  • Ep. 0021 Bass Drum of Death
    Apr 11 2023

    Shelby and Josh are backstage, in green rooms, and in metaphorical dark alleys with Bass Drum of Death! They talk to leading man John Barrett, guitar wizard Jim Barrett, and human drum machine Ian Kirkpatrick. The boys chatted about growing up in Oxford, Mississippi, their experience with the pandemic, and what is was like working with Patrick Carney on their latest record, "Say I Won't" out on Fat Possum Records.. It is so choice, if you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.

  • Ep. 0019 Nolan Potter's Nightmare Band
    Mar 7 2023

    Josh and Shelby. Captains of Cringe. Nolan Potter. Wizard of Weird. Can you imagine a more appetizing combo? (This is rhetorical. We know peanut butter and celery exists.) We filmed this in his house (with real cameras). This discussion includes topics such as: 1. Nolan's recording setup and process. 2. What really makes The Lord of the Rings special. 3. Is Austin still Austin?

    Dive deep with us as we swim the murky waters of Nolan.

    Did that last part sound weird? I'm feeling weird about it. We meant for it to sound cool. Let us know.
