In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, host Mark Millar is joined by John Power, frontman of Cast, as the legendary Britpop band celebrates a major milestone — 30 years since the release of their iconic debut album All Change. Cast are in the strongest position they've been in for decades. Their 2023 album Love Is The Call received widespread critical acclaim and earned their highest chart position in 25 years. Now, they're preparing to support Oasis on the UK and Ireland leg of their hugely anticipated stadium reunion tour — a landmark moment for the Liverpool band. Once those stadium shows wrap, Cast will return to their roots with the 30 Years of All Change tour, performing their beloved 1995 debut album in full. Featuring timeless tracks like ‘Alright', ‘Finetime', ‘Sandstorm' and ‘Walkaway', All Change remains one of the defining records of the Britpop era. It debuted at #7, went Platinum, and spent nearly a year in the UK Top 40. In this conversation, John reflects on his transition from The La's to forming Cast, the emotional and musical impact of All Change, and what it means to still be performing with original members Liam ‘Skin' Tyson and Keith O'Neill three decades on. He also reveals exciting news about a brand new Cast single arriving soon, and shares early details of their next studio album, set for release in 2026. Listen now to Episode #232 of the XS Noize Podcast for a nostalgic and forward-looking conversation with John Power, one of British music's most enduring voices.

En esta era de relativismo la pregunta de Pilato en el Evangelio según Juan (capítulo 18) no puede ser más actual: "¿Qué es la verdad?. Cuando la mayoría decide lo que es verdadero o falso, según un criterio puramente subjetivo, la pregunta ya no es si algo es cierto, sino si funciona, me sirve o me hace sentir bien. Para muchos, ya no hay una verdad objetiva. Cuando Bono retoma las palabras del actual Premio Nobel de Literatura, Bob Dylan, "A lo largo de la torre del vigía" (All Along The Watchtower) en una actuación por sorpresa del grupo irlandés U2 en el Embarcadero de San Francisco en 1987, le añade la frase "Tres acordes y la verdad", que se convierte en todo un motivo para su vida y su obra. Su impresionante versión se puede ver con una deslumbrante fotografía en blanco y negro en la película "Rattle & Hum", cuyo libro oficial está escrito por su amigo evangélico, el poeta y periodista musical Steve Turner. John Lennon pedía "algo de verdad" (Gimme Some Truth" en su primer disco sin los Beatles en 1971, donde está su famoso "Imagina". Hace la canción cuando todavía no ha acabado la guerra del Vietnam con la producción de Phil Spector y la guitarra de George Harrison. La escuchamos en la versión del grupo británico Kula Shaker en 2022. La verdad nos parecerá triste, pero "lo que no tiene es remedio", dice Joan Manuel Serrat en una de sus más emocionantes canciones del disco de 1986, "Cada loco con su tema". Las palabras de Pilato en la Buena Noticia según Juan (capítulo 18) están en el contexto del proceso de Jesús, primero judío y luego romano, uno por blasfemia y otro por rebeldía. El juicio según la ley judía tiene tres fases: primero ante Anás, el sumo sacerdote reconocido por los judíos y luego Caifás, nombrado por los romanos (en el que se centran los otros tres evangelios) y la mañana siguiente ante el Sanedrín. La primera película que dirigió Robert Redford para una nueva productora independiente fue "La conspiración" (2010). Es la sorprendente historia del proceso a una mujer llamado Mary Surratt por su supuesta participación en el asesinato del presidente Lincoln. Protagonizada por un joven James McAvoy como abogado reticente de la misteriosa acusada que hace una irreconocible Robin Wright, nos lleva a la cuestión misma de la verdad ante un juicio que está ya determinado por los prejuicios de todos los que en él forman parte. José de Segovia la comenta con la banda sonora original de Mark Isham y Bryce Dessner para la serie "Manhunt", sobre la búsqueda de los responsables del magnicidio. "El propiciatorio" (The Mercy Seat) es una de esas canciones del australiano Nick Cave, directamente inspiradas en la Biblia. La graba con su grupo The Bad Seeds en 1988, pero ha tenido versiones tan conocidas como la que hizo Johnny Cash poco antes de morir. La oímos en una actuación para la radio KRCW de Santa Mónica en 2013 con la atormentada voz del condenado a muerte que "dice la verdad, pero no tiene miedo a morir". Escuchamos finalmente la propia voz de Pilato en la versión música musical de "El proceso" de Jesús (The Trial) que hizo el hijo del ministro anglicano Adrian Snell con la Roya Philarmonic Orchestra en 1980, pero esta vez en la versión que hizo ahora el músico inglés con holandeses y la orquesta de la iglesia del predicador John Stott en Londres, All Souls en 2024. El papel que hacía Richard Barnes en el Superstar de Londres en 1972, lo hace ahora el neerlandés Chiel Naber.

