In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by legendary producer Steve Lillywhite — the Grammy-winning studio mastermind behind iconic records by U2, The Rolling Stones, Talking Heads, The Smiths, The Killers, Peter Gabriel, and many more. Steve talks about the release of a brand-new 4-track EP featuring a completely unreleased live version of "Fairytale of New York" — recorded at Glasgow Barrowlands in December 1987. This historic performance captures the first time The Pogues ever played the song live, and the first time Kirsty MacColl performed it onstage with the band. The EP is released on 12 December. Recorded by Steve himself — producer of the original version and then-husband of Kirsty MacColl — the Barrowlands tape offers a rare window into the early live life of what has become the UK's favourite Christmas song for over a decade. Originally charting at No. 2 in 1987, "Fairytale of New York" has returned to the UK Top 20 every year since 2005. Steve reflects on the making of the classic track, the energy of that unforgettable night in Glasgow, and key moments from across his remarkable career. Listen to Steve Lillywhite discuss the new EP, the legacy of Fairytale of New York, and the stories behind his legendary productions — exclusively on the XS Noize Podcast.

Pour tous ceux qui ont connu le début des années 80, le nom de Simple Minds occupe sûrement une place particulière. Évidemment, on n'était pas des milliers en mars 82 et 84 à l'Ancienne Belgique, alors le temple de la New Wave avec le Beursschouwburg. Mais l'ambiance y était. Par contre, on était des dizaines de milliers en 83 à Torhout et Werchter. Les examens étaient finis et les vacances commençaient avec U2, l'après-midi, et Simple Minds qui concluaient la soirée, juste avant la tête d'affiche, Peter Gabriel. Les Minds n'avaient alors jamais joué devant un public aussi nombreux, et c'était chez nous. Jim Kerr ne portait pas encore les pantalons comme des oreilles d'éléphant qu'il allait arborer deux ans plus tard sur la scène du Live Aid, le plus grand festival de tous les temps. Il était alors la plus crédible incarnation du nouveau David Bowie, celui que toute la New Wave imitait de Depeche Mode à Duran Duran, en passant par Gary Numan. Mais Jim Kerr n'imitait pas Bowie. Il adoptait une attitude particulière sur scène, tous les yeux étaient focalisés sur lui, un charisme dingue, on n'avait plus vu ça … ben, depuis David Bowie.Et il faut bien ça. Car autant U2 est un groupe dont on identifie très bien depuis le début, ses quatre membres, autant on s'y perd avec Simple Minds. Ils changent de personnel quasiment à chaque album, voire single. Et comme ils ont sorti sept 33 Tours en l'espace de six ans, ça fait du mouvement. Non, vraiment, de Simple Minds on ne retient que Jim Kerr, et puis le guitariste Charlie Burchill, le seul à être aussi présent depuis le début. Mais bon, ça le fait d'avoir un poster de Simple Minds dans sa chambre ou son kot, au début des années 80. Ce nom étrange et ces images insolites qui servent de pochette à leurs 30 cm, ça vous pose un max devant les copains et les copains des copains. C'est branché, Simple Minds ! Alors comme à l'époque, il n'y a pas internet, y a des gars qui prétendent que ça veut dire les “simples d'esprits”. Sauf qu'en anglais on place l'adjectif avant le nom, et donc, ça fait “esprits simples”.OK, ça reste pas beaucoup plus valorisant. Sauf que, et on y revient, ça vient d'une chanson de David Bowie. Oui, dans Jean Genie, époque Ziggy Stardust … et dans le contexte, ça correspond tellement bien à la mentalité des Ecossais qu'ils sont. C'est vrai, quand vous entrez dans un pub en Ecosse, vous ne restez pas seuls, on vit ensemble, et on chante à tue-tête le vendredi soir avec le gars qui vient jouer avec sa guitare pour mettre l'ambiance. Sept ans après avoir choisi ce nom, les Simple Minds sont bien loin de l'arrière-salle de leur pub de Glasgow, ils sont sur le toit du monde parmi les groupes britanniques qui vendent le plus de disques, avec Dire Straits, Queen et Duran Duran …

