Your Next Favorite Band

Tune in this week as we spend time with Judah Kim - a Philly-based "underdog" DIY alt-rocker who's songs have soaring vocals, and structure that put your ears at ease.  David puts forth a "Beatles/Radiohead" vibe, and that sounds just about perfect.Judah was born in Philly, the 7th of 8 from parents to immigrated from South Korea.  A proud Asian American, Judah is passionate to share that a path in rock n roll is there and to raise awareness on the mental health impact of a culture with a excessively strong emphasis on academics and success.  So he and 4 other Asian American fronted bands came together to produce Asian American Pie and will be all performing on Sat May 11th at World Cafe Live in Philly.Check out his blog article "Why an All Asian Rock Show is Important"We'll also spend time discussing the rest of Judah's story and share some of his music, like the incredible tracks "Fate" and my personal favorite "Backdoor".  Judah will also perform live during the broadcast, and with his home studio this is sure to sound amazing.Don't miss this one!Text us your #nextfavband story...As always, our hope is to bring you "your next favorite band".

This week's conversation will have it all - incredible music, inspiring story, deep conversation about overcoming grief, international relations, trips to the arctic circle, synesthesia, quilting with brilliance, and even the Philadelphia Eagles.  Yep...all of that!  So you will not want to miss our conversation with Eliza Hardy Jones.Of course, primarily this is about the first item on that list - and Eliza has just released a gem of an album called Pickpocket, and while it's full of the journey through the grief of attempting to have a child and feeling like you've tried everything, the music somehow has the ability to ease the pain and bring comfort...and hope.We'll explore this wonderful release with her, and take a trip with her through all of the other incredible elements of her story - including her time performing with Grace Potter, Iron & Wine, and her current band The War on Drugs.  Which also lead her to work with Jason Kelce, Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson as the vocal coach for the Philly Special Christmas albums.  And the incredible Song Quilt Project!Text us your #nextfavband story...As always, our hope is to bring you "your next favorite band".

Brian Walker is on a mission to spread good vibes.  He achieves this through many, many ways.  Of course our focus today will be to feel those vibes through his music and his band A Day Without Love.Take a moment to spend some time as we hear about his early inspirations, how his poetry got turned in to the first songs, and how one of them, inspired by the ugliness of domestic violence that he helped stop, became the band name and launched the mission to help others rise above their own struggles.Brian will perform live, and we'll share additional tracks from his catalog that shows off his infectious folk punk sound.Text us your #nextfavband story...As always, our hope is to bring you "your next favorite band".

Do you think you can play like Django?  How about Radus?  Well think again, and tune in for our in-person convo with incredible finger-pickin singer-songwriter Alex Radus and prepare for "genre whiplash"!We sit down with him and learn about how people recognized his talent at a young age, earning him the opportunity to attend the Augusta Heritage Center - dedicated to the preservation of traditional American styles of music and performance.  There he is inspired by the sounds and mentors, learns many different styles of playing, begins writing the music he was meant to create, meets Maria Woodford to form the folk duo Duende and they start busking/touring across the country....and the rest is history.Now a resident and part of the fabric of the rich Lehigh Valley music scene, Alex continues to perform throughout the area solo, as a trio, and as the recently formed rock group Hot4Robot along with Dave Cahill.Alex performs acoustic - "No Control" from his catalog, and "Just Human" from the Hot4Robot album.This interview and the performances were recorded at the Bethlehem location of Lost Tavern Brewing.Grab a pint, pull up a chair, and enjoy our time with Alex Radus!Alex RadusWebsiteInstagramYoutubePatreonHot4RobotHot4Robot websiteInstagramFacebookAlex Radus / Hot4Robot MusicBandcamp (Buy direct from the artist!)Alex Radius SpotifyAlex Radus Apple MusicHot4Robot SpotifyHot4Robot Apple MusicText us your #nextfavband story...As always, our hope is to bring you "your next favorite band".

We were introduced to Social Creatures back during Musikfest, and we stuck around to listen to them which made us late to our broadcast of the daily livestream because they were so good.  A true "Best of the Fest" for 2023 for sure.Based in Brooklyn, NY, Social Creatures is producing music that is both nostalgic and new, both fun danceable and emotionally raw.  Their music includes killer bass lines, shredding guitar licks, creative drum lines, dreamy synth, and vocals that are soaring and attainable.  They were selected by the Charter Arts class participating in the Musikfest Marketing program put on by ArtsQuest with area high schools, so their sound is something that everyone is enjoying.We'll share their songs "Half The Keys", "Nothing Changes", and some live footage we snagged during Musikfest that you'll want to see, especially the active shenanigans of the drummer.  So fun to watch!  Then we play their release from just last Friday (3/1/2024) "Fly The Loop".Lots of great music coming from Social Creatures and tours to support the releases, so be sure to catch them live when they play near you.  You will love it!Social Creatures LinksLinkTreeInstagramYoutubeSocial Creatures MusicSpotifyApple MusicAmazon MusicText us your #nextfavband story...As always, our hope is to bring you "your next favorite band".

This week we are joined by the ever-clever, award-winning, queer Americana artist from Philadelphia - Brittany Ann Tranbaugh.  We have so much fun in this convo diving back to the early years and talking through all of the ups and downs that have lead her to the full-time musician life she is currently leading.Songwriting and performing has always come easy, but this super-talented musician who was hailed as being "the future of folk music" did go through a time that she needed to focus on her mental health.  Something that should be applauded and we can all benefit from hearing about.Back at it and better than ever since 2021, Brittany is on a roll that includes a John Lennon Songwriting Contest win for "Kiss You" and an album produced by Tyler Chester.  Can't wait to see where things continue to progress for Brittany Ann.Please enjoy our interview with her, including the sharing of recordings of "Kiss You", "The Good In That", and "Can't Wait, No Rush", and she also will perform music live that is both recently released, and no yet released (at the time of this recording).Brittany Ann Tranbaugh LinksWebsiteInstagramYoutubeFacebookBrittany Ann Tranbaugh MusicBandcamp (Music and Merch direct from the artist!)SpotifyApple MusicText us your #nextfavband story...As always, our hope is to bring you "your next favorite band".