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, host Mark Millar is joined by Peter Hooton, frontman of Liverpool legends The Farm, to discuss their first new studio album in over 30 years — Let The Music (Take Control), out June 20th, 2025, on Modern Sky. Known for their chart-topping debut Spartacus and iconic singles like “Groovy Train” and “All Together Now,” The Farm were key players in the indie-dance movement. Now, the original lineup returns with a powerful, feel-good record rooted in the same DIY ethos and social conscience that first defined them. Peter talks about the creative spark behind the new album, the band's role as outspoken campaigners, and the legacy of their most enduring anthem.

Following the release of their seventh studio album, Natural Magick, in 2024, the band has continued to captivate audiences with their unique soundscapes and energetic performances. Natural Magick marked a significant milestone for Kula Shaker, reuniting the original lineup—Crispian Mills, Jay Darlington, Alonza Bevan, and Paul Winter-Hart—for the first time since 1999. The album was lauded for its blend of psychedelic rock, raga influences, and pop sensibilities, earning praise from critics and fans alike. Tracks like “Gaslighting” and “Waves” exemplify the band's ability to craft infectious melodies layered with spiritual and philosophical themes.

The song's thematic elements draw from historical and mythological references, adding depth to its sonic intensity. The accompanying music video for “Charge of the Light Brigade” further amplifies the song's impact, presenting a gothic-psychedelic visual narrative that complements the track's haunting atmosphere. Filmed in a church setting, the video intertwines elements of folklore and spiritual symbolism, reinforcing the band's penchant for blending music with mysticism.In support of their recent releases, Kula Shaker embarked on a UK tour in 2025, performing alongside Ocean Colour Scene.

In Episode #210 of The XS Noize Podcast, host Mark Millar speaks with Irish No-Wave Provocateur Skinner about his debut album, New Wave Vaudeville. Skinner kicks off 2025 with the release of his highly anticipated debut album, New Wave Vaudeville. The project of Dublin-based multi-instrumentalist, singer, and producer Aaron Corcoran, Skinner draws inspiration from the New York No Wave scene of the late '70s and early '80s. New Wave Vaudeville pays homage to the eclectic "New Wave Vaudeville" music variety freak show at New York's 57 Club from 1978 to 1983. Known for its unrestrained art performances and debaucherous energy, the 57 Club offered a wild counterpoint to the growing commercialization of modern culture—a spirit perfectly mirrored in the rambunctious and free-spirited sound of Skinner's debut collection. In this episode, Skinner discusses the writing and recording process behind New Wave Vaudeville, his upcoming shows, and much more. Listen via YouTube | Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Music | RSS – Find The XS Noize Podcast's complete archive of episodes here.

