Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Phil Etheridge - The Twang
Q: And how did it kick on from there? Like, like you say, with writing for a second album, did the dynamic change a bit or were you able to just crack on with it?
Etheridge says the band wrote songs at a cottage, tried recording with Youth, then returned to write more and made the album with Mint Royale. He remains proud of the record despite its poor press reception.
Phil Etheridge - The Twang
Q: And in terms of songwriting, like, how did it happen early doors? Was it kind of the same technique or how did it come together?
Etheridge says the band initially improvised and developed ideas together without overthinking them. One member would bring in an idea, and they would see how it felt as they worked on it.
Best of the 00s with Kate Jackson (The Long Blondes)
Q: What advice would you give to new artists?
She advises musicians to keep playing with friends and focus on creating and performing for the love of it, while protecting their creative independence from the demands of the music business.
Best of the 00s with Kate Jackson (The Long Blondes)
Q: How did you write the new record from your bedroom?
With her young son and husband asleep, Jackson used an iPad, a USB keyboard, and Logic Pro to write songs at night. She built backing tracks and melodies, fitting lyrics as she worked.
Blaine Harrison - Mystery Jets
Q: How did the relationship with a label evolve during the Making Dens/21 era?
Labels offered opportunities but also posed challenges; being dropped ultimately forced the band to adapt, find new partnerships, and continue creating without being held to a single big upfront deal.
