A Badge Of Friendship’s New Music Show on FUBAR Radio

A Badge Of Friendship’s New Music Show on FUBAR Radio

Since April, we here at A Badge of Friendship have been crazying up the airwaves with our weekly new music show on FUBAR Radio. Although we’re a music PR company, our FUBAR show has been a great way for us to showcase the brilliant new bands we’re digging on a weekly basis that aren’t on our roster. The show goes out online via FUBAR’s website, but listeners can also check out the show via the Fubar Radio app via iTunes.

So far, we’ve had some brilliant guests on the show including Jay Baruchel (How To Train Your Dragon), The Twilight Sad, Mike Vennart, Funeral For A Friend, Torche and Simon Neil (Biffy Clyro) who called in recently to surprise Paul on his birthday.

From September 7th, the time of the show will be changing to 6-8pm, right after comedian James Acaster and we’re mixing up the old format with new weekly features.

Our Session of the Month feature will be hosted by Sofar Sounds, who’ll be joining us once a month in the studio. Watch out for that!

We’ll also be doing country / city specials. In episode 10 we focussed on Canada and episode 19 was a Scottish special featuring guests James from The Twilight Sad and Halina, founder of Scottish based website Podcart.

The usual features will return, albeit monthly – World of Weird, Label Love and Pass The Cheese. Plus we have some brilliant guests planned for the months ahead as well as the usual surreal chat and nonsense.

Armando Iannucci, Idlewild guitarist Rod Jones, US alt-metal band Torche and ex-Oceansize frontman Mike Vennart and comedian Dave Hill are amongst some of the guests confirmed for April and May with more to be announced soon.

Presented by Claire Lim, Paul McCallum and Ed Williams, the show will include new music and topical chat but, most importantly, the ABoF crew aim to put the fun back into music.

A Badge of Friendship founders Claire and Paul met in Glasgow via Paul’s friends Biffy Clyro. Shortly after, they moved to London together and started putting on DIY shows around the city including shows for The Twilight Sad, Hell Is For Heroes, Jeffrey Lewis and Sucioperro. Their thirst for new music took on new meaning when they re-launched A Badge of Friendship as a PR company in 2009. Ed Williams joined the ABoF posse a year later and the rest is history.

A Badge of Friendship are dedicated to pushing new and interesting talent to the masses and have worked on an array of campaigns from comedian Doug Stanhope’s DVD release to Last.fm, cult Scottish band Idlewild to cutting edge DIY labels like Berlin based collective Sinnbus and Glaswegian label BLOC.

With A Badge of Friendship on the scene, Mondays are all about new music on FUBAR Radio.

You can listen to the show live online or download episodes via the FUBAR app.
