Mardy Bums

Nathan and Will are joined by Gareth (aka G) and Cat from Mardy Bums, a Surrey-based Arctic Monkeys tribute band. Formed in 2019 through their mutual love of Sheffield’s finest, we chat about playing to 2,000 people in a sweaty tent in Jersey, about bring an in-demand tribute band, and carrying on after the departure of their original Alex Turner. New ‘Alex’ Gareth discusses being thrown in at the deep end, the ongoing process of becoming Alex Turner, and whether he can persuade his bandmates to play anything from their last two records. Will reveals he’s not a fan of Kevin Spacey.
