This week we’re joined by Boots – guitar tech for Bad Omens and Neck Deep, recently covering work for the Sex Pistols, and a former tour manager/driver who’s kept more shows on the road than he can count. We get into the reality of life behind the curtain, fixing guitars in impossible situations, the chaos of touring, and (for some reason) a lot of talk about pizza.

On top of that we’ve got three brilliant submissions:

• Palejoy – shoegaze-tinged emo from Aberdeen with atmosphere and grit

• Breather – soaring alt-rock out of Plymouth with polish and heart

• IndustryPlant – Southampton’s high-energy modern punk with sharp hooks and bite

All submitted. All free. All fire.
