In this episode of the Primordial podcast, Dews and Moose catch up after Dews' fairly disastrous week away. They also welcome guest Charlotte Verity, who shares updates about her jewellery business and introduces new Primordial cufflinks.
They then get on to upcoming events and the vibrant heavy music scene, discussing the challenges of budgeting for concerts amidst a flurry of new releases and tours. They discuss the rise of bands like Sleep Token and the resurgence of Linkin Park, while also reflecting on the cultural impact of iconic moments like SNL's 'More Cowbell' sketch (which terrifyingly is almost 25 years old!)

With Twitter (X) in decline, is Blue Sky the next big tool for bands to engage their audience?
In this episode of Primordial the Podcast, Moose and Pete Bailey reconnect to reflect on their time apart, opening up about personal struggles, identity crises, and the hurdles of working in the music industry. They share insights into rebuilding their relationship with music and the valuable lessons they've taken from past challenges.
Social media also takes centre stage as they analyze the decline of Twitter (now X)—marked by a shrinking user base and waning influence - and the growing appeal of platforms like Blue Sky and TikTok. They discuss how these shifts impact music promotion and highlight YouTube’s enduring dominance as a platform for creating engaging, audience-friendly content.
In addition, they delve into the current state of rock music, celebrating emerging headliners like Sleep Token while discussing the difficulties classic rock bands face in attracting younger fans.
The episode wraps up with thoughtful reflections on the lessons learned and an optimistic outlook for the future of their community and content approach.

Moose and Dews catch up this week with the surprising news of potential ticket scams concerning the now sold-out Big Bang 7 for next year! It feels like a badge of honour tbh, but it's important that no-one falls for these scammers.
There's also the latest on merch, tartan and why Dewsbury is barred from attending the whisky-tasting session prior to Burns Night in January.
