Chaos arrives on The Austin Young Show as Dallas hardcore punk band No-Fun stops by to talk about their new demo, featuring members of Casual Relapse, The Fullstops, and Crystal of Agony. What starts as a conversation about the band's music quickly goes off the rails with stories about a new straight edge lifestyle, accusations of being on Grindr, and plenty of unfiltered laughs along the way. If you love hardcore punk, DIY music, and unpredictable interviews, this episode is for you. The band's debut demo, featuring tracks like "Blisters," was released in July 2026.

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with singer, songwriter, harmonica player, and bandleader Christopher Wyze for a conversation about creativity, discipline, mentorship, and discovering an entirely new musical life later in adulthood.Christopher spent decades working as a professional writer and advertising executive before writing his first song in 2022. We talk about how those years of meeting deadlines, telling stories, and finding the clearest possible language prepared him for songwriting. He shares how producer and mentor Ralph Carter encouraged him to take his writing seriously, ultimately leading to the album Stuck in the Mud, recorded in Muscle Shoals with an exceptional group of musicians.We also explore the joy and vulnerability of entering the studio with world-class players, including members of the Hi Rhythm Section, and hearing a simple lyric or demo become a fully realized piece of music. Christopher talks about collaboration, learning to trust the room, and the responsibility he feels to keep writing and recording while the songs are arriving.A major part of our conversation centers on Naptown Blues, Christopher Wyze and the Tellers' tribute to Indianapolis blues musicians Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell. We discuss their influence on artists such as Robert Johnson, the overlooked history of blues recording in Indiana, and why Christopher feels called to help preserve and share that legacy.Ultimately, this is a conversation about believing someone when they see something in you, finding purpose after a difficult professional chapter, and reaching a point in life where fear no longer gets to make the decisions.Key TakeawaysChristopher wrote his first song in 2022 after decades of professional writing in newspapers, magazines, books, and advertising.Producer and former Eddie Money collaborator Ralph Carter became a mentor who encouraged Christopher to write original music and helped shape his songs in the studio.His debut album, Stuck in the Mud, was recorded in Muscle Shoals with musicians including guitarist Eric Deaton.Christopher approaches songwriting much like advertising: identify the central idea, use as few words as possible, and allow music and imagery to carry part of the story.Playing with musicians such as the Hi Rhythm Section has taught him to trust the moment and elevate his own performance.Naptown Blues honors Indianapolis blues pioneers Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell, whose music helped influence Robert Johnson and “Sweet Home Chicago.”Christopher believes his most important work now is writing and recording songs, even when that means performing less often.His return to music has given him a sense of joy, purpose, and fearlessness that he did not have earlier in life.Music from the EpisodeI'm Going Back to Tennessee - Christopher WyzeAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a long-form interview podcast hosted by Brad Williams featuring thoughtful conversations with musicians, songwriters, producers, and artists about creativity, craft, collaboration, and the experiences that shape their work.