On ne saura jamais qui a franchement fait fonctionner l'autre. Est-ce le film The Breakfast Club qui a fait vendre autant de disques à Simple Minds qui en signe le générique ou bien les jeunes sont-ils allés au cinéma parce qu'ils ont entendu la chanson à la radio ou vu le clip à la télé ? Les deux évidemment. En tout cas, l'association du groupe new wave écossais et d'un cinéaste américain, très fan de leur son, a parfaitement fonctionné. Au-delà de toute attente puisque le film rapporte cinquante fois la mise de départ.Ainsi quand en pleine tournée promo pour le nouvel album en France, Jim Kerr reçoit un appel dans sa chambre d'hôtel, il ne sait pas quoi répondre à sa firme de disques quand elle lui annonce que le single est N°1 aux Etats-Unis. La nouvelle pour celui qui se considère toujours comme un petit gars de Glasgow est énorme. Jim raccroche : tu es numéro UN en Amérique, comme les Beatles 20 ans plus tôt, ils étaient les premiers Britanniques, mais aussi comme dans la chanson de Frank Sinatra. C'est un feu d'artifice dans sa tête. Mais voilà, il est six heures de l'après-midi, et Jim est seul dans sa chambre. Il est le seul des Simple Minds à l'hôtel d'ailleurs. Pas de GSM à l'époque. Que faire ? Il faut fêter ça ! Et bien que Jim ne boive pas, ce qui pour un Ecossais est assez rare, je vous l'accorde, il descend au bar.Ouvrez-moi une bouteille de champagne ? Vraiment ? Quel champagne ?J'en sais rien, du bon !Ah on fête quelque chose, là. Combien de verres ?Euh, un. Je fais partie du groupe de rock qui est descendu dans votre hôtel et je viens d'apprendre qu'on est N°1 aux États-Unis.Évidemment, pompette dès le premier verre. Jim est complètement jeté dès le troisième et lance un franc Mettez un verre à cet homme, dès qu'un mec entre dans le bar. Ah ben oui, c'est pas rien d'être devenu Frank Sinatra du jour au lendemain, faut assurer. Et même si personne ne le croit ce soir-là, s'il s'est ruiné en addition, et même si le lendemain tous ses cheveux se sont mis à pousser à l'intérieur du crâne, comme Jim l'a dit, N°1 aux USA, il fallait que ce soit fait.Quelques mois plus tard sort l'album Once Upon A Time, déjà le septième pour Simple Minds, mais le premier sur lequel ils alignent cinq hits et se mettent à vendre des millions de disques, avec toutefois, des chansons engagées, comme leurs copains de U2. Tenez, celle-ci qui parle des femmes polonaises dont les maris, opposants à la Russie soviétique, ont disparu depuis longtemps sans laisser de traces, n'est pas des moindres.

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by guitarist and songwriter Cathal Mac Gabhann from Cork alt-rock and shoegaze outfit The Altered Hours — one of Ireland's most vital underground bands. The Altered Hours released their self-titled third album on November 7th via Pizza Pizza Records. Recorded to tape by analogue producer Julie McLarnon (New Order, Lankum, Happy Mondays), the album captures the band at their most raw, warm, and emotionally direct. Formed in 2010, the band have carved out a unique place in the European alternative scene through two albums, a run of EPs, and a reputation for immersive, fuzz-drenched live shows. Their independent spirit has earned them admiration from peers and fans alike. Cathal discusses the band's evolution, the creative shift behind the new record, and how recording to tape has brought out their most dynamic sound yet. He also reflects on touring with Fontaines D.C., playing venues like The Bataclan and Alexandra Palace, and stepping in as their live guitarist across Japan and Australia. Now signed to Pizza Pizza Records, The Altered Hours step confidently into a new phase — honouring their psych-rock roots while pushing into bolder, more atmospheric territory. Listen to Cathal Mac Gabhann discuss the making of the new album, the journey behind it, and where The Altered Hours go next — exclusively on the XS Noize Podcast.

