On this episode of the It's Not A Phase podcast I'm joined by Nathan Barley Phillips who is a Senior A&R for Nuclear Blast Group (Nuclear Blast Records / SharpTone Records).

We talk about what A&R is, how Barley got into the industry, his time running Basick Records, what he looks for when scouting and signing a band, advice for those wanting to get a job in A&R, and more.
