THE WASTING TIME PODCAST

It's a pleasure to welcome back Dylan Slocum of Spanish Love Songs to the podcast. Our last full episode with Dylan was in November 2018, so a lot has happened since. Dylan joins us ahead of the release of the band's new record, 'Future Nausea'. We talk about the writing process and why this could be Spanish Love Songs' best album to date. We look ahead to their upcoming US and European tours and discuss the band's affinity with the UK. Chris and Nick also find time to discuss recent releases from Driveways and Hawthorne Heights, as well as the Slam Dunk Festival lineup. 'Future Nausea' by Spanish Love Songs is out November 6 via Pure Noise Records.