C'est l'époque qui voulait ça, dans les années 80, énormément de mythes circulaient à propos des groupes, chanteurs et chanteuses. On n'avait rien sous la main pour vérifier ce que des gars disaient à propos d'untel ou untel, les articles étaient rares dans la presse et les journalistes des magazines spécialisés étaient souvent logés à la même enseigne que leurs lecteurs. En clair, on ne savait rien des mecs qu'on écoutait en boucle, à part ce qui était écrit sur les pochettes de leurs disques. Alors, un groupe comme Simple Minds, vous pensez si on en a entendu au milieu des années 80. Tenez, à propos de leur énorme tube de l'été 85, Don't you forget about me … ben la chanson n'est pas d'eux. Ah bon ? Vérification faite sur le disque, ben ouais. Merde, c'est Keith Forsey. En résumé, c'est un transfuge, un british venu du monde crypto rock allemand des années 70 qui devient le batteur de Donna Summer mais produit aussi Billy Idol, puis écrit des musiques sur la BO de Flashdance et Ghostbusters. Et justement il est approché par une jeune cinéaste américain pour un projet nommé The Breakfast Club. Ça raconte le samedi de quelques ados en retenue dans leur école. Et comme ce cinéaste est fan de New Wave british, il veut Simple Minds.Les gars écoutent la chanson, mais non. On veut bien en faire une mais on l'écrit nous-mêmes. Mais leur manager étant convaincu que le générique d'un film américain, c'est bien pour percer le marché, il insiste et leur fait voir une copie du film … A la sortie, ça reste non. Qu'est-ce qu'on en a à foutre des problèmes d'étudiants amerloques. C'est quoi ces heures de retenue ? Ça n'existe pas chez nous, en Écosse. Bon, OK, on se rend. Keith Forsey et John Hugues approchent Billy Idol mais c'est non aussi, il fait un alors un carton monstre, et puis Bryan Ferry mais là encore, pas de bol, il sort disque sur disque solo et ne tient pas à embrouiller les cartes. Alors qui ?Et là, il se trouve quelqu'un à qui la chanson a plu. C'est Chrissie Hynde, la chanteuse des Pretenders. Et qui est depuis peu la femme de Jim Kerr. Et ce que femme veut … Bref, les Simple Minds se retrouvent avec Keith Forsey. Fais voir un peu ta chanson … ouais pas mal. Écoute, on va la faire mais je vais changer les paroles au début et à la fin OK ? A-t-il manqué de temps ? En tout cas, le jour de l'enregistrement, Jim Kerr envoie un hey Hey Hey au début et des Lalalalala à la fin. Je vais combler après, dit-il, je reviendrai. Jim ne reviendra pas, la chanson sortira comme ça et bingo. C'est les gimmicks que tout le monde a retenu, et aussi le premier et dernier numéro 1 de Simple Minds aux États-Unis. Alors, on va l'ajouter sur le nouvel album finalement, qui sort fin de l'année 1985.

Il y a quarante ans exactement, beaucoup d'entre nous se faisaient une fête d'aller chez le disquaire acheter le nouvel album de Simple Minds, ou l'un de ses cinq singles qui ont tous fait un tube … Ah oui, album de platine en Belgique quand même. Là, on a largement débordé du cadre des fans de New Wave pure et dure qui suivaient le mouvement depuis maintenant six ans. En Grande-Bretagne, c'est carrément trois fois platine, 900.000 albums pour un pays alors de moins de 60 millions d'habitants et aux États-Unis, ça démarre vraiment pour eux avec un demi-million.Évidemment, le générique final d'un certain film y est pour quelque chose … et bien sûr les têtes d'affiche du Festival Torhout Werchter aussi, avec leurs demi-frères de U2. C'est bien simple, U2 et Simple Minds sont alors les deux noms que tout le monde cite quand on parle de New Wave. Il est déjà loin le temps où les Simple Minds étaient un groupe punk rock de Glasgow qui se faisaient appeler Johnny and the self abusers, très loin cette voix cavernale, quasiment d'outre tombe de Jim Kerr qui annonaient des paroles avec toute la joie d'une homélie funèbre. D'ailleurs combien d'entre vous n'ont pas entendu des copains ou copines dire à l'époque : Simple Minds, je les préférais avant, quand ils faisaient de la New Wave. Maintenant, c'est du commercial, ils ont vendu leur âme au dieu dollar.Ah ben oui, c'était ça, aussi, les années 80. Si vous étiez vraiment rock, vous ne mettiez pas un pied à Champs Élysées ou chez Jacques Martin. Un certain Philippe Manoeuvre dans les Enfants du rock le samedi, tard le soir, était là pour blâmer tout ce qui était formaté pour le grand public. Et c'est vrai qu'on a tous été étonnés quand en 1981, on a entendu le nouveau 45 Tours de Simple Minds sur les longues ondes des radios périphériques françaises, c'était juste improbable … Mais voilà, les temps changent, les années 80 sont les années 45 Tours et vidéoclips. Genesis et Queen sont devenus les rois du single, alors pourquoi pas Simple Minds. Car il faut leur laisser ça, aux Minds, quand on écoute leurs disques, on ne peut pas dire qu'ils ont troqué leurs instruments pour plaire aux fans de variétés françaises, ça envoie toujours. Ça envoie même plus qu'avant. Il faut dire que le producteur de leur nouveau disque est un gars qui a fait ses armes sur les premiers albums de Bruce Springsteen, produit le premier tube mondial de Patti Smith … ainsi que, l'année précédente, l'album live de U2, qui a révélé le groupe au public rock américain via MTV … Et franchement, ce titre, depuis quarante ans, on ne s'en est jamais lassé …

HISTORISKE SANGE Ligesom de tidligere temaer i Sejrstimen 'Krigs Musik' og 'Politisk Pop', vrimler det ikke med sange i dette nye tema og en del af dem der er, har klare referencer til netop krig og politik. Især i det nye årtusinde glimrer sange indenfor disse kategorier ved deres fravær, hvor det derimod var ret udbredt ikke bare i 60'erne/70'erne men også 80'erne. Derfor er de fleste af temaets navne/numre netop derfra: Tracey Chapman, Leonard Cohen, The Divine Comedy, Morten Harket, Latin Quarter, Midnight Oil, Morrissey, Momus, Not Drowning Waving, The Pogues, Nina Simone, Arja Saijonmaa, Simple Minds, Sparks, The Specials, Sting, TV2, U2, Roger Waters og Cassandra Wilson (billedet). Kunstnere og musikere var åbenbart meget mere villige tidligere til både at engagere sig i og skrive sange om politiske og ofte samtids-aktuelle forhold. Det så man ikke mindst vedr. Sydafrika/Apartheid. Respektabelt ville det være, hvis alle de samme navne også havde vovet det om andre tragedier og uretfærdigheder, især IsPalGaza

Les années 80, ça nous plaît, hein. La bonne musique funky, la pop électro, les synthés, la liberté de ton, la grosse éclate permanente. Franchement, on a vécu pire comme décennie, et probablement pas mieux. En 1985, on était au beau milieu du parcours et franchement, si on nous avait dit que cela n'allait pas durer ainsi, on se serait tous mis à freiner des quatre fers pour y rester le plus longtemps possible. Et donc aujourd'hui, un tas de gens nous disent tout le bien qu'ils pensent de ces années 80 même s'ils n'étaient pas nés ou étaient haut comme trois pommes, et encore, seulement à la fin. Et donc, je peux vous dire que les vivre, c'était quelque chose. Tenez 1985, on nous bassine toujours, et à raison, le même Live Aid mais grands dieux, il ne s'est pas passé que ça. 1985, c'est l'année du triomphe sans précédent de Dire Straits, quatre hits phénoménaux sur le même album … l'année où le Thriller de Michael Jackson atteint les 42 millions ‘exemplaires … du retour phénoménal de Kate Bush … et où Phil Collins règne sans partage sur le métier du disque … 1985, c'est bien l'album Positif de Jean-Jacques Goldman … du premier album de Jeanne Mas … Serge Gainsbourg remplit le Casino de Paris, Luc Besson débarque avec son ovni Subway, et puisqu'on parle cinéma, on court voir par millions Trois hommes et un couffin, Rambo II, Retour vers le futur, Out of Africa et un film pour ados, avec des ados, intitulé The breakfast Club.Pour nous, en Europe, et surtout en Belgique, le mec qui chante le générique final, on le connaissait déjà depuis des années, c'est Jim Kerr de Simple Minds. Mais pour la plupart des Américains, c'est une découverte qui vaut au groupe leader de la New Wave de faire une improbable percée dans ce pays où le son de cette musique ne s'est pas encore vraiment imposé. Le succès énorme et surprise du single vaut à Simple Minds d'être du bon côté de l'Atlantique le jour du Live Aid, à Philadelphie. Ah ben oui, quand U2 fait ce qui est pour nous, sa légendaire prestation sur la scène de Wembley vers 17.15, il est 9.15 à Los Angeles. Pas évident d'être devant sa télé. Tandis que pour Simple Minds, il est 14.00, un jour de week-end. Tout est dit. Alors justement, l'album que le groupe doit sortir à l'automne, pas question de le rater ; il est d'autant plus attendu que la prestation de Jim Kerr a été remarquée au Live Aid. Ah, il sort du lot, le gars, il a une attitude particulière, bien rodée par des années de succès à travers l'Europe. Et de fait, ce septième album de Simple Minds, qui s'intitule Once Upon A Time, je ne dois pas vous traduire, c'est le Purple Rain de Simple Minds : non seulement celui qui se vendra le plus, grâce au marché américain, mais aussi le meilleur d'un groupe qui nous en avait pourtant déjà sorti de solides. Quarante ans plus tard, avec ses cinq tubes devenus des classiques, il marque d'une pierre blanche le milieu d'une décennie d'exception. Car parmi tant d'autres chefs d'œuvres inoxydables parus cette année-là, il est le révélateur du fait que jamais la musique pop n'a atteint un tel niveau de qualité et de production. Et quand on mettait l'album sur la platine, il commençait comme ceci …

