On this episode of Off the Clock, I’m joined by my friends Henry and Brian of Sorry Sweetheart, who recently signed to Bad Time Records, created the theme song for this show, and are one of my favorite bands. Here’s some of what we talk about:

First Question: How did the signing to Bad Time Records come to pass?

• I make a bunch of guesses about what the song “IK4ND” stands for and they tell me the real meaning
• Henry tastes some new coffee and I ask them about “getting into character” before they play a show because their stage presence is so different than them in real life
• the metalcore vocals, how to do them, and how I’m never ready for them
• how Days of Thunder is actually Top Gun 2 and why Henry is like Cole Trickle
• how do Sorry Sweetheart songs actually get composed? 
• we talk about the creation of this show’s theme song and give a special shout out to the band Good Clean Fun
• some dated NBA playoffs talk as we pontificate about teams that have already been eliminated
• some talk about the song “Touch Grass” and its origins
• a story of Sorry Sweetheart seeing an All Waffle Trick shirt completely out of context at a festival in Western Massachusetts (this was partially my doing)
• could Sorry Sweetheart open for Slipknot? we debate. and which times have they been a mismatch on a bill?
• smart guys that we are, we share all the ways one can use their teeth
• what does success look like for Sorry Sweetheart?
• theme bars “Shot Topic” and “The Squared Circle”
