In episode #136 of The XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar meets Matt Bowman from The Pigeon Detectives to discuss their long-awaited new album ‘TV Show.’

Produced by the renowned Rich Turvey (Blossoms, The Coral, Oscar Lang), their new album TV Show looks to cement a rebirth within the band’s legacy. After storming the stage at countless festivals in the summer of 2022, The Pigeon Detectives quickly became one of the more talked about names on the circuit once again, feeding the public’s need for anthemic indie-rock tunes after years of isolation and social distancing.

In this interview, Matt Bowman talks about the return of the band, writing and recording TV Show, upcoming live shows and lots more.  Listen to episode #136 of The XS Noize Podcast with Matt Bowman – BELOW:
