#1 Fanclub

#1 Fanclub is the latest podcast project from Craig (Schizophrenic Music) and Shawn (The Hi-Fi Lo-Down) focused on Power Pop, Britpop and Shoegaze. The Beatles started the revolution but what happened after the breakup that rocked the world? Many bands followed in their footsteps and while none achieved the artistic and commercial success of the Fab Four, hundreds of great records have been recorded since John, Paul, George and Ringo called it quits. The stories of the next generation of bands deserves to be told. With deep research, attention to detail and fun conversation, Craig and Shawn discuss bands such as Big Star, Cheap Trick, Teenage Fanclub and many others that carried on the quest for pop perfection in a world without The Beatles.
