Down With Boring

With her new song ‘So Grown Up’ just out, and a headline slot at the inaugural Dork’s Night Out next month on the cards, Phoebe Green joins us for a good old chinwag. That’s not all, either. We’ve also got an album of the week from current cover star Sam Fender, plus new music from the likes of Wet Leg, Ashnikko, PinkPantheress and more.

This month, we’re returning to that most obvious of October subjects, the spooky world of the supernatural. Expect an hour of haunting chat and quality music, hosted by Mez and our very own Jake Hawkes. Tracklist: Wet Leg - Wet Dreams Idles - The Beachland Ballroom Little Simz - I Love You, I Hate You Parquet Courts - Walking At A Downtown Pace Priestgate - Bedtime Story Warm Duscher - Wild Flowers

Lazarus Kane are the special guests on the latest episode of Down With Boring. We’re joined by the now six-piece’s leader Ben Jakes fresh off the back of the release of their Really Very Good new EP ‘Psychobabble’. That’s not all, either. We’ve also got new music from the likes of alt-J, Let’s Eat Grandma, L Devine, Pa Salieu, Pixey and more.

On this week's show, we've got an album of the week from Lil Nas X, plus new music from Sundara Karma, Talk Show, Michelle and more.

We're back from the festival fun with a show packed with the best new music, latest news and a threat to Winnie the Pooh. He's got it coming.

Reading Festival is great. Really great. That’s why this bank holiday weekend just passed, we headed down to Little Johns Farm to record the latest episode of our weekly radio show / podcast type ‘thingy’ Down With Boring. We’re joined by some big names as we bring you the best of what went down at Reading 2021, with Ashnikko, Declan McKenna, Girl In Red, Holly Humberstone, Sea Girls and The Wombats all featuring. Star power, huh?

We’re off for some festival fun at Leicestershire’s 110 Above this week as we’re joined by some top drawer Friends of the Magazine this week, with The Amazons, Black Honey, Baby Queen and Alfie Templeman all popping in for a quick chinwag – and in the case of young Alf, something altogether more sinister too. There’s also some of the best new music, including fresh material from Lorde, Blossoms and ‘more’.

This week, we're joined by Jade Bird - who's just dropped her new album 'Different Kinds of Light'. There's also an album of the week from Oscar Lang and new music from Lizzo, Sea Girls and more.

With her brand new EP, ‘Don’t Kiss Ur Friends’ out now, we’re delighted to welcome one of our favourite new alt-popsters MAY-A to the show. Plus, there’s an album of the week from IDER as well as new music from Holly Humberstone, Chubby and the Gang, BLACKSTARKIDS and ‘more’.

On this month's Sunday Lunch, Mez and Jake are packing their suitcases and heading out on the road for an edition packed with chat about tour life. Tracklist: Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers - Egyptian Reggae Lou Reed - Walk on the Wild Side Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps Bodega - How Did This Happen!?
