Podcasts about Simple Minds

This week on The Metro, Rev. Jeff Ivins brings you the following: Scritti Politti, Cyndi Lauper, Wham!, Erasure, Nick Lowe, The Psychedelic Furs, Bronski Beat, Fun Boy Three, Bow Wow Wow, Magazine, Morrissey, China Crisis, Timbuk 3, Simple Minds, and ends off with the Ramones.

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar sits down with Dave Pen of Archive to talk about Glass Minds — the band's 13th studio album and a bold new chapter in a 30-year journey defined by reinvention, collaboration and creative risk. Formed in Croydon, South London in 1994, Archive have evolved from trip-hop pioneers into one of Europe's most respected alternative collectives. Glass Minds, released Friday 27th February 2026 via Dangervisit through [PIAS], follows the ambitious 2022 triple-album Call to Arms & Angels, which charted Top 10 across Europe and culminated in their biggest headline show to date at Paris' Accor Arena. Produced by Archive alongside long-time collaborator Jerome Devoise, and recorded in Brighton, London and Paris, Glass Minds marks a shift toward a more minimal, down-tempo sound — built on space and emotional weight. New textures emerge through Essex rapper Jimmy Collins on "Heads Are Gonna Roll," while Lisa Mottram shines on the title track and "The Love The Light." At its core is the eight-minute "So Far From Losing You," one of the band's most personal and expansive pieces to date. In this conversation, Dave Pen reflects on joining Archive and becoming part of a true creative collective. He discusses the trust and experimentation that shape the band's process, the evolution of their sound over three decades, embracing AI in the album's visual identity, and why live performance remains the ultimate space where Archive's songs continue to grow and transform.

Die Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz ist gerade vorbei… In den Favourites gibt es diesmal Lieder, die zu mehr Toleranz und Frieden aufrufen. Ein paar der Lieder wurden lange Zeit von der Ausstrahlung im Radio zurückgehalten. Denn die Texte der Lieder regen oft zum Nachdenken an, und nebenbei wird oft auf die Sinnlosigkeit des Krieges hingewiesen. Mit dabei sind Lieder von Eric Burdon & the Animals, Barry McGuire, Fabrizio de André, Rio Reiser, den Simple Minds, u.v.m.

Edgar Romero Pico, en esta emisión de Observador Nocturno, nos invita a disfrutar de un programa dedicado a la música y trayectoria de Simple Minds.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's third album Howl was a risk — one that nearly broke the band. In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar sits down with Robert Levon Been to revisit the record that stripped away the noise and reshaped their identity. Originally released in 2005, Howl arrived as an unexpected curveball. The reverb-drenched guitars and white noise that defined the band's early records were stripped back, replaced with folk, blues and gospel-inspired arrangements built around space, restraint and raw emotion. It was a risk — one that confused some at the time, but has since come to feel essential within the band's catalogue. In this conversation, Robert Levon Been reflects on the creative decisions that shaped the album, the deliberate use of silence and atmosphere, and how stepping away from distortion opened up a deeper emotional register in the songwriting. He discusses the impact of critical reception, the perspective that comes with revisiting the record years later, and what it feels like to bring that material back to life on tour. Robert also shares insights into the band's current creative landscape, highlights key entry points for new listeners, and speaks about protecting the spirit of music in an era driven by speed and algorithms. A thoughtful and reflective conversation about evolution, instinct, and trusting your creative compass — even when it takes you somewhere unexpected.

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar sits down with Mark Shaw of Then Jerico to talk about The Return — a moment that reconnects legacy, live energy, and purpose as the band bring their full show to Ireland for the first time. Watch the full XS Noize Podcast conversation below. Then Jerico are currently touring the UK and Europe, with debut full-band Irish headline shows at Belfast's Limelight 2 on Thursday 19 February and Dublin's Whelan's Main Room on Friday 20 February 2026. The tour features a 90-minute set spanning the band's classic first two albums — First (The Sound of Music) and The Big Area (Outside) — alongside material from Mark Shaw's 1990s solo releases. In this conversation, Mark Shaw reflects on a four-decade journey through success, setbacks, and survival. He talks about the importance of audience connection, shaping setlists that balance momentum with meaning, and the breakthrough impact of Big Area. Shaw also opens up about carrying the legacy of Then Jerico as the sole founder, revisiting early recordings and B-sides with fresh perspective, and why he's still driven to write songs that speak directly to the present moment.

