In this episode, Chris is joined by Charlie Bush of London based melodic indie punk band, Muttering.

Charlie talks about the importance of connection and personal relationships when it comes to lyrics, as well as finding the comfortable, confident balance of that in his own writing. He also discusses the benefits that came from the band's recent collaborations and how that influenced his approach to lyrics.

Charlie also discusses what we can expect from his writing in the band's anticipated second album and how life events have perhaps shaped the direction that is taking.

In this episode, Chris is joined by London based hip hop artist, Retropxssy.

We discuss the nature of navigating the world of UK grass roots hip hop as a white woman and how that can contrast with people's expectations, as well as how the lyrical content of Retropxssy's songs sit alongside that. She also discusses the personal circumstances and experiences that lead to certain common themes within her lyrics.

The artist also discusses the way that certain beats bring out certain lyrical ideas and the importance of the relationship between the two, including some of the varied artists that might inspire these choices.

In this episode, Chris is joined by Lewis Chapman of Essex alternative/emo band, Looseleaf.

Lewis talks about why he often finds writing lyrics the least enjoyable part of songwriting and the potential anxieties that come with writing in a direct, confessional style. He also gets into some of the reasons behind why he writes songs of that nature in spite of that.

Lewis also gets into some of the lyrics from this year's release, Selfsame, as well as discussing the direction he's like his lyric writing to take from here.
