This week we talk to the eclectic pop-funk band Fitz & the Tantrums. The band has just released their second album, More Than Just a Dream, a soul-influenced gem that deserves to become an instant staple in your summer music lineup. If you’re not already familiar, you’re going to love these guys! We also go inside the brand new issue of RELEVANT, which features none other than Vampire Weekend on the cover (you can check it out here). Plus, the crew takes on an unhinged pastor, Jon Acuff, Jay-Z, Brendon Fraser, Dennis Leary, Nik Wallenda, Third Day and so much more…
