Your fully independent NO ENCORE is here, led by a freshly-jabbed Dave Hanratty and a smooth-as-silk Craig Fitzpatrick.

With no album review to speak of this week, the boys turn their attention to records of yesterday, specifically those of a sophomore variety. Does the 'difficult second album' cliché apply? It does on Dave's side of things, at least...

ACT ONE: A reminder that Craig is the smooth one here, not Dave.

ACT TWO (6:16): The week in music news including reaction to the #PilotEvent, the pinnacle of Ed Sheeran's career, Morrissey's shoddy wordplay and some impromptu Top 5 inspiration.

ACT THREE (36:32): Top 5 Sophomore Albums – Best & Worst~!
