📣 This week Chunk, Sharpy and substitute co-host Immy, we're joined by Headcloud to chat about the band's new chapter, the creative process behind their latest single, and what really goes into keeping an independent band alive.

The gang chat about lineup changes, rebuilding the band's identity, writing and recording new music, filming DIY music videos, life on tour, and why smaller venues still create the best live experiences. An honest chat about the realities of being a modern UK alternative band.

Then, as always, there was planet wars. Danny and Sam created their own perfect planets, that included everything from procrastination meeting partying to atomic wedgies, bob mortimer & shopping as a team!

🌍 The Utopia Project is a show involving 3 best friends on a mission to try and build a hypothetical utopian planet, free from all the mild annoyances and gripes of real life.

✈️ Come on a journey with them as they create their own dream planets and discover what their guest's perfect worlds would look like, on The Utopia Project!
