Dan & Kane bring you the best of just about everything in their monthly radio show, Pop Your Collar. From ’60s garage-rock to contemporary bluegrass via the odd bit of local trip-hop. And they won’t just drop the hits, oh no. They’ve got features too, like Go Go Noughties Knowledge, Who Are You? and Be My B-Side.
Listen to every episode in full for free on Spotify (because that way the bands get £$€).
Popcorn at the ready, we're going to the movies! We're joined by guest Nathan Smith, manager at The Luxe cinema (where we filmed 'Jeremiah') to talk (and listen) through music from madcap musicals to Danish black-comedies to American indies by the likes of Sparks, Pulp and more. There's not a thing about film Nathan doesn't know. Seriously. And don't even get him started on Trainspotting 2, sorry T2, sorry T2 Trainspotting…
Roll up, roll up for episode 12 of PYC! If you weren't aware how much we love Hull, we bang on about it again. We also go super local in Shop Local with Goldblume, Kane Drops it Like it's Hot – red hot – with the Chili Peppers, and Matt Bellamy waves around some rattlesnakes. That makes sense, right? Tune in and it totes will!
Happy New Year! What d'you mean it's too late to keep saying that? Hogcock! We're delighted to have made it to 2022, here's hoping we're allowed to enjoy gigs this year. Especially with amazing acts like Gabriels, FKA Twigs and Stone doing grrreat things, all of whom we swoon over this episode. Plus we meet a 1930s serial wedder, revisit nu-rave and find out just how beautiful James is.
In a PYC first, we've got a guest host! He's a maverick, a rogue, a bold rebel soul – it's the one and only itffits. He donated to our War Child campaign in exchange for podcast action. Expect hip-hop/psych-pop mash-ups, non-noughties indie and a foreign language section. Ooh la la.
For the love of god don't unzip that banana! But do listen to episode 9 of Pop Your Collar, in which we look to Doncaster for local talent, enjoy the metaphorical sun of Latin America, discuss the questionable humour of Seinfeld and consider just how un-family-friendly bananas are. All with a banging playlist to boot!
Freedom, shmeedom. We're STILL not allowed to sweat all over each other at gigs, but it's not getting us down. No sirree. Instead we look to the local scene with Matt Reaction, RATM drop it like it's hot, and the legends that are Self Esteem and Portishead get suitably swooned over. Plus heaps more. Hit play then, yeah?
Headphones on! We've got another round of audible chaos for you, including Fen mad men Das Kapitans, who are attempting a whopping 12 albums this year. We also get soppy over some Aussie indie-folk, revisit classic Hendrix and finally pin down a sample that's been eluding us in The OGs. Plug-in and wig out!
Was that a ray of sunshine we spied on the horizon? England gets two days of heat and Kane unleashes the Latin vibes for a fiesta. Also accompanied by brand new folk-pop, feel-good pop-punk, British AND US hip-hop, and an American actor-turned-everything. Shop Local makes a return too, plus more noughties nostalgia trips.
Join us on a journey to DJ Shadow’s basement, marvel at Robert Smith’s hair en route and visit KRS-One ‘up North’ as we dive into episode five of Pop Your Collar. There are new features Drop it Like it’s Hot and Shop Local, we debate the marginally contentious move to Spotify, and the jingles take a turn for the creepy. Go on and get stuck in...
Has it been a month already? Hard to tell in these pandemic-y times, but we've survived January. Hurrah! Join us in celebration with some undeniably catchy Japanese pop-punk, sexy new ’80s synth vibes from The Strokes and a brand new feature called The OGs. Plus, Dan plays a band that isn't from the noughties. What? Shut the front door!
Happy New Year! Shout sayonara to the year that shall not be named and join Collars as they ring in 2021 with more slapdash radio. Discover the beauty of the b-side, find out that Dan can't do a cockerrrney accent, and that Kane was the last person on earth to convert to the power of Queen Bey.
The moment has arrived, episode two of Collars’ chaotic radio show has landed! There’s 90s hip-hop, there’s Japanese punk, there’s classic noughties (naturally) and Sabbath… What more could you want? Oh, you want homemade jingles and creepy retro ads too? You got it!
Episode one of the chaotic radio show from Collars, featuring contemporary bluegrass, classic reggae, choice R&B cuts and more. Plus, hark back to the noughties with The Dead 60s, guess who said “There's no excuse for the young people not knowing who the heroes and heroines are or were” in Who Are You? and revel in some homemade jingles.
