Bandsplain

As the frontman of the band Bush, Gavin Rossdale has written a ton of guitar-rock bangers and captured the hearts and minds of a generation of fans who, like Yasi, probably don't know what the song "Swallowed" is about. This week, he’s on '24 Question Party People' to talk about Bush’s newest release, 'Loaded: The Greatest Hits 1994-2023'; his infrared sauna and cold-plunge practice; why he finds actors so inspiring; and his passion for grilling meat.

This week’s guest Meaghan Garvey joins Yasi to chart how this Los Angeles band found its way into the hearts and minds of listeners everywhere with a decades spanning career that defied convention at every turn.

In addition to being a gorgeous rom com, the movie Singles also ended up preserving the Seattle music scene of the early 90’s in film amber. Cameron Crowe’s homage of vignettes to his adopted home brought together now iconic artists like Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Chris Cornell and Soundgarden, and Mudhoney. Whether the artists thought the project was a good idea or not varied, but the results were undeniable. To top it off, Paul Westerberg was airlifted in from Minneapolis to tie it all together and the result is one of the most undeniably important compilations of the decade. Sean Fennessey joins us this week to talk about the Singles Soundtrack.

This week Chris Ryan joins us to discuss the first Sub Pop band East of the Mississippi, the Afghan Whigs. Afghan Whigs are a band that has always been exactly themselves, fronted by an iconoclast who approaches putting together albums like he's making a movie. A dark, f*cked up movie. From their Cincinnati roots to leaving a crater in Memphis partying with Primal Scream, to their breakup, reformation and excellent latest album, we track the story of the Afghan Whigs to unpack what makes this singular band work.
