#1 FanclubAuthor: Shawn Farmer & Craig Vennes
#1 Fanclub is the latest podcast project from Craig (Schizophrenic Music) and Shawn (The Hi-Fi Lo-Down) focused on Power Pop, Britpop and Shoegaze. The Beatles started the revolution but what happened after the breakup that rocked the world? Many bands followed in their footsteps and while none achieved the artistic and commercial success of the Fab Four, hundreds of great records have been recorded since John, Paul, George and Ringo called it quits. The stories of the next generation of bands deserves to be told. With deep research, attention to detail and fun conversation, Craig and Shawn discuss bands such as Big Star, Cheap Trick, Teenage Fanclub and many others that carried on the quest for pop perfection in a world without The Beatles.

Episode 13

Starting in the late 80's with Shoegaze and Madchester scenes, bands in the UK were rallying around their pride in all things Britain. In this episode, Craig and Shawn explore the origins of Britpop, what defines the genre, the bands that brought the scene to international recognition and end with their selections of the most Britpop song and the ultimate band of the movement.
