Sounds From The Ziggurat Podcast is a Podcast primarily about celebrating some of the unsigned, forgotten or perhaps just totally awesome tracks from mostly Brighton bands between the years of 2000-2010. We will feature chats with band members and promoters of the era and I will also recount some of my experiences of the scene and its myriad of venues. Alongside the old, I will also feature a new track or artist on each episode in a hope to showcase some of the great music still being produced.
