Welcome to the Uncharted Sounds Podcast. Formerly known as The Uncharted 80’s Podcast, we’ve expanded our horizons to bring you even more of the music you love. With a fresh name comes fresh flexibility while we’ll still dive deep into the hidden gems of the 80s, we’re now exploring uncharted sounds from the 70s, 90s, and beyond. the format stays the same as we deliver informative and hopefully captivating band biographies and exclusive interviews with the artists who shaped these decades of music that were often under the radar and may have been forgotten by some. What they have in common in our view, is that their stories or their music has been uncharted. They may have left a lasting impact on some of us and it's time to celebrate them. Get ready to uncover their history, sounds, information, what we think and untold stories. We will talk to those that were involved and the impact they had on us and still do! Same passion for music, broader horizons.

The Men They Couldn't Hang - Episode 16 - Interview With Swill Odgers & Paul Simmonds

The Men They Couldn't Hang came together in 1984 to perform at the alternative music festival in Camden Town alongside The Pogues and the Boothill Foot Tappers. Paul Simmonds, Philip 'Swill' Odgers and his brother Jon, veterans of the Southampton-based pop-punk band Catch 22, met Pogues roadie Stefan Cush whilst busking in Shepherds Bush in London.

Their recordings have been acclaimed in print, on radio and online; from their definitive version of the anti war classic Green Fields of France to the anti fascist anthem Ghosts of Cable Street and the epic historical ballads, Ironmasters and The Colours. They are currently in the middle of their 40th anniversary tour and a Vol 1 & 2 Best of record is currently on release. Please see their faceBook Page - https://www.facebook.com/tmtchofficial

This episode features a short bio of the band and then an interview with Swill Odgers and Paul Simmonds (This starts at around 25.24 mins in) it was a pleasure to speak to them who were candid about the band and of course the tragic untimely death of Stefan Cush. They cover the songs, the background and right up to the 40th Anniversary dates and everything in between !. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it and of course always happy for feedback.
