And. We’re. Back! 

Sober and as on the ball as you can expect. Gav and James tackle Damnation’s biggest ever announcement and a surprise promise, if People Power pulls through, before getting caught back up on all the drama from the past three weeks.

James is still on the beach and Gav is emotionally on holiday still so it’s Shifty again. Are you ready for this one? 

From early (surprising) jobs, to first records, this one goes to places 2P1P has never been before…but don’t worry there’s still plenty of festival and music chat. 

Listener questions, J.D. & rum, whats not to love?

The boys are away so you’re stuck with me (Shifty). This week is a Q&A beer soaked bonanza. 
 
 Book recommendations, holiday tips, balancing friendship and business plus is it OK for James to move bands around so he can watch them?!

This ones the warm up to next weeks riot…

Oceansize to Empire State Bastard, Biffy Clyro to Cardiacs, there’s one talent who connects them all: Mr Mike Vennart.

But what’s it like being Mr Dependable, going from the top slot at Reading Festival to Glasgow’s Cathouse? Being recruited by your favourite band, filling in for James on a week’s notice and taking Dave Lombardo to Aldi. 

The man has seen and done it all.

We go again, every Thursday morning.

This is not a drill! The mighty Neurosis are back and promoters across the globe are excited, but who will nab them first in the UK? 

There’s also the sad news of Ginger Wildheart’s diagnosis to digest along with his demand to live the rest of his life to the full.

And Gav recounts his trip to the first Ripcord Festival in Glasgow for a day of post metal riffs and far too many pints.

Being a tour manager at any level is an incredibly challenging role, but when the band schedule you’re responsible for includes headline sets at the likes of Leeds, Reading and Download, it takes a special kind of composure and professionalism to pull it off.

So the fact that this week’s guest, Neil Anderson, has literally kept the Biffy Clyro show on the road for the best part of two decades is something to be celebrated.

This is his “wholesome” tale, told for the first time.

We go again, every Thursday morning.

The final (or so you think…) Trees bands are here and it’s time to show the neglected big cousin of the festivals show much needed love. 

The arena fillers, the older legends and up-and-coming picks not to be missed from the bill. 

Also, what’s the deal with that Primus tour, weren’t they an ATG exclusive?

And did Core festival in Glasgow tell Gav they were moving to the weekend after Damnation and either way, why the hell is he so supportive?

Man of many talents, Kevin Douch, joins the pod to discuss setting up and running the Big Scary Monsters record label over the past 25 years, band management and organising the madness of ArcTanGent and Trees’ merch tents.

But first, what’s in the box?

It’s another pod exclusive ATG band drop, this time in the shape of the final 16 acts with some absolute belters and a few surprises in store. 

Gav and James also chat the latest HRH mishap and the strength of this year’s Download line-up before sinking their teeth into their favour subject: Take That.
