Welcome to ’60 Minutes or less’ - the podcast from Birthday Cake For Breakfast - where for our second episode of 2025 we look to Chicago, joined by our very special guest, Brian Case of FACS!

Cooler than cool, FACS have been on the radar for a number of years now, with each new release better than the next. No strangers to Birthday Cake For Breakfast, we’ve had a back and forth with the trio over the years, so thought it only right to have Brian get involved with the podcast!

In February 2025, FACS will release their sixth album ‘Wish Defense’ via their longtime home of Trouble In Mind Records. Rather uniquely, the album is the last record engineered by Steve Albini, he who produced records for - oh, you know - the likes of Pixies, Nirvana, The Jesus Lizard and all your other favourite artists.

We spoke of Albini and Electrical Audio when we caught up over Zoom in January, where we also touched on what it’s like having a son’s band signed to Matador, the joy of discovering something new before we had the internet, the scene in Chicago and listening to music whilst walking the dog.
