Couch Radio - Ep. 0019 Nolan Potter's Nightmare Band
play

03/07/23 • 115 min

Josh and Shelby. Captains of Cringe. Nolan Potter. Wizard of Weird. Can you imagine a more appetizing combo? (This is rhetorical. We know peanut butter and celery exists.) We filmed this in his house (with real cameras). This discussion includes topics such as: 1. Nolan's recording setup and process. 2. What really makes The Lord of the Rings special. 3. Is Austin still Austin?
Dive deep with us as we swim the murky waters of Nolan.
Did that last part sound weird? I'm feeling weird about it. We meant for it to sound cool. Let us know.

Couch Radio - Ep. 0021 Bass Drum of Death
play

04/11/23 • 42 min

Shelby and Josh are backstage, in green rooms, and in metaphorical dark alleys with Bass Drum of Death! They talk to leading man John Barrett, guitar wizard Jim Barrett, and human drum machine Ian Kirkpatrick. The boys chatted about growing up in Oxford, Mississippi, their experience with the pandemic, and what is was like working with Patrick Carney on their latest record, "Say I Won't" out on Fat Possum Records.. It is so choice, if you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.

Zak is a stellar, prolific songwriter and multi-instrumentalist wizard who doesn't pigeonhole himself to a single genre. He's diligent to the craft and usually chooses to spend his days in his studio. He's most likely there right now. Like, right now. Traffik Island's newest record is titled 'Sweat Kollecta's Peanut Butter Traffik Jam' and it's a genre-bending, beat-driven, groovy record that you should check out right meow.
