This time, we're thrilled to host TAHM, a band whose story stretches across decades and proves that great music doesn’t come with an expiry date. What’s Inside This Episode? 🎤 Dive into TAHM’s beginnings in the 90s and their journey signing to Roadrunner Records. 🎶 Explore their experiences working with top producers and having music featured across film, TV, and radio. 🌟 Discover what led to the band stepping away and what sparked their return 25 years later. 🎸 Hear the story behind their comeback releases, including 17 Years and their BBC Introducing support. 🎧 This episode is packed with honest reflections, lived experience, and powerful live performances. TAHM first formed in the 90s, building early momentum with major label backing and widespread exposure across media.

Since returning, they’ve gained fresh support from BBC Introducing, achieved chart success, and reached new audiences through international radio play. Their current sound carries the same storytelling roots but leans into something more reflective, nostalgic, and lived in.
