Summary
Highlights
Jen and Jack welcome viewers to RawSound TV, the internet's best live music show, promising new music from featured bands Forks and My Last Duchess, plus bonus tracks from Mantis Defeats Jaguar and Songdog. They also encourage subscriptions and donations.
The band Forks kicks off the show with a musical performance.
My Last Duchess takes the stage to perform their song "Solitaire".
The hosts interview My Last Duchess about their underground status, the Birmingham circuit, their band's genre (indie-punk), how they met (two are twins), and the origin of their name which is based on a GCSE English poem for marketing. They also discuss their upcoming album recording in February 2024 and upcoming (jokingly announced) shows including Glastonbury.
My Last Duchess participates in a quick-fire round, sharing their proudest accomplishments (learning guitar notes, screaming loudly, drum distinctions), inspirational mentors (GG Allan, Ashton Owen), guilty pleasures (Britney Spears, Taylor Swift), admired musicians (Bono), best part of playing a gig (finishing, getting money, playing with others, throwing sticks), and desired festival to play (Glastonbury, local festivals).
Mantis Defeats Jaguar performs a bonus track.
Songdog performs a bonus track. Listeners are directed to episode 6 for more from Mantis Defeats Jaguar.
My Last Duchess returns for a second performance, playing their song "Temperamental".
The hosts interview Forks about their recently released DIY EP, recorded in a shed, and their history as a band, evolving from a covers band to creating original music. They explain their current sound's New Wave influences and plans for future releases.
Forks responds to rapid-fire questions about what unites them as a band (guitar solos), the best gig they've attended (Royal Blood at Glastonbury), essential albums (Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures, Sufjan Stevens' Carrie & Lowell, ZZ Top's La Grange), creative inspirations (making different sounds, musical vulnerability, the synergy between them), and what they'd buy with unlimited money (bigger studio, more equipment, guitars).
As the show concludes, Forks performs their song "Drift".
