Everclear singer-songwriter Art Alexakis joins Kyle Meredith to talk about the band’s new live album, Live At The Whiskey A Go Go. The frontman starts by proclaiming that he’s done with making albums and plans to concentrate more on singles and live releases before the conversation turns to his history of writing lyrics that seem to narrate a much bigger story throughout their catalog, lyrics that include plenty of easter eggs for longtime fans. Alexakis gives the backstories on “Father of Mine” and “Local God,” the latter written for Baz Lurman’s Romeo + Juliet, and why “Nervous and Weird” and “Fire Maple Song,” both from the band’s debut LP World of Noise, still excite and resonate with him. The live album also includes two new studio cuts at the end, “Year of the Tiger” and “Sing Away,” which features his own daughter in the music video, leading the conversation to consider how his penchant for writing with the hardships of youth, and his own battles, have lead to many of the relatable moments found in som

Paul Rodgers joins Kyle Meredith to talk about Midnight Rose, the legendary singer’s first album of originals in over twenty years.

Rodgers also tells us how the song “Take Love” has roots from his time fronting Queen in the 2000s, before heading back to 1983’s Cut Loose (his first solo LP) and how it arrived in the aftermath of Bad Company’s breakup and the death of his friend, Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, as well as why he chose to re-record the Cut Loose track “Live In Peace” with Jimmy Page in their band The Firm.Listen to Paul Rodgers sit and chat about all this and more in the new episode or watch it on Youtube.

The Kills drop by to catch up with Kyle Meredith about their latest album, God Games. Alison Mosshart and Jamie Hince take us through the challenges they put in place for themselves, including playing instruments they had never played before and staying away from the ones they’re known for, as well as the magic in naivety. Jamie then dives into recording “Godless Spirituals” in a church studio, one they preferred to stay deep in the depths of the dark basement studio rooms, along with the time of year when Los Angeles starts to feel “witchy,” while Alison describes the strange feelings in the country during the pandemic that led to the song “301”. The two also look back on the 2003 album Keep On Your Mean Side and consider how this new set might speak to that debut LP, as well as their place in the fabric of the 2000s music scene.Listen to The Kills sit and chat about all this and more in the new episode or watch it on Youtube.

David Yates & Lawrence Grey join Kyle Meredith to talk about the film, Pain Hustlers (out now on Netflix), which tells the story of Liza Drake (Emily Blunt), a blue-collar single mom who has just lost her job and is at the end of her rope when a chance meeting with pharmaceutical sales rep played by Chris Evans puts her on an upwards trajectory economically - but dubious path ethically - as she becomes entangled in a dangerous racketeering scheme. Dealing with her increasingly unhinged boss (Andy Garcia), the worsening medical condition of her daughter (Chloe Coleman), and a growing awareness of the devastation the company is causing forces Liza to examine her choices and ultimately gives a revealing look at what some people do out of desperation and others do out of greed. The director and producer discuss why they wanted to take on a story about the fentanyl epidemic and how this movie shows us a look behind the curtain of Big Pharma, as told through the sales reps. Grey, who also produced the Steven So

Boy Named Banjo joined Kyle Meredith backstage at the Bourbon & Beyond festival in Louisville, KY in an interview originally recorded for Fender Premium Audio and Nissan Trucks. The band dug into their major label debut album, Dusk, which arrives a decade after their first, self-released LP, The Tanglewood Sessions, and what the evolution of their sound and songwriting has looked like in hindsight. Barton Davies, William Reames, Willard Logan, Sam McCullough, and Ford Garrard discuss the album’s tale of the stages of a relationship and how the record is a part one of a bigger release, mixing the album with car speakers and driving in mind, and their favorite artists to listen to on late night drives, including The Killers, Eagles, Motorhead, Underoath, & Sugarloaf. The Nashville-based band also talks about why whiskey plays a big part in their music, the story behind their latest single, “Something ‘Bout A Sunset,” and how Mike Dirnt of Green Day inspired one member to pick up a Fender bass.Listen to
