In this ep the drink of the podcast was the Monkey Jam Sour—bright, tart, and perfect for story time. We’re joined by Paper Cardinal, a local Chicago band, for a high-energy walk down memory lane. The guys trace how the group formed, how sessions at Fort Knox (Chicago) sparked their newly released album Jupiter Run, and what really separates an EP from a full album—creatively, strategically, and for fans. Big theme of the night: you can’t just stack ideas; you’ve got to move on them. We cap it off with the hype: this Wednesday is Paper Cardinal’s first headlining show as a full group at the Cobra Lounge Chicago—and there’s plenty more where that came from. Grab a drink and enjoy this episode with us.
