About this listen
Special one-on-one interview with the San Jose-based band Family Obligation. We pulled back the curtain on this self-proclaimed "glitter pop" group and dived into the surprising backgrounds of its members.
Listeners heard from the band's brilliant songwriter and frontperson, Christine Derrick, who revealed how her academic past in wearable technology and a PhD from UC Berkeley influenced the band's "clinical" lyrics. We also met guitarist Kevin Ryan, who shared the story of a memorable backyard show that left him with a blown amp, and drummer Micah Turney, who explained how his decades of working at a local music store and his time in a legendary San Jose ska band shaped the band's sound. Finally, bassist Kyle Lester talked about his life as an artist and skateboarder and how that creative energy found its way into the band's riffs.
This was a deep dive into the band's origins, their love for cats, and the real-life "family obligation" that led to their name. Listeners got a taste of their sound with several tracks from their upcoming album, and we found out where they were playing next.
