The Songs That Made UsEpisode 20 - Joy DivisionThis week the likely lads, Nature Boy Muffin and Naughty Boy, bend their lobeful ears towards the harsh sounds of Joy Division. We delve in to discography of one of the most influential British bands of all time, a band that had an impact on rock, goth, punk, alt, dance, house as well as many other musical genres.
Unfortunately the last 15 minutes of the recording were damaged when converting it and we couldn't save the end so it does cut off abruptly but you don't miss that much...

The Songs That Made UsEpisode 11 - Self Indulgent Once More (Part 1)Episode 11 is the first part of a two parter! Unfortunately the recording of the episode went close to 3 hours and myself and Connor thought that may be a bridge too far for most so we chopped it right down the middle, like a bad magic trick that ends in death.

The Songs That Made UsEpisode 10 - Arctic Monkeys Deep Dive (With Added Echo)Hello, we are back again! This time Connor is putting Jake through his paces and forcing him to listen and evaluate the Arctic Monkeys and whether or not he can get in to them. Apologies for the sound on this episode, it was the first time we had recorded face to face and we didn't dampen the echo enough so you can hear our voices bounce off each other's microphones so we will fix this next time we go face to face!2020-09-031h 42
The Songs That Made UsEpisode 9 - Metallica S&M RetrospectiveThe best podcast ever is back again with little bit of Metallica talk on the eve of the DVD release of S&M2. Connor realises he has a lot of feelings on this subject and the podcast descends in to the usual farce that we have come to expect from these two morons. Alas, one day we will talk about music and not say stupid stuff, but today is not that day.2020-08-271h 47

The Songs That Made UsEpisode 7 - Tetanus is Cool ft The IndelicatesIn this episode Jake handles the hosting duties by himself as Connor celebrates his birthday. We welcome The Indelicates to the podcast and Jake is somewhat awestruck due to his love of the band and may fanboy slightly (most definitely, very fanboyish) but it's a nice chat with great people and all worked well in the end and Simon even worked in a little dinosaur based sing song. As always if you like please follow us on twitter @songs_us or find us on facebook and youtube. If you like The Indelicates or want to listen to their music...2020-08-132h 07

Jack is mainly a folk musician originally from Birmingham who randomly ended up down in Plymouth where he met these 2 scallywags and realised their mutual love of fairly alright music. The album this time around is The 59 Sound by The Gaslight Anthem which is a corker! Enjoy.2020-07-231h 21
