S2 E16: Da Frame 2R

Don"t Believe The Hype ·

2023/08/30

A full-on change of pace this week at DBTH towers, for reasons that are twofold. Firstly, we've moved on from 'Brianstorm' and are onto this fantastic double release. Secondly, we took the liberty of having several drinks whilst recording this double-bill. First up it's this track which we've decided perfectly straddles the first two Monkeys eras. Yes, we're back in the nightclubs of WPSIA, only this time the boys have brought that unmistakeable FWN sound. Don't forget

Another Wednesday, another episode. And this week we complete the run of 'Brianstorm' B-Sides with another underrated belter. We cover public boners (best thing to do with them), seeing your dad naked, and crucially, we actually discuss the song.

S2 E12: 505

Don"t Believe The Hype ·

2023/08/09

We're at the end of the band's sophomore album (but don't worry, we're not at the end of the era just yet). This week our attention turns to a song that went from a mere album track to a viral TikTok hit. A staple in the band's live sets ever since, and there's plenty to discuss including that sample and the influence of the Wirral Riddler himself.

2023/08/02

This week we're moving onto a contender for the greatest song to ever reference the Wizard of Oz. If you thought having to chat about last week's track was tough enough, this week saw us come to a horrifying realisation that has now ruined it for one of us. In addition there's all the usual features as well as a full and frank discussion of the authenticity of Rizzle Kicks.

You didn't think they'd all be bangers did you? This week it's the turn of a much-maligned (mainly by the band) track.

S2 E9: If You Were There, Beware

Don"t Believe The Hype ·

2023/07/19

We're well and truly into the 'reflections on fame' theme of this record now, and it's the turn of a track for which Nick and Dan share a hot take. Aside from that, it's trivia night at DBTH towers, there's a deep dive into the life and times of James Ellis Ford, while we delve into some of Alex's most poignant lyrics.

If you find yourself forever unfulfilled then we may have just the antidote for you, as we delve deep into the eighth track from the band's sophomore album.

S2 E7: Do Me A Favour

Don"t Believe The Hype ·

2023/07/04

Curiosity does indeed become a heavy load, but luckily it's not forced us to be cold which means a return to high spirits after last week's post-gig snippiness. This week the tempo is raised again with the seventh track from the album, and there's jungle drums, some top swearing, and we discuss how your other half always looks happier in photos from before you met them (this may be a Nick-specific problem).

Tricky one this week. Dan's in a funny mood. Nick's in a funny mood. Thank heavens we've got an upbeat song to discuss with no room for disagreement. Oh. Sorry.

2023/06/20

Five episodes in and it's the turn of a smutty summer classic to take a spin on the DBTH turntable. There's witty but poignant lyrics, bingo, betting and much more, including another mention for our old mate John Cooper Clarke. Not only that, but we've got a fantastic video to get our teeth into.

2023/06/13

It's the fourth week of the new series and we've got something that'll baffle you good. Yes it's the turn of cryptic banger 'Balaclava', with every base being covered. That bassline, some smut, that guitar riff and much much more, including far too much time being dedicated to a list we found of the band's worst songs. Prepare to be angry.

It seems like we'd waited forever for the day to finally come round, but on Friday 2nd June we finally saw the band at Old Trafford Cricket Ground. In this special episode we build up to the gig, as well as offering you a taste of how our day went, with both audio and video clips, along with our post-show debrief and the subsequent dose of post-gig depression.