Amour, famille, maman solo, des rêves abimés, Paris, New York, Armentières, tout le monde descend ! Nos premiers invités sont Marc Nammour et Loïc Lantoine C'est l'histoire de plein d'histoires. Une ronde de personnages d'horizons multiples. Une série d'incarnations poétiques. Des fragments intimes d'hommes et de femmes portés au plateau. Onze portraits crachés à la première personne qui vont tour à tour se succéder. Voici le petit film intérieur de leurs pensées. Voici l'instantané de leurs états d'âme. Onze battements de monde présentés comme autant de miroirs de notre étrange condition. Pour la #SessionLive, Loïc et Marc se penchent sur les cas de Dylan, Bintou et Rebecca. Titres interprétés au grand studio : Rebecca Live RFI Il n'est vraiment pas pratique à attacher ce siège bébé. Par respect du public, tout terme grossier a été retiré. Mais putain, elle en a dit des gros mots Rebecca. Parce que c'est à Rebecca qu'on s'attache maintenant. Elle est une jeune maman, seule, qui s'agrippe à la vie comme à son fils. Elle s'agrippe parce que tout semble fuir autour d'elle, surtout les bonhommes. Son Papa est passé d'Haïti à Tahiti en passant par Paris, un aventurier, un cavaleur, un connard qu'elle n'a pas vraiment connu. Ahhh, ça démarre mal… Elle a cru une fois en l'amour qui ne l'a pas reconnue et depuis, elle élève seule son fils. Ahhh, ça démarre mal… Elle enchaîne les débrouilles, les boulots, une fois elle a signé un contrat en dur, un vrai, un CDI, Centre de Documentation et d'Information je crois… mais très vite, le boss s'est paraît-il barré avec la caisse. Ahhh, ça démarre mal…. Alors il faut bien vivre. Rebecca enchaîne les boulots précaires et s'est montée un petit trafic. Mais elle, elle touche pas à ces machins de drogues dures, c'est une limite. C'est malhonnête et ça fait mal au nez. Elle n'en est certes pas fière mais vous pouvez la juger, rien n'y fera. Rebecca est dure, comme sa vie. Il est vingt heures et trente, elle installe son fils, son sang, sa vie, à l'arrière de la voiture et part pour sa petite tournée. Ahhh… ça démarre pas…. Bintou Live RFI Bintou est complètement lessivée. Il est vingt heures et trente et elle se met péniblement au lit. Elle a mal partout et la nausée ce soir reprend de plus belle. Le doc lui avait bien dit que ça allait être pénible, qu'il allait falloir s'accrocher et que le moral jouait beaucoup dans sa guérison. Elle sait que ça va être long mais Bintou n'a pas l'intention de se laisser faire. Trente-cinq ans c'est beaucoup trop jeune. Après la stupeur et la désolation à l'annonce de la mauvaise nouvelle, elle suit à présent le protocole médical rigoureusement. Avant d'éteindre la lumière, elle regarde comme tous soirs le dessin d'une de ses nièces qu'elle a accroché au mur où il est écrit : « Tata Bintou t'es la plus forte, j'ai hâte de te revoir cet été. Je pense à toi tous les jours. Gros gros bisous. Hawa ». Elle a dû lire ce mot des centaines de fois depuis le début du traitement. Comme un mantra. Et heureusement qu'elle est bien entourée Bintou. Elle a au moins cette chance. Elle en a pris de la force. Elle en reçoit de l'amour. Après cinq mois de baston, elle s'est fait à l'idée de se transformer en amazone… et quitte à en devenir une, elle sera une amazone avec grave de style…  Dylan Live RFI Le problème