When Simon Met

Award winning presenter and producer Simon Wilson catches up with your favourite musicians, comedians and artists, filled with games stupidity and prizes! Frank Turner - I have done A LOT of interviews over the years. As tours roll by, certain faces become familiar, and it's possible to build something of a rapport with someone over time. Every time I'm in the south of the UK, for a good few albums now, I get interviewed by Simon Wilson (for Voice FM). It's always a total blast, funny, engaging, surprising, insightful, silly.

  Ninth Key – A Nu Metal Revolution Begins

  Aug 20, 202636 min

  I truly believe this is the start of something incredibly special. What Lø Spirit and Ekoh have created with Ninth Key is unique — it feels nostalgic, but at the same time, completely fresh and new. Ninth Key are bringing their own take on the nu metal sound, blending the spirit of the early 2000s with something that feels genuinely relevant today. This is just the beginning, and I can't wait to see where they take it next.
