Years before, Picture This band member Jimmy never would've thought that conversations with bandmate Ryan as he drove him home in his car would turn into a fourth studio album, aptly named Parked Car Conversations, transforming the chats into an emotional 16-track ride on the album. Since then, the band have gone on to gain a hugely dedicated fanbase, an ever-growing bond between them, and have played shows all around the country,
Having released their new album parked Car Conversations, we revisit their Issue 15 Cover interview the hit Irish four-piece talking to me about their writing process for their upcoming album. They discuss the nerves and thrills of playing brand-new songs from the yet-to-be-released album right in front of lucky fans for the first time ever.

Deep in thought, James McVey sit’s opposite Editor-in-Chief Alice Gee as they record an episode of HATC podcast post shoot. In a studio in East London James gets candid about why now is the right time to focus on solo endeavours. After ten hugely successful years with The Vamps with many more to come, James feels a sense of stability as he reflects upon his personal experiences from the past couple of years, from getting married to mental health episodes and everything in between James opens up about coming full circle, embracing life and the magic of songwriting. The very thing he fell in love with 10 years ago.

The queen of Broadway has arrived! For Issue 12 I had the opportunity to sit down with Idina Menzel and talk all things, music, theatre, how she manages her anxiety as she’s found fame, the communities that lie at the heart of everything she does and of course her new album, Drama Queen.
The Tony Award winning, multi platinum selling singer songwriter has been at the heart of many cultural moments that I still hold close to my heart, from Wicked and Defying Gravity to being a cultural icon. I accepted pretty early on that I was going to fan girl hard, so here’s your chance to too. So, get comfortable for another episode of The Unheard Tapes. Welcome to the world that is Head Above The Clouds.

The Unheard Tapes throw back to our Issue cover story with the one and only Naomi Schiff from Issue 11. I’ve been a fan of Naomi’s for quite some time. Personally racing lights up my life especially Sunday afternoons so to chat with Naomi about her racing journey and success is a pinnacle moment. For me Naomi has always been an unapologetic woman powerhouse, paving the way for others in an often dominated male and under represented world of racing. Naomi opens up about her definition of winning and the balance and often huge sacrifice that comes alongside being at the top of your game.

This week we’ve come full circle with our HATC Magazine Unheard Tapes guest. For Issue 10 we got the chance to welcome back the one and only Gabrielle Aplin. For those who don’t know, Gabrielle featured as one of our very first covers us first for Issue 2 back in December 2020. To have her back for Issue 10 was an absolute privilege. Following on from our conversation two years prior, Gabrielle let’s me on how she is following her diagnosis of ADHD that she so candidly spoke with me about in our first conversation. I get to hear all about her new album, the making and progressiveness of Phosphorescent, and on the topic of growth Gabrielle shares a little more on being in the best place she’s ever been.
