James Ludbrook returns!

He's back!....... for another brutally candid conversation about music, bands, getting older and the strange places a life in music can take you. James opens up about the fallout surrounding WxrldFxcker, why members walked away, and the personal toll of being kicked out of Damaged years earlier. He talks about the possibility of a Damaged reunion, selling around 100,000 records in the US while seeing none of the money, and why some wounds between old bandmates never quite disappear. We also get into the reality of trying to keep making music while raising a family and working, including James playing shows while seriously ill and facing possible surgery. Then things head somewhere completely different. AI, the future of creative work, whether metal has actually progressed since the 1990s, old-school cassette culture, ridiculously valuable vintage band shirts and the gloriously stupid imaginary world of Homocore. Funny, uncomfortable, nostalgic and occasionally pretty raw. James Ludbrook is back, and very little is off limits.
