NEW EPISODE OUT NOW!!
(Link in Bio)

We're back with another episode and we've got ourselves another Chardonnay, this time from California...and in a surprising turn of events, it seems that we actually enjoy Chardonnay far more than we initially expected...

Jaff gives his rundown of another bloody wonderful Bloodstock, Sid is still not in Slipknot (we think), Paul McCartney shares a gem of wisdom...and there's rather a long discussion about spaff. And, of course, we both give our recommendations of must-see bands at ArcTangent later this week!

Amongst this weeks releaes there's been horror soundtracks, black metal, Canadian hardcore....and much much more! Plenty for you to get stuck into!

The start of our Chardonnay journey sees Jake bring us an incredible bottle of English white….from just down the road! We have a look at the label and see some interesting things…

NEW EPISODE OUT NOW!!
(Link in Bio)

We now leave the winery's of South America behind us, which means it's time to get Jake Doherty back...and this time he comes armed with a bottle of Chardonnay from somewhere a lot closer to home!

It's 'bye-bye'to Sid, Five Finger Death Punch continue to subject the world to the absolute dregs of the musical barrel, Bryn gets awfully cross about a TV remote, Jaff does unusual things to his lawn....oh, and always remember to wash your bell tents in the bathtub!!

Continuing on the recent trend of absolutely phenomenal music releases, this week sees two fantastic post-metal records, a funky fever dream from Bootsy Colins himseif, and a collection of some of the most dissonant, avant-garde albums we've seen this year!!
