Having successfully evaded any type of life changing success in music, I’ve always been intrigued by those who achieve in music.

So when I had the opportunity to chat with Evan Sult, one of the guys who wrote and recorded Flagpole Sitta, the theme song for Peep Show, I jumped at the chance. I don’t want to go on about it too much, as he’s working on a new project called The Open Flames, the subject of this episode, but I wanted to ask him one question about musical success. You’ll have to listen to the episode to find out what it was.

The Open Flames are a psychedelic, raw, punky, indie rock band. They recorded their excellent album - Same Time Next Year - bi-annually in London. It’s such a brilliant album, and I wanted to learn as much as I could about their writing and recording process. The album was released on Subjangle in early 2025 and they’re already working on a follow up.The Open Flames are 4 veteran musicians - Dave Eastman, Evan Sult, Paige Brubeck and Len Bendel. Their musical background involves bands such as Sleepy Kitty, Harvey Danger and Say Yes, Do Nothing.Download, listen to the podcast and find out how they went about making their brilliant album - Same Time Next Year.
