In episode #146 of The XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar meets Alex Lowe from Hurricane #1 to discuss their latest album 'Backstage Waiting To Go On.' With 2 top 20 albums and 7 top 40 UK hit singles under their belt and over 1 million albums sold - Hurricane #1 is a force to be reckoned with.

Backstage Waiting To Go On is one of those albums you only have to play once, and you will probably remember every track with great fondness. It could be the last of the great Rock'n'roll albums.... or maybe, should I say, one of the last. Its upbeat attitude with catchy, overwhelming choruses can be enjoyed in any situation. With so many influences in one album, from the Beatles to the Stones to The Stooges, this album could be part of the bygone days when real people played music. It's a pure and simple Rock'n'roll album.

In this interview, frontman Alex Lowe discusses their new album Backstage Waiting To Go On, his battle with Cancer, and more.
