London's best gigs under a tenner in May 2022
Apr 27, 202200:47:22Tap to summarizeWe're back listeners. Or in the words of Darren, 'we're baaaaaaaack'. That's right. Back to get your feet a tapping and arms a shaking at the thought of brand new live music. In a reboot/refresh/re-something we'll be offering you a smorgasbord of top-notch, bargain-price gigs across the capital. Want to see Pist Idiots for under a tenner? Of course you do. Fancy an all-dayer in Camden for the same price. You're bloody right you do. So listen up to a story about how, your calendar for the next month got turned upside down (and filled with a set of terrifyingly good gigs). Plus the usual nonsense you've come to expect from us in the way of 'chat'.Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5ul0F6nWYfJaxo1OI3KjfG?si=b8c7e45d093e4790Follow us on the socials:https://www.instagram.com/crushclubuk/https://twitter.com/CrushClubUK Hosted on Acast.

Transcribe →SUBMISSION SPECIAL #2 - MORE GREAT NEW TUNES
Sep 24, 202000:35:27Tap to summarizeThe world has changed irrevocably since we last put out a podcast. Infection numbers continue to rise, increasingly stringent lockdown procedures have been implemented and, most troublingly of all, I've managed to spill smoothie all inside the motorised part of my smoothie maker and now I can't get rid of the fruit flies in my studio apartment. But some things never change listener. We still have the best up and coming artists in our second ever submission special, including: Szou, BlackStarKids, The Stoned Immaculate, The Kind and so many more. We still have the best banter and incisive comments about nicknames that Rob used to have. We still make a ruddy good new music podcast.WE STILL ROCK.And so do you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Transcribe →New tunes from Naked Giants, Drug Store Romeos, Empty Country and more, plus an interview with Courting.
Jun 18, 202000:58:09Tap to summarizeFrom a super safe two-meter distance in the comfort of Rob’s garden, straight to your ears all around the world, the Crush Club is back baby! I’d like to take this opportunity to quash the vicious rumour that we haven’t done a podcast for a few weeks due to me not having internet as I moved house – instead I can confirm that Rob had been imprisoned due to drug trafficking charges. Naughty Nathan! But he’s busted out and we are back with bumper show of brilliant music this week featuring: Naked Giants, Drug Store Romeos, Empty Country, Bananagun and oh so many more.This week we also had the privilege of talking to the super cool Courting, who if they aren’t already one of your favourite bands certainly will be after you find out about their picks for their musical bubble, the inside story for new track David Byrne’s Bad Side and the all important question of Liverpool v Everton. Stay safe and don’t tell the feds where Rob is. Love Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

May 28, 202000:53:23Tap to summarizeWowee! Huzzah! SHWOWZER! The Crush Club is back once again to lift you out of the deep dark pit of misery you so quaintly call your life.

Interviews with Walt Disco & Coach Party. Music from Crack Cloud, Yard Act, Lazarus Kane and more.
May 17, 202000:56:22Tap to summarizeYou ravenous bunch of slimy ingrates. You disgusting, clutching, covetous bunch of new musical hounds. Can you not leave us alone for one week? Just one week we want to not make a hit indie podcast full to the brim with brilliant new bands like Crack Cloud, Lazarus Kane and 2nd Grade, but you won’t let us will you?“We need it!” We hear you cry as you claw your way into our rooms in the dead of night. “We need two incredible interviews with Coach Party and Walt Disco! We must find out about their new EPS, their lives in lockdown and the latest news about niche modes of transport in the Isle of Wight!” You hiss, barely distinguishable as human by this point. Well we’ve got them for you. For another week your musical thirst will be sated. You’ve gained a new episode of your favourite new music podcast, but in getting it what have you lost? I hope it was worth it.You sicken us. #likeandsubscribe #5starreviews #tellyourmatesplz Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Interviews with Gaygirl and Alex Nicol, music from Roxy Girl, On Video, Team Picture & more.
May 9, 202000:56:13Tap to summarizeIt’s time to raise the gang plank, climb the mast and swab that poop deck, because the good ship Crush Club is setting sail once more, packed to the gills with a cargo of some of the freshest new music that doubloons can buy!We have shantys this week from: Roxy Girls, Team Picture, Pet Shimmers and many more which are almost guaranteed to shiver the timbers of even the most hardened land lubber. And this week our salty crew is joined for a chat by not one, but two scurvy seadogs in the form of the phenomenal Gaygirl and the fantastic Alex Nicol. We parlay about new albums on the horizon, ways of keeping yourself sane in lockdown and the merits of dunking jaffa cakes. Frankly I think someone should be made to walk the plank for that last one, but there you go… The Boat that Rocked or a Titanic failure? You decide!(disclaimer: we are not a boat and are in fact a new music podcast dedicated to new music discovery. We condemn both piracy and grog in the strongest terms possible) Hosted on Acast.

Felix White (Maccabees, Yala Records) interview. Music from Mellah, Disq, Souki and more
May 1, 202000:45:29Tap to summarizeBefore we start, we aren’t saying that we are more important to national morale than Captain Tom Moore’s fundraising attempts. To have the gall to claim that our new music podcast is more beneficial to the psyche of Britain, than a hundred-year-old war veteran’s incredible raising of tens of millions of pounds for frontline workers, would be at best churlish and at worst insulting. We would never say that. However…Coming up this week we have more great bands than you can shake a proverbial stick at: Gaygirl? Check! Laundromat? Check! Mellah? You better believe that’s a check! All that plus tons more, so you can find your new favourite band. Thank us later.Sandwiched between the amazing new music and ropey juvenile chat, we have the sweetest filling possible in the form of an interview with the legendary Felix White of Yala records and The Maccabees. Listen to Nathan franticly pretend he is cool and knows what he is talking about whilst they discuss the past, present and future of Yala records, as well as so so much more good stuff.Did Captain Tom Moore host a new music podcast with Felix on it? Just saying… Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
