This episode, we sit down with the little Nigel Nisbet the lyrics and riff machine in Electrasy. From the band's biggest anthems to the deep cuts that never made it past a dodgy four-track recorder, we dive into the real process of songwriting: inspiration, frustration, and the occasional bout of creative madness. Nigel spills the secrets behind some of Electrasy’s most iconic tracks, how a random jam session turned into a hit, and why some of their best ideas arrived at 3am in a haze of sleep deprivation and questionable life choices rather than by design. Expect wild stories from the studio, debates on which tracks aged like fine wine (or sour milk), and enough musical wisdom to make even your nan want to pick up a guitar. Plus, a few unexpected detours into the band’s more ridiculous moments—because no Electrasy story is complete without a bit of chaos. Strap in—this one’s a ride! 🎸🔥

We also talk about how the music video landscape has changed over the years—going from big-budget productions on MTV to today’s DIY, social media-driven world.
