So it’s not everyday you get to interview someone as genuinely awesome as Dave ‘Brownsound’ Baksh but today is that day for us here at Tour Talk 🥳

We talk bar fights, band mates temporarily being in jail, narrowly avoiding death, lamb curry (obviously), Newcastle United, Rugby Union (sorry Rob) and for a split second we even have a brief chat about touring!

Make sure you catch Dave on Cameo and help him support the War Child Canada charity 🙏

It’s Monday so that must mean it’s time for a new Episode of Tour Talk and this week we’re delighted to have Carla Harvey from Butcher Babies on the show!

We find out what it’s like for her still getting starstruck at meeting her idols backstage which leads us on to an incredible story where Carla got to spend an entire evening hanging out with Mick Jagger.

We also talk about the times we’ve ended up in places you shouldn’t be backstage, hosting pizza parties, how to make the most of your free time on tour, and we look forward to Carla’s first full tour back on the road, which will see the band playing their debut album Goliath in full… oh and somehow we even end up talking about our love for Tesco Meal Deal Sandwiches when on the road in the UK.

Here we go then!

For those of you that don't know co-host Dario spent the majority of his 20's smashing around the country playing in rock / metal band Hell To Pay and this week he's managed to coerce former band mates Tom Henstock & Daniel Martin into coming on the show to tell you what life is really like as an unsigned band...

Of course being a young, unsigned band with no guidance disaster was never far away so there’s plenty of funny stories coming your way good and bad!

As always Tour Talk is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts etc as well as Youtube so make sure you tune in and check out the back catalogue!

TT Ep #15 is loaded and Ready to Rock and this week we have the awesome Deborah Bond as our guest!!

Deborah is an amazing solo artist in her own right as well as touring and recording with legendary UK funk / soul band Incognito for the past 6 years. She’s also recently been working with Nate on material for his first solo album…more on that during the show.


Oh and she also has a degree in journalism and hosted her own weekly radio show so hopefully we've held our own here!

It's new Tour Talk time... and we've reached Episode #13, maybe unlucky for some but not us as this weeks guests is the basstastic Matt Ward from UK Top 20 album chart destroyers Mason Hill.

As always we mix the sublime with the ridiculous... Quote's from album and live reviews, reliving first tour experiences and a little story about interrupting a member of The Darkness playing table tennis being a personal favourites of this weeks episode 🤘

Mason Hill's debut album 'Against The Wall' is available to buy / stream / download directly into your brain right now and they're on tour later this year with a host of other handsome chaps in Hollowstar & Empyre so go do your homework on those boys too!

As per usual this is available in all it's visual splendour on Youtube as well as on all the usual platforms you use to listen to all those other podcasts you love.

Tour Talk Ep 12 with Charlie Benante from Anthrax is live on Youtube and all other Podcast platforms... and this week we get an exclusive: Charlie confirms ‘there probably won’t be any piano on the next Anthrax album’ 😂

All joking aside it was privilege to have one of the best rock / metal drummers on the planet as our guest on Tour Talk this week... naturally we spent most of the episode discussing our love for guitars and the current state of hip hop & country music!

We do however also cover what it’s like touring with Iron Maiden on Ed Force One, Anthrax’s seminal tour with Public Enemy, the weirdest things we’ve eaten on tour and we get the lowdown on Charlie’s new Silver Linings Album, which featured collabs with some of musics finest!

02/05/2021

Without doubt the most fun we’ve had making an episode of Tour Talk so far... this week we had the brilliant Tobbe Strandvik of kamchatka

He was an absolute pleasure to be on the road with and I think the fact that we look back with great fondness on some fairly unglamorous situations is testament to why we love doing what we do. He gives us an amazing insight into taking his positivity into every situation on road as well as how easy it is for one person to affect the vibe on tour and bring the whole mood down.


We find out what it was like learning to tour in Sweden as opposed to the UK & the States, the origins of floor pizza, the correct way to listen to Meshuggah, the variances of playing in the studio compared to playing live, developing relationships with others bands

I had so much fun shooting this episode with the guys and I think it gives a great insight to the kind of friendships you make while out touring!
