Steven and Ian kick off their discussion by addressing the uncertain situation of drummers in 2025, marked by a wave of retirements and dismissals. They then shift gears to talk about the much-anticipated return of Oasis, with Steven expressing his hope to catch them live in London in just a few weeks. The conversation transitions to the exciting announcement of a new album from Geese, the groovy psych-rock band that seems set for a breakout year. They also delve into the Fantasy Album Draft, which this week highlights the latest release from Wet Leg. Additionally, they chat about the LA-based band Lord Huron, which has quietly become one of the most beloved indie-rock groups, boasting a track that has amassed over 3 billion streams.
