Kitzy's off on a well-earned break, so it's Caleb's turn to helm the show. Set Condition One cohost - and NSR's resident Jersey expert - Andrea joins to talk about a record that oddly enough isn't from New Jersey. That's right, we're in the upper Midwest this week talking about the new EP by Motion City Soundtrack frontman Justin Courtney Pierre. We dig deep into what we love about Justin's songwriting, how much we relate to his lyrics, and how this record almost didn't happen.
