Inside the Soundscape: A Conversation with BANNERS on ‘All Back to Mine’

In Episode #175 of The XS Noize Podcast, host Mark Millar speaks to award-winning Liverpudlian pop singer, and songwriter BANNERS (aka Michael Nelson) about his new album All Back to Mine.

BANNERS is known for his effervescent melodies and immensely relatable lyrics about the human condition. With Nelson’s latest full-length, All Back to Mine, it’s safe to say he owns a market share in feel-good anthems streamlined to soundtrack your best life.

The album includes his highly praised singles The Best View In Liverpool, Anywhere For You, Have You Ever Loved Someone, Name In Lights, Tell You I Love You, and C’est La Vie and the mesmerising single Perfectly Broken (Duet Version) featuring the soulful voice of America’s Got Talent 2022 breakout star Lily Meola.

In this interview, Michael Nelson discusses the writing and recording of All Back to Mine. We also discuss his favourite BANNERS songs, songwriting, his love for Liverpool and more. Listen to episode #175 of The XS Noize Podcast with BANNERS (aka Michael Nelson) – BELOW:
