Down With Boring

Leeds gang Yard Act have just dropped their five-star, Dork approved debut album ‘The Overload’, and will be joining Jake Hawkes and Jamie Muir on tonight’s episode as they embark on an actual, real-life chart battle. The tension is so thick you could cut it with a knife. That’s not all. We’ll be looking at their competition too – ‘Night Call’, the new album from Olly Alexander’s Years & Years. There’ll also be all the latest music news, new music from Holly Humberstone, Griff & Sigrid, English Teacher, Priestgate, CMAT, Lime Garden, Swim Deep and even a bit of N Dubz.

In the first edition of 2022, we're 'live' from Rockaway Beach where there's no available guests to chat to thanks to our good friend Covid, but a whole load of new music to go through - including The Weeknd, Yard Act, Let's Eat Grandma and loads more.

On this week's episode, we go behind the scenes at last week's Dork's Night Out Xmas Party at London's Colours Hoxton, with L Devine and Abbie Ozard.

Hype List 2022 star Gracey joins us for a chat, fresh off the back of dropping a brand new festive cover of ‘2000 Miles’. There’s also new music from Sam Fender & Holly Humberstone, Blanketman, Mitski, Bandit, Surfbort and loads more.

This week, we're chatting to our festive chum L Devine ahead of her A Very Dork Christmas tour later this month. Plus, an album of the week from No Rome, new music from Wet Leg, SZA, Abbie Ozard and Alix Page, and loads more.

It's a Hype List 2022 special as we discuss the acts we've tipped in our new issue for the year ahead. Plus, new music from Mura Masa, Yard Act, Chilli Jesson, daine and more.

Fresh off being named part of our Hype List 2022, beaux is the special guest for our latest episode. With a new EP out this week, the alt-popster joins us for a quick chat to celebrate his appearance in our run down of the buzziest new names for the twelve months ahead. Also this week, we’ve got an album spotlight for someone called Adele? Us neither. Plus, new music from Sea Girls, Wallice, Chloe Moirondo and her “SWEET LITTLE BRITISH BOYS” Thomas Headon and Alfie Templeman, and loads more.

We go behind the scenes at Dork's Night Out with Phoebe Green, Joey Maxwell and Mollie Coddled.

With his new track ‘Strawberry Kisses’ out now, and an EP ‘Victoria’ coming next year, Thomas Headon finally makes his way onto Down With Boring for a good ol’ fashioned chat. That’s not all, either. We’ve also got new music from the likes of Foals, Charli XCX, Snail Mail, Alfie Templeman and more.

With his new album under the Halfnoise name, ‘Motif’, coming at the end of the week (5th November), we chat to legendary drummer-turned-main man Zac Farro in this week’s show. That’s not all, either. We’ve also got new music from the likes of CMAT, Pixey, Lauran Hibberd, Zuzu and more.
