In this final episode of season 1 of Truth and Venom, Chris talks with Annie Dorrett of Brighton based electro-punk-pop band, CLT DRP.

Annie talks about how performing with CLT DRP has enabled and emboldened her over time to express things in a more direct, bold way than she would in her day to day life. She also discusses the wider socio-political issues that have had an increasingly importance influence on her writing.

Annie also talks about the importance of trying to compliment the energy that the other band members are bringing to a track as well as the stories behind some of her most personal lyrics.

In this episode of Truth and Venom, Chris talks with Mia Lust of Manchester based psychedelic-garage-post-punk band, Chemtrails.

Mia talks about her appreciation for lyrics that use words in a creative and often unexpected way and how she tries to emulate that approach with her own lyric writing. She also discusses challenging herself to try new methods and processes to elicit specific responses to her songwriting.

Mia also talks about the common themes in Chemtrails' lyrics across their three albums as well as how she uses strong and often surreal imagery to get those ideas and feelings across in a less direct way.
