57: The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster - Sym Gharial on Brighton and bass lines, Liam Gallagher's favourite music video, and a surprising movie role

<div>This week on <strong>The Boys in the Band Podcast </strong>we talk to <strong>Sym Gharial</strong> from <strong>The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster,</strong> the hard rocking band from Brighton, about their three albums, wild live shows, and a music video which Liam Gallagher named as a favourite!<br>   <strong> <br> </strong>The band's music was picked up by advertisers and movie-makers - leading to a surprise appearance in Shaun of the Dead! - but away from the commercial space this was a band with a close connection to the fans which followed them. <br> <br> We discuss their rise, their attitude to the rest of the scene at the time, and how they captured that live show intensity on records. <br> <br> </div> <div> <strong>The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster fan?
