I Formed A Band is a podcast that talks to people who formed bands about the part before they got famous: why did they do it, what did it take to get there, and what was life like when they were forming a band?
It’s hosted by Eddie Argos, who formed a band called Art Brut [https://open.spotify.com/artist/1gxXzfykdtDuod56hPkYyr?si=mGwglsEATe6pJI6atckAKg] and sings a song called Formed A Band [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qryAwfpHG8o]; and Joe Sparrow, who did not form a band [https://terelinck.com/], but probably should have done.
There’s a huge, secret story behind every successful band: a heady mix of ambition, desperation, perseverance, daydreams, sleeping on sofas, surviving hangovers in the back of a Transit van, and dumb luck. That's what this podcast is about.
(And it's also about compiling The Argos Catalogue: a comprehensive collection of Eddie's various stories of meeting members of the Wu-Tang Clan in a lift, or singing Half Man Half Biscuit songs with Liam Gallagher, etc)

The Argos Catalogue – the time Eddie had horseshit thrown at him by Selfish C*nt outside Buckingham Palace; proposes a TV show with him and Half Man Half Biscuit; when he accidentally ghosted Lawrence from Felt and more...
Ep. 6: In our most faeces-tastic episode yet, we once again read out a mixture of ABSOLUTELY REAL and QUITE DUBIOUS listener letters to try to capture the life, times and tribulations of the lah-di-dah indie gad-about-town Eddie Argos.
We're aiming to document the life, times and tribulations of Eddie Argos – and boy did we find out some... surprising and turd-adjacent stuff. In this episode, Eddie:
> RECALLS when he had shit thrown at him by the band Selfish Cunt outside Buckingham Palace;
> SUDDENLY REMEMBERS that he has already written a musical;
> PROPOSES a coast-to-coast Roman road walk TV show with Half Man Half Biscuit;
> CRINGES at the time he sort-of ghosted Lawrence from Felt/Denim;
> MUSES on another of Eddie's terrible jobs (as a postman);
> REVEALS his favourite band that's named after an animal;
> GASPS as ChatGPT manages to spookily read Eddie's mind.
There's also a bonus section which is a very Indie music Would You Rather? quiz.
