Episode 57 is now up on 🍏, google podcasts, Stitcher and others!

Today we have a guest who paid us a visit back in Episode 17, @kerricurtisart ! Kerriann has created an Instagram series of paintings showcasing her own work titled Art for the Afterlife, which you should most certainly check out!
We discussed a piece of music by @mgaband , a rock quintet from Tokyo. For our conversation, Kerriann has transcribed lyrics from Japanese to English of a song titled “Who Are You?” which will serve as a bit of a guidepost to our conversation. For fans of music that possess a high-octane energy such as The Get Up Kids, Kali Masi, Yellowcard and The Great Heights Band, I highly recommend making Mrs. Green Apple a staple in your record collection. Enjoy! Link in bio 😊🍏 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌👋🤘

Episode 56 is up on 🍏, Stitcher, Google Podcasts and other spots in podcast world! For this episode, we dialed up members of a new band known as @sosureofficial , which includes @sirbrendanofkelly and @seankellymusic of @aftmusic as well as drummer @kylepolk .
So Sure can be described as dream pop, shoegaze, post punk, and influenced by alternative music of the 80s and 90s. Their debut, 5-song EP Caffeine Drip is available via NoiseTrade and is also being streamed on Paste Magazine. So Sure has chosen 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the ACLU to aid in its urgent advocacy efforts to demand racial justice and end police brutality.
The group shared with me in advance that @theofficialmbv ‘s 1991 record “Loveless” had a strong influence on the band and their debut record. We jump back and forth quite a bit between Caffeine Drip and Loveless, so enjoy a bit of a two-fer of albums today!
