Show Notes
Brian Fallon is back, baby. Not Bad For New Jersey, out 10 September, is his best batch of songs in years. He wears the same cologne as Blink 182's Travis Barker. He's down with the emo new school of Hot Mulligan, the potent trail of Modern Baseball and the legend of My Chemical Romance. There's even a new Gaslight Anthem album half written!

Go and listen to Sadurn's new album The Underworld for some sad magic. Genevieve and Jon join us on early days in Philadelphia DIY circles, the perfect job and accidentally destroying a town's sewage system. Get The Underworld from Run For Cover - http://runforcoverrecordsuk.com/products/sadurn-the-underworld
Before Bella Poarch released her satisfyingly shapeshifting alt-pop album Picnic at the Cemetery, she had joined the navy as a way to escape her strict childhood. She tells us about her ups and downs, self-producing using affordable recording gear, and creating her own artwork from sketches and dolls.
There's an out of reach desperation in Friko's new record Something Worth Waiting For. Niko Kapetan talks about being a lifer songwriter, odd jobs replenishing vending machines and at a loading dock, and how touring is worth the price.
Robbie and Tony dive into their rise, fall and rise again. After the initial deserved hype of their 2000 debut Since I Left You, the Australian spent 16 years getting their second album together - turning down lucrative anniversary shows and commercial offers to preserve their integrity. Now their new album No Bad Memories, with features from Rivers Cuomo, John Glacier, Mike Patton and Portraits of Tracy, is peaking its full potential.
Alex's new album Give Me A Dream is an absolute gem, you should definitely be listening to it on 23 October. He tells us about doing a comedy bit with Paul McCartney, before snubbing the Beatle for a songwriting session. Also find stories of piano teaching, cleaning and what it feels like going viral.
