Stream a playlist of tracks drawn from the discography in Trip Or Squeek's Big Amplifier, a new anthology of Savage Pencil's Wire comic strips.

Savage Pencil introduces his playlist: "Here’s a randomly chosen set of tracks that relate to the discography section of my new Trip Or Squeek book. This is the kind of stuff I listen to while I am hunched over my drawing table, a wide-ranging mix of rock, reggae, jazz and anything else that grabs me at the time. Enjoy!"
