Freshly returned from Rome following his marathon heroics, news correspondent and NO ENCORE regular RICHARD CHAMBERS is back with another batch of pop belters for all to enjoy. The turn of the 2010s is under the musical microscope this week, as the boys explore the most ear-catching songs of the era - warning: parameters may vary as to what constitutes a 'banger' and what even qualifies as 'a good song'. Elsewhere, Dave derails the news section, much to Adam's bemusement and Richard's annoyance. https://www.patreon.com/noencore ACT ONE (8:00): Kendrick Lamar, Drake and J. Cole battle it out, the sequel takes jukebox shape, a Bruce Springsteen biopic may have its man, a long-ago gag finally pays off, Journey ascend to even greater heights, and Coldplay find themselves caught up in a colourful football-themed vortex. ACT TWO (39:14) : Top 5 Pop Bangers of the Early 2010s. - Follow Richard Chambers on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/newschambers/?hl=en / Twitter https://twitter.com/newschambers?lang=en / TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@newschambers Listen to The Group Chat Podcast https://shows.acast.com/the-group-chat Richard's Running Playlist https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5CLiT8v9OKTTTNyFmFNCzV?si=JFIwo7mrQXStYy551ppqmw&pi=e-EXjcGH2eRGy8 Get bonus content on Patreon https://open.acast.com/public/patreon/fanSubscribe/4199629 * Hosted on Acast.

Welcome back to BEFORE THE ENCORE, the limited-run that all the music industry podcast collectors immediately order on the last Monday of every month. Speaking of, if vinyl (or assorted physical musical release formats) are your thing, or you're an artist more about what is involved in getting a record pressed, this is the episode for you. This month, SONIC ARCHITECT ADAM is joined by PETER JONES of ROTATOR VINYL; a physical release broker based in Dublin, Ireland, who specialises in small press runs and independent releases across vinyl, CD and cassette tape. Listen to Adam and Peter chat about the process of getting a pressing done from end-to-end, as well as the current "vinyl revival" and, of course, nerd out over their favourite types of pressings. All of that and much more in this month's edition. * https://www.patreon.com/noencore.* - Visit Rotator's Website https://www.rotatorvinyl.com/ Visit Advance Records' Webstore http://www.advancerecords.com/ Follow Peter on LinkedIn https://ie.linkedin.com/in/peterjonesrotator / Instagram https://www.instagram.com/rotatorvinyl?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw== Listen to all episodes of Before The ENCORE https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3jb7k0ZM7T9lxO7mSdcids?si=75dd2b01cde4450c Get bonus content on Patreon https://open.acast.com/public/patreon/fanSubscribe/4199629 * Hosted on Acast.

Broadcast after the fact from Sector 7G in the heart of beautiful Springfield, it's NO ENCORE~! Recorded on the most momentous night of the romantic year, DAVE HANRATTY, SONIC ARCHITECT ADAM, and MARK O'BRIEN of ENEMIES and ROYAL YELLOW fame show some love to the first family of animation by listing off their shouts for the finest musical exploits of...

Dreams... nightmares. For what is a dream, and what is a nightmare? And how do they musically manifest? Dave Hanratty and Sonic Architect Adam intend to find that out, alongside KIERAN MCGUINNESS of Delorentos, and now Driven Snow, fame. Driven Snow, made up of Kieran and former Republic of Loose member Emily Aylmer, release their debut album this Friday, 9 February. And so there's no better time to drag Kieran into NO ENCORE HQ for a deep meaningful conversation about his new and highly personal musical union and a great deal more besides.

ACT TWO (29:05): The 2024 Grammy Awards dominate this week's music news, but there's still time for the Internet to throw Irish hero Ayo Edebiri under the bus, and for Kerrang TV to leave a mark on our alternative music-loving hearts.

NO ENCORE returns for the final regular episode of the year and we've got a blockbuster guest in the wonderful and the amazing FIONNUALA JONES.

