In Conversation With: Colin Cross (Dreams Of University, Broke Royals, Unkempt & Overcaffeinated Recording Studio)
Description
We are joined by our first Midwestern Emo guest!
Colin Cross grew up in the musical hotbed of Muncie, Indiana, and chats with us about his growth as a musician in the synth-forward pop-punk band Dreams of University. We talk about the influence of bands like Fall Out Boy and Motion City Soundtrack, what it was like writing and recording songs in the 2000s, the importance of MySpace for networking, and what led to the success and ultimate demise of DOU. Let's go!
If you've never had a chance to listen to Dreams of University, you absolutely should go do that now. They're on all streaming platforms!
And go check out Colin's current project Broke Royals!
