On this episode I'm joined by The Gloom In The Corner frontman, Mikey Arthur.
We discuss their newly released third album 'Royal Discordance', the slight change in songwriting approach, the ballet references in the song 'Nope (Hollow Point Elysium)', Red Dead Redemption, the 10th anniversary of the band this year, and loads more.
A new episode will be released every Thursday.
