We get caught in the kitchen with our new boss Joe Plummer, drummer for Cold War Kids, driving force of Ruinous Media and one helluva pickleball player!

We got weird with Rob Bryn of Wild Yaks, discussing everything from Aries animal facts to communes on Staten Island...and the result is a monumental deed!

A long time coming and from all the way across the globe, we are so stoked we finally got to bother indie Aussies Eliza & The Delusionals as they just dropped their banging sophomore album Make It Feel Like The Garden!

From the celebrated venue (Mercury Lounge) to the guests (country music superstar Dale Hollow, renowned rapper/writer Dessa, filmmaker/podcaster/pop-punker Chuck Staton, and  surprise guest/BFF Brian Wecht) to our friends (Eric Schmidt and Greg Burmeister) who helped jumpstart the fun, our live show in NYC turned out fucking great! Thanks to everyone involved!

The first time Lyrics Born was on our podcast way back in the beginning was the moment we really felt like we had something special so it is pretty cool to cook with the Bay Area hip hop legend again!

Strand of Oaks has stories! From blowing the doors off a Bennigan's to reading books in the shower, this party at monster lake was worth its weight in avocados.

We got to notch another bucket list honour by bothering our host's favourite band, Tokyo Police Club, as they tessellate on their farewell tour and the band calls it quits.

Our 200th episode is perfect because it is with the one and only Frank Turner.

Our new BFF Nisa joins us to talk about music, Korean sweet potatoes, creeping on dogs, and her recent record Shapeshifting, which in our opinion requires no skips! We love that for her!

This is the second time Kerry Alexander of the Minneapolis-based indie rock band Bad Bad Hats has been on Bothering the Band, and we just freaking love her! She is promoting their recent self-titled album, and she is so funny and nice, and we will gladly have her back anytime she wants.
