Very happy to welcome Charlie Fink to the podcast this week. His band Noah and the Whale have a new album on the way, and he talks about the thrill of recording live and making mistakes, being a stylistic magpie and how he feels about people filming his gigs on their phone.
Charlie's also with us for Singles Club, where the pod ruminate on tracks from Phoenix, Duke Dumont and Carbon Silicon.
At the start of the year, Fall Out Boy – on indefinite hiatus since 2009 – denied they had any plans to return. Guess what? They were lying. The emo giants have returned with a surprise new album called Save Rock'n'Roll that takes them a long way from their pop-punk roots. Pete Wentz and Patrick Stump came in to talk to Michael Hann.
In addition, we have some twerking advice, plus the best and most overlooked Thatcher protest song … from France.
