Rejoice! We're back in the studio!
And we're joined from way out west by the returning Daithí and the debuting Peter Kelly, with both men in town to talk year two of Ireland's most unique and exciting new music and arts festival - Common Threads.
The boys also take on a lively news section and list off their five go-to tracks that you simply must throw on when the party starts to fade and the dance floor begins to evacuate.
Bangers only, naturally.
ACT ONE: We discuss the return of Common Threads and what it’s all about with the two masterminds behind the new festival.
ACT TWO (22:20): Marvel prove Dave's point, Elton John endorses Fontaines, Liam Gallagher loses the plot, and Jonker 2 draws ever closer - it's the news.
ACT THREE (41:17): Top 5 Party Revivers

Not like romantic dates, you understand. The ones on your calendar, that's what we mean.
And by 'we', we mean returning NO ENCORE original Colm O'Regan, who takes the co-host microphone up this week alongside Dave and Adam.
Before we get to this week's hijinks, a reminder that our Patreon is booming with bonus content right now:
Adam's latest Album Club is live and features a deep-dive into D'Angelo classic Voodoo, whilst Dave re-teams with Michael Pope for a brand new Film Club this Sunday, all about classic 1990 chiller Misery. Sign up at patreon.com/noencore for all extra audio.
As for this episode right here, it breaks down thusly:
ACT ONE (6:01): The week in music news takes in some feisty feud action in the world of rock as Jane's Addiction falls apart, Fontaines D.C. and Oasis throw some verbal broadsides at each other, and The Smiths do likewise. Meanwhile, Gene Simmons has his say, Mark Hoppus announces a new project, and music clashes with the beautiful game in doubly odd fashion.
ACT TWO (33:14): Top 5 Songs About Dates

Grab the overpriced popcorn and get ready to suffer through the songs and sounds you wish marketing departments and music supervisors would just leave well enough alone.
Dave and Adam are joined this week by Andy McCarroll, host of the excellent Extra Vision podcast and certified movie lover (and hater, should his vitriol prove valid), to navigate the creatively bankrupt world of lazy needle drops that are deployed way, way too often.
We've also got a packed news section that takes in everything from surprising infidelity to a highly divisive comeback.
Don't forget, you can get this and every new NO ENCORE episode 24 hours early and ad-free, AND additional bonus audio content by signing up to Patreon.com/NOENCORE.
ACT ONE (6:05): Taylor Swift endorses Kamala Harris, Dave Grohl has a confession to make, Linkin Park unveil a new singer and weather a storm of controversy in the process, Kendrick Lamar gives Drake a reason to skip next year's Super Bowl, Fyre Festival 2 is GO, the Blur/Oasis feud reaches its natural end point, and Dave and Adam ponder a road trip - it's the news.
ACT TWO (42:46): Top 5 Overused Needle Drops.

ACT ONE: For no real justifiable reason, Dave and Brian detail the motion picture Flora & Son along with Brian's difficult interview with the man who made it.
ACT TWO (12:38): Oasis fallout, Brad Pitt strangeness, Britney Spears cinematics, Nick Cave scrutiny, Jonker 2 hype, and the verdict on The Crow 2024 - it's the news.

A national emergency (not really) provokes a bonus NO ENCORE (yes, really) as Dave Hanratty attempts to wrap his head around the great Oasis ticketing scandal of 2024.
What a difference a week and some last-minute dynamic pricing make, eh? Last Saturday has been and gone, and so too have the hopes and dreams of many crushed Britpop fans.
As for those who found their way to the top of a very long queue? Well, they either walked away in protest at a sudden colossal spike in ticket prices, or they're going to be budgeting hard for the next month to come.
Call it dynamic pricing, call it an 'in demand' ticket, call it the price of doing ruthless business, call it plain old greed - whatever the phrasing, Liam and Noel Gallagher find themselves counting an awful lot of cash as many disgruntled fans suffer the cost.
On this episode, Dave is joined by Jim Carroll, RTÉ Brainstorm editor and former (well, mostly) outspoken music journalist of renown, to examine the questionable mechanics of the Mancunian money machine.

