Ben Ayres is half of legendary Anglo-Indian band Cornershop and works as a press officer for Rough Trade Records. In this episode he tells me about the band's beginnings, working in a vinyl pressing factory and how he sees the future of music PR. Cornershop's new album 'England Is A Garden' is out now; it's fantastic and I implore you to check it out.
