Episode 203 - Jay Butler

We talk to Jay Butler - Frontman for Grand Theft Audio. It's been over two decades since the release of the debut album 'Blame Everyone' from British Rock Band Grand Theft Audio. Something of a supergroup at the time featuring members of The Wildhearts, 3 Colours Red and Real TV, the band would be signed before they'd even entered a rehearsal room and would set their sights directly at the USA with their heady mix of Rock, Punk, Alternative and Electronic Anthems which were perfect for the new millennium. As bright as they initially shone they would implode just as quickly due to record company disputes but two decades later, frontman Jay and drummer Ritch Battersby return with a brand new album 'Pass Me The Conch'. Jay joins the show to chat all about his childhood, growing up, introductions to music and the whirlwind experience of GTA.Special thanks to Affinity Photo - The hottest photo editing software on iPad, Mac & PChttps://affinity.serif.com/photoIntro Music by Johnny Monacohttps://www.johnnymonaco.com Incidental Music by Night Fires Please visit The 80s Video Shop Patreon Page to find out how you can help grow our very own 80s Video Shop. https://www.patreon.com/80sVideoShop