Sink your teeth into an irresistibly tasty episode of NO ENCORE as the great Fionnuala Jones returns to the co-host microphone in a bid to rescue Dave from his post-Blink-182 hangover.
We've got the full review of the Mark, Tom, and Travis Show: Dublin Edition, as well as the sweetest songs that money can help produce.
And speaking of Blink, our upcoming Album Club keeps the focus on the punk trio, with Adam's ode to comeback album One More Time landing on the Patreon feed this Sunday.
Don't miss episode two of Film Club over there, too - patreon.com/noencore for weekly bonus content.
As for this episode, it breaks down like this:
ACT ONE (3:49): Dave and Adam review the Blink-182 gig, the Oasis reunion prompts some full-blooded commentary, Macklemore continues to be sound, Charli XCX distances herself from politics, and Machine Gun Kelly calls out Randy Orton - it's the news.

We missed you, we missed you.
NO ENCORE returns with checkerboard Vans, three-quarter-length shorts, Warped Tour t-shirt, and lip ring - side piercing, natch - all in tow as we stage-dive head-first into the career of rambunctious, implosive San Diego pop-punk icons Blink-182.
Dave Hanratty and Sonic Architect Adam welcome arts journalist and broadcaster, and dedicated Blink disciple Chris Wasser - he has the ink to prove it - to the studio co-host chair in honour of the recently reformed trio's hopeful return to Dublin in the coming days.
Hopeful in that the mood in the Blink camp is quite harmonious these days, and hopeful in the sense that oh for the love of god please let the gig actually go ahead this time, thank you.
Don't miss out on exclusive Patreon bonus content - episode two of the NO ENCORE Film Club lands this Sunday, talking divisive Danny Boyle and Leonardo DiCaprio team-up The Beach. Hit up patreon.com/noencore for access.
ACT ONE: A preamble in which we ramble.
ACT TWO (9:40): Melvin Benn brings the curtain down on Electric Picnic for another year, Ireland officially inspires David Grohl and the Foo Fighters which also sparks a lengthy chat about criticism, a Donald Trump/Taylor Swift collision, James Hetfield auctions himself off, Olivia Rodrigo embraces a cat-like lifestyle, and Disney goes pop-punk - it's the news!
ACT THREE (42:17): Top 5 Blink-182 Songs.

This ain't a scene, it's a goddamn podcast.
Normal business resumes following last week's debut Film Club offering as Hugh Carr of iRadio fame returns to the co-host microphone, and he's got five bulletproof Fall Out Boy songs with him in honour of this week's rather nostalgia-fuelled main event.
Throw in a stacked news section and it's all to play for on NO ENCORE this week.
Don't forget, you can get this and every new NO ENCORE episode 24 hours early and ad-free, AND additional bonus audio content by signing up to Patreon.com/NOENCORE.
ACT ONE (4:20): Following the tragic and untimely passing of Eoin French aka Talos, we try to find some words to honour the man's memory and the wonderful music he leaves behind.
ACT TWO (10:10): Our weekly news section features a typically ebullient Melvin Benn, the Olympics closing ceremony overloading Shazam, Nine Inch Nails providing a valid reason to see a Jared Leto movie, Kurt Cobain sparking a thoroughly modern debate, Ian Wright being awesome, a producer of a classic pop song sounding off, and the most important songs of Bryan Danielson's life.
ACT THREE (45:25): Top 5 Fall Out Boy Songs.

