It’s a new year but there’s no time for hugs and handshakes. Let’s get back to business.

Why don’t Gav and James throw bands who are having a tough time on tour a few extra quid? Is Spotify really the devil of the music industry? And how the hell did Karnivool end up on Brutal Assault if they were booked as a Euro exclusive for ATG?

After those pleasantries are exchanged there’s the small matter of tackling 2025; the live tour, Trees, ATG and Damnation’s 20th birthday bash.

James also gets excited about new albums this year promises while Gav sets a new high standard for On The Record. 

Enjoy, engage and let’s go again! 

We go again, every Thursday morning.
