May 31, 2019 167: #167: Are You Still At The Music?
Over the last few months on NO ENCORE we’ve interviewed many Irish artists at different stages of their careers. One point that continues to come up (either on or off the mic) is how hard it is to make a living writing music.
It got me thinking about a question; Who actually is writing music full time anymore? There’s the obvious ones, the really successful acts that are at a very high level. and the music producer helping loads of upcoming acts develop. Then of course there’s the guys writing music for Film and TV. Hans Zimmer, John Williams, Ennio Morricone, all of those guys.
Finally, there’s a whole range of other music writers working in Industries that we don’t really think about. We certainly don’t give them a lot of coverage. So today, we’re going to be talking to 3 Irish people, working full time writing music.
You’ve heard their music, but you’ve probably never really thought about who made it.

May 24, 2019 166: #166 | Drogon For President
NO ENCORE's last stop before the team decamp to Norway for marital bliss welcomes returning guest George Morahan to the table. Game of Thrones' series finale, Moby's terrible prose, Hayden Thorpe's debut album and a great deal more are on the agenda, and that's all you're getting show notes wise this week as we've all been struck down by various maladies. Enjoy...

May 17, 2019 165: #165 | Ou Est Le Snake Pit?
Dave returns from a fateful and frenzied trip to Paris to report on Metallica live, airline trauma, personal injury, and chance encounters.
Elsewhere, the boys sink into the new album from The National, run the rule over an increasingly erratic Game of Thrones narrative, and consider the merit of superstar pop team-ups.

May 16, 2019 NO POPCORN #005 | Queen Of The Damned
Yep, it's Nu Metal Vampire Music Video: The Movie.
Dave Hanratty and David Higgins pivot the NO ENCORE music axis to the movies once more as they tackled 2002's bizarre Queen of the Damned.
Was Stuart Townsend really the best choice to replace Tom Cruise? Why do most of the characters not get a proper introduction? Did you expect Lestat to sound like Jonathan Davis when he sings? And is that Disturbed on support?

May 10, 2019 164: #164 | Capital Punishment
NO ENCORE is back, as is host Dave Hanratty.
The boys are reunited in time to discuss the Met Gala, Game of Thrones, last week's Murder Capital smackdown, the new Big Thief album, and why Daithí isn't going to Colm's wedding.
ACT ONE: A busy preamble takes in most of the above and more.
ACT TWO: Met Gala fallout, Wu Tang honoured, Tool toy with our emotions, and some reminiscing on a bizarre music video from about five years ago.
ACT THREE: Songs of the Week featuring Denzel Curry, MorMor, and Blink-182.
ACT FOUR: The whole world seems to be in love with neo-folksters Big Thief and their new album U.F.O.F. but are the NO ENCORE lads so easily won over?

May 03, 2019 163: #163 | Heaven Is A Herp Alert
The year is 2019 AD and Earth’s population has been decimated to the point where there’s no one left to assume NE hosting duties bar Craig Fitzpatrick. We’d say may God have mercy on our souls if it wasn’t already clear he had completely forsaken us. But wait, who’s that in the distance?
Yes, it’s Captain Fiddle himself ready to save the day! With Daithí back onboard, we’ve another two-man power trip through what was a jam-packed week in the world of music.
But first: Daithí reminisces about how he could have been Ireland’s answer to Tony Hawk, Craig talks about stumbling into a very quiet, very serious gig at just the wrong time, and the boys can’t contain themselves: yes, there is Game Of Thrones chat, but it’s sequestered in its own section bookended by cats singing the theme tune so you can easily skip.
ACT ONE
CHVRCHES under threat from a loathsome bunch of fans, Kevin Abstract on a treadmill for 10 hours and Coachella blamed for a massive herpes outbreak, Oh, and Jaden Smith’s set to play an alternate reality version of Kanye West. It’s the news.
ACT TWO
Fear not, we have your Dave Hanratty fix. Our man sat down with The Murder Capital and drew on all his reserves of journalistic patience and nous to wring something interesting from it. Fascinating listening.
ACT THREE
In Songs Of The Week, Taylor Swift enlists Panic! At The Disco’s Brendon Urie as part of her reDisneyfication. And plunges us into a deep existential funk. Can the return of Stormzy and Japanese Breakfast lift our spirits?
ACT FOUR
The immensely talented Aldous Harding got us super hyped for her third LP with the release of lead single ‘The Barrel’ earlier this year. Does Designer live up to our expectations?

April 26, 2019 162: #162 | SOAK Up The Sun
NO ENCORE is back on a two-man vibe with another packed deep dive into the realm of all things music.
There's a chat with SOAK as she releases new album Grim Town, thoughts on Kanye's Sunday Service, Dave versus the national broadcaster, and the hotly-anticipated comeback from Vampire Weekend...
ACT ONE: Dave talks Avengers: Endgame, gets into a social media ruck, and generally defends the honour of critics. Again.
ACT TWO: The boys mull over the news happenings, from David Byrne's job offer to what bands should be avoided for security purposes.
ACT THREE: SOAK is back with Grim Town, her excellent sophomore effort. She sits down with Dave to discuss what went into the album's construction, mental health, problematic lyrics, and why her career is something of a happy accident.
ACT FOUR: Songs of the Week with FKA twigs, Better Oblivion Community Center, and an all-star team-up in honour of Game of Thrones.
ACT FIVE: There's a week to go before Vampire Weekend release Father of the Bride, their first album in six years. But dammit, Dave and Craig can wait no longer...
