This week, we bring the chaos with Without Andrew — a punk band that doesn’t care about your rules, your trends, or your polished playlists. Raw, fast, loud, and real as hell, these guys talk shit, tell stories, and tear down the walls of what music "should" be. We get into their origins, their latest sonic assaults, and why they’ll never sell out (unless the check is really big).

This isn’t just a band — it’s a middle finger with a soundtrack. Plug in, turn it up, and get ready to riot.

Join us for an exclusive chat with Manchester indie band Dakota Avenue as they reflect on their musical journey, creative process, and future plans—including their recent support slot for Sleeper and insights into their latest track “Next Bill”. From early inspirations to upcoming ambitions, this episode is packed with stories you won’t want to miss. 🎸🎤

We dive into their creative process, upcoming releases, and what’s next for one of the most exciting emerging artists in the North. Whether you're a fan of raw riffs, sharp lyrics, or just love discovering new UK bands, this episode delivers.

📍 Tune in for a raw, real, and loud conversation with Acetate — a band you’ll want on your radar.