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by Pearce Macca — frontman of Birmingham indie-rockers The Clause, a band whose rise has become one of the most inspiring new stories in modern British guitar music. The Clause have just unveiled their long-awaited debut album Victim of a Casual Thing — a record built on pure graft, unshakable friendship, and more than a decade of refusing to give in. What started in a cramped school practice room in 2011 — with Pearce Macca, Jonny Fyffe and Niall Fennell learning their favourite songs before Liam Deakin completed the line-up — has grown into a band with a fiercely loyal fanbase and a reputation for electrifying live shows. Pearce looks back on the full journey: the teenage beginnings, the countless setbacks, the near-misses, the belief that kept them going, and the breakthrough moments that finally pushed the band to album one. He reflects on the stories they've lived together — the wins, the losses, the friendships, the heartbreaks — and how those experiences became the emotional engine of Victim of a Casual Thing. We also dive into The Clause's rise on the live circuit, from sweatbox early gigs to lighting up festival crowds at Radio 1's Big Weekend, Isle of Wight, Truck, Tramlines, and Rock 'n' Roll Circus. And Pierce takes us inside the making of the album itself — the sound that defines The Clause, the writing and recording process, and why this record feels less like a finish line and more like the start of the real story. "We've done this the long way — but it's the right way. It's made us the band we are." – Pearce Macca Listen to Pearce Macca talk about the decade-long journey behind The Clause, the heart and honesty driving Victim of a Casual Thing, and the breakthrough moment they've been chasing — exclusively on the XS Noize Podcast.

With era-defining hits like "She Drives Me Crazy," "Good Thing," "Johnny Come Home," and their electrifying version of "Ever Fallen In Love," Fine Young Cannibals became global chart-toppers — selling over five million records and earning two BRIT Awards, an Ivor Novello, and three Grammy nominations. Their sharp, soulful sound continues to influence generations.

Roland looks back on the band's beginnings, the explosive success of The Raw & The Cooked, and how his Otis Redding-inspired delivery fused with David Steele and Andy Cox's songwriting to create something completely unique. He also reflects on Fine Young Cannibals' continued cultural impact — including "She Drives Me Crazy" becoming the musical centrepiece of the 2025 Chanel campaign starring Dua Lipa and Jennie from BLACKPINK.

Eventjes terug naar 17 oktober 1980… Een destijds onbekende band staat op het punt van zijn echte doorbraak en komt na optredens in de Melkweg in Amsterdam en Vera in Groningen, naar de Gigant in Apeldoorn. Het was voor het eerst dat deze band te horen en te zien is buiten de UK. Maar erg onder de indruk was men in Apeldoorn niet van het eerste geluid van U2… Lokale punk-types uit Arnhem en Deventer waren wel op de poster afgekomen. Maar toen U2 het livegeluid van ‘Boy' ten gehore bracht, bleek het een complete mismatch tussen Bono en de omgeving Apeldoorn. Er gaan zelfs verhalen rond over LP's van het debuutalbum van de legendarische band die na het concert als frisbees door de zaal vlogen… Vandaag in Spijkers met Koppen eren we het Apeldoornse poppodium GIGANT - Goede Ideeën Gaan Alsnog Nooit Teloor. Want naast een piepjonge U2 staan ook Simple Minds en Nirvana op het gigantische podum, maar toch hadden ze het zonder Herman Brood nooit overleefd... Nu, vijftig jaar later kunnen we door het boek ‘Gigantisch Luid en Tegendraads' allemaal meegenieten van drugs, bloed, zweet en tranen in een plaats waar niets te doen was. Schrijvers Jan Westerhof en Siwert Hoogenberg praten over die gouden dagen van poppodium Gigant.

