Show Notes
For episode 91 I'm joined by a genuine indie hero...
From the ACTUAL, LITERAL Mystery Jets..... it's Blaine Harrison!!!
Mystery Jets really are one of "those" bands aren't they? For over 20 years their music has been a constant in my life and been there to soundtrack the moments of heartbreak, joy, melancholy and everything in between that every Millennial has been through.
Now with new album A Hole To See The Sky Through set for release on the 21st of August, there's a new batch of incredible songs that we get to make new memories to.
In the episode we talk all about getting Yoko's approval on the absolutely massive sounding new record, touring with Arctic Monkeys on the NME Awards tour in 2006 and we also deep dive the bonkers world of The Coral's debut album.
Mystery Jets are on an instore tour this August and a full UK tour in November with a huge show at Kentish Town Forum.
See you down the front?

"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’.”
