Episode 50 Now we are 50 and in pretty good shape, with a stonker of a podcast for you. Girl For Samson – Jehovah Girl For Samson start us off with a great tune. Proper friends of the podcast, mainly because we love their music and they say nice things about me. Yes, I’m that shallow. Here’s what JM sent me: “Here’s the first new Girl For Samson track since the 2025 album Blend All The Seasons. Girl For Samson are a three-piece recording band based in Kansas City.” Want more info? Go go here digging and you’ll be rewarded. Poppy Marynns feat Corey Jones – All I Want Next up is Poppy Marynns featuring Corey Jones. Poppy has really upped the bar with this one. He just keeps getting better and better, and it shows. Poppy is very into ReverbNation, which is where you will find out all about him and what he’s up to. Ger Eaton – I Thought I’d A Friend In third place is Ger Eaton with a track that is an absolute masterpiece of songwriting and production. Talking of writing, here’s a bit of his bio: Ger Eaton is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, hair stylist and retro-vintage aficionado. This iconic and stylish gentleman is most recently known as keyboardist and guitarist for Dublin alt-rock heroes The Pale. He has long been a revered mainstay of the Irish music scene as a member of Premonition, Las Vegas Basement, Les Marionettes, Pugwash and The Carnival Brothers, alongside numerous solo and collaborative projects. He has recorded and toured extensively with artists including Mundy, Duke Special, Jack L and Fionn Regan, and has played everywhere from Glastonbury Festival to Later with Jools Holland. Following a run of singles throughout the 2020s, Eaton’s debut album Season Changes has arrived via the Dimple Discs label. He describes his sound as “Renaissance Pop” and the album as an old-fashioned break-up record, charting the emotional arc of a long relationship from bloom to winter. Ger is a Bandcamp user, so that’s the best place to head if you want to explore further. Laptop – Confused And finally, the mighty Laptop with Confused. Here are the bio bits: Written in response to January 6, the track captures the psychological whiplash of watching democratic reality fracture in real time, filtered through the perspective of a man glued to the news, overwhelmed by noise, grievance and spectacle. Rather than narrating events, “Confused” documents the mental fallout. Lines such as “They claim that they’re abused” and “Not quite the Reichstag fire” place the song firmly in the present, not as commentary but as diagnosis. Threaded with dry and unsettling irony, the song leaves the listener with a queasy recognition that everyone sounds convinced, everyone sounds wrong, and certainty itself has become the least reliable narrator. We got the joke. Did you? For all the info on this great band, shake the tree and see what falls out. And there we have it. Was it a stonker? Do you feel stonked?

Episode 49 The Kettle Zone, Griffin, Grete, Drop Dead Gorgeous Back to normal with a great show full of the best music you have never heard. We start off with The Kettle Zone – Little by Little. I played Kettle Zone last year and I do not think much has changed in their socials, so click here and see what I said about them here:https://nicktannsfreshmusicfix.com/index.php/2025/10/13/ep-38/ Griffin – Leaning In comes in strong in second place and he has a full “bangs and whistles” website that has all the info you could ever need:https://www.griffinmusica.com/ The wonderful Grete hits us up next with her brilliant “Parade”. She’s taking it forward as her bid for the Lithuanian entry for this year’s Eurovision and we wish her the very best of luck. It’s a banger. She has socials galore here: InstagramFacebookYouTube Drop Dead Gorgeous and Sink Your Teeth take us home with the final tracks of this episode. The ever fragrant Emma Scott tells us: About Drop Dead, Gorgeous A defining voice in the mid-2000s post-hardcore scene, Drop Dead, Gorgeous helped shape a sound that launched Rise Records into a major force. Their debut In Vogue (2006) sold over 50k copies, fusing theatrical intensity, synth-driven breakdowns, and raw emotion, inspiring countless bands who followed. After a decade away, core members Danny “Stills” Stillman, Danny Cooper, and Jake Hansen triumphantly returned with new music that hits even harder. Recent singles Six Feet and Burn (produced by Elliot Polokoff and mastered by Grammy winner Ted Jensen) reignited the fanbase and earned airplay from Octane Test Drive and Kerrang! Radio in the EU and UK. Now comes Sink Your Teeth, heavier, sharper, and fully embracing who they have become. “It’s about confronting destructive patterns and finding strength in facing the darkness head on.” – Danny Stillman Fans of: Bring Me The Horizon, Bad Omens, The Devil Wears PradaInfluences: Daft Punk, Blink-182, Every Time I Die, Botch and she is never wrong. They are socialising here:https://www.dropdeadband.com/https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100050550186621https://www.instagram.com/dropdead_gorgeousofficial/https://www.tiktok.com/@dropdeadgorgeousofficial?lang=en And there we are, another show in the bag.

    Project Overload won our subscriber’s poll at the end of last year and won themselves an episode all about them and this is it!

    This is what they say….

    “Project Overload are Emily, Callum, Joe, and brothers Tom and Lucas. Aged between 15 and 20, we gig regularly around the Midlands and were recently named Best New Local Band by the Coventry Observer.

    In 2024 we released our debut album, saw lead single Second Chances playlisted by Spotify, performed on the main stage at Godiva Festival and won a slot at Lakefest. We are currently recording our second album.

    We play bright janglepop with sharp elbows which has been compared to The Primitives, Young Marble Giants, Blondie and the C86 sound. Influences include Fontaines DC, Dayglow, Declan McKenna, The Strokes, Sabrina Carpenter, Beach Bunny, Peach Fuzz, Two Door Cinema Club and Foals.”
