    In this special episode of MyMusic, host Graham Coath sits down with Erick Vidal from the Canadian band Lost Pitch — and it's a full-circle moment of musical nostalgia, creative insight, and candid laughs.From the magic of Pink Floyd intros to the constraints of 2-minute streaming-era tracks, Erick and Graham dig deep into the evolution of songwriting. Why does every track need a hook on a hook on a hook? And what are we losing when we write solely for the algorithm?Erick talks about his deep love for 90s British music (think Oasis, Blur, James, Radiohead), why OK Computer blew his mind, and how Lost Pitch is his way of carrying the spirit of that era forward — while still sounding fresh and relevant today.

    Liverpool post-punk pioneers The Room are back with 'Nemesis', the potent second single from their latest album 'The Telling', presenting their trademark blend of progressive, alternative pop and sultry post-punk. As with the lead track 'The Teller', the accompanying video was produced by Mark Jordan. A magical sonic adventure for fans of 80s post-punk and folk-horror aesthetics alike.Firm favourites of the late great John Peel, The Room was formed in 1979 in the golden years of northern English post-punk. In 2023, they re-formed after a lengthy hiatus, releasing their critically acclaimed 'Restless Fate' album, their first release in 38 years. Their melodic blend of progressive, alternative pop and sultry post-punk is as fresh and relevant now as when they disbanded in 1985.Formed by singer Dave Jackson and bassist Becky Stringer, they are joined by original drummer Clive Thomas, along with guitarist Darren Brown, keyboardist Ethan Kyme, and the haunting backing vocals of Helena Jacks.
