Welcome to the very first episode of Lift The Curtain, the podcast where we talk to people in the creative industry, in its widest spectrum. 

 

In this episode, Ben catches up with James Cox, frontman of London punk band Crows, and studio manager at newly launched Hackney Wick tattoo studio "Only Here For You".

 

In this light hearted conversation, he talks to us from his shop "Only Here For You" in East London about what he’s been up to over the lockdown months, the challenges he faced both with the band and taking the reigns of his new project with the tattoo studio, meeting The Maccabees and Foals, launching a clothing line, as well as giving great advice to people that would want to start a band. All of the insight!
