Damnation Vs Svalbard

Serena discusses the band's sudden departure from Holy Roar Records following allegations of serious sexual assault made against the label's owner.

What's next for the album that is due to drop in just a couple of weeks, the uncertain immediate future for the band and how they digested the news along with the public in a stressful 24 hours.

She also talks about the challenges of life on the road as a woman artist, dealing with sexism and creeps and how the scene has changed - for the better! - in the eight years since Svalbard appeared.

And hopes for 2021 from a "bucket list" show on Bloodstock's main stage to back up plans should their tour with The Ocean fall through.

We go again, every Thursday morning.
