With\u00a0\u2018Gimme 5!\u2019<\/a>\u00a0we take a peek into the collections of artists we admire. The premise is simple: artists WE like share five records THEY love. Photo credit: James Douglas\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the down low. We asked Speedways frontman Matt Julian to drop a Gimme 5<\/em> feature onto our doorstep. It turned out he (and the rest of the band) had a lot more to say, which quickly snowballed into an interview. So we split things up: last week we ran the interview<\/a>, and this week we\u2019re stoked to share Matt\u2019s list.<\/p>\n

In it, he picks five albums that helped spark The Speedways into life in the first place. Make sure to also check Matt\u2019s interview at Faster and Louder<\/em><\/a> for even more background on what\u2019s been going on with him and the band.<\/p>\n

By the time I\u2019d made it through all the Speedways content, I was fully fired up for new material from the band. Good news: the wait shouldn\u2019t be long. For now, dive in and enjoy the read and the (classic!) records.<\/p>\n

“I could have chosen any of the early Beatles albums, but this one is a personal favourite. It\u2019s impossible not to sing along to every song. The Beatles mean everything to me. I\u2019m obsessed.”