ALKY on Breaking the Cycle with His Debut Album 'Rinse & Repeat' (#258)

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by ALKY — the Dublin-born indie-rock artist and former Emmy-nominated audio engineer whose raw, heartfelt songwriting is making serious waves across Ireland's indie scene. From his breakout singles "Dirty Tricks," "All Because of Love," "Perfect," and "How Do You?" to sold-out shows at Whelan's and The Workman's Club, ALKY has built a growing reputation for pairing widescreen anthems with brutally honest storytelling. Now, he's stepping into a defining new chapter with the release of his debut album Rinse & Repeat, a powerful exploration of addiction, love, and the endless cycles we fight to escape. In our conversation, ALKY talks about the messy truth behind his lyrics, his transition from studio engineer to full-time artist, and how facing his own patterns of self-destruction became the creative spark for the record. He opens up about sobriety, resilience, and why imperfection — both in music and in life — can be the most honest sound of all. We also dive into the making of standout tracks "All Because of Love," "How Do You?," "Perfect," and "Dirty Tricks," his experience coming up through Dublin's live circuit, and how Rinse & Repeat became a cathartic statement on falling, getting back up, and finding meaning in repetition. "I noticed I kept falling into the same destructive behaviours — the same chaos regarding alcohol and my relationship choices. Rinse & Repeat is a reflection of that cycle and putting it into songs." – ALKY Listen to ALKY discuss the making of his debut album Rinse & Repeat, addiction, love, and finding strength in repetition on the XS Noize Podcast.

Moya Brennan on 'Macalla' at 40 — Clannad's Timeless Legacy (#255)

Play Episode Listen Later Oct 28, 2025 41:41

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by Moya Brennan — the unmistakable voice of Clannad, often hailed as the First Lady of Celtic Music. This year marks the 40th anniversary of Clannad's landmark 1985 album Macalla — a record that bridged ancient Celtic roots with modern pop and ambient textures. Produced by Steve Nye (Japan, David Sylvian) and recorded across Dublin, Surrey, and Switzerland, Macalla captured the moment when Irish music stepped confidently onto the global stage — featuring the iconic duet with Bono, In a Lifetime. In this conversation, Moya looks back on the creative and spiritual journey behind Macalla — from the evolving sound that carried Clannad from Donegal's Irish-speaking Gaeltacht region to worldwide acclaim, to the energy of recording during a golden era for Irish music, with U2 at Live Aid and the world discovering Celtic voices anew. She recalls the "lightning in a bottle" studio sessions with Bono and explores the deeper sense of faith, family, and identity that continues to echo through her work. "If Macalla helps someone feel something, even for a moment — that's what it was meant for." – Moya Brennan Moya also reflects on Clannad's role in reshaping how Irish music was seen around the world, and the blending of Gaelic language and modern production that became their signature sound. She discusses how her collaborations have taken her voice from folk stages to global dance floors — most famously with Chicane on Saltwater — and the enduring power of songs such as Closer to Your Heart, Buachaill Ón Éirne, Caisleán Óir, Almost Seems (Too Late to Turn), The Wild Cry, and Journey's End to connect generations. Listen to the full episode and join Moya Brennan as she reflects on 40 years of Macalla — the memories, the music, and the lasting echo of Clannad's legacy.

In this episode, #254 of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by a true architect of punk — Glen Matlock, the original bassist and founding spark of The Sex Pistols. Glen co-wrote ten of the twelve songs on the band's legendary 1977 album Never Mind the Bollocks, giving its chaos a melodic backbone that helped define an era. Now, he's reclaiming his story in the new documentary I Was a Teenage Sex Pistol — a compelling, filmic portrait of the Pistols' rise told through wry, honest, and often hilarious first-hand accounts. In this conversation, Glen looks back on the bleak yet electric energy of 1970s Britain, the provocations of Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood's SEX shop, Steve Jones' infamous thieving, and the band's chaotic search for a frontman that would ultimately change music forever. From bust-ups and fan mania to the tabloid outrage that followed, Glen offers a frank and insightful portrait of a group of misfits who tore down the old order — and the cost that came with it. He also talks about the real story behind I Was a Teenage Sex Pistol, co-writing the songs that built Never Mind the Bollocks, the truth about his split from the Sex Pistols, the spirit of early punk culture, fashion and rebellion, and the life lessons learned from one of rock's great survivors. Hear Glen Matlock reflect on the chaos, the craft, the myth — and the man behind it all.