avec Dylan, c'est que ça s'écrit comme ça se prononce mais pas toujours… Entendons-nous bien ! Ça s'écrit comme ça devrait se prononcer mais parfois ça dérape. Et au vu, enfin à l'écoute, du conditionnel qui vient de passer, vous avez deviné, lui c'est Djylan. Ça se fait beaucoup dans le nord où il a grandi. Ça donne un petit peu de peps au prénom et qui sommes-nous pour juger ! Il est vingt heures et trente et Djylan, il est parti fumer, un peu en cachette, c'est plus chouette. Il y a un étang pas loin. Djylan il est pas très vieux, il a pas fait sa majorité, il a plus trop de boutons et puis ça l'inquiète pas. Ce qui l'inquiète, c'est autre chose, c'est le monde et ce qu'il s'agirait d'en faire. Mais trop souvent, il s'agit de ce qu'on lui dit, hurle, impose qu'il s'agirait d'en faire. Lui, il voudrait avoir dans les mains un avenir malléable et doux (hop, je le mets comme ça, c'est joli) mais les autres ont sorti les moules et ils sont durs. On lui invente des devoirs et des interdictions. On lui réclame de l'ambition. Mais pour Djylan, l'ambition c'est jamais que du rêve abîmé et lui en rêves, il est plutôt pas mal. Alors des fois, sa tête pourrait exploser. Il crie, un peu, non, fort ! Un coup à shooter dans des rats musqués… mais c'est risqué ! Line Up : Marc Nammour (rap) & Loïc Lantoine (rap). Son : Benoît Letirant, Mathias Taylor. ► Album Portraits crachés  Instagram Nammour - Instagram Lantoine.   Puis nous recevons Barbara Forstner pour la sortie de Long Long Gone Franco-américaine, Barbara Forstner a passé douze ans à New York avant de poser ses valises en France. De son parcours transatlantique, elle garde une passion pour la scène folk et country américaine, qu'elle mêle à une écriture sensible et habitée. Après un premier EP avec son groupe October Baby (The End, paru en juin 2024) et un album remarqué, Nowhere at All, sorti en novembre de la même année, la chanteuse revient aujourd'hui avec son premier album solo, Long Long Gone. Ses morceaux, au climat très cinématographique, invitent à pénétrer son univers. Élevée dans un environnement artistique, Barbara a grandi bercée par les disques de ses parents : Bob Dylan, Sixto Rodriguez et Tom Waits du côté de son père ; Barry White, Al Green ou Simple Minds du côté de sa mère. Très tôt, elle forge son propre panthéon musical, allant de Nick Drake à Cat Power, de Feist à Big Thief.  Chaque titre de Long Long Gone a été capté en une seule prise, pour préserver la vérité de l'instant. Elle soigne aussi l'aspect visuel de son univers, créant elle-même ses visuels à partir de dessins, photographies et collages graphiques. Enregistré en juin 2025 à Paris avec son ami ingénieur du son Léo Aubry, Long Long Gone se présente comme un disque acoustique, brut et vulnérable. Barbara y aborde l'amitié, l'amour, la famille, mais aussi la beauté fragile et la mélancolie du monde. Écrit entre New York et Paris, l'album explore l'amour perdu, les amitiés qui s'érodent, la vie à l'étranger et les rencontres éphémères.  Titres interprétés au grand studio : - To see the World (en duo) Live RFI - Building a Home, extrait de l'album - East Coast (en solo) Live RFI. Line Up : Barbara Forstner (chant, guitare) William Peyrieux (guitare). Son : Benoît Letirant. ► Album Long Long Gone (Raws Prod).  Instagram - YouTube.

