Another episode with Chris, Madame Claude delight us again, this time with this amazing Punjabi – Ska cross over track Ladies and Gentlemen. I played them in episode 2 so all their details can be found there.Next up is Grete with an absolute banger of a tune Different. One of my faves of the year I think. I played her other track in episode 3, but I couldn’t wait to play you this tune. All the way from Sacramento Archers came charging in 3rd with their rock/metal killer track Never Enough. “Never Enough is a story too many of us are familiar with – the chemistry between two people who aren’t good for each other. These relationships are addictive by nature, and oftentimes toxic, resulting in conflict both internal and external. Never Enough addresses the uncomfortable side of this kind of relationship, acknowledging the “temporary high” of lapsing into toxicity. Because although there’s conflict and you might know it’s unhealthy, breaking the bonds for good is a lot harder than dealing with the familiarities with the thing you’ve come to know. – Nathanael Pulley – Vocals. They have 3 shows in the uk in Feb an march as well as a US tour.
