FEATURE INTERVIEW – THE SCARLET REBELS
August was quite a month for The Scarlet Rebels – we called their new album ‘Show Your Colours’ as our ‘Album of the Month’ – and days later around 3,000 people voted the band as listener choice ‘Band of the Month’ in a 48-hour snap poll. We’ve never had a band win both in the […]
WEB EXCUSIVE: THESE WICKED RIVERS – EDEN
Last week, I had a chat on the phone with These Wicked Rivers. A clip of the interview aired on my show last Friday, but here’s the full, uncut thing as an online special. Dan and Sam from the band talk about their evolution through the early EPs, the fundraiser for the new album ‘Eden,’ […]
SHORT INTERVIEW: BAD TOUCH – YEAR IN REVIEW
One of the success stories of a new generation of guitar bands. Our story with the band started with album one back in 2016. For this interview clip, Stevie is in relaxed mood as we reflect on the band’s year – both the highlights of the last year and plans for the months ahead.
SHORT INTERVIEW: NIKKI SMASH – ALBUM 3
A summer 2019 catch up with Nikki from The Rocket Dolls, covering a wide range of topics including; music education, touring with Tequila Mockingbyrd, the new album, video shoots and beauty products. Marvellous!
SHORT INTERVIEW: WICKED STONE
Summer 2019, news on the band’s plans for the year ahead – new music and touring. We also talked about the state of the music scene and, as a funny aside, we considered how the boys could carry on from where Ryders Creed left of with Dragon’s Den.
REVIVAL BLACK – ‘STEP IN LINE’
SEPTEMBER ALBUM OF THE MONTH As debut albums go, this record doesn’t need the hype machine, it just needs to be played once and it will grab you. With ‘Step In Line’ Revival Black mark their arrival in thunderous, emphatic fashion. People that listen to my Friday radio show will know all too well that […]
FEATURE INTERVIEW: 4TH LABYRINTH
My first of two features with 4th Labyrinth this year was a phone interview aired in two parts over two weeks. We cover a lot of ground and tackle some pretty big issues, but with a playful sense of fun. No matter how serious the industry issues, we never lose sight of the fact that […]
FEATURE INTERVIEW: SUMMER WITH LYNNE JACKAMAN
A collection of two interviews with Lynne Jackaman done at the start (May) and end (August) of summer 2019 – put together for the first time. After many serious chats putting the world to rights, for these two we get a bit silly – a sign perhaps that we know how to do an interview […]
FEATURE INTERVIEW: VERITY WHITE AT WILDFIRE
Following up on a number of interview shorts in early 2019, I caught up with Verity White at Wildfire for a fuller, feature interview. Playful fun mixes spontaneously with serious discussion on some big issues. A feature that captures well the energy, life and character of the artist behind the music.
FEATURE INTERVIEW: WHITE RAVEN DOWN – GUILTY PLEASURES
The second of two features I recorded with rising rockforce White Raven Down at Wildfire in June 2019. As a bit of fun, the band were picked to come up with a list of guilty pleasure tracks to include for a rock covers album. It all got a bit silly. Guest appearances from Keith Lamley […]
