BM are on the front cover of KERRANG! this week! Get in, Michael. Boston Manor's new album Glue is out 1 May and it rips. Photo: Daniel Cunniff Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

The most performative UK ska-punk band ever, Lightyear are a band from Derby who started in the late 1990s. Chas takes us through all the big moments, starting from being a bullied kid who'd just moved to a new town; booking tours without having any music; to facing growing up during tough periods of more dense touring. P.S. I was trying to keep it PC for the young ones, so tried putting in curse bubbles. Sorry if that gets annoying. Thanks for listening! Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Releasing his new album Back To The Party on 27 March, Sam Russo is one of the smartest, most talented people I’ve ever met. An enigma of poetry, punk and unabashed storytelling, he talks to me about his jobs as a window smasher & school teacher, growing up in the tiny town of Haverhill, and releasing records on Red Scare Industries. Plus a lot more. Thanks for listening! Cheers. Photo: Julian Harding Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022. Visit acast.com/privacy for more information.
