Bitchin' Brew

Fire up the projector, pop yourself some popcorn and try not to think about the impending death of the universe (or the inevitable Liam Neeson film about the impending death of the universe)… It's time for Bitchin' Brew's first annual Films of the Year Special! Join Danny and his special guest, journalist extraordinaire and all-round lovely chap James Hickie, as they look back at the year in film both on the big and small screen: from blockbuster releases to golden nuggets of indie cinema, and everything in between. Expect chat about the likes of 1917, Parasite, The Lighthouse, Da 5 Bloods, Queen & Slim and many more, plus what *that* thing that happened this year has meant for film-lovers – outside of that, it's just two guys nerding out about an artform that they hold very close to their respective hearts... What more could you want from a film podcast?!

WE'RE BACK, AND WE'RE MORE BITCHIN' THAN EVER! After a short hiatus, Danny teams up once again with Dan Fisher (AKA The Albatross of Bitchin' Brew) to look back at the year in new music, because let's face it: there's little else to be cheery about when talking about the year of our satanic majesty 2020, is there? Tune in as Danny and Dan count down their respective top 10 albums of the last 12 months – from rousing post-rock to blistering hardcore to whimsical indie-folk to arguably perfect pop music. Our dynamic duo also hand out this year's 'Golden Teabags' for achievements in alternative music, including Best EP, Breakthrough Artist, Record Label, Track and Overall Artist. -- SUBSCRIBE TO BITCHIN' BREW – Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts: smarturl.it/bitchinbrew Join the BITCHIN' CREW, the official Facebook community for friends, fans and listeners of Bitchin' Brew: facebook.com/groups/2374640246196440 Facebook: facebook.com/bxtchxnbrew Twitter: twitter.com/BitchinBrewPod Instagram: instagram.com/bitchinbrewpod Email: b.brewcast@gmail.com Theme tune: 'Woes' by Scarecrow Boat (Courtesy of Ol' Boat Records: olboatrecords.limitedrun.com)

Danny hangs out (virtually, of course) with Jack Rogers, frontman of London-based punk upstarts Out of Love, just days before the release of their debut EP, 'I Am Not Me'. Over the course of their Zoom call, they talk about the formation of the band and all the plans which have since been scuppered by the teeny-weeny matter of a global pandemic... It's not all doom and gloom, however: along the way they also chat about Jack's work as a graphic designer and how he drew inspiration from DIY culture to form the band's visual identity, as well as silly string, cocktails and dogs... Out of Love's debut EP, 'I Am Not Me', is out July 17th via Venn Records. Seek it out on all digital platforms or grab a copy of the EP on very pretty limited edition transparent yellow 7" vinyl (merch bundles also available): https://vennrecords.com/shop/bands/out-of-love/out-of-love-i-am-not-me-vinyl/ Also be sure to follow Jack on Instagram and check out his awesome graphic design work: https://www.instagram.com/jackwilliamrogers/ / https://www.instagram.com/getarealjobkid/ -- SUBSCRIBE TO BITCHIN' BREW – Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts: http://smarturl.it/bitchinbrew Join the BITCHIN' CREW, the official Facebook community for friends, fans and listeners of Bitchin' Brew: https://facebook.com/groups/2374640246196440 Facebook: https://facebook.com/bxtchxnbrew Twitter: https://twitter.com/BitchinBrewPod Instagram: https://instagram.com/bitchinbrewpod Email: b.brewcast@gmail.com Theme tune: 'Woes' by Scarecrow Boat (Courtesy of Ol' Boat Records: olboatrecords.limitedrun.com)

Danny teams up not only with longtime friends of the podcast, but with another pod entirely! At the start of lockdown, Ben Pollard and Dan Fisher set out to watch 100 films starring the much-misunderstood (and equally as misguided) actor Nicolas Cage, in as many days. They have been documenting their hilarious and sometimes harrowing experiences through their new podcast, Uncaged, which Danny recently appeared on! Join Danny, Ben and Dan (and Dan's dog Tofu, who contributes nothing other than looking cute for the cover art) as they talk about the highs and lows of Cage's oeuvre, from his 'Golden Run' and Oscar-winning glory to, well... the bees. Along the way, there's chat on Danny's amateur baking skills, weird Reddit cults, COVID-related merch drops and a man's discovery of fruit in his early 30s... -- Listen to Uncaged now on your podcast streaming platform of choice: bit.ly/uncagedpodcast Not mentioned enough on the pod: Ben is also an extremely talented videographer and photographer, go and check out his stuff at vimeo.com/bennypvideo // Dan has played in loads of great bands, most recently Guillotine: wellbeokhere.limitedrun.com -- SUBSCRIBE TO BITCHIN' BREW – Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts: smarturl.it/bitchinbrew Join the BITCHIN' CREW, the official Facebook community for friends, fans and listeners of Bitchin' Brew: facebook.com/groups/2374640246196440 Facebook: facebook.com/bxtchxnbrew Twitter: twitter.com/BitchinBrewPod Instagram: instagram.com/bitchinbrewpod) Email: b.brewcast@gmail.com Theme tune: 'Woes' by Scarecrow Boat (Courtesy of Ol' Boat Records: olboatrecords.limitedrun.com)

In the first instalment of a series of what will hopefully be Bitchin' conversations brought to you from lockdown, Danny gets on a Zoom call with the returning Apocalyptic Riff Wizard himself, Sammy Urwin: guitarist of **insert name of pretty much any and every band here**. During this chat, Sammy recalls the events leading up to Employed to Serve and Renounced's UK & EU tour cancellations (cheers Covid) and looks to what lies ahead for the UK music industry following the pandemic.

Danny checks in with two-fifths of Brit experimental metal firebrands Loathe - vocalist Kadeem France and bassist Feisal El-Khazragi - following the release of their phenomenal second album, 'I Let It In and It Took Everything'.

It's a new year! And a new year means a bunch of new(ish) artists to get excited about! To usher in what promises to be a very loud 2020, Danny teams up with Just An Insight's Tim Birkbeck to discuss 10 bands who will dominate the next 12 months – from heart-wrenching post-hardcore to bum-wiggling stoner rock to incendiary feminist rave-punk..
