Dave and Rob have the same dad. Only they didn’t meet until Rob was 16 ... and Dave was a lot older. That’s a lot of life to catch up on. And music – because whatever else they had in common, these long-lost brothers quickly realised they both really bloody loved music.
So, many years after that fateful first meeting – and separated by 1,000km – the estranged siblings launched this podcast. It’s super simple: every episode one brother introduces an album they love, that the other doesn’t know at all. They talk about what it means, and what it meant to them. Then at the end, the other brother selects the next episode’s subject … and, repeat.
Welcome, then, to a podcast about some music that at least one of us is convinced Your Brother Should Know. And you probably should, too.

The Midge Ure interview: on disbanding Ultravox, joining Thin Lizzy, passing on the Sex Pistols … oh, and Live Aid
In a Your Brother Should Know first, we publish an interview from Rob’s limited library of encounters with music’s great, good and mediocre. In the first category, we can safely file Midge Ure: guitarist, singer, songwriter, Live Aid founder, member of Thin Lizzy, Visage, and much more in between. Find out from the man himself what it's like to be simultaneously Brilliant (Ultravox, 2012) and Fragile (solo album 2014), where he stands on Scottish independence, and why he turned down the chance to be a Sex Pistol. If you’re really interested, then wind back to Rob and Dave’s companion episode on the classic Ultravox album Vienna, and find out just how much they got wrong about Midge’s life.
