'All farewells should be sudden when forever' as the old saying goes - just ask The Verve. So, get that helpline set up: after three series and four years, Demo Tapes is ending for good. But like many of our favourite bands, we couldn't split without putting out a 'best-of'.
In this final episode, we look back on some of our favourite clips from the interviews we did for the show, including amazing insights from the likes of Blur, The Enemy, The Twang, Reverend and the Makers and 'Giddy Stratospheres' director and star Laura Jean Marsh. We also revisit the greatest anecdote of all time courtesy of Arctic Monkeys album cover star and documentary-maker Chris McClure.
Elsewhere, we discuss the explosion in noughties nostalgia since DT started - not least that infamous Indie Sleaze Instagram account (https://www.instagram.com/indiesleaze/) that everyone's been talking about - and give the world the answers they've been demanding on why we're ending the show.
