Karl Blau takes over the show again, this time to speak with members of our mutual friends Hermit Thrushes, recorded at various locations in Philly back in 2021. Band members Yianni Kourmadas, Taryn Jones and Andrew Keller share why they use the cheapest gear possible, their experiences with bars vs D.I.Y. and all ages spaces, musical influences, and tour stories including how they rebounded from a robbery. The group often learns new material by way of MIDI demos, and we’ll be hearing a clip from one of them.

Spencer Carrow, who spent a decade with the group, speaks with Markly Morrison for the introduction.
