This week, Keira sits down with rising UK indie band Chest ahead of their new EP never really here (out February 27th).

The band unpack the real-world moments that inspired their latest single, from the LA wildfires to the aftermath of the Trump assassination attempt in 2024, and why they pair high-energy, almost euphoric instrumentals with lyrics rooted in unease.

We talk Radio 1 & 6 Music support, festival stages like Latitude and Wild Paths, headline shows in London and Norwich, and whether something is building again in UK indie right now.

A conversation about chaos, culture, and a band on the rise.