What happens when the song that started your band also becomes the song that brings it back to life?Tim Andrews joins B-Side Breakdown to revisit "Another Day in Paradise," the first song Arrows at Dawn wrote under their new name and a track that nearly became the band's final chapter. Tim shares how a familiar Midwestern phrase became the foundation for a song about betrayal, frustration, and refusing to settle for a life of quiet resignation. The conversation explores the band's early years, recording their debut album, nearly walking away from music after years of burnout, and how an unexpected friendship reignited the passion to create again. With a new lineup, new songs in the works, and live shows returning, this episode is about rediscovering why making music mattered in the first place.Follow Arrows at Dawn:https://arrowsatdawn.bandcamp.comhttps://www.instagram.com/arrowsatdawnThanks for supporting B-Side Breakdown — where the song is just the start of the story.Brett JohnsonHost, B-Side Breakdownhttps://www.bsidebreakdown.com#BSideBreakdown #ArrowsAtDawn #AnotherDayInParadise #TimAndrews #BehindTheSong #Songwriting #AlternativeRock #Grunge #IndependentMusic #MinnesotaMusic #MusicPodcast #NewMusic
The Iron Roses are back on B-Side Breakdown, and a lot has changed since their first appearance. With their new single "Dead Eyes" leading the charge, Becky and Nat talk about why this record hits harder—both musically and lyrically—and how the band has grown into the sound they always wanted to make.The conversation goes beyond the song itself, diving into the realities of building a touring band, navigating lineup changes, finding the right people, and refusing to compromise on the vision. They share how years of writing, touring, and challenging one another shaped Molotov Nights, why they aren't afraid to throw away great songs that don't serve the album, and what they learned by releasing the record independently.It's an honest conversation about trust, collaboration, and pushing each other to make something better—proof that the strongest bands aren't just built on great songs, but on shared purpose.Follow The Iron Roses:https://theironroses.bandcamp.comhttps://www.instagram.com/theironrosesThanks for supporting B-Side Breakdown — where the song is just the start of the story.Brett JohnsonHost, B-Side Breakdownhttps://www.bsidebreakdown.com#BSideBreakdown #TheIronRoses #DeadEyes #MolotovNights #PunkRock #IndependentMusic #DIYMusic #Songwriting #MusicPodcast #BehindTheSong #PoliticalPunk

Everyone has their own personal favorite. The one place in town that had all the cool records. The place you didn't know existed until a friend took you there and you discover music beyond the mainstream. The place where you feel in the know ready to explore everything around you. That place is your local independent record shop. You got your first LP there or you found it in college and go comb the racks every other weekend. Louisville's Ear-X-Tacy was that for residents and passers-through - the place in the 80s and 90s where you could get the cool imports and the college chart heroes like R.E.M. and The Smiths. Not that you couldn't get mainstream or classic albums there, it was just a vibe that made it the cultural center for like-minded rock fans through various locations in the Louisville Highlands. Ear-X-Tacy was the brainchild of John Timmons, a college student who worked in record stores and decided he'd take his record collection and a $500 cash advance on his MasterCharge to chase his rock n roll dreams. He grew Ear-X-Tacy into the hip capital in town where you could search 10,000 square feet of rock, soul, punk, metal, alternative, local, popular and rare racks for hours. The Foo Fighters, Tenacious D and John Mayer would all perform there on their way to bigger gigs and several generations remember Ear-X-Tacy as a special place in their lives. Like so many other record stores, Ear-X-Tacy is gone. However, John keeps the legacy alive with his weekly radio show (cleverly titled Ear-X-Tacy) where he plays the songs that he loved and inspired him to build the store. John also talks about his many community ventures like The Coalition of Independent Music Stores (CIMS), The Louisville Independent Business Alliance, The Association for Independent Music and Keep Louisville Weird. We share stories from the shop over the years, relive some of the biggest moments and thank John for all that he's done for music and for Louisville. If you have a John in your town, let him know what the old record shop meant to you and help keep them going!

