On this raw and reflective episode of The Mixtape, we catch up with James McGovern, frontman of the critically acclaimed Irish post-punk band The Murder Capital.
James opens up about the band’s first-ever Australian tour, the emotional depths of their new album Blindness, and his deep love for vinyl records—both collecting and creating them. With poetic insight and a punk rock edge, James shares what drives their intense live performances and how their sound continues to evolve.
As always, we ask our guest to build a personal mixtape—a curated journey through the songs and artists that have shaped his artistic soul.
🎤 For fans of fearless songwriting, post-punk revival, and vinyl culture, this episode is a must-listen.
