map. New single Anything To Win marks the start of an exciting new chapter for the band.
Radio Free Alice: Melbourne's Radio Free Alice may be based on the other side of the world, but their musical DNA is steeped in the finest British post-punk and new wave traditions. Sharp, stylish and endlessly danceable, they're rapidly becoming one of Australia's most exciting guitar bands.

Time for another freshly picked batch of new music on Freshly Squeezed: A New Music Podcast.
This week, Jim Salveson is joined by three very different artists making waves with brand-new releases:
Bau Cat: The quirky North Wales outfit blending sharp wit, irresistible hooks and a healthy dose of 90s indie energy. They discuss their latest single 'Trapsphere', a satirical swipe at the online Manosphere and the conversations that inspired it.
Michael Cassidy: Featuring his distinctive brogue and heartfelt, piano-driven sound, Michael Cassidy's new song 'The Nurse's Son' explores family, identity and personal reflection. Michael shares the story behind the song and why he's turned the volume up a little for this latest chapter.
TAKEDA: Creators of a sound they describe as somewhere between folk and grunge. Think the raw power of Soundgarden meets the atmosphere of Fleet Foxes. New single 'Lion's Den' channels anger, resilience and catharsis into one unforgettable track.

It's something a bit different and a bit special on this episode of Freshly Squeezed: A New Music Podcast.
Jim Salveson is joined by legendary Manchester guitarist Aziz Ibrahim, best known for his work with The Stone Roses, Ian Brown, Paul Weller, Simply Red, and some of the biggest names in British music.
Although we're usually focused on new releases, Aziz's story centres around an album that's both old and new at the same time. Originally recorded more than 25 years ago, 'Lahore to Longsight' has finally been rediscovered and reissued for Record Store Day 2026 (and along with a nationwide tour) introducing it a new generation to a remarkable piece of Manchester music history.
Aziz reflects on stepping into the Stone Roses following John Squire's departure, the creation of Lahore to Longsight, and the extraordinary cast of musicians who helped bring it to life, including Mani, Reni, Andy Rourke, Mike Joyce, Denise Johnson, Paul Weller, Steve White and Talvin Singh.
The conversation explores how the events of 9/11 impacted the album's original release, the connections between Lahore to Longsight and Ian Brown's classic albums Unfinished Monkey Business and Golden Greats, and why Aziz felt compelled to revisit the record following the loss of several close friends and collaborators.
