Poor Dave is under the weather, so rather than subjecting you all to listening to the rantings and ravings of Billy left to his own devices, here is the first episode of our new bonus series ‘The Hunt for the Perfect Album’, available to all patrons of the show!
This first episode sees Dave listen to one of Billy’s favourite albums - ‘Guppy’ by ‘Charly Bliss’. An album that Billy dubs perfect. Will Dave agree? Either way - You all should check out Charly Bliss, as I (Billy) firmly believe they are the greatest band of the last 5 years.
