Footless tights, faded band tees, skinny jeans, winklepickers, anything from American Apparel—this was the uniform of “indie sleaze,” the debauched and dirty aesthetic of the noughties U.K. indie music scene. A new podcast looks back on the era of Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand, and The Kooks, speaking with its biggest players to understand the true singularity of the period. Interviewees include Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand, Luke Pritchard of The Kooks, and Pete Doherty of The Libertines. —Paulina Prosnitz
