Look At My Records!

For Episode 97, Tom chatted with Ryan Yu of the Los Angeles based band, mmmonika! This new project just released their awesome first single, “See Me On The Outside,” back in May and followed it up with two more sun-soaked and catchy tunes, “Unwind Me” and “Swamp Time.” Tune in to hear Ryan dish on mmmonika and his other projects (including Common Souls), his approach to songwriting, and the band’s plans for the rest of the year, including west coast gigs and an EP. He also played two rousing cover songs live in-studio and picked some excellent Prince records!
