Welcome back to our regularly scheduled program. As mentioned in my last post the podcast will strictly be focusing on interviews from here on out. 

Today I got a chance to chat with the band Red Waves. Born and raised in Chicago Rey and Erik developed a love for music at a very young age. With Erik learning to strum the guitar and Rey practicing his vocals it was inevitable for the two to work on their passions together. Taking inspiration from pop icons like Justin Beiber, Shawn Mendes, and Julia Michaels and combining that with their catchy melodies, upfront vocals, and killer guitar playing they formed Red Waves. Their debut single "Take Me Home" garnished hundreds of thousands of views across YouTube. Taking that success and running with it the latest single "Let It Out" has just released in preparation for Red Waves' first album release.
