Today on the podcast I am joined by Michael Smyth for his third appearance on this podcast and his second appearance with his new band, the Belfast shoegazers, Silk!

Myself and Michael had quite a lot to cover in this particular episode.

We'll first be talking about his previous band, Virgins, and why that band has disbanded, how they ended the band, their final show and how that process lead into the music he works on now with Silk!

We'll then be covering Silk's upcoming release, a mini album titled 'Auralux', which is set for release in May. The mini-record has one single out at the moment, a visceral and cinematic tune that sets the stage for what fans can expect when the full release is out. We'll be going through the whole release, from inception, to recording, to the inspiration to Jim Carrey.

I have heard the mini-album and there is a serious heft and raucousness to the release, it's going to blow people away when they get to hear it.

On top of all this the band, will have an extensive touring schedule over the year so make sure to grab tickets when you get the chance!