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar sits down with Kula Shaker frontman Crispian Mills to talk about Wormslayer — a record that captures the band feeling revitalised, confident, and creatively fearless. Watch the full video conversation. Released on 30 January 2026, Wormslayer is Kula Shaker's eighth studio album and sees the original line-up distil their explosive live energy into something cinematic, playful, and expansive. Often described as a natural companion to Natural Magic, the album allows songs to stretch and evolve, blending tight pop instincts with longer, more exploratory moments. In this conversation, Crispian Mills reflects on trust, chemistry, and why the band feels more alive now than at any point in their history. He talks about symbolism and synchronicity, the meaning behind key tracks including Lucky Number, Charge of the Light Brigade, and Broke as Folk, and the idea of creativity as an ongoing quest rather than a destination.

Hi everyone, welcome back to another season of THE TALK MUSIC Podcast!I'm thrilled to announce my first guest is Ben Wells from global rock powerhouse, Black Stone Cherry. Born in the backwoods of Edmonton, Kentucky, Black Stone Cherry have spent over two decades reinventing Southern rock with a vicious breed of melodic-heavy riffs and soulful grit. Formed in 2001, this four-piece brotherhood has remained remarkably consistent, only recently welcoming new bassist Steve Jewell Jr. in 2021.The band have released eight studio albums, dominated the UK Rock Charts with six consecutive #1 debuts, earned gold-certified albums, and headlined sold-out arena tours. In the U.S., they've had 17 singles hit the Mainstream Rock charts.With a new EP titled CELEBRATE coming soon, our chat goes deep into how the songs came together, including the title track Celebrate, which, as vocalist Chris Robertson explains, serves as a reminder to acknowledge survival, small victories, and the importance of celebrating the simple act of getting through another day.The EP also includes a powerful cover of the classic Simple Minds song “Don't You (Forget About Me),” featuring Tyler Connolly of Theory of a Deadman.We then dive into how the songs were produced and recorded, along with an overview of the band's incredible career so far. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar sits down with Dani Larkin to talk about Next Of Kin — a deeply emotive record shaped by time, patience, and a renewed sense of creative clarity.  Released on 23 January 2026, Next Of Kin marks a bold progression in Larkin's sound and vision. Co-produced with Ruth O'Mahony Brady, the album expands her acclaimed storytelling into a cinematic, emotionally rich landscape that explores life's most universal milestones — from birth and coming of age to love, loss, and acceptance. Structured as a trilogy, the record moves through distinct phases. Part I traces a journey from darkness toward revelation and youth. Part II sits in the complexity of adulthood, weaving love, fear, doubt, courage, and hope through expansive orchestral arrangements and intimate songwriting. Part III closes with a sense of resolution and homecoming, culminating in the poignant farewell Danny Boy. In this conversation, Larkin reflects on how releasing her debut Notes For A Maiden Warrior during the COVID era shaped her outlook, and why Next Of Kin feels like a true arrival moment. She talks about patience, self-acceptance, and the importance of creating space — both personally and creatively — between records. She also discusses the album's lead single End Of It All, a striking and urgent track that blends industrial drum beats, raw guitar, and a haunting reimagining of Row, Row, Row Your Boat — capturing the contradictions, anxiety, and fragile hope of modern life.

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar sits down with Paul Draper to talk about Mansun Retold — a project shaped by distance, perspective, and the strange experience of meeting your younger self through song. Watch the full video conversation. Releasing on 20 February, Mansun Retold sees Draper revisit and reimagine key songs from the Mansun catalogue, rebuilding them from the ground up as full-band, acoustic unplugged recordings. Rather than revisiting the past for nostalgia's sake, the album is about clarity — hearing familiar songs anew, stripped of urgency, ego, and expectation. Recorded at The Loft Studios in Surrey, the album was co-produced by Paul Draper alongside Paul "PDub" Walton (The Cure, U2, Björk, Massive Attack, Oasis). The sessions feature a string quartet arranged and led by Audrey Riley (Muse, Coldplay, Nick Cave), with drums performed by Julian Fenton — Mansun's original early-era drummer. Draper performs acoustic bass, acoustic lead and rhythm guitar, and piano throughout the record. In this conversation, Draper reflects on the emotional weight of returning to songs so closely tied to his own life, how he decided which tracks felt ready to be retold, and the responsibility he feels toward fans who have lived with this music for decades. He also talks about life beyond music, creative fulfilment, and how Mansun Retold is intended to be experienced — not as a retrospective, but as a living record, rooted firmly in the present.

