The Faultline Social Podcast

It's the 40th episode of the Faultline Social Podcast and there's no real agenda to speak of. Join is for a mini celebration on our 40th birthday as we mix our drinks and talk about a wide range of topics, with hopefully some focus on music that might be interesting. Cheers for listening everyone.

Today on the podcast we talk to Cat Speranza about her latest band project CAT SFX; a modern take on grunge and industrial music that Cat herself grew up listening to. We talk about her musical beginnings, her career as a songwriter and lyricist for others and how she eventually came to be signed to Alan McGee's record label.

Rob talks to Brandon Ossont, drummer for emo rock band from Scranton PA, 'The Maguas'. The band has been steadily growing and doing a fantastic job of making their mark on the world during exceptionally difficult times with the lockdown affecting live music massively.

Brandon shares with us a lot of his ideas for marketing the band, the group's writing process. They put out their EP 'One of us is Lying' recently and are also working with producer Nik Bruzzese on some upcoming music.

Canadian drummer Mike Peters of hardcore giants 'Cancer Bats' joins Rob today on the Faultline Social Podcast. They talk of course about how the band formed, Mike's initial foray into music and his influences. Check out their latest record 'The Spark That Moves' and lockdown inspired recordings the 'Separation Sessions'

This week Rob's been eating lots of baguette and pate, taking a short break only to talk to James and Theo about the death of the band; is it real, or are we just being hysterical as usual?

Today's guest is Christopher Mansfield, best known for his rock band Fences; we talk about the reissue of the 2019 release Failure Sculptures which has a couple of extra acoustic tracks. He has a new EP scheduled for release in April, and as usual we delve into the past to talk about his early musical life and his musical journey.

James talks to Sam Lambeth, guitarist and songwriter from the Midlands. They talk his early years, his work with bands across the local scene and his eventual transition to a solo artist. He talks about his experiences with the scene in general and also about his new EP that is coming out soon.

James sits down to talk to Mike Miley, all the way from Nashville where the Rival Sons are currently finishing up their latest studio album. They talk about the new record, their new self managed label 'Sacred Tongue' and Mike's reflections on his journey in music so far.

Perry (Cauldron) talks to math rock drummer Chris Collis, of Oxford band TTNG; they talk about their formation, the songwriting and Chris' favourite records they've produced and released so far.

Dan Lambton, frontman for Rationale and formerly Real Friends joins Rob today on the Faultline Social Podcast. They chat pop punk, covid, touring and everything in between.
