The Rapture are one of my favourite bands. They were the sound of the noughties; with their punk-funk party out of New York City, they’d define a scene and fill every dancefloor on Indie night at the local pub.

Every now and then, I like to dip into the Take 5 archives and share a conversation from the past because, while this podcast has been around for almost three years, the Take 5 has been going for more than fourteen.

I’ll be honest, some of these early conversations are a bit rough. You’ll hear a bit of room sound in this Take 5, you’ll notice some nerves in my voice too (like I said, I’m a fan) but one of the strangest things about this Take 5 is that Luke, Vito and Gabe from The Rapture picked the songs but only Luke and Vito turned up to the chat. Don’t worry, we call Gabe at the beach, halfway through.

From heartfelt moments to all out parties, this is a wild ride with some lovely lads.
