For Sonia Weber, Alien Boy's frontwoman and main songwriter, Alien Boy hovers somewhere between a shoegaze, emo, and punk band. As one might expect from a band that straddles the line between those genres, Sonia delves into themes of heartbreak, loss, and sadness in her lyrics, drawing from Sonia's affinity for Jawbreaker, The Smiths, The Stone Roses, and My Bloody Valentine. In this episode, Dan sat down with Sonia to discuss her band, their recent tour, Sleeping Lessons, Alien Boy being a queer band, and Dan and Sonia both discuss their underwear situation when traveling.
