The sun is shining. Gigs are back. Dave Hanratty and Craig Fitzpatrick, meanwhile, are confined to their respective indoor cages in order to deliver some piping hot audio for your listening pleasure.

This week; the boys celebrate the commencement of EURO 2020 with a fitting Top 5 that barely has anything to do with football, Wolf Alice hit new heights and a quiet news week still serves up some notable stories.
