Episode 128: Mucksavage
Today I am joined on the podcast by James Foy of Bedroom Bop Rock band from Belfast, Mucksavage!I'll be chatting with James about the beginnings of his interest in music, how this band was formed and the band's debut single, 'Dirty Chin', which was released in October of this year.Written by James as a subconscious way to process the grief of losing his uncle, he was careful to keep the song from being drenched in sadness, instead aiming for a hopeful tone. This is all woven into a rich sonic tapestry, featuring gnarly fuzz bass, torn-speaker guitars juxtaposed with delicate acoustic picking, and driven by Albini-esque drums. The song also has an accompanying music video, which was actually shot in James' uncle's home. On top of all this we'll be chatting about what the band has planned for 2025, including some news about the band's next single and other stories such as Peter Steele of Type O Negative on Jerry Springer and how great 'Stop Making sense' is.Mucksavage - Dirty Chin (Spotify)Dirty Chin Official Video Hosted on Acast.

Episode 126: Cell Games
Cell Games make their grand return to the podcast!I'm joined on the podcast by Tristan to talk about the band's brand new single, 'Witches X Bitches', which will be released this Thursday on the 12th of December, a much scarier day than Friday the 13th. I've seen this song performed so many times, for me it's always a highlight of the band's set so to finally have it released and to chat about it was tremendous fun.The single will also be released alongside a fantastic music video which I cannot wait to see people's reactions to it. Cell Games will also be playing alongside amazing bands such as Cob the Dude, Whitethorrn and Idle Discourse as part of Outkastz Christmas party which is set to be an amazing night of music to send off the holiday season!We'll also of course be chatting about how great Sum 41 are, genre-specific attire, why you shouldn't put hairspray on your eyes and how many members are in Alkaline Trio.
