In this episode, Graham Coath sits down with Andy Golding of Dragon Welding to talk about the band’s new album, The Naughty Step, and its unique fusion of 80s electronica, indie noise-pop, and raw lyrical storytelling.
From childhood memories of school punishment to reflections on unresolved struggles, Andy shares the deep personal themes behind the album and the creative journey that led to its release. We also explore Dragon Welding’s evolution, the electronic reinvention of their sound, and how vocalist Nik Cockshott has brought a new dynamic to the music.
Plus, we chat about the stunning stop-motion video for the title track, created by award-winning graphic artist Andy Royston, and dive into the DIY ethos and experimental energy that defines Dragon Welding.
If you’re a fan of The Wolfhounds, 80s synth sounds, or boundary-pushing indie music, this one’s for you.
🎶 The Naughty Step is out now on Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp, Rough Trade & more – don’t miss it!
