Read MoreHenry co-wrote this with Luke track during a trip we both took to Los Angeles back in the heady days of summer 2019, before the planet went to shit. I remember it clearly, as we all went out and put in a pretty impressive pub quiz performance afterwards. California Blue is another sad boy banger from Mr Sital-Singh.

Read MoreFriends Vs Radio 1
Radio was my first love. Honestly, I don’t think I’d be doing this if it wasn’t for Steve Lamacq’s Evening Sessions back in the heady days of the early 2000s.
Glad to say that radio continues to be good to me and our gang at Friends Vs Music, with three records on Radio 1’s playlist.
Read MoreJohn Joseph Brill Vs Owen Lewis Vs The End
It’s with a heavy heart (kinda, but not really. I know what’s happening next), that today we put out the final EP from Henry Brill’s John Joseph Brill project. Henry sent me the demos that made up this EP (cheerfully named Damn It All) before we were even working together, and it was listening to his scratchy home recordings driving round the Australian countryside that convinced me that we had to work together (and my wife asking me every time I put them on why the hell I wasn’t managing this guy).