Just moments after closing Opening Night of the 2026 Harmony in the Woods concert season, Meghan Parnell and Dave Barnes of Bywater Call returned to the stage, not for an encore, but for a honest conversation with HarmonyTALK host Greg Frigoletto.The result is an interview that feels every bit as genuine as the band's music.Over the past several years, the Toronto-based, seven-piece band has quietly become one of the most exciting live acts on the international roots music scene. Blending Southern soul, blues, roots rock, and powerful horn arrangements, Bywater Call delivers performances that are both emotionally charged and musically fearless. At the center is Meghan Parnell's commanding voice, complemented by Dave Barnes' expressive guitar work and the remarkable chemistry of a band that has spent years earning every fan one performance at a time.Their music refuses to be confined to a single genre.Influenced by artists including The Band, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Otis Redding, Little Feat, Sly and the Family Stone, and The Wood Brothers, Bywater Call moves effortlessly from deeply personal ballads to high-energy anthems that showcase the full strength of the seven-piece ensemble. Every song reflects the highs and lows of life, exploring love, loss, resilience, hope, and everything in between.That authenticity has earned the band growing international recognition. Following extensive touring throughout Europe, Bywater Call was nominated for the 2025 UK Blues Award for International Blues Artist of the Year. This year, the band once again landed among the Top 20 finalists alongside many of the biggest names in contemporary blues.In this episode, Meghan and Dave reflect on how the band found its sound, what keeps seven musicians connected through thousands of miles on the road, and why live performance continues to shape everything they create.Recorded immediately after their Harmony in the Woods performance, this conversation captures something listeners rarely hear: artists reflecting on a show while the music is still echoing in the air.If this conversation inspires you to experience live music under the trees, the Harmony in the Woods summer concert season continues through Sept. 5 with an outstanding lineup of nationally touring artists spanning blues, Americana, folk, jazz, bluegrass, Celtic, world music, and more. Visit HarmonyInTheWoods.org for the complete schedule and tickets.

What happens when haunting poetry, cinematic storytelling, and thunderous rock collide? This episode of Vigilantes Radio Live welcomes Voltaire's Ghost—Ruby Juhl, Josh Eggstaff, and Magnus—for a conversation that ventures far beyond the music. The band discusses the creative journey behind their latest single, “Black Petals Fallen,” from transforming an old poem into a fully realized song to building a collaborative environment where every voice shapes the final product. They also explore the influence of horror films, the beauty found in melancholy, the challenge of trusting the creative process, and why some of the most meaningful songs emerge when inspiration arrives unexpectedly. Plus, the trio shares what's ahead as they prepare for major festival performances, upcoming vinyl releases, and an ever-growing catalog of music that continues to push the boundaries of cinematic rock.https://www.voltairesghost.com/https://music.apple.com/us/artist/voltaires-ghost/1687826381https://open.spotify.com/artist/4qh2ndBmksowS2QsZW8Iw3https://www.youtube.com/@voltairesghostbandhttps://www.instagram.com/voltairesghostbandhttps://www.tiktok.com/@voltaires.ghostBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/vigilantes-radio-live--2166168/support.Vigilantes Radio Live! by The Only One Media Group ℗©2025Episode Credits:Produced, edited, mixed, and written by Demetrius "Whodini Blak" Reynolds, Sr.Artwork designed by Demetrius "Whodini Blak" Reynolds, Sr.Show Introduction by KateSegment jingles composed & produced by Demetrius "Whodini Blak" Reynolds, Sr.Additional music licensed through 7th Sign RecordingsLinks:onlyonemediagroup.comhttps://www.instagram.com/vigilantesradio/https://www.iheart.com/podcast/966-vigilantes-radio-live-29999229/https://www.instagram.com/whodiniblakin3d/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26009230/To support our show, please leave reviews, ratings, or you can help fuel the passion over at buymeacoffee.com/vigilantesradioEmail us at onlyonemgt@gmail.com or vradio@onlyonemediagroup.com
Record companies want AI music to be disclosed And they've got a bunch of other groups onboard too – American Association of Independent Music, the Grammys, SAG-AFTRA, and the Human Artistry Campaign. They want two different classifications: 1) AI-Generated. 2) AI-Assisted, which would mean it was created primarily by humans but used AI for some elements. They have designed a symbol too, which they would expect to be on the cover art like an "explicit content" warning. The recording industry says fans are open to listening to AI music, they just want to know it's AI generated. So, if we're being a purist... is a synthesizer generated? Spotify today will show AI usage in song credits and Apple Music has introduced “transparency tags”, but it seems this label requires someone to say it was AI generated, rather than proving it was human generated. The EU is holding its position to increase competition in the tech space The accounting and workplace software giant SAP is going to make it easier for companies to switch to a rival service, all because of the EU's competition rules. The decision means they avoid a massive fine. They're going to make it easier to cancel a contract, as well as export data. Apple too lost its latest court case challenging the EU Digital Markets Act. The court has ruled that the iOS operating system and the App Store are "gatekeepers". That means they'd be forced to allow alternative app stores, direct installs of apps, alternative payment systems, different web browsers, and access to hardware features like tap-to-pay and more. iMessage though is not designated as a gatekeeper, which means we won't see the EU force the blue chat bubbles to become more interoperable. Apple says this will "erode decades of privacy and security protections". LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

