60 Minutes or less’ - the podcast from Birthday Cake For Breakfast - ups the cool factor for episode eighteen, featuring a big chat with all three members of ripper trio Demob Happy - Matthew Marcantonio, Thomas Armstrong and Adam Godfrey!


Formed in Newcastle upon Tyne around 15 years ago, Demob Happy have put out three full length records in that time, on top of a handful of singles and other releases. Oh, and they just happened to support Jack White on the UK leg of his world tour in 2018 - hand-picked by the man himself by all accounts. They did all this whilst looking cucumber cool in the process, no doubt - a stylish bunch for sure. 


In May 2023, Demob Happy released their latest album ‘Divine Machines’. Almost a year later, we caught up with the trio ahead of a show at the Arts Club in Liverpool.

 

If you love background noise, you are gonna get a kick out of this! Finding near enough the only green space just outside of Liverpool city centre, the whole Scouse population seemed to descend upon the area when we sat down to record. With footballs whizzing past, full conversations in earshot and a very friendly dog on the loose, we still managed to take a real deep-dive into what makes up Demob Happy, touching on aesthetics and fashion, toxic masculinity, growing up in the North East and, of course, Alan Shearer.
