As a band, we've gone to some pretty great places- most notably, Japan! TWICE! We give some information on how we got there and how other bands can do something similar.

We just put out a live album! So we figured, why not talk about LIVE ALBUMS! We talk about our favorite live albums, what makes a live album good, and why we decided to do a live album after 10+ years. We also get into the details as to what went into production.

It's episode 7 and we're STILL talking about the writing process. It's always been a very important part of what we do and we all bring something different to the table. We discuss how each of us writes, how we bring ideas to the band, and how to turn a hook and a riff into a Bad Mary song.

Episode 5 and we're talking about scheduling. How to schedule releases, how to schedule band practice, and even how you need to time and understand the cycle of social media. It's all still a bit of a crap shoot for us, but this is our experience with it.
