Update: 2025-07-15
Description
This week, we're joined by Meredith Haines from the Chicago noise-rock duo Latter for a new episode of "Make Me a Fan." Meredith explains why the experimental post-hardcore band Pile is "your favorite band's favorite band" and how their music completely reshaped her approach to songwriting. Can she convert our host into a true believer?
Topics Discussed:
- How Pile's unconventional music inspired a generation of DIY artists.
- A deep dive into five essential Pile tracks, including "Baby Boy" from their breakthrough album Dripping and "Fingers" from A Hairshirt of Purpose.
- Meredith's journey from listening to "Hot Topic emo" to embracing experimental and noise rock.
- The host's first-time reaction to Pile's theatrical lyrics and "relentless wave of riffs."
- An unexpected debate on the lyrical genius (or lack thereof) of My Chemical Romance.
- News and updates on Meredith's band Latter and their upcoming music and tours.
