On the latest episode of the All Just Noise Podcast, James and Neil take a look at the ones that got away; the bands they thought would be huge but fizzled off into indie obscurity. There's also a run-down of the latest Spotify playlist craze doing the rounds and as always and four new tunes go under the microscope in the animal-themed reviews segment, the Neily Wild Show. As always, all the music covered in this episode can be found on our Episode 15 playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1syhkUSODvWcrwAIjx5Ozu?si=Nzyqnp5rSsupOUuQhrrkww

As 2021 rumbles on, it seems more important than ever to look forward to returning to those brilliant music venues we used to frequent. Neil and James reminisce about lost venues, unusual venues and some of those who already lost to the ages. There's also a run down of the Shrimp Awards winners and the customary visit to the new release safari that is The Neil-y Wild Show. To ensure your favourite grassroots venue survives, consider donating to the Music Venue Trust's Save Our Venues campaign.  To listen to the tracks and artists discussed in this month's episode, check out our playlist on Spotify.

Christmas is around the corner so Neil and James prepare with this year's festive offering. In this episode, they take a trip to Somerset for Virtual Glastonbury, look at the best of the End of Year polls for 2020, preview four new tracks from the likes of Oscar Lang and Circa Waves and, as custom dictates, they unveil yet another Neil-based pun for their Christmas quiz.  Santa Claus in coming to town (unless you're in Tier 4) so strap in with some mulled wine, get those presents wrapped and have a listen!
