Get ready to S H R E D. The debut LP from Des Moines alternative singer/songwriter Allegra Hernandez is finally here! PR is ready to rock and Chase is overly caffeinated – what more could you want?

"The End... So Far." No introduction required. It’s Slipknot. Episode 150. Strap in.

DRINK ME!

Back-to-back banger LPs??? Is it even possible??? PR & Chase discuss Iowa-native singer/songwriter Kyle James' new record, "Climbing," the alternative R&B follow-up to "Datum," his instrumental jazz record from earlier this year. Rad!

Oh baby, it’s another debut! PR & Chase are talkin' about the first release, "Demos," from Des Moines area alternative rock band, Daizey. Rad!

The Queen is dead, Zelda has been announced, and yet the new track, "Cherries" from Iowa jazz/R&B singer/songwriter Annie Kemble is the biggest news of the day. Chase & PR struggle to stay awake on this extra sleepy edition of PRETTY FORT WEEKLY. If you're lookin' for our Hinterland 2022 coverage, just search "Pretty Fort" on your podcast app. Remember folks – it's a separate feed! Rad!

Autumn is here! And so is the debut LP, "Dream About a Cowboy," from Des Moines singer/songwriter EleanorGrace. Yeet haw!

The boys celebrate the closing of another neurotic summer with one of the most emo releases of the year. That's right – it's time to talk about the debut EP from Iowa-based alt rockers, Fair, Fair. It's appropriately titled "Fair, Fair" and Chase is ready to throw 'bows in the pit.

It's time (and time). Our favorite Cedar Rapids sauce masters are back with a new EP, "Time and Time." Can the treesreach boys top last year's "Galaxies Away," the official PF "multi-track release of the year?" Can PR and Chase win a softball game? What's the opposite of a tree? All these questions will be answered on today's episode of PRETTY FORT WEEKLY. Rad!

[Audio should be fixed this time!] The Kunch is back and it's HOT! That's right, PR & Chase are chattin' about the new single, "Feelin Alright," from Des Moines alt rockers Hot Kunch. Spoiler alert: It's a ripper. Rad!

Happy Moenday! (And apologies for the late upload!) PR & Chase have been holdin' out for as long as they can but it's finally time to address the latest tunes from Chicago-based (but Iowa-original) blues/pop singer/songwriter Elizabeth Moen! The song is called "Emotionally Available" and describes everything Chase is ~not~ currently. Rad!
