Motherhood Interview
Hola everyone! Today we’re back with another Tavern Tour interview this time, I had the privilege of sitting down with the endlessly inventive, boundary-pushing band, Motherhood. Over the years, their sonic world has been no secret to music lovers across the country—one filled with sharp turns, playful chaos, and a deep sense of purpose. Their latest record, Thunder Perfect Mind, is no exception, moving through themes of surrender, propulsion, and the forces beyond our control. Here’s the full episode!
Sunforger Interview
Welcome back friends and foes! In today’s episode, we get to talk to the dynamic and ever-evolving band, Sunforger. This group, consisting of Kier, Piper, Chris, and Spencer have secretly been living in my ears for the better part of 5 years noodling around in post-grunge/post-whatever sounds. Track after track, the band’s knack for balancing songwriting with tenacity shines through, making their last record, Sunforger, all the better.
We go through each of the tracks together, and get a glips into the world of Sunforger for a bit, straight from the heart of Montreal. Listen live @ 1pm EST on CJAM 99.1FM, and check out the archive page for the interview if you miss it 🙂
