When you load up Spotify, a great big chunk of the time you can’t think what to play, right? You default back to your old favourites, those albums and songs you played on repeat when you first discovered you could make them yours.
This isn’t about guilty pleasures; it’s about those songs you’ll still be listening to when you’re old and in your rocking chair. So, enter Teenage Kicks – a playlist series that sees bands running through the music they listened to in their formative years.
The Maccabees - Pelican
First mosh pit, Latitude Festival 2013. The irony of moshing to The Maccabees at Latitude is not lost on me.
Catfish and the Bottlemen - Cocoon
Remember vividly going to see them at the O2 Academy in Leicester when they toured their first album, hung around for ages after to get a really embarrassing picture of me and my friends with Van McCann, and my mum was fuming cuz she was on double yellows waiting to pick us all up.
