History is full of earth-shattering moments—Martin Luther kicking off the Reformation, JFK’s assassination, the moon landing, the invention of the internet… and, of course, the night Colchester lost electricity at the end of 2024. A true turning point for humanity, right up there with the fall of Rome and the invention of the toaster.

Luckily, Justin and Peter were on the scene to report on the night’s proceedings in this latest episode. Kick back and listen as they break down what went down when thisissophies, Jackson Rivers, Armoured Man, and Punching hit the Queen Street Brewhouse.

Featuring an interview with Punching and music from Punching & Blenko.

Let's not hem and haw, beat around the bush, go round the houses, prevaricate, pussyfoot or ramble. Let's cut to the chase, get to it, get on with it and get the point... where were we?

Peter points his Mic at classic rock rockers Superheads and Justin zooms with Gus from And I Meet You in Churches. Less waffle than usual... we got told off for it...

Music from Superheads & And I meet You In Churches

Legend has it that the collapse of civilization, global unrest, and even that suspiciously burnt toast you had this morning all trace back to a singular catastrophic event—the end of Season 3 of the Litter & Kings & Friends podcast. For months, the masses have wandered aimlessly, bereft of purpose, wracked with existential dread, clutching their phones in disbelief, whispering, “Will Peter and Justin ever return?”

Well, fear not, brave listeners! The heroes of your earbuds are BACK—like confused phoenixes rising from the ashes of silence, here to rescue your playlists, restore balance to the cosmos, and deliver a sonic revival that will lift your spirits so high, they’ll need a passport!

Kicking off the highly anticipated new season, they dive straight into a review of the epic LOKAF live event, held on September 7, 2024, at The Queen Street Brewery. It was an all-day extravaganza of local talent, good vibes, and craft brews. All in aid of Musicians Supporting the Homeless.

This episode is packed with interviews and music from Simon Craze, Annie Maguire, Chris Wilkinson, and Woody Pearce (& The Acoloytes).

So take a deep breath, hit play, and relax—Litter & Kings & Friends is back, and it’s bigger and better than ever!

Get ready for a thrilling Season 3 finale that stretches beyond Colchester and dives deep into the wider music scene! Justin and Peter are back, venturing out to uncover the stories that shape the vibrant world of original music in their part of East Anglia.

Peter sits down with Seymour Quigley, the voice of the Bury St. Edmunds' music scene, to unravel the secrets behind Horse Party and the music scene they emerged from. Meanwhile, Justin catches up with Danny Hiles, the visionary behind Musicians Supporting the Homeless, as they explore the inspiring origins and impactful work of this incredible initiative.

And, of course, expect the usual dose of offbeat humor—from courgettes to whistling—because what’s a finale without a bit of fun?

All this, plus electrifying tracks from Lost Movies & Shed. Don’t miss it!

Peter and Justin review the last LOKAF live event, capturing sound bites with fervor. It's a mix that's as perplexing as a hushed up potato, a tad more articulate than a pair of mumbling mushrooms, and more misguided than an inappropriately placed avocado.

This episode includes interviews with Jake Cheek, Jess Davey, Leon Helsby, and new band Grace Marie.

Enjoy music from Jess Davey and Leon Helsby.

Until next time, Litteratti!

Peter and Justin are shaking things up! They've ditched the local/wider scene theme because those stubborn bands refuse to stick to one geographical region. But the excitement doesn't stop there! Justin dives deep with Lost Atlas at Black Cactus, while Peter scores an exclusive interview with the amazing Bethany Sin at The Brewhouse (even though he insists he's outside 3 Wise Monkeys). And just when you think it can't get any better, we've got a mind-bending backwards intro quiz to test your music knowledge!

Tune in for killer tracks from Lost Atlas and Bethany Sin. This is one episode you won't want to miss!

Plus Peter explains why he hates broccoli and the anguish of nasal hair plucking.

Music from Armoured Man & Fret Bear

Peter and Justin push hard on garnering audio nibbles from the local music scene. More confusing than a wallabee's walkabout, slightly more eloquent than a brace of mumbling morons and more enthusiastic than a porridge eating bear.

Contains interviews with Rob Prince, Robin Torbit, Grace Wells and Elephants Jane. Plus music from all of the aforementioned.

Until next time Elephanti!

Peter & Justin explore the wider scene.

Justin talks to Joe Bailey, a mover & shaker on the Ipswich scene. Peter talks to the world's greatest songwriter Ben Brown.

There's little room for Justin & Peter's nonsense in this episode, the interviews were just so good that the waffle was canned.

No dickies were harmed in the making of this episode

Peter takes on a fully grown silverback when he interviews Charlie Rogers from new/old band The Audacity formed from the remnants of Colchester much beloved Karilla.

Watch out for the rude joke of the month at the end, it's positively filthy and not to be repeated in polite company.

Whether you're a Lesley Anne Matt or a not Lesley Anne Matt, tune in, sit back and bask in the nonsense.

Music from Combat Sports & Karilla.
