Down With Boring Dork

This week’s edition of our flagship podcast-slash-radio-show-slash-thingy Down With Boring features special guests aren’t-they-doing-well ‘viral’ sensations Good Neighbours.


The duo have had a storming year so far, with breakthrough track ‘Home’ running up hundreds of millions of streams as they mark themselves out as one of the most exciting new bands ‘around’. Elsewhere on the latest DWB, we’re looking at the new albums from Billie Eilish and Wallows, and checking out the latest releases from Lava La Rue, CMAT, Beabadoobee, Cardinals, flowerovlove, Amyl & The Sniffers and more.

This week’s edition of our flagship podcast-slash-radio-show-slash-thingy Down With Boring comes to you live (well, recorded live) and direct (well, after a few days of editing) from last week’s bumper edition of Dork’s Night Out.


Taking place at London’s iconic 100 Club last Wednesday (8th May), we’re chatting to our future superstar headliner and Hype List 2024 cover queen Nell Mescal, the impossibly brilliant Lexie Carroll and the equally fantastic Scout. Three chats for the price of one, and it’s free anyway. Now that’s a deal.

They’ve just come off a UK tour that saw them live streaming to more people on the Dork Instagram than could fit in the venue they were playing (and London’s KOKO is no tiny circuit venue, ‘FYI’). With their new album ‘Midnight Butterflies’ imminent, Dork indie faves Sea Girls are back in to Down With Boring this week.


Plus! We’ll be talking the new album from current cover star Lizzy McAlpine, checking out new music from Glass Animals, Charli XCX, Baby Queen and Lorde, and meeting brilliant new bands Soft Launch, The Itch and Good Neighbours.

This week, we’re ‘live’ from Brighton’s Prince Albert with Panic Shack and Plantoid for Son Estrella Galacia’s mini-fest of live music, beer culture, gastronomy, and a commitment to “positive environmental impact”. Oooo, etc.

Down With Boring is embracing chaos this week, as we’re joined by special guests, Courting.


With their second album, ‘New Last Name, ‘ out earlier this year, the former Dork cover stars are typically ‘good value’, as ever. Elsewhere on this week’s show we’ll be chatting through new music from Bleachers, Yard Act, Conan Gray, Been Stellar, Hinds, Charli XCX and more.

English Teacher are on the road to a debut album that’s more than worth the wait. Taking a break from roaming around Bruges to call in from separate hotel rooms, elsewhere on this week’s show we’ll be chatting through new music from IDLES, Crawlers, Lime Garden, Alfie Templeman, Thomas Headon and Talk Show.
