S2E6 - (Greater) Manchester: The Courteeners (Overrated) & (We Are) Performance (Underrated) - with Matt Latham

We're back travelling across the UK to (Greater) Manchester with special guest Matt Latham from the Pickadisc podcast. We discuss whether Courteeners successfully manage to escape the "landfill indie" label - despite having some great lyrics? Also, Matt introduces Fran & Babs to (We Are) Performance, who make "catchy, '80s inspired pop with a dance-rock bent" - something which, on paper, sounds right up our streets... Listen to Matt's podcast Pickadisc in most places you find podcasts. Babs previously guested on Pickadisc, where she picked the album Future Perfect by Autolux.
