Adam talks with the members of celebrated English 5 piece Squid about band dynamics, whether they belong to the genre 'Ramen Rock', working with 'Windmill scene' producer Dan Carey, sweary shop assistants, the perils of playing pissed, and a very deep philosophical question. They also play a couple of songs from their recent album Cowards. Plus, Adam considers the dismayed response to a video he recently uploaded to his YouTube channel.
