Ep.192: Half Term (Well... 2/3's) Report of 2026

Hello everyone and thank you for choosing to spend your time with us here on Trve. Cvlt. Pop! where we talk about music on a podcast. On this weeks show Steve and Sam look at how we're doing in 2026 for music thus far; has it been good, has it been bad, what genres have thrived, which ones need to step it up in the next few months, what are we looking forward to before the year ends and what will 2026 be remembered for musically? We discuss that and get your thoughts, which you can send us, about anything, at https://www.speakpipe.com/TrveCvltPop There's also chat about the new albums from Charli XCX, The Strokes, Loathe and Sal, we look at the Mercury Prize nominations, grimace at Jared Leto and say a heartfelt goodbye to the late, great Lou Koller, who passed away this week.
