From NO ENCORE to Numb / Encore.

This week we're moving into the world of Linkin Park as Irish Independent multimedia reporter Darragh Nolan graces the guest mic for the first time to take Dave Hanratty and Sonic Architect Adam Shanahan into his favourite five selections from his favourite act.

Elsewhere in the world of NO ENCORE, you'll find a new bonus episode of Film Club live now on our Patreon where Dave and Andy McCarroll analyse, discuss and dissect the alleged classic that is 1992's The Bodyguard featuring Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston.

Next Monday Album Club returns where Adam will be discussing Discovery by Daft Punk – click here to get amongst all of that weekly bonus goodness as well as early, ad-free access and weekly show previews for as little as €5 per month.

As for this week's show...
