Those Electrapod Chats

There’s something beautifully unfair about putting your own songs on trial. This episode starts with a simple idea and very quickly spirals into something far more chaotic, far more emotional, and at times… borderline brutal. Thirty-two Electrasy tracks, pulled out of the catalogue and thrown into a completely random knockout bracket. No seeding, no bias, no mercy. Just song versus song, round by...

Season 2 kicks off with a gert big game of song chess. In this opening episode, Pete, Steve and Ali sit down to draft the 24 Electrasy tracks that best represent the band, past and present.

The songs have to be chosen across eight themed categories, forcing us to dig into the cat...

As 2025 limps proudly to the bar for last orders, we thought it was only right to pause, rewind, and gently roast ourselves. This wrap pod is less about wisdom and more about survival. The moments where the mics were hot, the filters were off, and things went spectacularly sideways. Missed cues, bad maths, accidental philosophy, moments of pure nonsense and the occasional laugh that broke the room...
