September 16, 2025 Liquid Mike
Liquid Mike joins Pop Fuss to talk about their new LP Hell is an Airport! ✈️
With six albums in just five years, Mike shares his unconventional approach to songwriting—super short songs, power-pop hooks, and anthemic angst.
The record nods to indie staples like Guided by Voices and Nirvana while channeling the raw, guitar-driven energy of Mike’s youth. The result? A sharp, cathartic collection that turns self-deprecation into hooks you can’t stop singing.
