"People are gonna remember you for that in the garage."

A wild weekend at Texas for Brad and marathon run in Nashville for Bobby - the gang is back and unpacking all sorts of racing meets music news. 

From emotional damage at the track and stubbornly refusing to quit - the guys unpack grit, creativity, muscle memory, and Lilith Fair lore. If you’ve ever wondered what connects race cars, synths, and existential burnout... you’re at the right place.

Pop music used to color inside the lines — now it’s scribbling in its own rules and booking festival lineups the public can’t get enough of. The gang dives into Bandcamp listening parties, psychedelic live shows, and a lineup that jumps from RAYE and Thundercat to The Strokes. 

Buckle up: pop didn’t just get weird… it got interesting again.

This week, the gang unpacks the totally sustainable and definitely fair modern music industry — where millions of streams might buy you half a sandwich. From the art of DJing and remixing to the financial gymnastics artists perform to stay afloat, they dig into how things actually work (and don’t). 

From creative release strategies to why platforms like Bandcamp are starting to look like lifeboats - a fun, slightly unhinged tour through the business behind the music — where the vibes are high and the payouts are… not.

The gang hits the gas from the jump: Brad lays it down with his surprise out-of-nowhere shot in the 42 car — because apparently manifesting is real and sometimes it comes with a roll cage. Meanwhile, Bobby’s out here collecting concert experiences like Pokémon cards, reliving sweat-soaked, ear-ringing nights that probably shaved a few years off his hearing (worth it).

The crew dives headfirst into fresh drops from Mitski, Nothing, and Nathan Fake, plus the cosmic country curveball from Sturgill Simpson’s latest alter ego project as Johnny Blue Skies. Yes, there are feelings. Yes, there are opinions. No, they are not subtle.

From the comeback energy of rap groups reclaiming their throne to the thrill of digging up underground artists before your friends do, the hosts get real about the art of music discovery in an era where algorithms think they know you better than you know yourself.

It’s part race recap, part “I heard this first” flex — and fully committed to chasing the next sound that makes your ears tingle.

Welcome to the Speed of Sound Podcast 
Meet your new hosts and built-in homies: Brad Perez, Bobby Markos, and Allie Roder.

From the grind of race season to the sacredness of live shows, we’re talking community, culture, and going full throttle in both worlds.