IT'S THE FINAL EPISODE OF 2024! Join Planet LP host Ted Asregadoo and Popdose's Keith Creighton as they wrap up an incredible year of music! In this jam-packed episode, Ted and Keith dive into their favorite songs and albums of 2024—not with a ranked list, but with thematic categories that make for a thoughtful and entertaining retrospective. In the first segment, Keith and Ted talk about bigger music trends like: -- The deluge of streaming content. -- The impact of AI on music creation -- and how Spotify reaps the profits from these non-human-created songs. -- The importance of human creativity in cultural expressions like music. Breakthroughs and Debuts Keith talks up the music by and film about Kneecap -- a hip-hop trio whose raps are entirely in Galic. Their current album Fine Art is available now. Fat Dog also tops Keith's breakthroughs and debuts this year. If you're into the early Ministry and that whole industrial genre, you'll love Woof by Fat Dog. Finally, The Waeve, a UK duo featuring singer-songwriters Graham Coxon and Rose Elinor Dougall. Keith said that if he did rank his albums this year, City Lights by The Waeve would top his list. Ted's Single Play picks are: "The Flood" by Allie Sandt. If you're a fan of Fleetwood Mac, Steely Dan, Paul Simon, or Madison Cunningham, Allie's music is a must-listen. With songwriting that reflects the depth and wisdom of an old soul, Allie weaves timeless influences into a sound that's uniquely her own. Her heartfelt lyrics and melodic craftsmanship show incredible promise, and Ted is rooting for her career to take off— because she truly deserves it. The second song is As For The Future's track "The Mob" -- a sly, samba-infused commentary on populism that's as counter-cultural as it is catchy. If you're a fan of Sergio Mendes and Brazil '66 or were hooked on Swing Out Sister back in 1987, this song will strike a chord. With its smooth grooves and clever lyrics, "The Mob" blends nostalgia with a fresh, modern edge—proof that As For The Future knows how to make a bold musical statement. Another UK Invasion The Last Dinner Party is a UK band that formed during COVID-19. Surprisingly, before they had a single out, they opened for The Rolling Stones. The Last Dinner Party is what Keith called a total "buzz band" that entertained the public and press with their live shows, fashion, and visual style. Their album, Prelude To Ecstasy did deliver the goods -- as it were -- and lived up to its hype. Irish shoegaze band NewDad, which Keith describes as "very sweet, tender, dark, shoegazing music," reminds him of Lush -- which made him spin the album many times since its release. And while Brigitte Calls Me Baby are not from the UK (they are from Chicago), Keith connected with their music because their style reminds him of The Smiths crossed with Elvis Presley. Their debut album is The Future Is Our Way Out. Ted's sort of Single Play picks for this segment are: A Planet LP favorite! Ward White's "Continuity" is a masterclass in wit, quirky storytelling, and exceptional musicianship. The opening line is irresistibly catchy—it sneaks into your head and stays there, a sure sign the song is working its magic. Ward's sharp sense of humor shines throughout, making "Continuity" both clever and captivating. It's a standout track that showcases his unique charm and talent. Though Ward is not from the UK, he sure sounds like he could be -- kind of like the band Brigitte Calls Me Baby. It Leads to This by The Pineapple Thief has been Ted's most-listened-to album of 2024—and for good reason. He was hooked after seeing them live in San Francisco on December 9th. While he admits to unfamiliarity with their older work, It Leads to This completely won him over. It balances heavy guitar riffs with a meditative, Pink Floyd-like, immersive, and introspective vibe. It might not be for everyone, but if atmospheric, thoughtful rock is your thing, It Leads to This is absolutely worth a listen. New Power Pop When it comes to power pop, think The Knack's "My Sharona," or Rick Springfield, and Cheap Trick. But what's when it comes to power pop in 2024 sometimes what's old is new again. Keith recommends a band that opened for The Beatles during the final tour and shared the same manager. That band is The Cyrkle -- whose unusual spelling was suggested by John Lennon. Their 2024 release on Big Stir Records is called Revival, and it's among Keith's most-played albums this year. Fun fact: Band member Tom Dawes (alas, he died in 2007) was a successful jingle writer after The Cyrkle disbanded. He wrote "Plop, Plop, Fizz, Fizz" for Alka-Seltzer, which ran in their ads from 1975-1980. Another power pop gem is The Half-Cubes, whose album Pop Treasures is a carefully curated album of cover songs that mine some tracks from 10cc, OMD, Del Amitri, and Trashcan Sinatras. Ted's Single Play picks are: Kula Shaker's "Indian Record Player" is a catchy pop anthem that seamlessly blends Western pop music sensibilities with a nostalgic nod to the golden age of Bollywood in the lyrics. Check out their latest release, Natural Magick. Galantis, David Guetta, and 5 Seconds of Summer team up for "Lighter," a feel-good anthem that's pure pop perfection. Clocking in at just 2:52, the song is packed with infectious hooks and an upbeat vibe that'll have you dancing from start to finish. It doesn't overstay its welcome or try to be overly complicated—it's simply a joyful, high-energy track with a great beat that's impossible to resist. Sometimes, all you need is a song like this to brighten your day and get you moving. Best Comebacks Keith's first comeback record is from The Libertines, All Quiet on the Eastern Esplanade -- which is an astonishing comeback considering the substance abuse problems of some of the band members, like vocalist and guitarist Pete Doherty. Check out the single "Run, Run, Run" which excels at presenting what a good pub band sounds like when they are sober. Guess who's back? The Zutons! Best known for writing Amy Winehouse's most famous cover song ("Valarie"), their latest album The Big Decider is such a strong album from a band that was on hiatus for years that most folks probably thought they broke up for good. Nope. Ted's picks center on bigger names like The Cure's Songs Of A Lost World. While the album is light on hooks, it's pretty heavy on misery, which, considering Robert Smith world view is not a surprise. While The Cure's music is not for everyone, those who loved their 1989 release Disintegration will find The Cure's latest album a very familiar experience. Pearl Jam knocked it out of the park with Dark Matter. The title track and the song "Won't Tell" are two that stood out in this incredibly strong collection of songs. Keith notes that a good amount of credit goes to producer Andrews Watt, who has a knack for bringing out the best in older acts like Pearl Jam, The Rolling Stones, Ozzy, and the like. Single Play highlights not related to comebacks: Paper Citizen's "Car Stereo"-- a song dedicated to the importance of friendship in one's life and right up there in Ted's top singles of 2024. Linkin Park's "The Emptiness Machine" is a welcome return to form. Now that they have a new singer, it has brought to the forefront a very 20-something energy that recalls Paramore back in the day. Music Royals While the boys like Kendrick Lamar and Drake dissed each other in 2024, the girls like Charlie XCX (brat), Ariana Grande (Eternal Sunshine and Wicked), Sabrina Carpenter (Short n' Sweet), Dua Lipa (Radical Optimism), and Chappell Roan where all about community and supporting each other's music and careers. And finally, as the Eras Tour came to a close, Taylor Swift showed what spreading the wealth means. She's now a billionaire, but she gave back to her employees with $100,000 bonuses after the tour ended. Now, as the year is winding down, Keith said he's going to spend a lot of time with Swift's The Tortured Poets Department, while Ted is going to spend more time looking for rock bands with whom he is unfamiliar -- you know, if we're being grammatically correct here.
