Maybe it isn't entirely fair to compare a band to a jug of milk or a loaf of bread. But one thing all of these things have in common is that when the freshness is gone - they all go bad.
On this episode of Extended Play I ask: Do Bands Have a Best-Before Date? I check in both bands and fans such as F**ked Up's Damian Abraham, Andrew Gunn of the late, great Deadly Snakes; also comedian/broadcaster Dave Shumka explains why Weezer might just have reached their date and Q host host Jian Ghomeshi makes a case for the vintage-quality of Radiohead.
And as much as it pains me to say this, I admit that The Smiths didn't exceed their shelf life.
