Episode #434 – Worlds Worst
Loading
/

Worlds Worst is a four-piece punk band from Salt Lake City. The group’s lead singer, Andrew Aaronson, who you’re about to hear, actually joined our show in 2020. At the time, the group had just released their first EP. Since then, they released a second EP, called “EP 2,” and later, a full length self-titled album in March of 2023. The band gained a large following as they toured in between releases, venturing all over the US and hitting over thirty different cities with tour legs on both the East and West Coast.

In this episode, Andrew and the band’s bassist, Jake Phillips, talk about writing and recording their first album—their first time recording in a studio didn’t pan out the way they thought it would. Plus, they discuss what they call the “slacker ethos” and how it’s actually crucial to their band’s sonic fingerprint. Photo by @loosefitgarments courtesy of Worlds Worst.

Episode #492 — Sammy Brue

Musician Sammy Brue is folksy artist with a vision. His latest project chronicles the life of American singer-songwriter Justin Townes Earle, using Earle’s journals gifted to Brue. With inspirations like Robert Johnston and Woody Guthrie, Brue hopes the album will tell an “emotional, existential” story that perserves Earle’s legacy.
