The Guest List join Adam and Kitty in the Indie Tea Talk studio for an in-depth conversation about one of the most exciting rises in UK indie music.
Having recently seen the band perform at the Isle of Wight Festival, we sat down to discuss their journey from posting covers on TikTok to selling out headline shows and appearing on some of the UK's biggest festival stages.
The conversation explores the stories behind the music, writing songs that tackle real issues affecting young people, working alongside James Skelly of The Coral, and why grassroots organisations like This Feeling continue to play such an important role in supporting emerging artists.
Alongside the interview, The Guest List perform two exclusive live sessions, recorded especially for Indie Tea Talk.
In this episode we discuss:
• The road from TikTok to festival stages
• Isle of Wight Festival 2026
• Songwriting inspired by real life
• Mental health and modern society
• Working with James Skelly
• Manchester's music scene
• The importance of grassroots venues
• What's next for The Guest List
Whether you're already a fan of The Guest List or discovering them for the first time, this episode offers an honest insight into one of the UK's fastest-rising indie bands.

The Monday Smile - In Service to The Music
The Monday Smile Join Indie Tea Talk! DIY Music, NOTHING & Life Outside The Scene
Welcome to another captivating episode of the Indie Tea Talk Podcast! This time, we're thrilled to host The Monday Smile, a band built on independence, honesty, and doing things entirely on their own terms.
What’s Inside This Episode?
🎤 Dive into how The Monday Smile formed and built their sound outside of scenes and trends.
🎶 Explore the process behind writing, recording, and releasing their debut album NOTHING.
🌟 Discover the realities of DIY music, self-funding, and navigating the modern music industry.
🎸 Hear stories from the road, festival appearances, and building a genuine connection with fans.
🎧 This episode is packed with honest conversation, real experience, and live music.
The Monday Smile have spent the last two years creating music driven purely by passion and instinct. With no label backing and everything handled independently, they’ve written, recorded, mixed, and released their debut album NOTHING, played festivals including Victorious, and already have a second album recorded and on the way.
At the heart of the band is a belief that everything should be in service to the music — even if that means existing outside of trends or expectations.
