Toronto indie rock trio the MONOWHALES put out their debut album Daytona Bleach at the beginning of the month, so naturally I had to chat with them about it. Plus, they share some fun tour stories, Tinder mishaps, and even weird voicemails in this interview segment. They even agree to play a game of Band Superlatives - how fun!

Boston soul-pop outfit Couch recently dropped their debut self-titled EP in February. Written, recorded, and produced over the last two years or so, the group overcame numerous obstacles, including being long distance while each member was off at school. Their tenacity and chemistry help make their new EP shine bright, and we sat down over Zoom to chat with the group.

Especially when people start asking you for money...

Either way, fresh starts are always exciting and on this week's show, the featured songs are damn well fresh. 

Featuring the debut single from Detroit rapper Nato, highlights from the debut EP from Boston soul-pop group Couch, the first song in over three years from Cinders, and the album-teaser from L.A. duo Junaco, this week's show is something great. 

Cinders - "Growing Up" (9:00)

Nato - "FEEL" (13:45)

Couch - "Still Feeling You" (21:45)

Junaco - "Blue Room" (27:30)

Moundsville, WV is the home base of punk quartet Stage Moms. It was also the home of local music venue Thunderbirds, operated by Stage Moms frontman Gage Vota, until COVID-19 forced his venue to shut down, starting a domino effect of unfortunate circumstances for the singer.

Stage Moms released their new single "231" as a tribute to the experience and the venue, acting as an anthem for the music industry during this unpredictable time.  In this new interview, Vota opens up about the struggles he's faced and shares some stories about the song and Thunderbirds.

Remember making plans? 

That was a fun thing of the past. 

On the bright side, there's less of a chance of catching FOMO (unless you count not being able to do anything one giant FOMO).

Unknowingly starting her career at age 3, Vancouver-based singer-songwriter Michaela Slinger has wanted to make music all her life. I chat with her about her musical childhood, the decision to leave the 9-5 life, and all about her new single & music video "Make You Sad".   Would you use her song in a break-up montage? We want to know.
