Listen Yonaka, Demob Happy and more on the new DIY Podcast
We’re down in Brighton at The Great Escape.
There’s a new episode of the DIY Podcast in the world! Us, along with many of the UK’s - and world’s - music fanatics headed to Brighton for The Great Escape last week, catching sets from hot newcomers and a few old favourites alike across the event’s three days.
Read our reviews of the Thursday, Friday and Saturday by clicking each particular day.
We talk to Yonaka as they launch new single ‘FWTB’ at Brighton Youth Centre, to Demob Happy hot on the heels of them releasing new album ‘Holy Doom’, to Aussie newcomer Hatchie who’s on her first live outing in the UK, and West Yorkshire trio Drahla, as they prepare to play the DIY Stage at Horatio’s at the end of the pier.
