Before a song is released, a record is produced, or a chorus is written, the musicians that write them think. A lot. They live. A lot. And they feel. A LOT. Hosted by award-winning interviewer and radio host Sofia Loporcaro, Before the Chorus dives into the stories and experiences that shape these artists, and ultimately, the music we hear.

The Series D Retrospective With a grim air of finality and a total disregard for the attempt to turn this show into a terribly serious Space Opera, we look back over Series D of Blake’s 7 . Kicking off with a single offscreen death and ending with definitively killing off everyone else maybe, we tour a heretofore unexplored part of the Blake’s 7 universe in our clapped-out orange planet hopper. It’s a bold vision of the future where everything is various shades of ocean, military, and gunmetal grey because of George Lucas, and Soolin joins the crew for a reason we should find out any day now. From our new underground base we visit more quarries than ever before, on worlds like Caspar, Domo, Mecron 2, Zerok, Betafarl, some forests on Bucol 2, Xenon, and Gauda Prime, swampy Helotrix, and the studios on Pharos, Virn and Malodar to break up the monotony. Join us as we look back at the time Blake’s 7 was unexpectedly saved from death only to be irrevocably killed again (they really mean it this time) in our Series D Retrospective.…

Will ever they learn to trust again? Or at least to let people finish speaking before opening fire?

But will he lose his head before the episode is out? Will Hannah end up hugged to death?

Is It an Emu? Traitor Series D, Episode 3. First broadcast on Monday, 12 October 1981. We’re on the planet Helotrix this week, enjoying our successful subjugation of a compliant populace consisting largely of teachers and hairdressers. The occupation is ably enforced by the supremely competent Si and his régime of casually deployed neutron strikes, while Nathan reminisces pompously about past imperial glories, and Pete conducts a surprising clandestine affair with that remarkable new police commissioner Sleer. (And somewhere, in the basement, Simon is devising a galactically effective new kind of roofie.) Until, of course, our day is ruined by a small band of barely competent outlaws, and then one of us — not sure who, to be honest — turns out to be a traitor.…

There’s also a war between the sexes this week, and while Una and Zoë are deploying their wit, tactical skill and powers of telekinesis, Nathan is embroidering a lovely throw rug, while James is rigging up a boxy plastic gaming PC in the basement. Still, there’s enough time for us to get together to ask the big questions: Is this Ben Steed’s worst script or his second worst script? Does Nathan really fancy Jarvik? And is the whole enterprise sexist, chauvinistic or misogynist — or an exciting mixture of all three?…

When a handsome stranger arrives on the planet Terminal and rescues the stranded Nathan, Pete, Peter, Si and Simon, it soon becomes apparent that he’s not the the dishy bleached-blond hero they had all been hoping for — but a depraved old man whose beauty regimen involves botox, red wine and turning twinks into cheap Doctor Who monsters.

The Series C Retrospective And now on Maximum Power , it’s time to look back at Series C of Blake’s 7 . It’s been a wild ride, from the fatal shores of Sarran, to an almost fatal sickbay on the planet Chenga. From a radioactive volcano on Obsidian to an impossible realm on the other side of a black hole. From an alien-harvest on the planet Kairos to an altercation with Bayban the Butcher. We’ve been on a mission to save the children of Auron, and in search of our long lost love, been taken over by a golden-skinned alien with a fabulous perm, and watched in shock as the grey-skinned Ultras pressured our new shipmates Dayna and Tarrant into performing the human mating ritual. We’ve suffered the casual misogyny of Moloch, casually death-watched one of the crew’s relatives be murdered, and finally arrived at our Terminal destination. But was it worth it, what was it all for? Join us for the Series C Retrospective.…
