My conversation with Nick Hannon from UK legends Sons of Alpha Centauri is a reminder that good things take time.

Nick and his songwriting partner of 20 years ,Marlon King, have mastered the slow burn of artistic integrity. Their latest album isn't only a gold rush of melody and charm, but a collaboration with some surprising turns. I'm not giving any of it away here, so you'll have to listen to the show. After you check out the conversation, make sure you head over to your favorite web browser, load up the Sons of Alpha Centauri band camp page, and get their new album PUSH, or buy some merch because that's what good little soldiers do.

Until then, enjoy this wonderful interview with an eloquent musical samurai. This is Nick Hannon on the Rockstar Superhero Podcast.
