With David asleep on a French sun-lounger beneath a copy of Summer Lightning, Alex and Mark pour themselves a cold drink and consider …
… the great ska floor-fillers.
… taking kids to rock concerts.
… the fate of all bands: “as musicianship improves, vocals decline”.
… left-field Beatles songs reworked as nursery rhymes.
… why 2-Tone had pop’s “triple threat” (and the genius of Mike Barson).
… of the five big acts with all original members intact, only one should reform.
… how “Tay-gating” became a thing.
… the secret life of Chris Ballew, former leader of minimal grunge trio the Presidents Of The United States of America.
… is the Jam a “young man’s concept”?
… the downside of “Cuddly Liam”.
… Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran: has normality replaced escapism?
… and Frank Carter as the new Johnny Rotten.
