In this episode we tackle the famous Ship Of Theseus thought experiment and give it a Super Sonic twist.
For centuries philosophers have debated whether a ship that has all its parts replaced over time is still the same ship.
Given a music twist, we ask if a band replaces all its members over time, is it still the same band?
At the heart of the matter is the question 'what is a band'? What defines it? Songs? Sounds? Members? Contracts?
We chat about bands that survived the departure of lead singers, some that did not and others that found a new way round the issue. We even chat about a famous band that still plays and tours yet has no original members and the current members are from a completely different country than where the band formed and first found fame.
