  • EP #182 - Shields (Joe Edwards & Krishan Pujara)

    On this episode I'm joined by frontman Joe Edwards and bassist Krishan Pujara of the UK metalcore band Shields.

    They've got their second album 'Death & Connection' on the way, so we discuss putting that together, exploring other genres and focusing on sound design, the guest features that appear on the album - including guitarist Sam Kubrick's dad, Jonathan Finney - and loads more.

  • The Story of Gallows | Documentary
    Jan 19 2026

    ** VIDEO HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: The audio is taken from a video episode. There are some visual assets that may be easier to understand if you enable video (where available). If not, you can head to YouTube. **

    By the late 2000s, Gallows arguably became the biggest British hardcore band ever. The release of their first album, 'Orchestra Of Wolves', saw Gallows quickly become one of the biggest new bands both in and out of the UK, landing a million pound deal with a major label - something that no British hardcore or punk band has managed to land since.

    Join me as we take a deep dive into their career, from their chaotic local shows of the early days, their fast rise through the ranks, bagging a major label deal and committing their own rock 'n' roll swindle, to their second phase and era, the legacy they’ve built, and the members' many different side-projects.

    If you've got any feedback, suggestions, additional info or suggestions on bands to cover the story of in the future, please do let me know in the comments!

    **NOTE: This episode has certain content that has been removed. This may include graphic content (violence, etc) along with song clips. A full unedited version can be viewed via Patreon.
