We are back... it may have only been a short hiatus but hopefully it made your love for new music stronger because that is what this podcast is full of!

Three new tracks from three up and coming bands and three revealing and insightful chats with artists that might just be your new favourites. Here is who Jim is talking to this week...

Idyllic: Liverpool continues to be a production line for great new guitar music and Idyllic are one of the latest bands generating serious buzz. Combining indie-rock swagger with infectious melodies and huge ambition, they've quickly become one of the most talked-about emerging acts on Merseyside.

British Birds: Album number three is on the agenda as British Birds join us for a chat about their latest release. Thoughtful, melodic, quirky indie rock with a knack for crafting songs that stick with you long after the first listen. Music that gets you twitching rather than for twitchers!

Young Martyrs: Young Martyrs fuse alternative country and Americana influences with heartfelt songwriting and timeless storytelling. Warm, authentic and packed with character, they're proof that great songs always find their audience.

Lock in, volume up, let's get lost in a world of new music!
