Today on the podcast I am joined by Chris Leckey of the Belfast noise rock/punk band, Mob Wife!

We'll be covering the band's latest EP, 'RTO', which was released on June 7th.

Following the release of their debut album ‘Eat With Your Eyes’, expectation was high for album number two. The band retreated to their Belfast practice space and began working up new material. After writing almost 3 albums worth of material the band took stock and decided that a fresh approach to the new material was required. The band were keen to move away from previous structurally complex songs and focus on a more straight forward and groove orientated while maintaining the markers of the Mob Wife sound. This new approach is heard on ‘ROT’ with the band working collaboratively through ideas, developing their sound further and expanding on ideas which resulted in the bands most realised work to date.

I'll be going through the EP with Chris track by track, breaking down how each song was constructed and recorded, along with focusing on the key themes that the EP explores.