Are you ready for some hip, cool, under-the-radar blues??  Be prepared to be blown away by the smooth guitar and killer vocals of Shane Guerrette.Surrounded by music his whole life, he picked up the guitar at a young age, and enjoyed early success posting covers of popular songs in his style to YouTube.  However it never felt quite fulfilling and started to write and record his own music.  Which was also immediately successful.Shane's writing and performances are a throwback to a time filled with coolness, and he seems to produce a sound well beyond his years somehow.  He's even had his music featured in a Brunello Cuccinelli & Oliver Peoples sunglass ad.He's just starting a tour supporting Black Joe Lewis, and will be releasing new music heading in to the spring.  LinksWebsite: shaneguerrette.comYouTube ChannelSpotify ChannelText us your #nextfavband story...As always, our hope is to bring you "your next favorite band".

In 2023, Ratboys released their latest album The Window, and it was our fav of the year. We also got to see them perform at Johnny Brenda's in Sept last year. So when the opportunity came up for us to interview frontwoman and lead songwriter Julia Steiner we were so pumped!We spend time to hear more about the latest album, how they met producer Chris Walla and how he inspired them to try new things, and the stories behind some of tracks (can't believe they did "Black Earth, WI" in only 2 takes!). She also shares her passion for album sequencing and how she goes about selecting the order for the tracks on the album.We also learn more about her story finding her music path, how she met Dave Sagan in college, and how the rest of the band formed across their catalog of albums.In addition to "Black Earth, WI", we share the official video of "It's Alive!", some video we captured at the Johnny Brenda's show of "Charles Bernstein" (a deep cut off their first album), and close the show out with my fav track off the latest album "Empty".This is such a fun convo with one of the best out there right now - you won't want to miss it!LinksWebsite: ratboysband.comYouTube ChannelSpotify ChannelNepco Guitars: nepcoguitars.comText us your #nextfavband story...As always, our hope is to bring you "your next favorite band".

Brush away the winter weather with the music of Easy Honey!  This incredible band out of Charleston, SC has the dual sound of fresh indie-rock balanced with familiar feel-good beachy vibes.  The duality in their music continues lyrically, with songs like "Steady In Vertigo" and even their name - since there's no such thing as "easy" honey.We'll be joined by co-frontman/guitarist Selby Austin, and bassist Webster Austin.  They'll share about their beginnings while at college at Sewanee, the move to Charleston, and where they see taking things now that they're back to a full schedule of touring.  The environment is very important to them and is often in their messaging and interest, so we spend some time on that since that is a topic of importance for us as well.Selby will perform their song "Spells" live on the show, and we share some video we captured during their Musikfest set of "Gotta Get Back".This group has such a fun, infectious vibe and sure to be your #nextfavband!Easy Honey LinksWebsiteMerch & music direct from the band!YoutubeInstagramFacebookEasy Honey MusicSpotifyApple MusicBandcampText us your #nextfavband story...As always, our hope is to bring you "your next favorite band".

Happy New Year!  2023 was a great year for us, and we've got some extremely cool stuff planned for 2024.  So let's start things off hot right away!This week we present a completely new type of episode for us - "Behind the Sound".  These episodes will focus on the gear and tech of a band to understand how they achieve their distinct sound.  For our first installment, we sped time with There, There - a tribute to Radiohead.We first met Joe, Colin, Ben, Cory and Charles (and the drum machine) at Musikfest 2022, and loved what they did so much, they became the first tribute band to be interviewed on our show in September of that year.  Check out that interview here: https://nextfavband.com/2022/09/15/th...After catching a few more of their shows, we collectively had the thought and the interest to do a show that focused on the various elements that get them in the neighborhood of the iconic Radiohead sound.  We hear about their effects pedals, their pick-ups, sample pads, chaos pads, "rackzilla", and much more!The guys were kind enough to allow me to attend their load-in and sound check for a show they were doing at ArtsQuest in Bethlehem, PA.  Watching them get everything in its right place on stage and then testing it all to make sure it sounded great was a sight to behold.  So we documented and shared it all in condensed form here for you.Joe and Cory and the rest of There, There even provide additional insight and context on some of the various elements we'll be discussing as well as chat about the history of Radiohead as a band.Whether you like Radiohead's music or not, you'll be sure to enjoy this dive in to how a band sets up for a complex show like this, and what all goes in to creating the music for your earholes.Come with us as we go "Behind the Sound" with There, There - a tribute to Radiohead.Text us your #nextfavband story...As always, our hope is to bring you "your next favorite band".

Do you hear that rumble that I hear??  Phillip and David join the second line this week and spend time with The Rumble - a beautiful fusion of the swagger of modern bayou funk with Black Masking carnival culture of Mardi Gras.  We were there when they dropped an atomic funk bomb at Musikfest and now they are nominated for a Grammy in the Best Regional Roots Music Album category for the debut release Live at the Maple Leaf earlier this year.We'll spend time with them to learn more about their history, how they came together and formed, and the music they've written together.  We'll also learn more about the gorgeous Black Masking Indian culture and the Golden Eagle tribe in particular ... and how Chief Joseph made his entire suit by hand!We are certain you will love their music, and we can't wait to hear more.Text us your #nextfavband story...As always, our hope is to bring you "your next favorite band".
