Having turned the ripe old of age of 100, NO ENCORE returns to tackle a fresh musical agenda once more.

David 'Higgs' Higgins returns in his capacity as guest pundit and knowledgable American sports fan, as the boys use their combined might to deliver the verdict on the debut album proper from Irish hip-hop hopeful Rejjie Snow.

All that and the usual mayhem....

ACT ONE: A final eulogy for Wild Beasts, some brief Brit Awards consideration and why the NBA have blood on their hands when it comes to the American national anthem.

ACT TWO: News! Liam Gallagher, Frank Ocean, The National and Maynard James Keenan all did something worth discussing this week.

ACT THREE: Rejjie Snow and Dear Annie go under the review microscope.

ACT FOUR: Songs of the Week with Muse, Father John Misty, Woodes, A$AP Rocky, Gucci Mane, 21 Savage and David Byrne.

EXIT MUSIC: Dowry (Éna Brennan) - 'In É'
