On this episode, we are joined by Justin Keane and Amy Young, the fantastic indie rock duo known as Canyons And Locusts.

Canyons and Locusts is a melodic noise-rock duo from Boston and Phoenix, consisting of Justin Keane (vocals, guitar) from Boston and Amy Young (drums, backing vocals) from Phoenix. The band’s sound is defined by edgy guitar riffs, pulsating drum beats, and emotionally charged vocals, blending indie rock influences with an experimental edge.

Both Keane and Young honed their craft in previous bands before joining forces to create Canyons and Locusts. The duo’s music evokes a raw, atmospheric energy, with each song exploring different emotional landscapes.

The band’s upcoming 2025 concept album, "The Goal Gigolo", is inspired by a vivid dream Keane had about a character of the same name. The album is described as a cinematic journey, drawing comparisons to Robert Altman’s film "The Long Goodbye". 

Their 2024 EP, "The Red Angel", marked a significant step in their sonic evolution, featuring the singles "Buck Dharma's Eyes" and "To Art Bell." The track "Anna Save A Life" will appear on "The Goal Gigolo", adding to the anticipation for the full album's release. 

Canyons and Locusts continue to push boundaries with their unique blend of storytelling, sound, and emotion.
