Tracks

This week we're joined by another fantastic guest in the shape of Dan Brooks. Not only is he a good mate of ours, but he's also without a shadow of a doubt the best guitarist we know. Featuring in no less than three bands currently, he's certainly well-versed in all things music, so we thought we'd dust off the 'old, new, borrowed, blue' format and discover some of the tracks he loves.

With shouts for the likes of Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan, Dan takes us through some of the most legendary names in music, whilst also introducing us to Whitney, a new band out of Chicago who we have grown to love since recording this episode.

So sit back, relax and enjoy what can only be described as some flagship content.

Yesterday at Tracks HQ, hearts audibly broke. On the morning of Monday 8th August, one of our all-time favourite bands The Maccabees called it a day and we immediately went into mourning. Rather than mope around the house, however, we decided to pull ourselves together and record a part tribute podcast, part group therapy session. This is the result.

We go through our history with the band, telling stories and sharing memories connected to each of their four incredible albums and playing the songs we love the most. There are requests from other bereaved listeners, and plenty of emotion that anybody who has ever truly loved a band will relate to.

So grab the tissues, put on your best Maccabees t-shirt and join us in saluting one of the most unique and important bands of their generation.

Here's to you Orlando, Hugo, Felix, Rupert and Sam. Thanks for everything.

We celebrate reaching our milestone 20th episode by going head-to-head. It's quiz time. It's Tim vs Harry. It's Tracks vs Tracks. It's war!

The format is simple: 10 questions each, all written by the other. Returning guest Ben Brooks of Buddha Blood is the quiz master, and the loser has to do a forfeit of Ben's choice. It's a fun and raucous way to kick off Tracks' 20s.

Away from the quiz, we also learn about our guest's current musical preferences, with strong music selections coming from the likes of Little Dragon, Nas and The Lemon Pipers. 

So grab your popcorn, download the show and enjoy as we get overly competitive.

As Drake would say, if you're reading this it's too late. We already love you for taking an interest in our podcast. The biggest of thank you's to every single one of you.

On the anniversary of The Jackson Five signing their first deal with Motown Records, we delve into the world of siblings who make music together: the pros, the cons and the amazing music that has been made by brothers and sisters over the years. 

In a super varied show, our featured artists range from The Ronettes and The Isley Brothers to The Cribs and The Maccabees. There are also honourable mentions for the likes of Justin and The Lights and The Verve in our musical highlights of the week.

So grab your nearest and dearest, download the show together and share a special, sibling moment with Tracks.

This week we preview one of our favourite nights of the year - Bolney Fest.

As you may or may not know, Bolney Fest is a huge DIY party held just outside Brighton by the members of Buddha Blood, and it never disappoints. This year's theme is the 90s, and as such we run through tracks from the decade that we'd be gutted not to hear on the night. Weezer, Blur, Suede and Randy Newman all make the cut.

So get your glow sticks out, your bucket hat on and enjoy this week's episode of Tracks.

In honour of Malala Day (12th July), we bring together some of the best and most powerful peace and protest music from the last 50 years.

The featured artists range from Billy Bragg and Bob Marley to Kendrick Lamar and The Flaming Lips, proving that music of every genre has the potential to inspire and be a positive force in the World.

So settle in and enjoy us doing our best to pay tribute to the artists who have made the World a better place, and most importantly to the incredible Malala Yousafzai.

There was so much to talk about after our Glastonbury adventure that we couldn't possibly fit it all into one show, so here we are, back for our first ever Wednesday episode, to finish the job.

Today is all about Saturday and Sunday, which featured incredible sets from the likes of Tame Impala, The Last Shadow Puppets and the love of Harry's life, Mac Demarco. 

So crack open a nice, cold tin of beans and sausages (we all know Harry will be), close your eyes and let us take you back to Worthy Farm.

Just one short week ago, we arrived home from the World's best music festival - Glastonbury - and the blues are only just beginning to lift. So, in attempt to cheer up those of us lucky enough to be there, and to make those who weren't insanely jealous, we're reliving our festival experience here in a special two parter!

Part 1 is all about our Wednesday - Friday, and contains many a tale of laughter and woe, as well as a load of music recommendations from our favourite acts across the three days, of course.

So crack open a nice, cold tin of beans and sausages (we all know Harry will be), close your eyes and let us take you back to Worthy Farm.

Our deepest apologies but there will be no episode this week as we are still recovering from an amazing week at Glastonbury! We will be back at the usual time next week to tell you about it. See you then.
