Is This Thing On Podcast

This is the last ever Is This Thing On Podcast episode. BUT we continue under the new name of Nick Tanns Fresh Music Fix. As I explain in the audio, I have to close this feed down as I can't get the new show out until I do. If you want to continue to the new show, which is pretty much the same show, then go to nicktannsfreshmusicfix.com, add your email address and sign up. Then you will get an email when the first show goes live. Then you can sign up to that if you wish. If you have any questions, make a comment via this website and I will do my best to answer it or use the contact form below. This site will stay just where it is and you can still listen to the many hundreds of episodes it has. I love you all GOODBYEEEEEEE!  

Sounds crazy but make sure to subscribe to this if you want to find out out about the NEW podcast. I still have some work to do to make the new show happen and it will take a few weeks before I have it all together so I will need a way to let you know. Listen to the show to find out what it will be called but I will be posting on the website when it is all ready. In the meantime, the last show that Chris and I recorded and explains more about how and why we are changing the podcast. We also welcome any suggestions. REMEMBER SUBSCRIBE NOW!   'Rock Atmospherique" with a real feel of Leonard Cohen, Interpol, Mogwai & the National whilst diving into Shoe Gaze type stoner rock with stunning vocals from. We play and chat about Le Bruit and Idle hands, Head swinging, driving pop with Divine Comedy vibes. We play and praise Carl Street and California. In his hard rocking to the late great Jim Morrison, we experience what it's like to listen to Michael Botte Bandand Other Side on headphones. It's great! "An indie rock banger, steeped in 90s nostalgia but bang up to date in execution". It says here and we can't help but agree. I would add that there is a touch of Stone Roses and The Stranglers. With vocals from  Jeff of JHM (Ontario) and MJ Adamo (Long Island, NY) What started off as a student band from Cheshire in the 1990s called DontARgue have now bloomed into TheFods and VolumesOfSilence os one of 7 brand new songs from their spanky new ep availsble here. And finally, remember when Coldplay when they actually meant something good?  If you love  Midlands indie rock outfits, then  Little Juke and When The Sea Came To Tea are just what you need! It's a superb piece of music that will put you in mind of Radiohead, Foals and Arcade Fire. We loved it! Remember to subscribe, and we will see you on the other side!