More than twenty-five years after releasing their last full-length record, Overthrow returned with *Setting the Price*—not as a nostalgia project, but as the continuation of a story that was never truly finished.In this episode, Chris and Anthony break down "Tribute," a song rooted in loss, gratitude, and the people who helped shape both the band and the New York hardcore community. They reflect on the friends, family members, and bandmates they've lost over the years and how those experiences became the emotional foundation of the song.The conversation also traces Overthrow's journey from forming as teenagers on Long Island in 1995, through their original run and breakup in 2001, to the reunion shows that eventually reignited their creative spark. They discuss rediscovering old riffs that had been sitting unfinished for over two decades, the collaborative songwriting process behind *Setting the Price*, the challenges of self-funding and recording the album, and the excitement of hearing "Tribute" receive heavy rotation on SiriusXM. More than a comeback story, this episode is about honoring the past while proving there's still something meaningful left to say.Follow Overthrow:https://overthrowlihc.com/https://www.instagram.com/overthrow_lhcThanks for supporting B-Side Breakdown — where the song is just the start of the story.Brett JohnsonHost, B-Side Breakdownhttps://www.bsidebreakdown.com#BSideBreakdown #Overthrow #Tribute #SettingThePrice #NewYorkHardcore #Hardcore #NYHC #LongIslandHardcore #PunkRock #IndependentMusic #Songwriter #MusicPodcast #BehindTheSong #MusicStories #HardcoreMusic

We also explore his own artistic journey through Post Death Soundtrack, a bold 15-album legacy of confronting mental health, philosophy, darkness, and the complexities of the human experience.This is a conversation about art, authenticity, the underground, and why the musicians who leave a lasting impact are often the ones brave enough to say something real.www.musicwithdepth.comhttps://www.instagram.com/musicwithdepthpr/https://www.facebook.com/musicwithdepthprhttps://postdeathsoundtrack.bandcamp.com/album/barren-mother-of-allhttps://www.facebook.com/postdeathsoundtrack/https://www.instagram.com/post_death_soundtrack/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/vigilantes-radio-live--2166168/support.Vigilantes Radio Live! by The Only One Media Group ℗©2025Episode Credits:Produced, edited, mixed, and written by Demetrius "Whodini Blak" Reynolds, Sr.Artwork designed by Demetrius "Whodini Blak" Reynolds, Sr.Show Introduction by KateSegment jingles composed & produced by Demetrius "Whodini Blak" Reynolds, Sr.Additional music licensed through 7th Sign RecordingsLinks:onlyonemediagroup.comhttps://www.instagram.com/vigilantesradio/https://www.iheart.com/podcast/966-vigilantes-radio-live-29999229/https://www.instagram.com/whodiniblakin3d/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26009230/To support our show, please leave reviews, ratings, or you can help fuel the passion over at buymeacoffee.com/vigilantesradioEmail us at onlyonemgt@gmail.com or vradio@onlyonemediagroup.com
With Tropidelic's 10th studio album, First Light, dropping June 26, Matthew Roads and I spend a lot of time talking about the road that led to this release. We discuss the evolution of the band's sound, working with a new production team, the creative process behind the album, and recently released singles like "No Fear," "Follow Your Nature," and "Home To You." We also dive into the band's growth over the years, building one of the most loyal fan communities in music, life on the road, and what continues to drive Tropidelic after all these years.

