POPULARITY
Formed in 2014, As December Falls are a long way from their beginnings. The band achieved self-sufficiency early on as a matter of survival after being told they were ‘too this' and ‘too that' from the industry gatekeepers when looking to release their self-titled debut album in 2019 (which has received over 4 million streams to date). Their DIY attitude and business know-how resulted in the band selling out 90% of shows on their most recent headline tour around the UK and appearing at Slam Dunk Festival, 2000 Trees, Tramlines Festival, Camden Rocks, Czech's Rock For People to name a few. In October 2022, As December Falls headed out on their first European tour, playing to sold-out shows in Berlin, Kassel, Hamburg, Oberhausen and Prague. Join The Club (due July 2023 via InGrooves) is set to be an important release for As December Falls - their chart-eligible third album may be their heaviest yet and is markedly more attitude-laden than 2021's “Happier”, which is perhaps the most noticeable on acoustic single “Home” where self-assuredness runs throughout. As December Falls worked with producers John Mitchell (on Go Away) and Alex Copp (Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes), mix engineers Ian Dowling (on Home - One Direction, Kasabian, McBusted) and Stevie Knight (Yours Truly, Stand Atlantic) and Grant Berry (All Time Low,, Static Dress) for mastering to bring Join The Club to life. As December Falls's fiercely independent streak is out in full force on their forthcoming record.
First up tonight I was joined once again by author, actor and event speaker Lee David Carter. Since first joining us a month ago during his bookstore tour for his autobiographical debut Living with Lisa, in which he discusses his gender transition and spiritual awakening. He is currently working on a follow-up book alongside a TV documentary, and as we found out – he has plenty more in the pipeline too! Find out more on Lee’s website www.transitionwiththeangels.com. Next up I was joined by Kaprica, who recently released their debut single Play with Fire online, and gave us an exclusive play of the follow-up Warzonewhich will be out in a few weeks.

We interview the powerful, dynamic, and independent sister duo: The Soap Girls Check out there music here: Spotify Link https://open.spotify.com/artist/1OLHfdAPzzmWwnOVSX67km Soap Girls Website http://thesoapgirls.band/ Bio Armed with unforgettable melodies and catchy choruses, The SoapGirls energy, rawness and authenticity live, has earned a formidable reputation. Performing internationally and continuously since 2015, these fearless French born sisters Millie and Mie, have slayed critics and earned a global dedicated group of followers known as the ‘The SoapSuds’, some of who follow the band across the UK and Europe. The SoapGirls are society’s rejects and their punk credentials were rubber stamped by scintillating performances at many festivals including the legendary Rebellion Festival and Camden Rocks festival last year and such was the their success that they have inevitably been asked to perform again 2019 whilst on their current tour Sniff My Strap promoting their much anticipated latest album Elephant in the Room. The SoapGirls write outsider anthems that are androgynous, audacious and straight from the heart. Following the release of their album Societys Rejects, the band have appeared in Classic Rock Magazine, The Mirror and Vive Le Rock, while their last two singles were played on BBC Radio and play listed by Planet Rock Radio as well as various other stations. Fighting prejudice and haters with a sword of honesty and a shield of integrity The SoapGirls have endured much but have always risen above those that have sought to derail them. The girls shine during their exhilarating, firework-strewn live performances putting inclusivisity and freedom of expression at the core of each show. They are keen to show that music should be for everyone and everyone should be free to be themselves. Alluring, hypnotic and nonchalant The SoapGirls started their career in Cape Town performing as street artists for eight years and were given their name by the general public. “We have been The SoapGirls since we were 8 and 9 selling handmade soap and street performing for various causes, we did this 365 days of the year, for 9 years”. At twelve and thirteen they began their recording career and signed to Universal Records releasing their debut album in 2011 which topped the domestic charts. *From the Soap Girl Website. https://linktr.ee/PhantomElectricGhost --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/phantom-electric/message