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar sits down with Alexander Wolfe to talk about his deeply personal new album Everythinglessness. Watch the full video conversation. Written after a period of intense personal reckoning — including time spent in a mental health rehabilitation facility in 2023 — Everythinglessness explores masculinity, mental health, and emotional survival. Drawing on experiences of depression, anxiety, and ADHD, Wolfe turns vulnerability into something raw, intimate, and quietly powerful. Raised in 1990s Woolwich, Wolfe blends observational grit with cinematic songwriting, using analogue textures, layered harmonies, and stark piano lines to create a record that unfolds like a coming-of-age story — moving through grief, identity, and acceptance. In this conversation, Wolfe reflects on the mindset behind the album, the challenge of expressing softness in a culture shaped by silence and stoicism, and how music became a form of recovery rather than escape.

The Breakfast Club (1985) was chosen by Patreon supporter Lucky LouLou Green, and it stands as one of the defining films of 1980s American cinema. Written, produced, and directed by John Hughes, the movie was made during an incredibly prolific period for the filmmaker, as he reshaped teen movies with a more honest, character-driven approach. Shot on a modest budget of around $1 million, the film was produced quickly, with Hughes deliberately stripping away flashy set pieces to focus on dialogue, performance, and atmosphere. Principal photography took place at Maine North High School in Des Plaines, Illinois — a real, unused school that Hughes would return to multiple times throughout his career.The production schedule was famously short — just 28 days — and Hughes encouraged collaboration, allowing the young cast to contribute ideas and personal experiences to their roles. Several moments of dialogue were improvised or rewritten on set, helping give the film its natural, conversational feel that set it apart from other teen movies of the era. Composer Keith Forsey provided the now-iconic soundtrack, perfectly capturing the mood of mid-80s youth culture. Upon release, The Breakfast Club became both a commercial and cultural success, cementing Hughes' reputation and turning its cast into defining faces of a generation. Today, the film is widely regarded as a landmark of 1980s filmmaking — proof that a small budget, a single location, and strong creative confidence can produce something timeless.

