“Jack! This is where we first met”- We all likely know this legendary line uttered by Rose in Titanic. Well, in this episode of ANCHRS Away, hosts Amnesty Coldwell and Rachel Zyzda picked a song by Catfish and The Bottlemen named after the airport that they first met in London 2012. The pair talk about their experiences leaving home and moving to a foreign country for an entire year, and how Amnesty has now made that country her permanent home. They share the music and moments that got them through the homesick periods, and the songs that soundtracked some of their treks outside of London. Rachel also happens to have the lyric “Heathrow” tattooed on her, so she and Amnesty even dive into the musical connection to some of their ink. As always, we wrap up with our weekly Wreck-ommendation.

This will come as a complete surprise if you know one of Amnesty and Rachel’s favourite bands (Rachel's FAVOURITE band, EVER), but this week’s episode of ANCHR’s Away centres around the sensational “Pompeii'' by Bastille. (That was NOT sarcasm). In this episode, we use the track to reminisce about our first trip to Italy in our early 20s. Naturally, the trip also taught them plenty of valuable lessons they passed on alongside their travel stories. As always, we wrap up with our weekly Wreck-ommendations.

Note from Amnesty and Rachel of the future: Heads up, we originally planned to release “Pompeii” a few weeks later, but we’ve bumped up the release to coincide with the 10 year anniversary of the song. Hang tight for the future episodes mentioned in this episode- they’ll be coming soon!

For our second episode of ANCHRS Away, we talk about the ever-evolving music business and the technology associated with it. We all know that video may have killed the radio star, but will streaming gigs ever kill the popularity of in-person shows?

We also discuss new ways that artists are able to connect to fans thanks to new social media and channels of communication. As always, we wrap up with our weekly Wreck-ommendation.
