Down With Boring: 10 years of Swim Deep's 'Where The Heaven Are We'
Last week, our flagship podcast-slash-radio-show-slash-nonsense Down With Boring embarked on an IRL journey with the mighty Swim Deep, to London’s The Boogaloo. There, we reminisced over a decade of the band’s debut album ‘Where The Heaven Are We’ for a night of stories, memories, special guests and very good music. Aired at the time on Boogaloo Radio, you can catch up with this week’s special edition of Down With Boring. We’ll be back with our usual service of new music and ‘stuff’ next week.
