What's that coming over the hill? It's The Automatic! The Welsh band made a stunning breakthrough with hit single Monster in 2006 and debut album Not Accepted Anywhere was a big seller.
Lead singer and bass player Robin Hawkins and drummer Iwan Griffiths tell The Boys in the Band Podcast how Monster was written - and how its success changed the direction of the band.
They also reflect on how their search for more pop hits led to Alex Pennie leaving the band, reveal a frustrating tale of how another single was denied a top 10 spot, and discuss the prospects of them returning to the stage once again.
