Joining me this week is Bethany Hunter from the amazing As December Falls. Their new album, 'Happier', is out TODAY (6th August) so make sure you give it a spin once you’ve listened to the episode. I had a lot of fun chatting to Bethany about growing up as a bit of a goth kid, how it feels to be a female within the alternative music scene and naturally we talked about our adoration for Paramore and Hayley Williams. Is it even a podcast episode if I don’t mention them?

Cassie Fox is an integral part of the DIY grassroots music scene and is doing incredible things to get women's voices heard both on and off stage, so it was an honour to have her on the podcast! In the episode we talk about her love of Madonna and pop music, what it was like playing at Glastonbury and how you're never too old to follow your dreams. 

Joining me this week is Thomas Coe-Brooker from DIY grit-pop trio, Snake Eyes. You may also recognise him from his days spent in Yearbook and as an incredible live music photographer. Honestly it’s quite offensive how talented he is. In the episode we get a look into his childhood – which yes, involved ballroom dancing – as well as hearing his tales from tour and the festival moment that changed his life. He’d also like me to mention that he completely forgot to talk about Coldplay, so just so you’re aware, he loves them too. It’s a long one this week, so go grab a cuppa and settle down for my chat with Thomas Booker.

Joining me this week is rising singer-songwriter, Cian Ducrot. Some of you may know him from TikTok, but believe me, he’s so much more than just another viral star. His voice is stunning and in this episode we go more in-depth about his classical training, how he found his strength as a songwriter and his experiences of music growing up.

Yes, it's another Welsh band, but what can I say? They make good music! This week's episode featured David Bassey (yep, a relation to Shirley!) and we go in-depth about his old-school music tastes, his favourite festival moment and the reason behind the band's flamboyant style.

This week I'm joined by Adam Young from indie-rock band, The Howlers. If you’re one for scuzzy, desert-rock vibes and vintage sounds then this is a band for you. In the episode we talk about following your passions, the Portsmouth music scene and his love of afro-funk. He was also in the car on the way back from Ikea, but personally I think the sound of the sat nav adds a nice touch. 

This week we’re heading up to Scotland for a chat with Connaire from scrappy Scottish rock & roll band, Baby Strange. In the episode we talk about Glasgow’s live music scene, planning for their biggest tour yet and his love of The Clash, Bowie and the many others that shaped his music taste over the years.

This week the podcast has its first ever international guest! Welcoming Australia’s very own Emmy Mack from rising alternative-heavy trio, RedHook. She came straight off stage from their headline tour (yes, live shows!) for a chat about growing up on Disney film soundtracks and how Glam Metal played a huge part in her life.

For You The Moon are Slam Dunk Records’ latest signing, so I caught up with frontman Isaac Cooter to talk about joining the Slam Dunk family, the bands that inspired him and how all that he really wants, is to be a bit cooler.

Ryan Richards from Future History Management is our first Music Industry professional on the podcast, although he did spend the best part of a decade as one of the greatest drummers of all time in Funeral For A Friend. In this episode, we talk about his introduction to heavy music, the rise and fall of the Welsh music scene and why he made the move into management.
