Open that cutoff filter the whole way up, listener! Synthesisers are the name of the game this week, but it's all very much still the real deal here at NO ENCORE as Matt Harris of Birthday Problem, HAVVK and Veta Records sits opposite to take us into the world of analogue oscillation for his favourite synth riffs. Meanwhile, over on the NO ENCORE Patreon, Adam's third instalment of his DISCUSSING THE IRISH MUSIC INDUSTRY series is now live, featuring a solo run from the Sonic Architect himself; industry chat within, not to be missed! And there won't be long to wait until the next volume of Film Club with Andy McCarroll and Dave dissecting the 2008 found footage monster horror movie Cloverfield– that lands this coming Monday. Sign up now to get your fix! But back to this week's show, and what a show we have for you... ACT ONE: Matt tells us all about Birthday Problem's latest offering, as well as an insight into what's coming next. ACT TWO (29:01): A NO ENCORE Roving Reporter fills us in on a night at Oasis in Cardiff, David Draiman discourse, Akon City down, Apple Music unveil their top 500 streamed songs of the decade and Iron Maiden make a mint (in a way)– it's the news. ACT THREE (1:08:44): Top 5 Synth Hooks - Birthday Problem links Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hey there was a big festival on last weekend, maybe you heard about it or read about it or watched it or something.  Returning guest Richard Chambers was at the damn thing and so he duly relays Dave and Adam with a feature-length review in lieu of a Top 5, and let us tell you listener, this is a damn fine report.  Also damn fine is the NO ENCORE Patreon - hit it up today for bonus content! ACT ONE: Dave gets intensely self-indulgent about another podcast. Hey, why not?  ACT TWO (9:42): A scattershot enough news section takes in Oasis x Bohemians, a fake band doing numbers, and Adam's newest vinyl purchase.  ACT THREE (26:45): Glastonbury 2025 in review featuring live reports of Supergrass, CMAT, Wet Leg, Franz Ferdinand, Alanis Morrisette, The 1975, Romy, Bob Vylan (and all the news fallout that came with that), Kneecap (ditto), Patchwork (aka Pulp), Skepta, Charli XCX, Gurriers, Rod Stewart, Snow Patrol, Overmono, and Olivia Rodrigo.  As you might expect, a LOT to talk about.  Hosted on Acast.
