Pretty Fort Weekly

We're back from our unannounced Thanksgiving break! This episode was recorded the Monday after Gross Domestic Product, a local music festival organized by the Des Moines Music Coalition. We go through all the dope acts we saw and discuss our thoughts, hopes, and dreams about the event and its future. Rad!

This week Chase and Parker are sleepy but talking about the new single "Humble Beginnings" from Des Moines hip hop artist Juliano Dock. You can catch him live at GDP music festival on November 23!

Chase is an anarchist, Parker is already listening to Christmas music, and Christopher the Conquered has a new EP of delightful covers. Happy winter, Des Moines!

Parker and Chase finally get around to the three-track-single "Room" from Des Moines punk outfit, Greg Wheeler and the Polygamist Mall Cops. The boys also discuss the likelihood of a sequel to the seminal sports film, Kicking and Screaming, starring Will Ferrel.

This week, PR & Chase discuss the brand new tracks from Brenton Dean (Holy White Hounds) and Chase also cuts out the fifteen minute segment about Jesus Is King.

Our favorite Des Moines singer songwriter has finally dropped her debut record! Parker and Chase discuss Shrek, Little Italy, and most importantly "Bite Back," by Lily DeTaeye.

Iowa City post-punk band Basketball Divorce Court surprise dropped their EP an hour before PR & Chase were going to review their first single – so the boys switch gears and start moshing. Tight!

This week PR is running Chase through some of the most interesting picks on Pitchfork's "200 Best Albums of the Decade" list. The boys also discuss their most anticipated upcoming shows in the Des Moines/Ames area.

This week PR & Chase are talking about the DEBUT EP from Des Moines indie pop artist EleanorGrace! Radical, dude!

Chase was lucky enough to snag a copy of the new Volcano Boys record "You Don't Love Me" for this week's episode of PFW! The two dudes in the loop with the Mews discuss.
