Tracks

Flames to dust. Lovers to friends. Why do all good things come to an end? We don't know the answer to that question listeners but, in the case of The Great Escape Festival 2018, we're at least going to make sure it finishes with a bang.

Today is our final episode of an amazing run, and we're lucky enough to be joined on the show by the simply brilliant Skinny Pelembe. He blew our socks off when we saw him for the first time here at TGE, and it turns out he's a bloody lovely guy too. Be sure to tune in to the chat and check out his ridiculously good tunes too.

As is now tradition, we end the show with our Great Escape edition of The Tracks Awards, and we invited two friendly faces along to help us out. Lizzie Garrett and Emily Hogarth have graced the podcast before, and have been along with us for the ride over this weekend. With their assistance, we're handing out 4 'Best Of...' prizes.

All that's left for us to say is a huge thank you to everyone who has listened over the last few days. To all of our guests. To all of our pals who we've hung out with along the way. And, most importantly, to everyone at The Great Escape and Borowski PR for making this all possible. It has been a dream. Until next year, Tim & Harry x

Three is, famously, the magic number, so we return this morning for the third episode of our run at this year's Great Escape Festival more determined than ever to sprinkle a little fairy dust into your ears. To help us do that, we invited two (yes, two!) amazing guests on to the show.

First up, Her's. The spectacular dream-pop two-piece that have stolen the hearts of everyone who attended last night's Horatio's gig, and we were so delighted that they were able to find a little time in a jam-packed schedule to stop by and say hello.

Next, it's Michael Jablonka. A name you'll definitely want to remember. His new single 'Flump' has been on almost constant rotation at Tracks HQ since it dropped a few weeks ago, and his chat is almost as good as his tunes.

A big, massive thanks to both guests for giving up their precious time and this wonderful festival, and to you guys at home for listening. Big up, and we'll see you tomorrow. Tim & Harry x

The sun's out. The drinks are flowing. Brighton's on top form and we're back for the second episode in our 4-day run at this year's Great Escape Festival.

First up are our tales from the front line. Thursday was a near-perfect day here on England's south coast, and boy oh boy do we have a story to two to share with you all.

Then, a truly magical moment for us here at Tracks. Last year's recipient of our Song Of The Year award, Nilüfer Yanya, was kind enough to stop by our little Brighton pad for a quick chat mere moments after arriving at TGE, and we couldn't be more grateful that she did. An absolute pleasure, and one we'll remember for quite some time.

Then, it's Friday's big recommendations. It looks set to be another HUGE day of music for all of our fellow festival goers, and we're here to make sure you don't miss any of the brightest talents on offer.

Thanks again for being here, and we'll chat in the morning. Tim & Harry x

It's Thursday, and our favourite day of the year is *finally* here. The Great Escape Festival has hit the streets of Brighton once more, and we're back for another year to soak up every bit of goodness on offer.

In today's episode, we're reminiscing about TGE's gone by before getting ourselves geared up for a huge, huge, huge opening day of action. The likes of Yellow Days, Superorganism, Idles and Puma Blue are gracing today's show as well as the festival itself, and you won't want to miss a moment of either.

Enjoy, and we'll see you tomorrow! Tim & Harry x

This week we're getting all Orwellian, taking inspiration from the masterpiece that is 1984 and heading to room 101 - a place containing each person’s ultimate breaking point, worst nightmare, fear or phobia. That sounds fun, doesn't it?

Fear not, we're not getting all dark on you just yet. Instead, we're guiding you through the little pet peeves that make us the odd little men we truly are, picking songs that represent them and then condemning them to eternity in room 101 (or the bin, as we prefer to say).

Many, many, many laughs were had while recording this one and, hopefully, you'll all share in them too. Maybe you won't. Either way, it was either this or dalmatians for #101, so you've got off lightly. Until next week, Tim & Harry x

Well, we made it folks. One hundred episodes. The century. The big ton. We're here, and damn it feels good.

When reaching such a milestone, it's natural to look back and reflect on what has been a quite amazing journey. We've done some brilliant things and met the best people since we started this podcast but, really, one guest stands out to us above all others.

Dunedin's very own Kane Strang is a bonafide musical hero for both of us, with each of his two albums ranking amongst our all-time favourites, and welcoming him on to the show at last year's Great Escape Festival was a thrill like no other.

Ever since then we've wanted to get Kane back on the show for a full episode in our classic 'old, new, borrowed, blue' format, and when we asked if he'd mind giving up his Monday morning to do exactly that he was only too happy to oblige. He's nice like that.

So thank you to Kane for joining us on what we think is a perfect hundredth episode. Thank you to you, our listeners. Thank you to our friends and family. Thank you to everyone who has helped out or supported us along the way. Here's to the next hundred. Tim & Harry x

There are many ways in which we're similar to Jay-Z. Too many to list, really. But the main one is that we've got problems. Shedloads of the things, in fact, and this week we're talking about a few of them.

Now we realise that could sound depressing but fear not. We're no Debbie Downers. This is an episode full to the brim with laughs as we delve into everything from ghosting to the unholy reality that is Harry's underwear drawer. Hold on to your sides, because we accept no responsibility for them splitting.

Worried there might not be enough tunes? Fear not. Six problems come with six songs, meaning that your weekly dose of stonecold bangers is very much here as always.

Big thanks for tuning in once again. We ♥️ you all, and we can't wait to see you next week for a HUGE celebration. Until then, Tim & Harry x

It's the biggest day of the year for music fans and people who love queueing outside their favourite vinyl outlet, and we're back for a third time to preview all of the fun. Yes, Record Store Day 2018 is here!

A massive thank you for making us part of your Record Store Day. We don't deserve you. You do deserve us. Until next week, Tim & Harry x
