Little sneaky peak at the some of the ace episodes we’ve got coming up. First one to guess all three wins half a curly wurly.

We’ve had over 2.5 thousand listens since we started this podcast and it’s kind of blown us away to be honest. We’re the same as every band - we are at mercy of AI that limits our reach unless we pay
For it, which is fu***ng s**t. Thank you all for sticking with us and for all the messages of support. Please keep sharing the links and We will continue to interview the best bands from the DIY scene and still mix it up with some turbo legends from around the world. We are having a blast doing this and I know it’s helped get us three through lockdown 1. Massive massive thanks to all the bands and artists that have taken the time to come on the show and have a giggle with us so far. If you want to come on and hang out, drop us a message and we’ll sort it. Bands, venues, photographers, road crew - give us a shout and come and hang out!! As ever, without the generosity of bands sharing their music it would be a bit less brilliant as having Gav hum the theme tune everytime we need to go for a p**s, and would get real boring real quick. So if you want to feature on the podcast, email downloadable mp3 or WAV Files to [email protected] and we will play it.
Once again, thank you all for for being part of this mad thing we
Love doing. Stay safe and HIT. PLAY.
