On this episode of the podcast Cody chats, yet again, with Anthony and Will who are Groove Talk alumni by this point and play in the pop-punk band The Galacticas. As always the three of them have a great conversation that covers a wide variety of subject matter including: the importance of good quality band merch, do people pay attention to the art work of the album if they’re not buying the CD? the rise and fall of music genres, challenging yourself in the recording studio, treating your album as more than just a collection of random songs, the effects that streaming services such as Spotify have on the way people both make and listen to music, how COVID-19 is affecting local music scenes and local music venues, all the cool art that is being made as a result of the pandemic, why you should always lock your hotel room door, the two different types of shows you can expect to play when you’re a touring band, the ancient magical secrets of playing Wheatus live, the musicians dilemma of weather or not you should be playing covers, genres that last the test of time and the ones that don’t, and of course a bunch of pop culture talk at the end. You can listen to the song Cracked Leather off of the bands upcoming album Pixels and Poetry at the end of the episode.
