NO ENCORE smashes it straight into the top corner this week by handing the coveted co-host debut cap to Fernando Torres enthusiast Carl Kinsella.
You may know Carl from his former work at JOE, or his current 'Surrealing in the Years' column at The Journal. You may know him from Twitter. You may simply know him as a friend.
In any case, former colleague Dave Hanratty and new friend Sonic Architect Adam are delighted to bring Carl off the training pitch and into your hearts for a proper football special in honour of EURO 2024 kicking off.
On this episode, Carl navigates a timeline of his personal relationship with the beautiful game and music itself, as he details the songs that we may not necessarily associate with football, yet have nonetheless made a lasting tactical impact on his life.

This month, Sonic Architect Adam logs into Zoom for the first time in what feels like a lifetime to connect with Joe Furlong, bassist and musical director to stars such as Sorcha Richardson, James Vincent McMorrow, the star-studded Turning Pirate gigs that you may remember from Vicar Street, and now Hibernacle, a musical collaboration retreat-come-festival that celebrates the finest the country has to offer.
In this episode you'll hear Joe and Adam discuss what large-scale touring is like and how to deal with the change in lifestyle post-tour, what it takes to become a musical director and how Joe's move to Berlin in recent years has (or hasn't) effected his work, among many other topics.

Well if it isn't our old friend, the LEITMOTIF.
Kind of amazing we haven't done this one before so fair play to debuting guest co-host Seán Connolly - a man you may know from online broadcasting behemoth The TRY Channel, where he puts in a Herculean shift both in front of and behind the camera - for suggesting it.
But what is a leitmotif? Why, it's a musical theme associated with a character in media such as films, television, and video games, of course. As such, the boys duel it out accordingly, shouting out their favourite individual pop culture signatures from the rooftops.
Beforehand, a busy news section awaits. Also waiting for you - our latest episode of the NO ENCORE Album Club. Head on over to Patreon.com/noencore to sign up and listen.
ACT ONE (3:03): Steve Albini RIP, Kendrick vs Drake goes into overdrive, Macklemore continues to be a hero, and the 'Bambie Thug and Eurovision' debate finally arrives at its inevitable conclusion - it's the news.

Join us for the final pre-summer edition of Before The ENCORE, where we aim to direct sunshine in the form of music industry conversations straight into your ears so you can put on the sunglasses of knowledge and wear them with pride.
This month, Sonic Architect Adam is joined by producer and violinist formerly based in Dublin, now London, Molly Mansukhani. You might be familiar with her work alongside Kayleigh Noble, JaXson, Tara Devi, V-Sensei or from her time spent in Diffusion Lab as an intern under former-guest Chris Bubenzer before going freelance.
In this episode, Adam and Molly talk about what it is to be a producer, the skills involved, the highlights, the learnings and the many twists and turns they both had to take before realising that production was the final destination, as well as a chance meeting at the RTÉ Choice Music Prize just gone that catalysed this recording.

It's a special bonus episode of NO ENCORE in honour of Taylor Swift releasing 11th studio album The Tortured Poets Department and everyone having an online meltdown about it.
One such major talking point emerged via American publication Paste Magazine, which opted to withhold the name of the writer when publishing its review of The Tortured Poets Department.
The move provoked a lively reaction and a lot of debate, from critics, commentators, and hardcore Swifties alike.
On this episode, Dave Hanratty speaks with Paste's Music Editor Matt Mitchell to learn about what went into the decision-making process, and hear Matt's take on the state of music criticism in 2024, particularly with regard to the online hardcore fan bases that seek to police it.
Dave also sits down with Clare Martin, Assistant Comedy Editor at Paste, who reviewed Taylor Swift's Lover album in 2019 and subsequently received threats of violence because of it. Clare reflects on her experience, and gives her thoughts on Paste's call to anonymise their latest critique of the biggest name in music today.

NO ENCORE goes Hollywood once more as Dave Hanratty and Sonic Architect Adam go to the cinemathèque, take in the previews, and then leave before the film starts.
It's a celebration of the most arresting needle drops featured in movie trailers - blockbuster events and arthouse affairs inclusive.
Elsewhere, a quiet week leads to a pretty one-sided news section. At least Dave now knows how to correctly pronounce 'Coachella', if nothing else...

Cody Rhodes may have finished his story, but it's a fresh chapter in the NO ENCORE saga this week as 'The Donegal Dynamo' Hugh Carr makes his podcast return.
Hugh is just back from a trip to Philadelphia - the "best week of his life", apparently - where he took in many live professional wrestling shows, including the Granddaddy of Them All, the Showcase of the Immortals; WrestleMania.
In that infectious spirit, this week's Top 5 concerns the history of that humble grappling event, specifically the many live music performances that have taken place under its stadium-sized roof. And oh boy, have there been some shockers.
We tasked Hugh with giving us a mix of the good and the bad, but it seems that only the most headline-making terrible ones came to his mind. Enjoy?
Hit up our Patreon for exclusive access to bonus content including the debut episode of the NO ENCORE Album Club, out now!
ACT ONE (5:35): Dave gives his verdict on the new Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross film score, J. Cole loses all credibility in record time, Chechnya has a speeding problem, St. Vincent makes a valid point, The Libertines and The Doors finally unite kinda-sorta, and can we stop being weird about Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson? It's this week's music news.
ACT TWO (52:35): Hugh recaps his Philly jaunt, before laying the smack down on his Top 5 Bad WrestleMania Music Performances.

Freshly returned from Rome following his marathon heroics, news correspondent and NO ENCORE regular Richard Chambers is back with another batch of pop belters for all to enjoy.
The turn of the 2010s is under the musical microscope this week, as the boys explore the most ear-catching songs of the era - warning: parameters may vary as to what constitutes a 'banger' and what even qualifies as 'a good song'.
Elsewhere, Dave derails the news section, much to Adam's bemusement and Richard's annoyance.

Welcome back to Before The ENCORE, the limited-run that all the music industry podcast collectors immediately order on the last Monday of every month.
Speaking of, if vinyl (or assorted physical musical release formats) are your thing, or you're an artist more about what is involved in getting a record pressed, this is the episode for you. This month, Sonic Architect Adam is joined by Peter Jones of Rotator Vinyl; a physical release broker based in Dublin, Ireland, who specialises in small press runs and independent releases across vinyl, CD and cassette tape.
Listen to Adam and Peter chat about the process of getting a pressing done from end-to-end, as well as the current "vinyl revival" and, of course, nerd out over their favourite types of pressings. All of that and much more in this month's edition.
