Down With Boring

They’ve just come off a UK tour that saw them live streaming to more people on the Dork Instagram than could fit in the venue they were playing (and London’s KOKO is no tiny circuit venue, ‘FYI’). With their new album ‘Midnight Butterflies’ imminent, Dork indie faves Sea Girls are back in to Down With Boring this week.

Plus! We’ll be talking the new album from current cover star Lizzy McAlpine, checking out new music from Glass Animals, Charli XCX, Baby Queen and Lorde, and meeting brilliant new bands Soft Launch, The Itch and Good Neighbours.

This week, we’re ‘live’ from Brighton’s Prince Albert with Panic Shack and Plantoid for Son Estrella Galacia’s mini-fest of live music, beer culture, gastronomy, and a commitment to “positive environmental impact”. Oooo, etc.

Down With Boring is embracing chaos this week, as we’re joined by special guests, Courting.

English Teacher are on the road to a debut album that’s more than worth the wait. Taking a break from roaming around Bruges to call in from separate hotel rooms, elsewhere on this week’s show we’ll be chatting through new music from IDLES, Crawlers, Lime Garden, Alfie Templeman, Thomas Headon and Talk Show.

On this week's DWB, we're going deep on the album of the moment, The Last Dinner Party's debut full-length 'Prelude to Ecstasy'. Plus, new music from Paramore, Pixey and more.
