Welcome to Hellish, where we ask our guests for the five tracks they will meet in Hell.
Episode six brings us to musician and composer IAIN COOK. Iain is one third of the band CHVRCHES and one half of new project Protection. We talk the Beano universe, what exactly the rules are when it comes to a song universally adored that you cannot stand, whether or not CHVRCHES ever ride around on BMX bikes with their names on their t-shirts, and the worst job Iain has ever done. We also reveal three more of Alex's Coldplay Connections in what we hope will not become a regular feature.
Listen to Iain's music on Spotify: CHVRCHES and Protection ('Still Love You' is a BANGER)
