Big Smoke Music Weekly - S5E11 - The Amazons

Season 5, Episode 11,   Oct 07, 2022, 07:47 AM

It’s Season 5, Episode 11!

This week, Luke speaks with an artist for the first time in three long years…

The Amazons front-man, Matt Thomson! Fresh off the back of the release of their third album, How Will I Know If Heaven Will Find Me?, Matt tells all about the story behind the album that cracked the top 5 in the UK Album Chart.  

He opens up on the pandemic-triggered emotions behind the album, how The Amazons never stop learning and honing their craft and how they’re breaking out of the profile of their first two albums with this new record.

Matt explains to Luke how he met Mel C and decides whether he’d leave The Amazons to team up with Spice Girls. Plus, we hear how Matt and the boys are ready to ‘own’ their huge upcoming show at London’s Roundhouse!

It’s a mega interview from one of the hottest British acts right now.

Hit ‘play’ to hear this, plus a CloseUp 60Seconds interview with Louis & The Shakes and an ‘Oldies but Goldies’ gig review from way back in ’79, featuring Joy Division!

AND find out if The Clash tribute act that Luke saw made him want to Stay or Go (see what we did there?).

A bumper of an episode, get on it now!
