Kill Your Friends author John Niven joins John, Andy & Mathew in the pod to discuss The information by Martin Amis, on the way answering the question 'if this book were a Britpop album, which Britpop album would it be?' This may or may not become a regular feature. There's also talk on how writers write, and the epoch defining moment when Andy met a punk rock legend.

Cocktails - Willowbrook Lane

Cocktails - Tear It To Pieces

Cocktails, San Francisco’s best kept after hours secret, are finally stepping into the sunlight with their self-titled EP hitting turntables February 12th via Father/Daughter Records. Recorded over three days in the summer of 2012 at Fuzz City with Matthew Melton and Rob Good (of Bay Area bands Warm Soda and Bare Wires,) Cocktails is the first official offering from the self described “slop pop” quartet. Their energetic power-pop punch hits somewhere between late 70s punk and fuzzed out 90s alt (think Teenage Fanclub or GBV anthems combined with the disarming honesty and pent-up aggression of This Year’s Model era Elvis Costello). They crank out big melodies, loud guitars, and loads of sticky sweet boy/girl vocal harmonies that will surely kick some pep into your step. 

Cocktails’ 4-song 7” EP will be available digitally and on virgin black and “blonde” (limited to 150) colored vinyl beginning February 12, 2013.

Cocktails - No Blondes (In California)

This is a song about how I sat at my computer for too long and put on weight. I have since taken up walking to lose some of that weight.

Rocking and Losing Weight

This is a song about how I went for a job interview at KFC and they rejected my application. It pissed me off!
