In October 2020, we handed over What Do You Call That Noise? The XTC Podcast to a bunch of fans in their 20s. Time has passed and we’re ready to hear from an even newer generation of XTC fans who are as wise and articulate as the last. 

In a lively conversation, Ashley LeCron, Lexie Ward, Lee Saunders and Lewis Wilkinson share their enthusiasm not only for XTC but also the bands that led them to discover XTC.

And because it’s that time of year, they are in party spirit.

They’ve even put together a companion playlist.

What Do You Call That Noise? An XTC Discovery Book available from the Limelight Shop
