On a recent episode of Sounds of PDX I welcomed local indie-alt rock band, Glacier Veins into the studio for an in-depth interview and live performance. This last summer I was introduced to Glacier Veins and was instantly taken back by the band's memorable songs and dynamic range. On one hand they have the hallmarks of 90's alt rock and 2000's post core but then they combine that with powerful indie vocals, giving them a sound all their own.

Benjamin Tyler from Small Skies recently dropped by the show and spent the evening with us talking about his personal influences and creative process. I was looking forward to talking to Benjamin about the songs and sonic environment the band captured on their most recent release, Build.

The band, Butter was recently on the show to talk about their debut EP and share some never before heard tracks with our listeners. During the show the band talked about the formation of the project and the eclectic influences that impact their sound. Incorporating sounds from artists like The Strokes, Mac DeMarco, and Thundercat, Butter has crated their own memorable style that quickly draws you in.

On this episode of the show, I welcomed recording artist Shae Altered to share her stories, influences, and some wonderful insight into her creative process. As you will hear in our playlist, Shae's influences reflect the dynamic evolution of her music and the impact of her favorite songwriters. With hard-hitting beats and a unique blending of instruments, Shae Altered creates an atmosphere with her music that always captivates her listeners.

Before heading out on their 2017 European tour, Mordecai‘s Kate Kilbourne dropped by the show to talk to me about the band's creative process, influences, and their recently released “It’s Never Enough” LP.

From the first time I heard Small Million’s “Before the Fall” EP I became an instant fan. I have had their music on my personal playlist ever since. The indie synth pop duo comprised of Malachi Graham and Ryan Linder combine memorable hooks, infectious beats, and lush sonic layers that instantly draw you in. As a fan of the band, I had been looking forward talking to them about how the project was formed and the process of creating their sound. Please enjoy my interview with Small Million featuring their influences, original work, and a guest appearance by Erik Carlson of DoublePlusGood.
