He’s from Boston, Massachusetts, and a fun fact: he’s one of the co-founders of Allston Pudding. he was kind enough to share some demos of a couple of songs for the episode, so you’ll hear some before and after snippets of those two songs, as well as part of another song or two. We cover topics like recording, life changes, and nostalgia.

In this episode, I had a nice chat with B and K from the band Bussy Kween Power Trip, from Chicago, Illinois. Their debut album, Coming With the Strap, came out earlier this year.

B’s singing is absolutely scorching, and K’s bass playing, I swear, some of the best in the land. We cover topics related to absurdity, performance, and Cracker Barrel.
