Yup, you read it right. This is the last ever SUBSonik podcast that we are ever gonna do from our box room in the heart of S-o-T.

You can download the podcast by clicking here

You can also stream it by going to www.subsonik.co.uk

The main reason we're finishing is that we don’t have the time, and finances to continue ‘Sonik as we want to, and the thing is we wanna spend the time we do have hanging out and making our own music, actually contributing to the very scene we’ve been backing.

We've spent more than 12 years playing in bands, going to gigs, supporting the scene around Stoke, Staffs and Cheshire. Over the last 4 years that’s also been in the guise of either BBC SUBCulture and SUBSonik.

In that last 4 years, we’ve met some amazing people and made some new friends who will be mates for life. If you’ve ever played a session for us, sent us a tune, invited us to a gig, bought us a beer, or generally appreciated the show – big love and thanks goes out to you. It’s been a blast, but as they say all good things must come to an end.

For the final ‘cast we picked a bunch of bands that have supported us over the years….(for the final time) Enjoy!

Love, Matt and Dave

Wax on, Wax off - on this weeks SUBSonik podcast (www.subsonik.co.uk) everybody was Kung Fu Fighting (well,just Dave) as he showed us his Wu-Tang marshall arts style.

To be honest, we all need a bit of self defence especially if Eastenders Pat Butcher does what he threatened on this weeks podcast too - just pray zombie Frank doesn't join in.

As well as all the usual shenanigans and nonsense (and a few beers for Hamers birthday) Matt and Dave played the finest new tunes coming out of Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire and Cheshire, including never-heard-before tunage from the likes of Advantage, Scams and Nervaxis.

Having the right type of footwear can be very important and on this weeks SUBSONIK podcast (www.subsonik.co.uk) Dave finds the harsh reality of being on a rambling holiday ill-equipped, and finding out why hikers aren't fans of Faith No More....

Plenty of musical debate on this weeks show too, where Matt and Dave discussed the merits of trad metal (Mustaine meets Aker Bilke), why stupid fringes usually mean rubbish bands and why is Jo Whiley? (No, the end of this sentence isn't missing - just WHY IS Jo Whiley???)

PLus we had the usual smorgasboard for you to feast on the rich pickings of talented musicians and bands from the Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire, and Cheshire carressing your eardrums with the finest new choons - including brand spanking new stuff from Heart of the Sun, Mauskramp, DJ Fresh and Kill the Young....

In true Derren 'dumbass' Brown style we successfully predicted that this weeks SUBSonik podcast (www.subsonik.co.uk) would bring you the best new music from Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire and Cheshire (but without talking backwards at level crossings, and having crap beards.)

On this weeks show you can bear witness to the creation of a new calypso-hip-hop supergroup ‘Tesco Mango’, and discover a new use for the singer Seal – and it’s not crooning his way through ‘Kiss from a Rose’.

Plus we had brand new, never-heard-before tracks by Bonfires, Hands of Hate and Hollywood Tease…

Ok, ok so we've been on holiday - ! But this weeks SUBSonik podcast (www.subsonik.co.uk) is back from the summer holidays and back to kicking ass first and asking questions later!

On the show this week you can try out Dave's new game to play while sitting in the car in a traffic jam. Let's just say it involves animals, bodily functions and a really bad Vernon Kay impression!

Matt and Dave also learnt the importance of reading your e-mail before you do the show and played some good cop, bad cop, but who's Cagney and who's Lacey?

Plus we had brand new, never-heard-before tracks by Scams, All About Eden and The Decision...

You can hear it for yourself by visiting www.subsonik.co.uk where we've also got a kick ass new gig section!!!!!!
