Matthew Reynolds is a singer and guitarist from Southampton who rose to prominence through
his band Howard’s Alias, who were an integral part of the UK punk scene of the 00s, touring
relentlessly and releasing four LPs.
In this episode, Chas and Matt discuss how to deal with ‘knowledgable’ fans, regrettable touring
incidents, the diagnosis of neurological conditions, how those conditions manifested undiagnosed
on the road, relationships with other bands on the scene and growing up on a council estate as
well as lyrics, school days, class, families, friendships and much else besides. A lot of ground was
covered.

I chat to Lou about all things punk, the new The Social Club album, dogs drinking his pints on stage, taking down the system from the inside as a drama teacher and the possibility of a Captain Everything split.

In this episode I speak to Pete Fraser.  Pete was the sax player in Jesse James and went on to play with many brilliant bands and musicians. 

Pete gives us his unique view on the UK punk scene in the 90s/2000’s from the point of view of a session player who stumbled upon the scene. 

At the time of the interview Pete was due to join the pogues with the rest of the old Jesse James brass section who are now a mainstay in the group to celebrate their music and to remember Shane. 

I really enjoyed chatting to Pete about so many things as he’s incredibly inspiring to be around. 

Thanks

Chas