Gino Marielli"Tazenda. S'istoria infinida"Felice LiperiIl Castello Editorewww.ilcastelloeditore.it Tazenda. S'Istoria Infinida è la biografia a firma Felice Liperi dei mitici Tazendain uscita a novembre per Il Castello (Collana Chinaski): un libro che, a quasi quarant'anni di storia dei Tazenda e a vent'anni dalla prematura  scomparsa  diAndrea Parodi, racconta tra radici, trasformazioni e visioni artistiche, l'abbondante mezzo secolo di storia musicale dei suoi componenti. Una storia che ha lasciato un solco profondo nella scena musicale sarda e nazionale. Fra ricordi, un racconto delle tappe della storia della band e i versi delle canzoni, si affacciano le testimonianze di tutti coloro che hanno partecipato a questa avventura.A cominciare dai molti musicisti. Oltre i fondatori Gigi Camedda e Gino Marielli, che hanno guidato la crescita artistica dei Tazenda, ai cantautori e musicisti che hanno collaborato con loro come Andrea Poddighe, Claudia Crabuzza, Piero Marras e Paolo Fresu, fino alle voci a cui è stato affidato il ruolo che fu di Parodi, dalle più recenti come Nicola Nite e l'attuale voce di Serena Carta Mantilla; o a quelle più lontane come Beppe Dettori: ciascuno a raccontarci il proprio contributo alla creazione e all'evoluzione del suono unico della band. Ugualmente centrali le testimonianze di altri personaggi del mondo dello spettacolo, dalla musica alla tv, come Gianni Morandi che nel volume racconta impressioni personali e aneddoti sulla collaborazione con i Tazenda. Poi ci sono i produttori come Giovanni Leonardi, Franco De Lucia e Mauro Cauchi. Ma anche i collaboratori storici, come Massimo Cossu eLuca Parodi, che svelano il dietro le quinte della carriera dei Tazenda: dai primi passi fino al successo nazionale e internazionale, ripercorrendo le scelte strategiche e creative che hanno plasmato la loro identità musicale. Infine le figure più tecniche: professionisti come Alberto Erre e Antonio Ferraro che riportano le sfide e le esperienze in studio, quei momenti che hanno costruito il suono distintivo della band, o lo storico road manager Sandro Frascogna al quale è affidato il racconto dell'organizzazione dei tour e del lavoro sul palco. Senza dimenticare i giornalisti: personaggi come Carlo Eletti o Pasquale Porcu che hanno disegnato la loro storia fin dai suoi esordi.Non meno importanti le testimonianze indirette che Felice Liperi, assieme a Gigi Camedda e Gino Marielli che con lui hanno ripercorso questo viaggio, sono andati a rispolverare: come i racconti di personaggi come Renato Zero e Pippo Baudo, Mogol, Marti Jane Robertson, Mara Maionchi o Red Ronnie che ci riportano l'impatto della band nel panorama musicale italiano. Nel raccontare i Tazenda è difficile non usare parole che evocano l'epica. Perché la loro storia attraversa la memoria di un popolo, la forza della natura e la poesia della lingua sarda, unita all'energia universale del rock. Dal 1987 a oggi, il trio simbolo dell'isola ha saputo fondere identità, spiritualità e modernità, portando la Sardegna sulle scene nazionali e internazionali con una voce inconfondibile.Epica, mito e fantascienza: tutti elementi che ritroviamo già nel nome dei Tazenda: una reinterpretazione di Star's End, pianeta immaginario della trilogia della Fondazione di Isaac Asimov. Un riferimento che suona come un passaggio naturale per i musicisti sardi, che prima di approdare a questa nuova identità avevano militato in gruppi dai nomi altrettanto simbolici: prima il Sole Nero, evocazione di un'epica anche qui dal sapore fantascientifico, poi il Coro degli Angeli, un nome che venne coniato da Mogol ispirato dalle sonorità celesti delle loro voci.Liperi, uno dei più autorevoli critici musicali italiani, costruisce un racconto che è insieme storico e sentimentale, ricco di riferimenti musicali e culturali. Il volume ripercorre l'avventura cominciata da Andrea Parodi, Gino Marielli e Gigi Camedda – e poi proseguita con nuovi compagni di viaggio – svelando come nei Tazenda la ricerca musicale si intrecci da sempre alla ricerca di senso: un continuo dialogo tra radici e futuro, tra poesia e ritmo, tra appartenenza e apertura.Fin dagli esordi, con Sos ojos de sa jana, emergono i temi fondanti del gruppo: il mare come orizzonte di libertà, la natura come sacralità quotidiana, la memoria come canto. Nei brani A Deus piachende e Scaldaci sole la spiritualità diventa invocazione, mentre in Mamoiada la tradizione si fa racconto corale di popolo e identità senza evitare di toccare temi sociali legati alle faide interne della Sardegna. È una lingua viva, la “limba”, quella scelta dai Tazenda: non solo strumento espressivo ma gesto culturale e politico, capace di dare forza e riconoscibilità alla loro musica.Felice Liperi mette in luce anche la dimensione musicale del trio, profondamente segnata dal rock – dagli U2 ai Beatles – e dalla capacità di dialogare con artisti come Fabrizio De André, Eros Ramazzotti o i Simple Minds. Nelle loro canzoni, canti a tenore, launeddas e arpeggi elettrici convivono in un magico equilibrio creando un suono che ha saputo raccontare la Sardegna  con un linguaggio musicale universaleCon questa biografia, i Tazenda ritrovano la propria “Istoria” raccontata attraverso la sensibilità di un autore che ne coglie la profondità poetica e musicale. Un viaggio che non celebra soltanto una band, ma l'anima di un'isola che continua a cantare se stessa, parlando – ancora una volta – la lingua del mondo.Felice Liperi, critico musicale, per molti anni conduttore e curatore di programmi per Radio Rai (Fahrenheit, Stereonotte, Sei gradi). Docente di corsi di Storia della canzone italiana e Popular Music al DAMS nelle Università di Genova, Udine e all'Officina delle Arti Pier Paolo Pasolini.Da molti anni collabora con “La Repubblica”.

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by acclaimed filmmaker Oliver Murray — the British writer–director redefining modern music documentary through his bold, cinematic approach. Following his 2023 short film Now and Then, The Last Beatles Song — made in collaboration with Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Sean Lennon and the Harrison Estate to celebrate the release of the Beatles' final single — Oliver continues his creative relationship with the band by directing the brand-new, final chapter of the legendary Anthology series. First released three decades ago, The Beatles Anthology reinvented the music documentary format. Instead of outside narration and talking heads, it featured John, Paul, George, and Ringo telling their story in their own words — a groundbreaking approach that shaped the way music history is now documented. Under Murray's direction, the series now receives its long-awaited conclusion: Episode Nine, a completely new instalment filled with unseen footage, including intimate behind-the-scenes moments of Paul, George and Ringo reuniting between 1994 and 1995 at Abbey Road. Oliver discusses how he approached taking on one of the most important music stories ever told, the responsibility of handling unreleased Beatles material, and the emotional legacy carried by Episode Nine — both for the surviving members and for generations of fans discovering the band anew. "Watching Paul, Ringo and George together in the '90s, the chemistry is exactly the same as when they were young — it's hard-wired. It feels almost scripted, but it isn't. That bond is still alive." — Oliver Murray A rising force in film and music storytelling, Murray has previously collaborated with some of the biggest names in music, including The Rolling Stones (My Life As a Rolling Stone), The Beatles (Now & Then), and Quincy Jones (They All Came Out to Montreux). His work spans genres — from jazz in Ronnie's: The Story of Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club to classical music with Lang Lang — and has been featured on Disney, Netflix, and the BBC. Listen as Oliver Murray takes us inside the making of Episode Nine — revealing unseen moments of Beatles history and the evolution of his craft — exclusively on the XS Noize Podcast. This is the definitive deep dive into the Beatles' final chapter. "Episode nine concludes the anthology, but it's not an end. The Beatles' legacy isn't a full stop — it's something that's in the groundwater now, something we all inherit." — Oliver Murray About The XS Noize Podcast With over 250 episodes, the XS Noize Podcast has become a trusted home for music's legends, innovators, and trailblazers — a place where real conversations meet real stories.

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.

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.

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.

This week on Talkin' Rock, it's Chris Robertson of Black Stone Cherry and the guys from Set It Off. Chris started us off by discussing their upcoming EP, which is set to drop on March 6th. There are six new songs and one cover. More about that in a minute. Celebrate is the name of the EP, and the first single to come from it. Chris said that the song is about everyday small victories. The cover song is with Tyler Connolly of Theory of a Deadman, and they covered the Simple Minds classic Don't You (Forget About Me). Chris said he's always wanted to cover that song and add more punch to it. We discussed Detroit rock legends, their European tour with Alice Cooper, and more. They play District 142 on Saturday, November 22.Set It Off wraps up this episode. The guys dived into going independent a couple of years ago, and it seems to have worked for them. They are loving being in control of their path and say it's opened more doors than they thought it would. They also have a new EP that they dropped a couple of weeks ago. We discussed great wings in Detroit, touring with I Prevail, and how well they treated them, and more. They play Saint Andrew's Hall on Thanksgiving Eve.

