The very first episode is up now, and it's an interview with Barry Johnson, frontman of Joyce Manor, whose new album 40 oz. to Fresno comes out on Epitaph Records this Friday (6/10). Barry gives in-depth insight into the making of the album and background on specific songs, he talks about working on it with producer Rob Schnapf (Elliott Smith, Saves The Day, etc) and Motion City Soundtrack drummer Tony Thaxton, he tells the story of the Sublime-related album title, and more. He also reflects on the 10th anniversaries of the band's first two albums, including their divisive (and underrated!) sophomore album Of All Things I Will Soon Grow Tired, and touches on the parallels between that album and the new LP. He reflects on the 2010s emo scene that the band got their start in, his relationship with ska, and much more.
