From Indian Lakes Interview
Since 2009, From Indian Lakes has been weaving a unique blend of emo, dreamo/whatever-mo, and post-hardcore, that’s pulled listeners into the moody depths of Indian Lakes, California. So much so, that we even named our radio show after one of their albums.
Las Nubes Interview
In this episode, we sit down with Ale Campos and Emile Milgrim of Las Nubes, the Miami-based rock outfit known for bringing together gritty, 90s-inspired punk and dreamy pop vibes. Las Nubes (Spanish for “The Clouds”) takes its name and style from the volatile Miami weather—one moment, sunny skies, the next, torrential rain. Now, with their latest album, Tormentas Malsanas (Unhealthy Storms), Las Nubes takes us on a journey through life’s unpredictable changes.
In our interview, Ale and Emile share insights on the making of Tormentas Malsanas, what it’s like balancing personal struggles with creative output, and how they stay inspired while working through life’s most intense moments.

Bobbing Interview
Welcome back friends! It’s been a hot minute and a slightly rough summer; nevertheless we’re still alive and have a host of great interviews lined up for the rest of the year! Kicking us back into gear, we sit down with Bobbing (aka Bob aka Robert Ross). He’s a Bay area artist whose sound drifts through genres like indie, electronica, experimental and mathy rock. Personally speaking, I’d say his music lives in the same mental space as my collection of cool rocks, sticks and shells. Its eclectic and fun! His record Year of the Newt (2023) carries all that energy and more- its an idiosyncratic measure of faith in his ability to cook up the coolest sounds and tie them down for easy listening.
In this episode, we dive into Year of the Newt, explore the inspiration behind the tracks, and jump back in time to the Feed Me Jack days (another incredible music project he started with his college friends). Whether you’re a fan of crunchy soundscapes or love unpredictable twists, Bobbing’s music offers something fresh and exciting. Catch the episodes live on cjam.ca/99.1 FM or through our archives 🙂

Route 500 is a slowcore project from the UK and this album has already become one of our most played of the year. Throughout this thoughtful interview he breaks down his songs and chats about ways life continues to bring moments of hope. His haunting music speaks to the weary and worn and the ones searching for light in the shadows.
Raised By Swans Interview
Raised by Swans came into my life when I needed it most. The ethereal melodies and poignant lyrics resonated deeply, offering solace and understanding during times when nothing else seemed to help. As the years passed, I eagerly awaited new music, yet a part of me feared that the magic might fade, that new songs wouldn’t touch me as profoundly as the old ones did. But I was wrong.
