The Guest List join Adam and Kitty in the Indie Tea Talk studio for an in-depth conversation about one of the most exciting rises in UK indie music.

Having recently seen the band perform at the Isle of Wight Festival, we sat down to discuss their journey from posting covers on TikTok to selling out headline shows and appearing on some of the UK's biggest festival stages.

The conversation explores the stories behind the music, writing songs that tackle real issues affecting young people, working alongside James Skelly of The Coral, and why grassroots organisations like This Feeling continue to play such an important role in supporting emerging artists.

Alongside the interview, The Guest List perform two exclusive live sessions, recorded especially for Indie Tea Talk.

In this episode we discuss:

• The road from TikTok to festival stages

• Isle of Wight Festival 2026

• Songwriting inspired by real life

• Mental health and modern society

• Working with James Skelly

• Manchester's music scene

• The importance of grassroots venues

• What's next for The Guest List
