I Love This Band

Welcome to the first I Love This Band Artist Spotlight Special. Following Nealo's appearance in the History of Irish Hip Hop Documentary on Ireland's RTÉ channel, I discuss how the global popularity of the genre has translated itself on the island of Ireland.

I talk to Nealo about the differences and similarities between audiences of hip hop and punk rock, why Irish people love rap so much and what home means to us all. We had a nice casual chat and it was a great way to kick off a new episode format. Hope you enjoy. More coming soon.

Danny's back to talk with me about Rage Against The Machine. We delve into how politics, art and music can come together in a positive and powerful way. We talk about Tom Morello and Zach De La Rocha's backgrounds and how their histories led them down the path of revolution. We talk about what the band means to Danny, what he thinks of criticisms about them and of course, we talk about some bomb tracks.

In this episode, I'm chatting to Katie Ball of Just Mustard about none other than Elvis Presley. We discuss his early life in Tupelo and Memphis, how blues and gospel influenced his musical career — and the calculated transformation of a poor country boy into a pop culture icon. Katie discusses what Elvis means to her and how he's been there her whole life.

I recommend the book Elvis: A Lonely Life by Ray Connolly which helped me put together the story for this podcast.
