"The very first “post-surf” band. This London four-piece (extended to five on stage) was formed in 2021 when Connie came to London from France and met Archie (bass) from Worcester and Steve (guitar) from York. They blended their influences so seamlessly that they had to invent an actual genre to describe their sound. “Post-surf” is a pun to the “post-punk” dominion over the London scene of the past decade, alluding to the twist operated by these boys: post-modern themes in their lyrics and reflections on the chaos of modern life, but the warm and soothing sun of 60s California on the surface, embodied by their trademark four-part harmonies, surf guitars, and inexplicably strange chords. Their first album, a series of haunting ballads expunged in an effort to shave down their growing catalog, was released in 2025. “Poorly Planned Missions… Executed Worse” features ten tracks dripping with the band’s sonic identity and commitment to writing a song that sounds like it could never be written twice. Having opened for acts like The Big Pink and The Molotovs, they are gearing up for the release of the much louder follow-up to their debut, a cinematic whirlpool of indie bangers, introduced by their brand new single ‘Neverknows’.”
For episode 100 I'm joined I'm joined by a massive guest, from the actual, literal, bloody Maccabees.... it's Orlando Weeks!
For Episode 99 I'm joined by JJerome87! Joe has had an illustrious career as the frontman of one of the biggest bands in the world for the last 15 years. Alt J have had number 1 albums, headlined festivals, won the Mercury Music Prize and NME Awards. They've been nominated for Brit Awards, headlined The Other Stage at Glastonbury and have a legacy that dreams are made of. But this year Joe released his debut solo album - The Canyon under the moniker of JJerome87. It's an Americana tinged masterpiece and is out now on Mushroom Music via Virgin Music Group. For this episode Joe's album of choice is is Radiohead's Amnesiac. It's an seismic album from one of the biggest bands in the world, so naturally we spend most of the conversation talking about books, teenage hormones and cats. We talk a LOT about cats. It's an absolutely massive guest and I had so much fun talking to Joe. Enjoy irresponsibly.
