It's the Apollo Audio Podcast, and this week Billy throws a curveball and recommends Everything You Want, the major label debut album from US band Vertical Horizon. Billy bought Everything You Want off the back of hearing one song on the soundtrack to Bruce Almighty and it remains one of his favourites. Will Martin be equally smitten?

We also chat about festival lineups and the big difference between Reading and Glastonbury

It's the Apollo Audio Podcast, and this week we chat the pointlessness of the awards season, the pointless revisions made to the Rolling Stone 500 albums list and the pointed artistic and musical statement that is To Pimp a Butterfly by Kendrick Lemarr. We've mentioned him in nearly every episode so about time we actually talk about the music.

It's the Apollo Audio Podcast, and this week our attempt to understand the pressures of content creation and social media "marketing" that is making it ever harder to understand what role(s) you have to play when you are a working artist.

Martin and Billy are joined in the studio by Sam J Roper, photographer and videographer to try and suggest how you can approach this ever more complex subject.

This week we discuss the Superbowl and Oasis B-sides but mainly focus on Welsh rockers Stereophonics, and in particular their second studio album "Performance and Cocktails". Is it good enough to make our list of recommended albums, did they lose the plot after 110 years, and why do cover bands seem to only feature one of their songs?

This week we take a completely non geeky or intellectual approach to building the ultimate rock band. Would they be great or just a cacophony of noise? Maybe one day AI will help us decide. Until then, joint the debate and let us know who you think would make it in to the ultimate supergroup.

In this episode hosts Martin Lumsden and Billy Hills, along with special guest Joe Casasola, discuss their favorite drummers, bass players, and guitarists, exploring the unique contributions of each musician to their respective bands. We chat about the unique styles of various musicians, the importance of tone and technique, and how collaboration can elevate a band's sound.
