Hosts Moose and Dewsbury catch up again this week to discuss the innovative - and controversial - phone-free concert experiment to be carried out by Ghost on their upcoming tour.

The thinking is that people who spend entire shows recording on their phones creates a disconnected experience, which the experiment aims to remedy by removing phones from the show, while allowing people to keep hold of their possessions at all times. Is forcing people to relinquish their mobile devices a step too far? Or is it a necessary step to create a better experience for all? The guys discuss the issue, with their differing viewpoints.

The conversation also touches on the recently-announced Powerwolf show at Wembley, updates on new merchandise, and Moose and Dews updating their social calendars for gigs.

Moose returns to the podcast, so this week he and Dews catch up, with the main topic of conversation being Download 2025 headliners Sleep Token. The guys ask the question “are they overrated?” and the answer may surprise you.

Given that Sleep Token only debuted in 2016, and that they are soon to release their fourth album proper, it’s remarkable that they are soon to headline the UK’s largest rock festival. Equally remarkable, are the facts that…

• Sleep Token have accumulated over 100M YouTube streams in the last 2 years.
• The Summoning alone has over 30M streams on YouTube, and over 200M on Spotify!
• They have over 1 billion Spotify streams in total.

If questioning whether the band is overrated or not, surely these numbers alone beg the question “who is doing the rating?”; If a band is highly-rated, but literally millions of fans are loving their music, can they be overrated? Moose and Dews explore the dynamics of industry hype in music, discussing the double-edged nature of hype, the importance of organic reach, and the authenticity of music.
