The time has come. PR & Chase have been steadily churning through the backlog of submissions and finally got around to discussing the latest LP from Iowa City singer/songwriter (and accompanying band) Anthony Worden & The Illiterati: "How Can We Lose When We're So Sincere?" Rad!

So PR & Chase were jamming out to some IPR (you know, like they usually do) when they stumbled across this interesting little indie band... apparently they were pretty big in the nu metal scene back in the day? Either way, they're called Slipknot and their new single, "The Chapeltown Rag," is here and it's... definitely a song. Does it live up to the explosive, dynamic, immaculately-mixed lead single of their last record ("Unsainted" from "We Are Not Your Kind")? You'll just have to listen to find out...

PR & Chase are back from holiday break and ready to break into an instant classic. That's right, it's finally time to talk "Galaxies Away," the 2020 EP from Cedar Rapids alt/jazz/everything band treesreach. Yes, that lowercase "t" is intentional.

It's our kunch and we want it hot! That's right, PR & Chase are checking out the debut EP, "Puzzle Master" from Des Moines (formerly Ames) prog band Hot Kunch. Rad!

Chase is going through a "phase" and PR has some questions about Thanksgiving... but the boys sort it out and get down to business because Pictoria Vark is back with a new single ("I Can't Bike") and it SLAPS. Rad!

Is Heaven Just a Waiting Room? PR & Chase dive into the latest single from Iowa blues/folk/Americana singer/songwriter extraordinaire, Elizabeth Moen to find out! Rad.

We've got a debut on our hands! PR & Chase sit down to talk "No Need to Say Goodbye," the first single from melodic alt rock trio, Seth Cloe and the Silver Liners. It's rockin', it's rollin', it's got the boys ready to crank that soulja boy (emotionally). Rad!

The boys are ready to dive back into the GCEU (Grandchamp Extended Universe) and discuss the latest LP, “Songs of Violence,” from Iowa City-based psychedlic/folk/emo/rock/indie/everything artist, Good Morning Midnight! It’s got luscious interludes, anxiety-inducing tension, and even a well-timed dose of emo optimism that has Chase and PR ready to spin it again and again. Rad!

It's a short, sleepy week here in at Pretty Fort HQ but the boys have the perfect ballad for just the occasion – it's the (second newest) single "Touchstone" from Iowa/Washington/California-based producer/singer/songwriter Patrick Cunningham featuring Wave Cage! That's right, Wave Cage is featured on a song... the lore deepens...

Purple Frank is back with a new LP ("Grief, and Its Due") and the boys finally make time to talk about it! Tune in to find out whether or not Purple Frank's baby is just his baby or literally a baby... the boys are still split.
