9: Art Brut - From forming a band to playing with Oasis, indie dust-ups, Emily Kane, and comic book heroes
With distinctive lyrics and a punk rock sound, Art Brut became cult heroes during the 2000s indie scene. Their songs about former girlfriends, little brothers and modern art made Bang Bang Rock & Roll one of the standout albums from the era. Here, lead singer Eddie Argos tells The Boys in the Band Podcast about the band's journey - but also how he impressed the Gallagher brothers with his Half Man Half Biscuit knowledge and why he became the focus of a Berlin University lecture! Plus, Eddie chats comic books, painting - and plans for a new album... Art Brut fan?
