This week Jay and Tony sit down with long time friend of the pod - Ali Rose. Ali takes us through the years in which she helped us write some bangers (yes, that's right - Ali had a big hand in writing some of your favourite BrassKat tunes) and how she took that knowledge out into the wide world - spending time in artist management before returning to her natural habitat; top line writing for the stars and laying down her own tracks. Writing on International Best Selling Albums in 2015 and with new releases due early 2016 - watch this space. For tracks, social media links and much more check out Ali on: www.AliRoseMusic.com

This week Jay and Tony are joined by Brendan B. Brown from everyone's favourite Teenage Dirtbags - Wheatus. This was the first ever Skype interview, so forgive the occasion sound issues and due to the time difference it was very early for Brendan and very late for Jay and Tony. Recorded back in 2015 join us as we embark on a journey of discovery with a band that released one of the most iconic songs of a generation. Brendan is one of the most hard working musicians the H2WAT boys have come across so sit down and enjoy.
