Flying Vinyl Podcast Craig Evans

In the first of our newly revamped Flying Vinyl podcast we headed to our new home at Pirate Studios in West London to meet indie sensations Black Honey ahead of the announcement of their debut album. The interview is a hugely in-depth look at the bands life over the last three years and everything that’s about to come. In the interview we chat about

inventing the idea of being a woman in a rock band (3:17), shit jobs, (5:18), cinematic referencing (7:36), dropping the strict ‘no synth policy’ (10:20), the outrageous new album (12:14), filming at a western-style theme park without permission (17:30), soul sapping social media (21:30), getting pissed in label meetings (27:05), what it means to be a Flying Vinyl band (31:00), how being a woman in tech is tougher than being a woman in music (33:06) and finish with newly released anthem ‘I Only Hurt The Ones I Love’. Viva La Revolution.

In a first for the Flying Vinyl podcast we brought the incredible Jerry Williams into the studio to record a couple of acoustic versions of the tracks she recently put out on Flying Vinyl and of course have a chat with Sarah Thomas about her career to date.

Having first put out a record with The Orielles in early 2015, they went onto the grace the stage at our first ever Flying Vinyl festival and now release a debut album on Heavenly. We sent Jess to eat nachos with the guys in East London and catch up!

Transgressive Record are one of the most exciting indie labels in the industry. Now with a 15 year legacy behind them we went over to have a chat about how they got going on a shoe-string budget, what it means to run a label in the digital age and staying true to what they love.

Demob Happy, originally from Newcastle but inherited by Brighton, have become riotous cult heroes of the scene. They've just released a new album and talk about the maddest gigs they've played, bands they're into and why vinyl's great.
