Hello listeners, and welcome to the latest edition of Music Weekly. Earlier this year, it was revealed that happy-go-lucky indie popsters the Rumble Strips would be teaming up with producer-to-the-stars Mark Ronson for their new record. Paul MacInnes caught up with lead singer Charlie Waller and the horny knob-twiddler himself to discuss the band's new album, Welcome to the Walk Alone. He also hears how Ronson's experience of working with Amy Winehouse contributed to proceedings. Oh, and why his sister and her mates get their kicks from waterboarding each other. Er, you what?
Moving on, we're joined by the Guardian's chief music critic Alexis Petridis for this week's Singles Club. He helps Paul and Rosie Swash review new music from the Gossip and We Have Band, plus the latest Friendly Fires remix. And the Swash is also around to meet dream-pop trio School of Seven Bells in the studio. Benjamin Curtis and Alejandra Deheza explain why they dropped their former bands to form SOSB two years ago and why lucid dreaming and sleep paralysis inspire their music. They also contribute a live track, because they're nice like that.
Last but most definitely not least, Football Weekly's cult star Barry Glendenning gets on the Feature With No Name bandwagon to explain his love of Irish rockers Toasted Heretic.