What happens when conspiracy theories stop being fringe entertainment and start influencing the way people understand the world?In Episode 53 of B-Side Breakdown, Shayne Miel of Overton breaks down "High On Faith," a darkly humorous and surprisingly thoughtful song inspired by misinformation, conspiracy culture, and humanity's need to explain the unknown. What began with a single lyric evolved into a broader exploration of belief, uncertainty, and the stories people create to make sense of a complicated world.During our conversation, Shayne discusses the challenge of writing about conspiracy theories without turning the song into a lecture, the personal experiences that inspired the lyrics, and the strange moment we're living through where truth, opinion, and entertainment increasingly overlap. We talk about everything from ancient mythology to modern media, the role attention plays in shaping public discourse, and why people often gravitate toward simple explanations when reality is It's a conversation about a song, but it's also a conversation about belief itself—how we form it, why we cling to it, and what happens when the search for certainty becomes more powerful than the pursuit of truth.Follow Overton:https://overtonnc.bandcamp.comhttps://www.instagram.com/overton.ncThanks for supporting B-Side Breakdown — where the song is just the start of the story.Brett JohnsonHost, B-Side Breakdownhttps://www.bsidebreakdown.com#BSideBreakdown #Overton #HighOnFaith #ShayneMiel #IndependentMusic #MusicPodcast #Songwriting #PunkRock #AlternativeRock #IndieMusic
It is a privilege to welcome recording artist Vince Montage to The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast. At just 20 years old, Vince has already written over 500 songs and collaborated with heavyweights like Polo G and Scott Storch (Credits include 50 Cent, Dr. Dre, and Beyoncé), but nothing he's made has been quite like this. On May 8th, he released "Fleeting," his debut single and the opening statement of a bold new era. Raw, introspective, and unflinchingly honest, the track confronts the emotional weight of impermanence in love and in the versions of ourselves we can't hold onto. “Fleeting” explores the ache of emotions that are impossible to hold onto: the moments, relationships, and feelings that slip away just as quickly as they arrive.Written during a period of rapid personal change, the song reflects Vince's desire to return to moments in time and the complexity of feeling deeply for something temporary. Vince's new era is marked by a desire for authenticity and emotional honesty, as he reminisces about moments that slip away as quickly as they appear. Vince's creative process stems from internal dialogue combined with a distinct talent for identifying complementary melodies.In the case of “Fleeting,” the melody came long before the final production, allowing the emotion of the record to take center stage. The track was produced by Pacific, with Vince operating as a co-producer alongside his longtime collaborator, Grammy Award-winning producer-engineer Mixx, with whom he has worked since his early teens and has collaborated with the likes of Teyana Taylor and French Montana. Together, the duo has crafted a soundscape that balances subtle percussion with emotional intensity.For Vince, authenticity is everything – “If you can reach a lot of people, you can have a big impact on other people's lives in a bunch of different ways.” Vince Montage's musical focus has now shifted from creating music that is an extension of pop culture to creating music rooted in authenticity. “When you're making music for the purpose of trying to catch a trend, you can make a song that becomes a hit, but it's not going to influence people in the same way that making music from your own personal experience does.” Originally from Columbus and now based in Miami, Vince began his music journey at just 13 years old. What began as a creative desire to collaborate with creatives Vince admired on SoundCloud quickly evolved into a legitimate, all-encompassing career and relentless creative pursuit for Vince, culminating in collaborations with influential artists. Over the past seven years, he's worked to refine an innovative style unique to him but shaped by influences ranging from some of his favorites: From Prince to Queen to contemporary innovator, Mk. Gee.

