Podcast appearances and mentions of Steven Wilson

Social justice and “anti-racist” warriors are eroding the foundations of order and learning in schools. Steven Wilson, author of The Lost Decade: Returning to the Fight for Better Schools in America, joins the podcast for a frank discussion about the entities that forced the “lost decade” in K-12 education onto students, families, and school communities.

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.

Aquest és el segon programa de la cinquena temporada i la segona part de 25 del 2025. Un any estrany. He escoltat molta música i han sortit discos molt bons, però no n'he sigut plenament conscient fins que no he preparat aquest episodi. Hi ha tants discos per compartir que he hagut de dividir el programa en dues parts. Aquí teniu la segona part: cançons que m'agraden molt i que han sonat moltes vegades al cotxe, al reproductor de música portàtil i també a casa. No hi ha gaire misteri: en aquesta segona entrega hi trobareu 13 discos publicats el 2025. Hi ha música de Karfagen, Steven Wilson, Rosalía, Yuka & Chronoship, Ekzilo, Rigoberta Bandini, Demo Rumudo, Remei De Ca La Fresca, Singlelito, Van Morrison, Peter Murphy, Great Wide Nothing i Malabriega. Desitjo que us ho passeu tan bé escoltant-lo com jo he gaudit cuinant la crema.

In this episode of Industry Iowa, Steven Wilson talks with Mike Wagner of the White Rabbit Group about how leadership must evolve as workloads grow and teams shrink.Drawing from real-world experience, Mike explains why leadership today is less about pushing harder and more about building capacity, clarity, and trust — and why organizations that lead people well will be the ones that sustain performance in the years ahead.

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.

Aujourd'hui une émission encadrée par le bon son analogique des 70' mais avec aussi  pas mal de nouveautés notamment "made in France"  !  Mais d'abord la Suède et l'un de ses groupes majeurs, j'ai nommé KAIPA, à une époque où la formation dont le membre le plus représentatif (même s'il n'en est pas fondateur), le guitariste et chanteur Roine Stolt , s'exprimait dans sa langue maternelle. Le groupe a depuis adopté le langage universel anglais mais peu importe puisque je vous ai choisi un petit instrumental extrait de l'album "Solo" paru  en 1978... En revanche et pour la première nouveauté de l'émission, voici une formation qui s'exprime en langue maternelle mais rencontre un meilleur succès à l'étranger. Nul n'est prophète dans son pays, en l'occurrence le nôtre puisqu'il s'agit de LAZULI. C'est étonnant car les frères Léonetti et leurs amis produisent régulièrement de véritables perles tout à  fait accessible avec des textes magnifiques et in french in the texte, please !!…. Alors pour les voir en concert, mieux vaut aimer voyager… Ah si tout de même, j'ai une date en France : "Chez Paulette" à Pagney (54) le 03 avril prochain ! Dans ce numéro un extrait d' "Etre ou Ne Plus Etre", le tout nouvel album ! Pseudo nouvelle sortie avec YES… Je m'explique : l'album mythique "Tales From Topographic Ocean" est daté de 1973. Mais à l'instar des productions précédentes, Steve Howe (seul rescapé de cette époque bénie) fait recettes en ressortant ces grands albums du groupe en éditions "Super Deluxe"... Et pour le dernier qui vient de se voir offrir une cure de jeunesse, ce n'est pas rien : 4 vinyles - 12CD - 1 blu-ray audio (dont un mixage 5.1). Le tout livré dans un somptueux coffret avec un joli livret et plein de photos...Il faut dire qu'à sa sortie originelle, l'album faisait déjà parler de lui…. Mais pour ceux qui n'aimaient pas le rock progressif (et oui il yen avait déjà

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.

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.

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.

Un peu plus de 3 ans depuis leur premier album "Equilibrium", quel bonheur de retrouver la formation initialement crée par  les frères Senizergues : POLYCHROME. D'ailleurs cette histoire de famille n'est pas sans rappeler quelques fleurons du rock progressif français tels que les tôliers Ange ou les plus contemporains Lazuli notamment. Ce tout fraîchement sorti "Someday" est fort réussi, laissant toutes les chances à ces frenchies de rejoindre la cour des grands, avec des textes qui ont du sens, à l'instar de l'extrait diffusé ce soir, traitant de la procrastination qui peut-être individuelle (je connais bien

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.

