Laura Jeffery, Josh Salter, Andre Charles Thériault, and Cole Woods from Laughing discuss their debut album, Because It’s True, our previous interactions and how this band formed around a democratic principle of four singers and songwriters who can swap instruments where necessary, their love of power pop and bands like Big Star, the Replacements, and Pavement, writing clever, biting songs about love and being outside, making their album with Faith Healer’s Renny Wilson, promoting Montreal businesses like Pizza Bouquet and Star Bar, what’s next for Laughing and the members’ respective pursuits, other future plans, and much more!

Adam Goren and Brian Sokel from Dead Best discuss their album Second and its lyrical themes, growing up together and now living right next to each other, a Guelph house show my old band Captain Copilot played with Atom and His Package in 1999 before I randomly ran into Adam in Philadelphia a year later, finally having Adam on the show after conversations I’ve had about Atom and His Package with guests like Chris Gethard, Kurt Vile, and Pissed Jeans’ Matt Korvette, being straight edge in grade one and high school reunions, getting into punk and DIY culture and infusing it all with comedy, why a number of post-hardcore bands in the 1990s seemed to be named after American historical figures except for Franklin, playing shows, other future plans, and much more.
