The Monday Smile Join Indie Tea Talk! DIY Music, NOTHING & Life Outside The Scene

Welcome to another captivating episode of the Indie Tea Talk Podcast! This time, we're thrilled to host The Monday Smile, a band built on independence, honesty, and doing things entirely on their own terms.

What’s Inside This Episode?

🎤 Dive into how The Monday Smile formed and built their sound outside of scenes and trends.

🎶 Explore the process behind writing, recording, and releasing their debut album NOTHING.

🌟 Discover the realities of DIY music, self-funding, and navigating the modern music industry.

🎸 Hear stories from the road, festival appearances, and building a genuine connection with fans.

🎧 This episode is packed with honest conversation, real experience, and live music.

The Monday Smile have spent the last two years creating music driven purely by passion and instinct. With no label backing and everything handled independently, they’ve written, recorded, mixed, and released their debut album NOTHING, played festivals including Victorious, and already have a second album recorded and on the way.

At the heart of the band is a belief that everything should be in service to the music — even if that means existing outside of trends or expectations.

TAHM Join Indie Tea Talk! 90s Comeback, BBC Introducing & New Music

Welcome to another captivating episode of the Indie Tea Talk Podcast! This time, we're thrilled to host TAHM, a band whose story stretches across decades and proves that great music doesn’t come with an expiry date.

What’s Inside This Episode?

🎤 Dive into TAHM’s beginnings in the 90s and their journey signing to Roadrunner Records.

🎶 Explore their experiences working with top producers and having music featured across film, TV, and radio.

🌟 Discover what led to the band stepping away and what sparked their return 25 years later.

🎸 Hear the story behind their comeback releases, including 17 Years and their BBC Introducing support.

🎧 This episode is packed with honest reflections, lived experience, and powerful live performances.

TAHM first formed in the 90s, building early momentum with major label backing and widespread exposure across media. After years away, a chance reconnection brought the band back together, not to relive the past, but to create something new on their own terms.

Since returning, they’ve gained fresh support from BBC Introducing, achieved chart success, and reached new audiences through international radio play. Their current sound carries the same storytelling roots but leans into something more reflective, nostalgic, and lived in.