When Live Nation and Ticketmaster make the news, the conversation usually starts and ends with ticket prices. But the real crisis goes much deeper. In this episode, we sit down with Karen Suarez-Flint, Secretary-Treasurer of the Chicago Federation of Musicians Local 10-208, to expose the systemic extraction of wealth from the working musicians who hold the entire industry up. What We Discuss in This Episode: The Live Nation Antitrust Verdict: What the April 2026 ruling actually means, why the federal settlement was "pathetic," and how 34 state attorneys general are fighting back. The 100-Mile Lockout: How Live Nation's aggressive "radius clauses" are quietly crushing independent venues in cities like Chicago. Streaming Economics 101: Why Spotify's $19B revenue translates to a $0.003 per-stream rate for artists—and how algorithms are gamed to suppress music unless artists accept even less. The American Music Fairness Act: Why the U.S. shares a bizarre radio royalty policy with Iran, China, and North Korea, and how this bipartisan bill could change everything. Take Action: Love live music? Don't let your local music ecosystem run out of time. Listen to the episode, share it, and contact your representatives to demand support for the American Music Fairness Act.

The transformative power of words and music.Singer-songwriter Dennis Welch shares his journey from a Texas childhood filled with libraries and country music to a creative renaissance that has earned him multiple Grammy ballot considerations in his 60s and 70s. We discuss the pivotal teachers who changed his life path, the moment he almost walked away from music forever, and how dinner with friends in a Mexican restaurant reignited his passion for recording. Dennis offers heartfelt advice on why adult creators should ignore cultural expectations regarding age, the benefits of creative pursuits for mental wellbeing, and the importance of perseverance in the face of uncertainty.You might also like:Purpose, Piano and the Goosebump Compass with Steve GoldbergStrings, Spirituality and Stillness with Jennifer Roig-FrancolíRich Chambers keeps rockingSupport the showFollow @CreativityFoundPodcast on InstagramWant to be a guest on Creativity Found?

“This song was me finally going backwards and dealing with some demons.”For episode 52 of B-Side Breakdown, Marc-Alan Prince breaks down “The Damned,” a song about chasing perfection, surviving self-destruction, and coming to terms with the difference between romanticized youth and the reality of getting older. What starts as a conversation about touring and punk rock ambition turns into something much more personal — living out of vans and on couches, pushing himself past the limit, battling illness, and trying to rebuild a life after realizing the lifestyle he was chasing was no longer sustainable.Marc-Alan talks openly about the years he spent touring relentlessly, the bands that imploded under the pressure, and the complicated feeling of watching friends move on while still trying to hold onto the thing that once gave life meaning. The episode also dives into the making of his upcoming record Runaway, recorded live in a rented Austin house with full live-performance video sessions inspired by Bridge City Sessions, along with his decision to keep certain releases completely offline as a reaction against streaming culture and Spotify's treatment of artists.Follow Marc-Alan Prince:https://www.instagram.com/marcalanprince/https://marcalanprince.bandcamp.com/album/runawayhttps://www.youtube.com/@marcalanprince Thanks for supporting B-Side Breakdown — where the song is just the start of the story.

In this episode of QSJ Radio's Digging up the Underground, MadLuh sits down with UK independent artist STE Morris to talk about songwriting, emotional storytelling, live performance, and navigating today's independent music scene. From the creative process behind Foxtrot in a Pint Pot to the realities of building an authentic artistic voice, this conversation digs deep into the heart of independent music.
Send in your music story!A band can lose two core members and still keep moving, but the reason matters. Godsmack's touring fatigue headline opens the door to a bigger conversation about burnout in hard rock and metal, what the road actually demands, and why “push through it” culture breaks people. We take that news and connect it to the real economics of music today: streaming pressure, constant content, and the hidden costs artists absorb just to stay visible. Sean Martin from The Quarantined joins us and goes deep on the independent artist playbook. We talk Spotify strategy and why monthly listeners are leverage, not just pennies. We get into merch, influencer marketing, playlisting, and why the most important member of your “band” might be your lawyer. Then we zoom out to the vinyl resurgence and why labels are leaning back into full album releases as vinyl records become a premium, profitable product again. If you're building an audience, planning a release, or trying to understand music industry trends, this one is packed with usable insight. The heaviest part of the conversation is also the most important. Sean shares what PTSD really is: a permanent change to the nervous system, not a punchline and not just fear. He explains what helped him climb out, why therapy and expert support matter, and how metacognition can turn survival into progress. We wrap with our song of the week “Molly” by Sponge, then blow off steam with a three-second “guess the song” game that turns into laughs, nostalgia, and a little friendly chaos.

