Join us as we explore their origins though to the recording process of their debut album with lots in between.
Other Half - Here to rattle your cage This week sees us talking to Cal and Sophie from Other Half - Alfie had the lurgy so sadly couldn't come along but we had a lovely old time anyway. Other Half have been a mainstay of the UK DIY punk circuit for more years than they would care to admit. Puzzling audiences with a combination of caustic dischord-style post hardcore sneering indie rock and tongue-in-cheek classic rock tropes, all tied together with vivid, slice-of-life lyricism. They've put out three records on Venn and Big Scary Monsters respectively, which have all had nice things said about them. So park up and bend your ears back... enjoy
