NO ENCORE

Rejoice! We're back in the studio! 

And we're joined from way out west by the returning Daithí and the debuting Peter Kelly, with both men in town to talk year two of Ireland's most unique and exciting new music and arts festival - Common Threads. 

The boys also take on a lively news section and list off their five go-to tracks that you simply must throw on when the party starts to fade and the dance floor begins to evacuate. 

Bangers only, naturally. 

ACT ONE: We discuss the return of Common Threads and what it’s all about with the two masterminds behind the new festival. 

ACT TWO (22:20): Marvel prove Dave's point, Elton John endorses Fontaines, Liam Gallagher loses the plot, and Jonker 2 draws ever closer - it's the news. 

ACT THREE (41:17): Top 5 Party Revivers

Not like romantic dates, you understand. The ones on your calendar, that's what we mean. 

And by 'we', we mean returning NO ENCORE original Colm O'Regan, who takes the co-host microphone up this week alongside Dave and Adam. 

Before we get to this week's hijinks, a reminder that our Patreon is booming with bonus content right now: 

Grab the overpriced popcorn and get ready to suffer through the songs and sounds you wish marketing departments and music supervisors would just leave well enough alone. 

Dave and Adam are joined this week by Andy McCarroll, host of the excellent Extra Vision podcast and certified movie lover (and hater, should his vitriol prove valid), to navigate the creatively bankrupt world of lazy needle drops that are deployed way, way too often. 

We've also got a packed news section that takes in everything from surprising infidelity to a highly divisive comeback.