By 1985, Simple Minds were coming off a #1 album in the UK with Sparkle in the Rain and sales from all around the world. But it only went to #64 in the US and they needed something to spark greater interest across the pond. When Don't You Forget About Me from The Breakfast Club Soundtrack hit #1 in May 1985, a song they originally resisted, they had that spark and built on that success with memorable performance at Live Aid in Philadelphia. Their next album would need to be special to keep the momentum building. New York producer Jimmy Iovine (Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Nicks, Tom Petty) came to London to work with the boys as they welcomed in new bass player John Giblin. He encourage Jim to emote more - to really sing his heart out - in the studio and his soul is captured on Once Upon A Time. Jim's lyrics are optimistic about the future - the native Glaswegians know where they come from (Oh Jungleland) and can be proud of what they've accomplished (Come a Long Way). Alive and Kicking would be the first single to follow up #1 smash Don't You Forget About Me and soared up the charts, thanks in part to a music video shot in the Pocono Mountains - former Simple Minds drummer Mel Gaynor enlightens us with a funny story from that video shoot! They can get political without getting preachy (Ghostdancing) while bringing you to your feet with glorious salvation (Sanctify Yourself). Released October 21, 1985, Once Upon A Time would be the 2nd consecutive #1 in the UK and the 1st gold record for the band in the US. But what if they put Don't You Forget About Me on it? It was already a #1 and hadn't been on a Simple Minds album.

This bold, live-driven reinvention captures the band at their most instinctive and free-flowing. Recorded live in the room for the first time, Night Light sees White Lies embracing spontaneity and creative risk — from the motorik rush of “Nothing On Me” and the 70s-inspired swagger of “Going Nowhere”, to the sweeping ambition of “All The Best” and the hypnotic finale “In The Middle.” Charles and Jack take us inside the fearless process behind the record — how rehearsing and performing songs before recording transformed the sound, how the influence of The Midnight Special inspired their approach, and how working with longtime collaborator Seth Evans unlocked a new sense of chemistry and space within the band. They also reflect on 16 years of White Lies — from their debut To Lose My Life… to the creative confidence of Night Light — exploring what keeps their partnership strong, how they've continued to evolve, and the joy of still finding new ground to explore together. “This record felt like freedom — the sound of a band who finally know exactly who they are.” — Charles Cave “It's amazing what happens when you stop chasing perfection and just play.” — Jack Lawrence-Brown White Lies' seventh album "Night Light" arrives November 7 via Play It Again Sam — a bold new chapter in the band's sixteen-year journey.

In this episode, #252 of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar talks with Aaron Starkie of The Slow Readers Club to celebrate A Decade of Cavalcade — the Manchester band's breakthrough album that defined their sound and changed everything. As Aaron reflects: “Cavalcade was the moment where it all started to click — we found our sound, our confidence, and that connection with the audience that's carried us ever since.” — Aaron Starkie Across its ten tracks, Cavalcade captured The Slow Readers Club's signature blend of brooding intensity and euphoric release — from the pulsating urgency of “Forever In Your Debt” and the anthemic hope of “Plant The Seed,” to the haunting emotion of “Days Like This Will Break Your Heart” and the hypnotic title track itself. In this conversation, Aaron takes us inside that pivotal era — from writing and recording Cavalcade to creating the album's striking geometric artwork himself, and how those songs continue to evolve a decade later. He also discusses the band's creative growth, the importance of their DIY ethos, and the emotional power of seeing those tracks come alive again onstage. The episode arrives as The Slow Readers Club prepare to hit the road for their A Decade of Cavalcade tour — revisiting the record in full while celebrating a new chapter of momentum following the Top 20 success of their latest album, Out Of A Dream.

