Tim Wheeler and Keith Murray Return!

I’d be hard-pressed to think of an episode that’s more personal than this one. Which is (sort of) ironic, because it’s a talk full of laughs and gets off the rails a fair bit, but on that note, I wouldn’t change a thing. Tim Wheeler and Keith Murray are the frontmen of two of my favourite bands, Ash and We Are Scientists. We’re also old friends, and both of their bands have significantly impacted how I enjoy music. This marks both of their returns to the podcast, but the first time chatting together on a pod (I think); and in addition to the obnoxious amounts of laughs in this episode (sorry, not sorry), we also chat about how both bands have reached album number 9. Those albums are We Are Scientists Qualifying Miles (which is out now) and Ash’s Ad Astra (which is out this Friday).
Ash will be playing record shops across the UK for the next few days, before heading off to Japan for some gigs, and then they’ll be doing a full-on UK tour starting November 15th in Swansea. We Are Scientists will also be touring the UK and Europe, starting on October 15th in Glasgow. Be sure to follow Ash and We Are Scientists on Instagram to keep up with their updates (ya know, just click their highlighted names, there ya go).
After you hear the episode, be sure to check out Ash’s track Fun People (featuring Graham Coxon) and We Are Scientists track A Perlude to What on the official New Exchange Playlist. Follow Ash on Spotify and We Are Scientists on Bandcamp.
