Oh yeah, it's a crossover episode! Chase and PR discuss the recent GDP Music Festival. Go subscribe to the Pretty Fort feed for more event coverage, song premieres, interviews, and more!
On what may go down as the most chaotic episode of Pretty Fort Weekly, the boys discuss the new LP, "Raised," from Iowa native (Nashville-based) country singer/songwriter, Hailey Whitters. Chase completely snaps and PR tries to keep the show on the rails. Is he successful? I guess you oughta listen to find out.
One more day 'til GDP! PR & Chase check out the BRAND NEW single from Wave Cage, the Iowa-based electronic jazz band co-headlining the festival. That's right – we're talkin' "Bumpus" (featuring Elvis Phillips & Kyler Boss). Oh yeah!
GDP is just around the corner! To prep, PR & Chase are talkin' one of the festival's most anticipated acts, Allegra Hernandez, and their mathy, alty, shreddy, emo EP, "Pearl." Rad!
The boys are day and date, bay-bee! Go stream the brand new LP from singer/songwriter/bassist extraordinaire, Pictoria Vark! It's called "The Parts I Dread" and it rocks! Pictoria Vark will also be playing the 80/35 music festival downtown Des Moines this year. Rad!
Oh hey... didn't see ya there! PR & Chase get caught off guard before diving into the fourth EP in a series of experimental, dancey, poppy, rocky, everything-y releases from Des Moines indie rockstars LVVMAKING. It's called, "Memory Metals IV." Rad!
PR & Chase discuss the delightful debut single, "Love Is a Flood," from Des Moines singer/songwriter Abbie Sawyer. You can help support Abbie's family by donating via the link below: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-the-bolgers-during-a-time-in-need
The boys are wandering out of their pop/rock/post-modern-noise-core comfort zone to review some... STRAIGHT-UP JAZZ. That's right, it's finally time to settle into the debut LP, "Datum," from 515 legend himself, Kyle James! Coooooooooooooooooool!
The boys are tired... the world's on fire... but VIBE always remains. It's time to talk about the debut single, "Revenge," from country/blues singer/songwriter Molly Brandt! Absolutely radical!
Somehow we got the episode numbers mixed up but rest assured, this IS in fact episode 122 and we ARE in fact talking about the debut LP from Iowa alt-rockers, The Paddlers! It's called "Ocean and Space" and the boys are ready to take a "dive" right in. Rad!