For episode 50 of B-Side Breakdown, Shi from Scarboro breaks down “Chaser,” a song rooted in political exhaustion, fake empathy, and the disconnect between what people say they believe and what they're willing to act on.Shi talks openly about working in politics and nonprofit advocacy, running for Congress from the left, and eventually walking away after years of watching corporate influence hollow out meaningful change. The conversation moves beyond the song itself into hot-take culture, online outrage, and the frustration of seeing powerful words rarely materialize into pressure where it could actually create change. But underneath all of it is something more personal — exhaustion, apathy, recovery, and trying to rebuild a sense of purpose after hitting a breaking point. The episode also digs into the making of Scarboro's new record Hate Season, written after Shi left the New York State Senate and began working through a difficult period of mental health struggles and healing. What came out of that time became one of the band's most collaborative and emotionally direct records yet.Follow Scarboro:scarboro.bandcamp.cominstagram.com/scarboropunx Sell The Heart Records:https://www.selltheheartrecords.com/WTF Records:https://wtfrecords.eu/Thanks for supporting B-Side Breakdown — where the song is just the start of the story.Brett JohnsonHost, B-Side Breakdownhttps://www.bsidebreakdown.com #Scarboro #Chaser #HardcorePunk #PunkRock #NYCHardcore #SellTheHeartRecords #DIYpunk #PunkPodcast #BSideBreakdown #MelodicHardcore #IndependentMusic #MusicPodcast #PunkCommunity #NewMusic

Sheffield punches well above its weight when it comes to tunes. From #1 synth-pop hits to underground techno classics, clattering industrial funk to accidental Britpop icons, the Steel City might have produced more brilliant music per capita than any other world metropolis.And yet, no one has published the definitive book on the subject – until now! Daniel Dylan Wray is one of the UK's best music writers, and his new book Groovy, Laidback and Nasty: The History of Independent Music in Sheffield chronicles the maverick artists, chart invaders, parties, labels, venues and even Christian cults that shaped the city's musical history.We talked to Dan about why Sheffield wasn't swept away by punk rock but instead loved Kraftwerk and Wendy Carlos, how Peter Stringfellow became a crucial early mover in Sheffield's club scene, and why there are no murals of Jarvis Cocker in the city centre. We also heard about the unlikely chain of events that birthed Warp Records, and one of the most important yet undersung ‘80s club nights, Jive Turkey.We also unveil a major expansion of our Rockufiction canon of ‘music films that bend reality', including Frank Zappa, Daft Punk, Macca and S Club 7. That'll probably be the final update on Rockufiction, but if you have any burning additions then get them in quick…As ever, if you like what we do on No Tags, please do consider signing up to our paid tier for a mere £5 per month!

This week on Music Not Diving we decouple from the Youtube feed and get into the ongoing debate around AI. Sceptics like Ed Zitron have come to prominence with their doubts about the viability of business models of the big AI firms, but in music Suno is busily destroying artistry and the effect of the general LLMs has upended other bits of the industry too.So what does this all mean?And we also learn about the ceiling of the Rolls Royce Phantom and what that might mean for vintage mix consoles.Bob Lefsetz piece on the Indie Alliance: lefsetz.com/wordpress/2026/03/31/the-indie-alliance/Shawn's referenced piece: firstfloor.substack.com/p/the-majors-are-ushering-in-an-eraTed Gioia referenced piece: www.honest-broker.com/p/four-steps-to-hell--Listen to the Not A Diving Club radio show: https://soundcloud.com/swufm/scuba-not-a-diving-club-14-1You can now discuss the show on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/MusicNotDiving/If you're into what we're doing here on the pod then you can support the show on Patreon!
