Spotify has been in the news A LOT lately guys. Then a couple weeks ago the internet got ahold of their financials and…well…we’re here to talk about what happened next.
Toronto indie-punks White Lung are back with a fierce new album that comes straight from the 90’s into Paul’s heart. Is it enough to convince Kevin though?
On Everything’s Beautiful, legendary jazz pianist Robert Glasper has assembled an army of modern talent and the ghost of Miles Davis to produce one of the best albums of their. We’ve got a taste for you to dig baby, dig it the most.

With 2011's Photograph and 2014's The Lights From The Chemical Plant, Robert Ellis established himself as one best singer-songwriters working today.
Robert Ellis, his third major release (and one of the best albums of 2016) builds on that foundation, but refuses to be constrained to any genre, country or otherwise.
On a recent visit to Washington, DC, Robert stopped by the basement to talk about his new album, life on the road and how great songwriting beats all.
You deserve this podcast. You earned it.

Noah Berman (Louis Weeks) and Ian Taronji (The Lucky So & So's) are both formidable guitarists with connections to the DC scene. Kevin is also a guitarist, minus the formidable. Together the three are going full wonk on the instrument that has, in no small part, shaped their lives.
William Tyler is a guitarist. He is not connected to the DC scene. He also is not a hack. His new album Modern Country aims to prove that and then some.
Remember that time the band Avers rocked the f@#@ out of 2014 with their album Empty Light? Well, they're back, and we've got the first single off of their upcoming sophomore LP, Omega/Whatever, for you to shove in yer earholes and enjoy.

It’s sad and shameful that in 2016 that bands like Screaming Females, Modern Baseball, and Speedy Ortiz have to set up a hotline for fans to call if they’re at a show and find themselves being touched or treated inappropriately, and yet here we are talking about our collective inability to not be f@#-ups... again. Dammit.
And speaking of Modern Baseball…
The Philadelphia emo-punks have spent the past few years building a devoted (that’s putting it mildly) following and on their latest LP, Holy Ghost, they just may have hit the big time. Is the world ready for Category 5 feels-a-cane? We’re aiming to find out.
PLUS! Robert Ellis’ excellent self-titled LP is here and we’ve got one of its finest moments for you to put in your ear-holes…and your heart.
Trust us. We may actually know what we’re doing.

In March of this year, singer/songwriter Laura Gibson released Empire Builder. Not only was it her strongest record to date, but it is undeniably one of 2016's finest releases.
Around that time, we invited Laura (and her band) over the morning after an exhilarating performance at Iota Club and Café to talk about the new album, her transition to becoming a (mostly) full-time New Yorker, higher learning, and much much more.
PLUS: Our friend Jonny Grave drops by to talk about his new album and the release show on June 7th for said album where he aims to prove its mettle to ya.
This is podcasting at it's fullest potential.

The Grateful Dead are one of the pillars of the American musical canon.
With an influence that spans generations and all walks of life, it's no surprise that Bryce and Aaron Dessner, both members of indie-rock superstars The National, were huge “Deadheads.”
Now, with a little help from their friends, the brothers have put together a sprawling, 59 track celebration of the Grateful Dead’s music to benefit the amazing Red Hot Organization.
Will these indie rock A-listers redeem the Dead's legacy for a whole new generation? Or will the gang just end sitting around talking about their favorite tapes? Tune in as we’re joined by special guests Andres Restrepo and Ryan Little to find out.
And as always, please excuse the long tuning pauses.

A few years ago in the small town of Washington, DC, Maddy Wolpow-Gindi and Quinn Meyers (along with the steady hand of friend Jordan Grobe on sound) set out to host a few rock shows at their shared space above a cajun restaurant known as The Bayou.
Over the course of two years that space which started out just hoping to turn out "a few rock shows" turned into one of the most vibrant and vital music venues the nation's capital has ever seen.
But all good (great) things come to an end, and so it was that the last bittersweet notes rang loud from Above the Bayou's withered bay windows out into the streets of DC in May of this year.
Dead is dead, and the past is the past, but there are always stories to be received from those who were there.
This is theirs.

Chance The Rapper, one of the most exciting hip-hop artists of the 21st century, recently dropped his long awaited third mixtape, Coloring Book.
For possibly unrelated reasons, we assembled a KILLER panel that included music journalists extraordinaire Briana Younger and Marcus J. Moore, PLUS DC music powerhouse Jamal Gray (Nag Champa).
With that much firepower in the room we should probably talk about something right?
OK. Let's talk about Chance.

Copyright law is a fickle beast. Will Toledo and Matador Records found out just how fickle when they found out despite their good faith efforts, a (killer) track off of Teens Of Denial that quoted a classic The Cars song wouldn't pass the copyright muster, resulting in the physical release of the album being pushed back to June and all copies being destroyed.
This kinda thing could be catastrophic to an artist's career, but given the circumstances, who really gives a f$%$?*
That's our podcast. Plus a little Promised Land Sound for good measure. Dig it.
*Circumstances = Teens Of Denial is one of the best rock records of 2016, maybe of all time
