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.

Moose and Dews catch up once again this week... eventually. Tech issues notwithstanding, they have big news involving those four little words that all Primordial directors love to hear.
They also take a look at some of the excellent fake Download posters that have been doing the rounds recently.

This week Moose and Dews are once again joined by Metal For Good's Katy Baker, to look back at an excellent Metal Merch Day event. They also discuss the latest goings-on in their lives, and why Dewsbury's son will be allowed many things in his life, but never, NEVER a pet spider. Ugh.

Primordial is built on six "pillars" which relate to pretty much everything we do; Music, Environment, Community, Mental Health, Fun, and Technology. We don't tend to discuss the tech pillar as much, as it can be a pretty dry subject, but Moose and Dews definitely get into that today!
Dews recently had his phone snatched, which means he's had to learn a LOT of unpleasant lessons very quickly. He and Moose chat this week about those lessons, in the hope that someone else can avoid having this happen to them.

Moose and Dews catch up again this week, ahead of Dews making a touristy trip to London. For a podcast by a radio station, there's a surprising amount of tourist information here tbh...
Amazingly, they do eventually end up talking business, with some excellent news about the recent Primordial annual subs cycle. There's also a heartfelt congratulations for the recently sold-out Bloodstock festival team, as well as some pie-in-the-sky Download musings.Check out our chosen charity Metal For Good and some of the great charity work they do here https://metalforgood.org/

Moose and Dewsbury reunite this week for what feels like the first time in ages, to answer the important questions; when does a forehead become a fivehead? And is Dews getting one? Oh dear.
They also have a great catch-up, before discussing the latest in the world of Primordial, and discussing a - possibly slightly cynical - move from one of the biggest names in heavy metal.

There's also a chat about the surprise re-emergence of Linkin Park, and the guys pay tribute to a giant of the UK heavy music industry.

Dews had a bad-dad moment and accidentally introduced his 2-year-old son to the musical joys of the late, great DMX shortly before this podcast. Eek. Here's hoping the s-word, mf-word and n-word do not make an appearance at nursery.
He and Moose catch up again this week to look ahead to upcoming Primordial events including the Big Bang and Burns night, the latter of which will be going on-sale this week, timed perfectly to clash with the biggest music tour announcement of the year. Oops.

Moose and Dews catch up at an unusual time of day for this weeks' audio-only podcast, which can mean only one thing; beer.
They chat about Bloodstock, with bands, PRFam and interviews; how Moose had the best time since Dews wasn't there, and also talk about the changing media landscape with respect to influencers, particularly one who sells baked potatoes.
