Country Brothers

The Country Brothers are joined today by Los Angeles-based country artist Lasers Lasers Birmingham (who always runs into Dom in random places)

They chat with Lasers Lasers Birmingham about his upcoming album “Mystery Highway” set to release on July 17, 2024. They dive into the meaning behind the name, his ties to the Phoenix area, and how he developed his distinct sound.

We also find out if Lasers Lasers Birmingham could complete the 9x9x9 Challenge at a Dodgers game.

Check out the Lasers Lasers Birmingham Youtube channel for dope music videos for new songs “Tractor Beam” and “Mystery Highway” and a behind the scenes look at the making of his new album.

The Country Brothers are joined by Veronique Medrano, a masterful TexMex Country and Tejano artist. This episode is your chance to get to know the artist behind the music. (and oh boy, this is a classic Country Brothers episode.)

The trio go deep into their favorite anime, Medrano’s work as a preservationist and fighting to get Freddy Fender the recognition he deserves, the stylistic roots behind her music, why she was crying in the middle of an H-E-B after listening to the pod, and why Lila Downs is dope.

And of course, you know they had to talk about the Drake and Kendrick beef. (Spoiler: Kendrick washed Drake).

The Country Brothers are joined this week by L.A. country music legend Donnie C. Cutler (Country Cutler) for an insightful chat about how the region's country scene has evolved, why fighting over “authenticity” in country music is a sham, and why the diverse mix of influences in L.A. help create some amazing tunes.

Then they look back on the film “Swingers,” which Dom dubbed “Straight Outta Compton, but a movie, and with white people.”

Dom sits down for a quick mini pod with some thoughts on Beyonce's awesome new album Cowboy Carter. A more substantive review IS coming within the next two episodes, but we wanted to check in with ya'll in the interim.

We also hear from the homies TJ and Country Cutler with their thoughts on the record.

The Country Brothers are back with an in-depth review of the new Kacey Musgraves album "Deeper Well."

The two also chat about a show Duwaun recently went to and his busy April, which country artist could beat Goku or Vegeta in a fight, and how to best watch JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

During the Super Bowl, Beyoncé dropped two country tracks and announced that she'll be dropping a whole ass country album "Act II"

The Country Brothers discuss the two tracks "Texas Hold 'Em" and "16 Carriages." They also dive into what impact Beyoncé can have on the country scene and what artists they'd like to see appear on her tour dates.

They also chat about some fire new songs they heard recently, why Dashboard Confessional might not be the best at parties, and Dom's Zangief.

The Country Brothers welcome two-time guest J.D Roberts (Three Penny Riot) to chat about some dope tracks the trio have loved, including FIRE listener recs. But you know how we roll, the conversation doesn’t just stay on music. They chat about Bozeman stories, dope bars, Dry January, the essence of folk punk, fun country music ain’t gotta be lame, and which Street Fighter character they play. There’s loads of thoughtful music discussion, bits, and fun chit-chat on the first proper episode of 2024!

Dom is flying solo to open the new year with a mini episode. While the Country Brothers are cooking up a big 2024, we didn't wanna leave you hanging in the first few weeks of January. Dom delivers a quick little check-in mini pod going into his killer comedy set to end the year, Saltburn, and what is coming for the pod in the new year!

The Country Brothers use this episode as a chance to chat about country music’s new golden boy Zach Bryan. Is his push warranted or is he just The Miz? They dive into his music and consider why he’s so popular.

Before the country music talk, they offer their thoughts on dozens of movies from No One Will Save You to Rye Lane to Past Lives and Cronenberg vs. Lynch.

Editor’s Note: I did not edit out him accidentally saying Blue Valentine. It was too funny.