In episode #250 of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by Andrew Davie from Bear's Den and Irish singer-songwriter Ciaran Lavery to discuss their beautiful new collaborative EP Promiser — a stripped-back collection celebrating love, simplicity, and connection. Quietly recorded over just five days in Andrew's home studio and released via Communion Records, Promiser explores the art of restraint — capturing songs in one-take performances filled with birdsong, rain, and real human imperfection. “There was this lyrical idea early on of trying to write songs that didn't need innate conflict or tragedy to exist — songs that celebrated love in its simple, domestic moments, without the need for high drama.” — Andrew Davie, Bear's Den Drawing inspiration from the intimacy of Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska and Adrianne Lenker's Bright Future, Promiser sees both artists embracing the beauty of limitation, joined by guests Emma Gatrill and Joshua Burnside for instinctive, emotionally charged one-take performances. In this conversation, Bear's Den and Ciaran Lavery reflect on the friendship and creative spark behind Promiser — writing songs without conflict, finding meaning in everyday love, capturing raw home-studio moments, and bringing the record to life on their fast-selling Irish tour. “Working with Bear's Den felt almost accidental — we followed what felt right, not what was perfect.” — Ciaran Lavery “Ciaran's songs would just appear — almost fully formed — and that was a real joy to witness.” — Andrew Davie, Bear's Den Bear's Den are known worldwide for their cinematic folk sound and emotional honesty. Ciaran Lavery, one of Ireland's most acclaimed singer-songwriters, is celebrated for his poetic lyricism and intimate storytelling. Together, they've created something special with Promiser — a record that captures the raw beauty of two songwriters in complete creative trust.

In Episode #247 of the XS Noize Podcast, host Mark Millar is joined by Finn O'Brien — frontman of London via Bristol indie band The Jacques — to discuss the band's powerful new album Make Repetition. The Jacques' story is one of resilience, tragedy, and survival. Formed as teenagers, they rose quickly with early festival slots and a Libertines support show at Hyde Park, before facing devastating setbacks — including the loss of bandmate Will Hicks and Finn's own battle with addiction. Now, with Make Repetition!, produced by Dan Swift, Jules Apollinaire, and Gordon Raphael, the band have emerged with their strongest, most confident work to date. In this episode, Finn talks about the stories behind songs like “Nothing Amazing” and “Via Dolorosa,” how he ended up making John Lydon cry while touring with PiL, and what really happened when the band's gear was stolen by their tour manager. He also reflects on music as a vital lifeline, the resilience that has carried The Jacques forward, and why their next record might be a concept album.

In Episode #245 of the XS Noize Podcast, host Mark Millar is joined by Neil Hannon — the brilliant mind behind The Divine Comedy — for a revealing conversation about his stunning new album, Rainy Sunday Afternoon, out this September on Divine Comedy Records. His 13th studio album and perhaps his finest to date, Rainy Sunday Afternoon, was recorded at Abbey Road and finds Hannon blending lush orchestral arrangements with sharp lyrical insight. Written as a response to personal reflection and global unrest, the record explores themes of memory, mortality, and melancholy — all delivered with his trademark wit and elegance. The Divine Comedy's 13th album, balancing grief and absurdity, and why songwriting still feels like emotional alchemy. The album's lead single Achilles, inspired by a 1915 WWI poem, is a moving meditation on bravery and loss. Elsewhere, Hannon reflects on writing songs for the hit film Wonka and revisiting his past through the remastered Divine Comedy back catalogue. In this episode, Neil discusses the emotional and philosophical ideas behind the new record, the creative freedom of writing for film, and why music — now more than ever — needs both sadness and silliness. He also teases the upcoming UK tour and shares reflections on a career spent crafting one of Britain's most unique and literate songbooks. Whether you've followed The Divine Comedy since Casanova, or are discovering Neil's genius for the first time, this is a rich, witty, and deeply human episode not to be missed.

In Episode #244 of the XS Noize Podcast, host Mark Millar chats with Tom Smith — frontman of Editors — about his debut solo album There Is Nothing In The Dark That Isn't There In The Light, released 5 December on Play It Again Sam. After two decades leading Editors through seven acclaimed albums and two records with Smith & Burrows, Tom is stepping into solo territory for the first time. Motivated by a desire to reconnect with the raw, acoustic beginnings of his songwriting, he set out to create something more intimate and personal — a world away from the collaborative nature of his band projects. Produced with Iain Archer, the album blends stripped-back honesty with cinematic flourishes, moving from the nostalgic ache of Lights Of New York City to the soaring drama of Life Is For Living. Along the way, Tom explores themes of memory, resilience, and connection, balancing melancholy with hope. In this episode, Tom talks about finding his voice as a solo artist, the stories and emotions behind these songs, and we also revisit the Editors' back catalogue that made him one of the UK's most distinctive frontmen. Whether you've followed Tom's journey from the very first Editors record or are meeting him here for the first time, this is an intimate and revealing look at an artist entering a bold new chapter.
