Episode 33 - Charlie Rolfe (As Everything Unfolds)

We can't, and won't, say we have favourite guests on this podcast. But, Charlie Rolfe is one of our favourite guests. Join us as we have a good natter with the As Everything Unfolds vocalist about two-day hangovers, favourite species of birds and the nerves that come with playing in front of a thousands-strong Download audience. The similar thrill of supporting local heroes Enter Shikari is also on the agenda. In a more serious section, Charlie sheds light on just how difficult touring E...

Episode 32 - Andy Gilmour (Hundred Reasons)

Let's be honest, very few of us thought Hundred Reasons would make music again. Most of us also didn't expect Glorious Sunset to be their best record yet, and easily one of the stand-out rock albums of 2023. No-one thought they'd come on a podcast of such little merit. Join us as we sit down with bassist Andy Gilmour, pre-release, and take a nostalgia trip through video rental stores, minidisc players, Leeds Festival and Top of the Pops. Internet banking phishing scams, Spotify roy...

Episode 31 - Luke & Josh (Pupil Slicer)

This time we're joined by Luke and Josh, two thirds of brutal UK metal outfit Pupil Slicer. They're lovely lads too, which adds to our theory that the nastiest, heaviest bands are always the most pleasant people you can ever chat to. While we do have a chat about their musical influences, YouTube reaction videos and their upcoming record, we also spent a hefty amount of time discussing which animal has the best eyeballs. Standard.Before Luke and Josh jump in, it's all about Center Parcs,...

Episode 30 - Gordon Morison (Raging Speedhorn) returns!

Almost two years ago, Gordon Morison regaled us with rock and roll stories of stolen drumkits, run-ins with Slipknot and revenge-based drinking. The perfect fit for our comeback, it only felt natural to kick off the next phase of TOFTP with one of our most popular guests. Joining us from beautiful Wales, Gordon discusses being executed in a music video, the Corby trouser press (that's not from Corby) and a gig that was cancelled after half a song when a 'urination error' blew the venue's...

Episode 28 - Will Putney (Fit For An Autopsy, producer)

We had babies (well, our wives did) and we're back from our PITernity leave. And what a guest to come back with! Will Putney doesn't really need an introduction, but, just for our parents, he's a guitarist in New Jersey's premier deathcore band Fit For An Autopsy, and has also produced some of the best metal and hardcore records of the last 20 years - including releases from Knocked Loose, Body Count, Terror, Norma Jean, Gojira, Every Time I Die (RIP) and many, many more. We only h...

Episode 27 - Sergio Medina (Eidola)

Gather, friends, as we sit down with the incredibly talented and wonderfully warm Sergio Medina, who joins us from Las Vegas. Sergio plays guitar in Eidola and Royal Coda, and is also Vice President of Blue Swan Records. As if all that wasn't impressive enough, he also has the best hair of any guest we've had on this podcast. We dive into Eidola's brilliant new record, The Architect, and chat about how it came to be. But, if you've listened before you know we tend to only talk abou...

Episode 26 - Randy Frobel (We Were Sharks)

Randy Frobel is an incredibly nice, incredibly busy guy. As well being the frontman of Canadian pop punk heroes We Were Sharks, he plays amateur league baseball, performs in a popular covers band AND finds time to write solo songs and play video games. We hate him for all of this.Luckily for us, Randy also has time to be part of our offbeat podcast. Things go off on a massive tangent very quickly this time as we look at the differences between cricket and baseball (spoiler alert - cricket is ...