NO ENCORE travels to the wilds of County Clare (actually very peaceful, to be honest) for one week only as Dave Hanratty interrupts his time off to jump into a different studio – with the blessing from afar of Sonic Architect Adam, of course. Local boy Daithí returns to the podcast, with his faithful drummer and operations manager Alex Ridley for company. With their powers combined, the trio boot up and download accordingly as they get into the intriguing world of diegetic music in video games. But what does all that mean, you ask? Essentially, any time music is actually in a scene rather than scoring it - something a character interacts with, creates, or is aware of. Yes, it's going to get nerdy on this episode. ACT ONE: Catching up with all things occurring in the world of Daithí O'Dronaí. ACT TWO (9:08): A rare live music opportunity sees Dave break out the gig calculator, Sabrina Carpenter offends the devout, Metallica take the blood money, Kiss Korner returns in dramatic fashion, The Hives plot world domination, and Eminem goes digital - it's the news. ACT THREE (36:36): Top 5 Diegetic Video Game Music. - Visit Daithí's website https://www.daithi.me/ Follow Daithí on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/daithimusic1/ // Twitter/X https://twitter.com/daithimusic?lang=en Follow Alex Ridley on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/eightbitalex/ Buy Tickets to Daithí & Elaine Mai's Improv Show @ The Workmans Club https://events.ticketbooth.eu/event/daithi-16dec/ Visit The Beekeepers website https://www.beekeepersac.com/ Visit Common Threads website https://www.commonthreads.events/about-6-1 Get bonus content on Patreon https://open.acast.com/public/patreon/fanSubscribe/4199629 * Hosted on Acast.

Sonic Architect Adam Shanahan returns to his BEFORE THE ENCORE hot-seat to chat to multi-instrumentalist and touring musician CAOIMHE HOPKINSON for a brisk November edition. You may know Caoimhe from her co-writes with APRIL, or from touring most recently with AILBHE REDDY, PAULINE SCANLON and the Grammy-nominated ALISON RUSSELL, among many others. In this episode, Caoimhe takes us through how to stay grounded on a larger-scale tour, walking the line of a creative endeavour being your main source of income, and personal projects close to her heart away from the hustle and bustle of the stage. As always, Before The ENCORE will return next month on the last Monday of December for a final foray into the weird and wonderful world of music industry professionals for 2023. - Follow Caoimhe on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/caoimhekiwi/ Purchase tickets to Transatlantic Women @ National Concert Hall https://tradfest.com/events/mairead-ni-mhaonaightransatlantic-women/ Get bonus content on Patreon https://open.acast.com/public/patreon/fanSubscribe/4199629 * Hosted on Acast.

Fire up your iPod Nano - or Classic, if you had such a thing - as we turn the clock back to an era where the tunes were huge, the clubs were hopping, and... to be honest I kind of hate myself for writing that sentence. The music was REALLY GOOD, is what I'm getting at. Ace newsman, author, podcaster, runner, and friend Richard Chambers returns to NO ENCORE HQ to keep Dave Hanratty and Sonic Architect Adam company on a beautifully nostalgic, endlessly energetic journey. There's also room for film criticism, concert etiquette, and plenty of news. And a mention for Richard's upcoming marathon in support of Women's Aid - you can donate right here.

Nostalgia is a funny thing, dear listener, in that it's really quite an intimately individual feeling and thus your definition of a nostalgic soundtrack will likely differ from ours but you should nonetheless hopefully enjoy our wistful main event this week. Dave Hanratty and Sonic Architect Adam are joined by the brilliant Naoise Roo, who has just released her excellent new album . Listen to it immediately and often. The record- and its thematically perfect title - are up for discussion before we hit our famous news section and then reckon with the best movie soundtracks of our wayward teenage years. ACT ONE: Naoise Roo in conversation. ACT TWO (32:46): Andre 3000 is back in eyebrow-raising instrumental form and thus we simply must explore his filmography, Robbie Williams reveals the biggest regret of his career, Taylor Swift asks you to keep your gifts at arm's length, and Dave's beloved Slipknot upset the fan base again - it's the news.

Alex is a producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, and I have the great fortune of saying he is also a close collaborator of mine across several projects.
