Hello everyone. Welcome to the podcast. This episode is all about the story of a hardcore punk rock band from London.

Listen and you'll hear an interview with the band members as they talk about how the band started, their influences and what caused the band eventually to end.

The band is called Salvo.

They started in London in 2002, playing gigs in London, Oxford and Manchester before breaking up four years later.

This interview was done recently.

For the first time in years, most of the members of the group were all in the same room at the same time, so I had to take the opportunity to interview them for Luke's English podcast.

The members of this band are all my friends. I know most of them from my days at

Sixth Form College when I was a teenager. One of them is my brother James. I was also a member of the band for a year or two. The style of music is a little bit

hard to categorize. It's hard, fast guitar rock. It's pretty hardcore, but quite catchy too.

You can make up your own mind about the music,

as you'll hear some of it during the interview.

If you want to hear more of the music,

This is an authentic recording.

No one is really grading their English.

They're speaking in the same way that they speak to their friends.

The recording took place after a music session in a studio

and a short beer drinking session in the pub.

What you'll hear is natural British English as it really is spoken in this case by a group of friends who used to be in a band together sharing some memories over a few beers

Just before we start I'd like to say a few things about learning English.
