Welcome to ’60 Minutes or less’ - a podcast from Birthday Cake For Breakfast - where for episode 73, it’s one for the dance-heads, featuring an interview with vocalist Harry Hanson of Leeds-based outfit Adult DVD!

Up front in the sextet, in Adult DVD, Hanson paints vivid pictures with his words, with witty, observational lyrics over acid-laced, dance-punk bangers.

Having built up quite the reputation with their live show, their hotly tipped self-titled debut album arrived in September 2026 via Fat Possum Records. I caught up with Harry over Zoom a week ahead of release, where we spoke of the new record, as well as video games, Japanese fans, midday sangria and portion sizes in America.

Welcome to ’60 Minutes or less’ - a podcast from Birthday Cake For Breakfast - where for episode 72, it’s off to the natural world we go, featuring an interview with Ben Jones of Constant Smiles!

Ben Jones formed Constant Smiles in 2009 whilst he was living in Martha’s Vineyard - an island off the southern coast of Cape Cod - both of which sound like made up American place names from Nora Ephron films.

Based out of New York, in their time together, Constant Smiles has had varying lineups and put out many records, including a number of releases on Sacred Bones. In November 2025, Constant Smiles released latest album ‘Moonflowers’, their debut for Felte Records.

I caught up with Ben over Zoom in April 2026 from his place in New York. It came not long after a UK tour, with the lineup including players from friends of the podcast, Modern Nature. We spoke about the tour and the new record, as well as gardening, ghost stories and working on new material.

Welcome to ’60 Minutes or less’ - a podcast from Birthday Cake For Breakfast - where for episode 71, it’s the turn of Dan Hoff, vocalist in rowdy Irish punk outfit Gurriers!

Having formed during the pandemic, Gurriers first came to my attention at 2000 Trees Festival in 2023, putting on a blistering, no prisoners performance that suggested they would be ones to watch in future.

Cut to September 2026 and off the back of massive shows with the likes of Turnstile and Kneecap, the much anticipated second album from Gurriers, ‘Nobody's Coming To Save You’, arrives this month via Play It Again Sam.

A week ahead of its release, I managed to catch up with Dan during a brief break whilst the band were on tour in America. He did sound a bit underwater at times, but such is the case when you’re conversing with someone bang in the middle of nowheresville, USA!

We spoke of the new record, as well as trying to be an athlete on tour, performing on ‘Later… with Jools Holland’, Irish musicians and comparisons to The Fall.