Hey, it's the first episode of the Planet LP Podcast for 2026! Host Ted Asregadoo kicks off the new year by looking back at the memorable music-related experiences from 2025 with special guest Jeff Giles, co-host of The Record Player Podcast and author of Jefitoblog. While best-of lists may feel less relevant in today's era of personalized music consumption, Ted and Jeff take a different approach—reflecting on the moments, albums, books, concerts, and documentaries that made 2025 memorable for them personally. Jeff shares an update on his work-in-progress novel, "Largo's Dream," inspired by the 1998 album, Largo, produced by Rick Chertoff and Rob Hyman, which drew inspiration from Dvořák's New World Symphony. Ted dives into his reading highlights, particularly Eric M. Shade's "It's All Over the Place: The Rise of the Bangles from the LA Underground," a detailed chronicle that gave him newfound respect for the band's musicianship and their struggles navigating the music industry's challenges. The guys also talk about that nine-part documentary about The Beatles on Disney+ -- which gets mixed reviews, but was still memorable. The episode also covers Ted's impressive concert year, including the all-day Cruel World festival in Pasadena featuring Midge Ure, a 'Til Tuesday reunion, DEVO, The Go-Go's, She Wants Revenge, Garbage, New Order, and a standout performance from Nation of Language. Ted also recounts seeing Wolf Alice at the Fox Theater in Oakland—a show that turned him into an even bigger fan—and experiencing Belly perform their album "King" in its entirety at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. Plus, he shares his thoughts on the prolific and experimental Steven Wilson, whom he saw live at The Masonic Theater in San Francisco. Jeff reflects on Ted's dedication to Rush, noting the $300+ tickets Ted purchased to see them in LA and San Jose—a level of commitment that Jeff admits he can't match, even for his own favorites, such as The Doobie Brothers and Billy Joel. Join Ted and Jeff for an engaging conversation about what made 2025 a memorable year for them. Maybe it'll get you to reflect on your own music experiences, too.

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.

450ème numéro en direct ! Pour notre voyage progressif , départ de Bristol ce soir, lieu de naissance de STACKRIDGE en 1969, ici pour un extrait de l'album "Extravaganza" en 1975; 4ème parution d'une formation déjà bien modifiée et pour la première fois sur le label d'un certain Elton John : "Rocket Records Company". La galette suivante sera la dernière avant qu'une partie de la bande ne forme un groupe phare des 80's : The Korgis, mais là c'est une toute autre histoire bien éloignée du rock progressif et Il faudra attendre notre 21ème siècle pour voir ressurgir la formation ! Toujours en Terre d'Albion, le guitariste talentueux mais pas assez connu en France PAUL LANDRY (par ailleurs multi-instrumentiste) vient de publier "The Progulator", une rétrospective de titres rock prog instrumentaux enregistrés entre 2016 et 2025. Je vous ai choisi l'excellent "Apocalypse Earth" enregistré en 2021. Juste en face, il y a la Bretagne, terre de magie et de légendes où se cache DAM KAT, connue dans l'excellente formation aujourd'hui dissoute : "Children Of Paradise". Autrice, compositrice, claviériste, chanteuse, illustratrice, poétesse...Ne serait-elle pas la fameuse Dame Blanche ? En tout cas, il semblerait que la musique soit pour un temps mise de côté, notre artiste se concentrant sur les arts visuels et la poésie. Je vous invite d'ailleurs à visiter son site pour vous rendre compte de l'étendu de ses talents. Mais pour ce qui concerne la magie des notes, retour dans ce numéro sur son album solo "Alawn" sorti en 2017 et en attentant une hypothétique suite musicale, après tout ne sommes nous-pas encore en période de vœux ?        En parlant de légendes, l'une des formations mythique du rock progressif anglais, YES, publiait en 1980 son album "Drama". Opus atypique car, outre un changement important de personnel (1er départ de Jon Anderson et 2ème pour Rick Wakeman) et même si les fans se sont vite habitués à l'instabilité constante de ses membres, ici la nouvelle mouture intègre le duo de New Wave les "Buggles" (Trevor Horn et Geoff Downes). Contre toute attente, la sauce prend parfaitement et si Drama a des accents pop, les racines prog ne sont pas oubliées, pour preuve l'excellent extrait diffusé ici. Une formule que Yes ressortira en 2011 avec "Fly From Here" et surtout sa version réenregistrée en 2018 par Trevor Horn derrière le micro !  Plus contemporains et une découverte toute récente pour ce qui me concerne, le groupe finlandais MOVING STATES. Pas grand chose à dire car peu d'infos sur cette formation, mais comme mes cages à miel ont particulièrement apprécié leur son, j'avais envie de vous en faire profiter, avec un extrait de leur EP "Affections & Illusions Pt. 1" paru il y a quelques mois.   Autre belle découverte de 2025, le projet de David Foster, DAIDRUM, pour son second album sous cette entité. "All At Sea" aurait du paraître un an plus tôt mais retardé par un évènement personnel et familial traumatisant pour David, la perte de sa fille ainée...Beaucoup d'émotions à l'écoute de cet opus pour celui qui a choisi de porter comme nom d'artiste sur ce travail, le surnom de ses jeunes années de musiciens (batteur) au seins de formations galloises. Jetez vous à l'eau, superbe album !  En 1970, sortait le tout premier opus d'une formation anglaise, CURVED AIR,  devenue culte, dont le son est immédiatement identifié par la voix de sa chanteuse Sonja Kristina (mais il ne fait pas oublier les talents de violoniste de Darryl Way ! ). "Air conditioning" peut-être qualifié d'un "best of" dans le musée du rock progressif, mais un musée vivant puisque nos amis britanniques ont eu la chance de voir Sonja & Co sur scène à Londres il y a deux mois ! A quand un studio SUN à en Angleterre pour vous y présenter Amarok  ?! Nos voisins outre-Rhin ne sont pas en reste quand il s'agit de rock progressif et l'un de ses dignes représentants contemporains s'appelle Philipp Nespital qui en 2010 fondait à Berlin SMALLTAPE et dont le 4ème album "Tangram" est sorti il y  a quelques mois. Si vous savez apprécier les sons  à la "Steven Wilson", alors vous ne serez pas insensible au talent de son collègue germanique !  Retour en France et après la Bretagne, la région centre et les rives de notre Loire bien aimée mais quelques années en arrière ! Orléans au début des années 70 voit émerger un groupe au nom remarquable : MONA LISA, aidé par un certain Jean-Michel Brézovar, regretté guitariste de "Ange" qui va le prendre sous son aile (angélique bien sur ! ) et produire son premier album. Mais c'est un extrait de la 5ème et ultime galette que je vous ai mise au four : "Vers Demain", titre malheureusement vain car déjà le chanteur a quitté  le navire (le rôle est alors tenu par le batteur Francis Poulet) et Mona Lisa n'aura pas le destin de son cousin Ange, les années 80 ne laissant pas beaucoup de place au rock progressif et particulièrement en France..    Enfin, pour terminer le voyage de ce jeudi, direction la Suède avec Abba...euh pardon ANEKDOTEN ! Et si l'émission se termine par un groupe contemporain (et ici l'album "From Within" de 1999), il laisse malgré tout un parfum d'age d'or des 70's, avec notamment l'usage de mellotron, instrument très usité dans cet excellent groupe.  Thierry Joigny Chaque jeudi, à 20h Suivez Amarok sur Facebook également sur instagram  

Après notre numéro spécial du 1er de l'An et pour reprendre le rythme habituel de cette émission, j'avais envie de mettre à l'honneur pour démarrer ce numéro d'AMAROK....AMAROK ☺️. Il semble que le fondateur polonais de cette formation d'inspiration oldfieldienne, Michal Wojtas, et votre serviteur ayons eu la même influence du musicien anglais Mike Oldfield à qui l'on doit l'album du même nom. Mais Michal a su s'émanciper de l'influence du Maestro et nous offrait en 2024 un superbe 7ème album intitulé "Hope", un titre qui en ce début d'année pour le moins instable nous rappelle qu'on en a tellement besoin... A peine 2026 commencée et une première nouveauté de l'année : PETER GABRIEL et un magnifique single intitulé "Been Undone". L'ex-Genesis renouvelle la formule de son précédent opus ("O/I") jusqu' au nom du nouvel album : "I/O" (vous suivez ?