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by Roland Gift — the iconic voice of Fine Young Cannibals and one of the most instantly recognisable singers in British music. 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 returns with two major releases — FYC40, a definitive 40-year anthology, and his brand-new festive single "Everybody Knows It's Christmas", showcasing that unmistakable voice in glorious form. 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. We also talk about Roland's return to performing — touring with Jools Holland, shining at the 2022 Hootenanny, and his triumphant 40 Years of Songs tour, which launched with a sold-out London Palladium show. And we dive into "Everybody Knows It's Christmas" — a glam-rock, wall-of-sound celebration co-written with Ben Barson, full of warmth, nostalgia, and classic Roland soul. "Wherever you are I hope this song brings a bit of warmth, a smile, and maybe a bit of that Christmas magic your way." – Roland Gift Listen to Roland Gift discuss 40 years of Fine Young Cannibals, the making of FYC40, and the joy behind his new Christmas single — exclusively on the XS Noize Podcast.

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.  Verder: * Alles over de stoelendans in de nieuwe Tweede Kamer * Waar in vredesnaam is Apie?? * En Pas op! Pieter Derks heeft zeker 100x een mening. Presentatie: Dolf Jansen en Willemijn Veenhoven Cabaret: Owen Schumacher, Aron Elstak, Kiki Schippers, Marcel Harteveld, Shariff Nasr. Column: Hans Sibbel Livemuziek: Waylon

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.

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by Martin Blunt — founding member and bassist of The Charlatans, one of Britain's most enduring and beloved bands. From their breakthrough with Some Friendly to the anthemic Tellin' Stories and the reflective Modern Nature, The Charlatans have spent more than three decades making music that moves between euphoria and heart. Now, with We Are Love, they've created a record that feels like a true celebration — warm, hopeful, and full of connection. Martin talks about the chemistry that's kept the band together, the highs and heartbreaks along the way, and how they still find joy in playing together after all these years. He also pays heartfelt tribute to the late Rob Collins and Jon Brookes, whose spirit and influence continue to guide the band's sound and soul. "If you gave us the being-in-a-band tick sheet, I think we've ticked quite a few of the boxes." – Martin Blunt Listen to the full episode and join Martin as he looks back on the band's story, the soul behind We Are Love, and why — after all this time — The Charlatans are still chasing that same spark that started it all.

Die letzte Oktoberwoche gehört traditionell dem Sounds!-Rückblick auf jene Musik, die vor exakt vier Jahrzehnten erschienen ist. Bis und mit Freitag hören wir ausschliesslich Musik aus dem Jahrgang 1985: New Order, Prefab Sprout, Kate Bush, The Cure, und und und. Es war ein Jahr, in dem Synthesizer und britische Unterkühltheit gemeinsam die Klanglandschaft prägten: Auf der einen Seite New-Wave-Hits von Tears for Fears, den Simple Minds und auch die Pet Shop Boys standen bereits in den Startlöchern, auf der anderen Seite die düstere, goth-y Melancholie von The Smiths, The Cure, The Sisters of Mercy oder Killing Joke. Wir laden euch herzlich dazu ein, im Verlaufe der Woche mit uns Tracks von Prince, Prefab Sprout, Tom Waits, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Grace Jones, Sade und vielen mehr (wieder) zu entdecken. Wie immer ist unser Flashback thematisch aufgeteilt: Morgen Dienstag gibt's z. B. den Rückblick auf die Metal- und Punkkracher aus dem Jahrgang 85.

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. The Wolf believes it would have resulted in millions of more sales and fans for the band in the US but that's a debate you'll have to hear!

In this week's "Mornings Mixtape," Simple Minds lead singer Jim Kerr joins "CBS Mornings" to reflect on the band's iconic hit "Don't You (Forget About Me)," which helped define the 1985 film "The Breakfast Club." Kerr shares how the band almost turned down the song that became a timeless anthem.
