Freshly Squeezed is a podcast for new music lovers... a place where you can hear new sounds before anyone else and discover artists before they become the next big thing. Jim Salveson will introduce you to three new indie/rock artists every week, play you new tracks and tell the stories behind them! The Freshly Squeezed theme is used with permission from (the brilliant) Spin Klass.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Rooks, Michael Gallagher and Malcom (a band, not a guy) hop onto the Musical Express (Whoo Whoo!)
Q: I'm gonna start by breaking my own rule, and it's gonna be based on asking about the name Malcom, because obviously, that's the name of the band.
The name came from a guy seen at night and day cafe; the band decided to use it, even though there is no actual Malcom in the group, which becomes a playful part of their identity.
Honey Motel, Movin' On and The Rogues
Q: Is there anything exciting or unusual about Movin On's lore or background?
They share a fun anecdote about meeting guitarist Johnny Ma at a Chester guitar shop and considering it a cool, shareable fact for their story.
Honey Motel, Movin' On and The Rogues
Q: What is the ambition for the new single and the band's trajectory?
They're focused on growing a fan base and visibility across platforms, rather than chasing chart positions alone.
Honey Motel, Movin' On and The Rogues
Q: How has joining a band changed the artist's approach compared to solo work?
It's opened up collaboration, reduced tunnel vision, and allowed the songs to evolve with multiple perspectives, while still keeping core influences intact.
Honey Motel, Movin' On and The Rogues
Q: How long have Movin On been together as a band?
The project started with Elijah's solo work and moved to a four-piece lineup in October 2025, with the band recording the track shortly after.