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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This month we're in the slightly more recent past as we tackle 2015 which was only 18 months before the podcast began. (although is allegedly a decade ago despite feeling like last week). There's ethereal pop, modern classical piano epics, unsettling hiphop and an interesting new conspiracy theory about the nation of Iceland. We've each chosen our 10 favourite songs of the year and sent them over to Colin's wife Helen, who put the playlists together and distributed them so we were each given a playlist of the 20 songs from the other two hosts, along with our own 10. We then ranked the playlists in order of preference and sent them back to Helen, who totalled up the points and worked out the order.She also joined us on the episode to read out the countdown, which we found out as we recorded so all reactions are genuine.Now, admittedly, in parts we're a little bit brutal to some of the songs in the list as we're three separate people with differing music tastes, but please remember that to be in this episode at all the songs have to have been in one of our top 10's of that year.Bands featured in this episode include (In alphabetical order, no spoilers here!) - Ahab, VLMV, Aurora, Julien Baker, The Chemical Brothers, Beck, Destroyer, Earl Sweatshirt, Envy, Father John Misty, Fear Factory, Ghost, Goatsnake, John Grant, Jamie XX, Carly Rae Jepsen, Kathryn Joseph, Kendrick Lamar, Lanterns On The Lake, Leprous, Little Mix, Low, Lubomry Melnyk, Pastel Ghost, Pinkshinyultrablast, Mark Ronson, Bruno Mars, Soley, Sufjan Stevens, Waxahatchee, Steven Wilson, & Wolf Alice. Find all songs in alphabetical order here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2eXXu2uUDKI5EhiuZeWlRS?si=61bb5362ccbb45d5Also, very excitingly Ian has just released his new album "Please Hesitate To Contact Me" under the name The Grief Executive. 33 minutes of ultra-eclectic office themed exasperation taking in influences from industrial metal, 90s r&b, hiphop & grindcore. You can find it on bandcamp here - https://thegriefexecutive.bandcamp.com/album/please-hesitate-to-contact-me or on Spotify here - https://open.spotify.com/album/681opO2y8aeWoKo3CVH95v?si=R3oz68GtQMCZ3XSJak8i8w.

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by Charles Cave and Jack Lawrence-Brown from White Lies to discuss their electrifying seventh album "Night Light". 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 a candid conversation with Eddie Trunk, Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil shares the harrowing details of his Christmas night stroke that left the entire left side of his body paralyzed. Despite doctors telling him he'd never perform again, Neil describes his grueling six-month recovery journey from wheelchair to walker to cane, and ultimately back to the stage. He reveals the shocking discovery that he had previously experienced four strokes without knowing it, discusses the blood clot that caused his most recent episode, and reflects on his determination to rejoin Motley Crue for their Las Vegas residency. Also on the podcast, renowned musician and producer Steven Wilson joins Eddie to discuss his extensive work remixing classic albums in Dolby Atmos and spatial audio formats. Wilson shares how he became the go-to remixer for legendary bands, his meticulous process of reconstructing original stereo mixes before adding spatial elements, and the challenges of working with aging master tapes.

In Episode #248 of the XS Noize Podcast, host Mark Millar is joined by Rick McMurray — drummer of Northern Irish rock legends Ash — for a deep dive into their brand-new ninth studio album, Ad Astra. Arriving just two years after Race the Night, Ad Astra finds Ash in rocket-fuelled form. Featuring collaborations with Graham Coxon and a wild cover of “Jump in the Line,” the record fuses ferocious riffs with reflective moments, showing a band still evolving three decades in. In this episode, Rick talks about the making of Ad Astra, the madness behind “Fun People” (and working with Coxon), the defiance/hope at the heart of “Give Me Back My World,” why the “Jump in the Line” cover made sense now, and how songs like “My Favourite Ghost” and “Keep Dreaming” bring balance. He also reflects on being “lifers, not part-timers,” Ash's place in today's scene, and taking the new songs on the road.

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.

Michael Steven Wilson (Tohono O'odham) was a lay pastor on the Tohono O'odham Nation in the early 2000s when he started putting out water for migrants crossing the U.S.- Mexico border. He considered it a religious and ethical calling, but it put him at odds with U.S. immigration officials, his church, and his own Native nation. Growing up in Tucson, Ariz. in the 1950s, Wilson endured racism and poverty. He witnessed injustice in Central America while serving in the military — and he confronted questions about his Christian faith while in seminary school in the 90s. His experiences and observations informed his decision to help relieve the suffering of the migrants risking their lives to cross the Sonoran Desert. They are also documented in the memoir, “What Side Are You On?” Wilson is our August Native in the Spotlight.
