In Episode #203 of The XS Noize Podcast, host Mark Millar interviews Anton Newcombe, the visionary founder and driving force behind the legendary Brian Jonestown Massacre, one of the most compelling bands in modern music.

A true renaissance figure, Anton Newcombe is not only a frontman and prolific songwriter but also a composer, producer, engineer, multi-instrumentalist, studio owner, and dedicated father—a creative powerhouse whose influence resonates deeply in the music world.

He also shares insights on the new Brian Jonestown Massacre single, “Don’t Look at Me,” featuring Aimee Nash and gives an inside look at the band’s highly anticipated European and UK tour.
