What band did you discover in 2023 (can be a brand new band or an older band) that had an impact on your life? How so?
I listened to the Pixies a lot more in 2023 than ever before. Killer guitar work and layers in that band.
How will you remember 2023 (in terms of music)?
Putting out some killer singles we’re proud of. Making videos. Blocking the psychos. Embracing the lovers. Getting healthy and relearning how to approach songwriting. I think 2023 will be remembered as the year we really started to work together as a band at peak positivity and creativity. Also it was so cool to collaborate with my best friend of 30+ years, Danny Hoover on “Dead Before I Hit The Ground.”
What can we look forward to from you in 2024?
Don’t think I can talk about it as of this press release? Don’t wanna mess things up for Toby/Red Scare, haha, but you will hear new Broadway Calls very soon! Also, tour with Teenage Bottlerocket in the Southeast in February!
What records are you looking forward to most in 2024?
Morrissey - Bonfire Of The Teenagers
With physical media sales seemingly less popular than ever, what are some the best ways that fans can help to support the musicians when they go to a live show?
If you’re talking financially, buy a shirt. If you’re talking emotionally, just be happy to be there. Don’t be a bummer. Please remember that if you buy a ticket to a show, that the artist doesn’t owe you anything except a live performance. People have become very weird with their para-social relationships to artists in the past few years. I promise we’ve never looked back on a show with fondness because of merch sales, it’s always been about the vibes and good times. Don’t be scared to rock out. Don’t be scared to ask for songs or hugs or whatever, but just be cool.
