S5E6 - Brighton Part II: Royal Blood (Overrated) & The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster (Underrated) - with Mike Lash

Over/underrated: a music podcast with Fran and Babs

Joined by Mike Lash from the Playlist Yeah! podcast, we're heading back to the sea - but is it boring?

Mike certainly thinks that the hype surrounding two-piece behemoths Royal Blood is undeserved - while some of their songs are certainly overplayed, will Fran & Babs agree they're overrated?

Babs & Mike also get excited about The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, a difficult to categorise band who clearly influenced many of their contemporaries. This episode was recorded before the news that the band are releasing an expanded reissue of ‘Hörse Of The Dög’, with liner notes by Edgar Wright. Will Fran jump onboard the TEMBD spooky train or has he decided to stay on the platform?

You should really check out Guy McKnight's side project The DSM IV, especially SCUMBAG.