A change of pace this week as we introduce our new stream of Patreon-exclusive bonus content with a feature-length free sample.
Joining the already-established Album Club is the NO ENCORE Film Club, in which Dave Hanratty and ex-Le Galaxie hitman Michael Pope convene to discuss the plot mechanics, onscreen standout performances, offscreen production anecdotes, and overall pop culture legacy of a chosen film.
Unlike the currently-on-hiatus NO POPCORN, there does not need to be a music-related connection to the motion picture in question, so it’s a free-for-all of cinematic offerings - both good and bad - that take our fancy.
And so the boys kick things off in boisterous cyberpunk style with 1995 box office bomb turned cult favourite - HACKERS. A chilling vision of things to come, or a crazy swing-and-miss attempt to capture sexy technological zeitgeist and future all at once?
Dave and Michael run through the plot, soundtrack, casting, and general notoriety of a film that confounded critics yet created a die-hard community that persists to this day.
The first episode of Film Club is free to all ears. Subsequent episodes will be housed exclusively at patreon.com/noencore and will drop on the second Sunday of the month, alternating between new episodes of Album Club. If you like what you hear and want more, please consider supporting our show.
And remember; HACK THE PLANET~!

Battle rap enthusiast Rudi Kinsella takes the coveted 'featured artist' tag as this week's NO ENCORE co-host, and he's only here to run down a bunch of off days and cash grabs by some of the best in the verbal business.
It's time to highlight some of the best rappers in the game unleashing some of their most pathetic work ever recorded, all in the name of a special guest verse on someone else's track.
Meanwhile, there's a.... fairly quiet news section. One of those weeks, sorry!
Don't forget, you can get this and every new NO ENCORE episode 24 hours early and ad-free, AND additional bonus audio content by signing up to Patreon.com/NOENCORE.
ACT ONE (7:05): Dave Matthews provokes an odious story, Green Day piss off the MAGA crowd, Gojira rock and shock the Olympic Games, the Sinéad O'Connor waxwork upsets everyone, and will we ever be free of The Kooks? It's the news.
ACT TWO (40:21): Top 5 Bad Features by Good Rappers.

This month, Sonic Architect Adam returns to the visual realm of the music industry for the first since late 2022 to speak to photographer (and sometimes tour manager and guitar tech) Glen Bollard.
If you have any interest in live shows or follow any Irish music publications, there's a 99% chance you've seen one of Glen's pictures. He's photographed acts on-stage such as Billie Eilish, Metallica, Foo Fighters, Hozier, Post Malone, U2, Elton John and Stevie Wonder, as well as shooting live album covers for the likes of You Me At Six, and has had a shot of Biffy Clyro adorn the covers of Total Guitar Magazine.
In this episode we discuss the inspirations and connections from the music world to the visual, as well as the many pinch-points of the industry in what could be one of the most open and honest discussions about sustainability in the music industry this series has seen to-date.
*If you'd like to get this episode and all NO ENCORE episodes a full 24 hours earlier and ad-free, check us out over on Patreon here.*

NO ENCORE returns following Dave Hanratty's confectionery clown and professional wrestler-assisted birthday and subsequent bout with Covid-19! He's mostly refreshed if also understandably a little tired.
Thankfully, the great Clare Martin of Paste Magazine and the recent episode we did about Swifties fame is here to inject some life - and some good fortune - into proceedings.
It's all about the concept of luck this week, per Clare's chosen Top 5. So spin the wheel and see if your numbers come in. Or something.
Don't forget, you can get this and every new NO ENCORE episode 24 hours early and ad-free, AND additional bonus audio content by signing up to Patreon.com/NOENCORE.
ACT ONE (7:01): Dave finally confronts Brat Summer, Tenacious D are no more, Jonker 2 is back on the menu, the 'should we ban phones at shows?' debate rages on, and an inspired birthday present keeps things on the positive.
ACT TWO (45:02): Top 5 Lucky Numbers

Welcome, welcome, to the second instalment of our Patreon-exclusive Album Club series, in which we pick an album we love - or have strong feelings about in one way or another - and attempt to express our relationship with it, and the act in question.
Dave takes the reins this time around and the subject is a short-lived trio by the name of Reuben and their third - and final - album, In Nothing We Trust.
So, cast your mind back to 2007 and whatever terrible fashion choices you made then, and allow Dave to recall his brief love affair with a band that proved to be perhaps a bit too shouty and clever-clever for a proper mainstream jaunt.
