Sophia attempts to hire on new members to the C.R.E.D.E. Agency, while Simon prowls the underground relic markets to restock on magical artifacts. And somehow, yet another spawn of a distant cosmic abomination enters the mix.

Thanks so much for all the support I've gotten from this subreddit.

Earlier this year, the four members of Left Side Brain (once described by Kerrang! magazine as “one of the brightest lights in British rock”) started a podcast so that we could catch up to chat about music, film, TV, gaming (although mainly music), reminisce about the LSB glory years and debate on a pre-chosen deep-dive discussion point. 

While it was initially mainly a chance for us to hang out more often, we now find ourselves 11 episodes in and picking up momentum. I’m hoping by sharing details here we might pick up a few more listeners who, like us, love spending hours and hours chatting about all things music.

Here are details of all the episodes so far, in case anything in particular grabs your interest.

Episode 1: Greatest opening tracks on debut albums: Oli, G, Rich and Ryan discuss their top five opening tracks on debut albums as well as tales of how they met, early LSB gigs and filming promo videos. 

Episode 2: Memorable gigs: Oli, G, Rich and Ryan discuss the most memorable gigs they’ve been to as well as reviews of recent Deftones shows and tales of on-stage crotch-stamping and scraping the bottom of the barrel in Barnstaple.

Episode 3: The most satisfying guitar riffs: Oli, G, Rich and Ryan each talk about five of the guitar riffs they find most satisfying, leading to an epic in-depth discussion of each, as well as tales of bivouacking in Lincoln with the Mega Priest and admiration for backstage dressing room wall art. 

Episode 4: Exile on Main St (classic album review): Oli, G, Rich and Ryan review the 1972 classic Rolling Stones album Exile on Main St, as well as chatting about the recent 20th anniversary of LSB’s Action Potential and G’s return to causing sonic problems for the people of Bristol.

Episode 5: Rolling Stone’s greatest guitar solos: Oli, G, Rich and Ryan review Rolling Stone magazine’s top 10 greatest guitar solos of all time, as well as chatting about Angine De Poitrine live in Bristol and reminiscing about when Ryan was not-officially named the second-hardest-hitting drummer in the world.

Episode 6: Underrated/forgotten bands (part 1) with Barry Dolan: Oli, G, Rich, Ryan and special guest Barry Dolan (Oxygen Thief / Non Canon) talk about the best bands they shared a bill with that deserve to be remembered and listened to, as well as remembering how an LSB classic nearly got Barry arrested and spreading more love for the Scratch.

Episode 7: Fantasy Supergroups: Oli, G, Rich and Ryan each put together a band line-up that in another time and space they’d love to have heard / seen play together, as well as fondly revisiting an LSB deep cut and reminiscing about that time Rich was interviewed live on Ukrainian breakfast TV.

Episode 8: Make It Big by Wham! (formative album review): Oli, G, Rich and Ryan review the first album Oli ever bought, 1984’s Make It Big by Wham!, as well as dissecting a car crash of a fantasy supergroup from a listener and just-about remembering that time they were threatened with attack dogs in Cleethorpes.

Episode 9: The lost Deftones album ‘Eros’: Oli, G, Rich and Ryan discuss the leak of the legendary lost Deftones album and talk through their opinions of the tracks themselves, as well as reviewing some massive recent gigs and trying (and failing) to hold it together while analysing a newspaper article about a toilet-related emergency in a moshpit.

Episode 10: Song exchange: Oli, G, Rich and Ryan give each other a song they love that they also think the recipient will feel the same about, as well reviewing the new Mastodon album and analysing a news story about a pigeon attack on Kings of Leon.

Episode 11: Killer riffs with Jamie Lenman: Oli, G, Rich, Ryan and very special guest Jamie Lenman each bring three riffs they consider killer to the pod for dissection, as well looking back at the shared history of LSB & Reuben and talking about how Jamie was nearly poached from Reuben to join a real-life supergroup.

Thanks for reading! Podcast is available on all the usual platforms and YouTube.
