Rebel Hearts Podcast

Today, I got the chance to interview Aaron Weiss of the band mewithoutYou on their set of their upcoming video for their new song "Julia" that will be on the record that will be out everywhere by the time this episode comes out. I have been a fan of them for over 8 years now and I sat down to ask him about if being in a band for almost 20 years has broken or healed him, the new record, if he ever questions the lyrics he writes, and I also ask all about his collaboration with Paramore on the track "No Friend" and how he got involved and how trying to write from the point of view of someone so adored scared him. Music Featured: Becca Mancari "Good Woman" (http://www.beccamancari.com/)(https://www.facebook.com/Beccamancarimusic/)

Today, Cait is back again (or just another episode since this was the same day) and we talk about everywhere in Nashville we think you should visit, our trip, hanging out for the first time, and I touch on Ariana Grande getting blamed for leaving Mac Miller and being blamed for his tragic passing. Apologies for the echo, our Airbnb space where we recorded was wide open and the sound just kept bouncing and it doesn't help I project. Music Featured: Nightingail "Missing You" (https://nightingailmusic.bandcamp.com/)

Today, I finally got to do an episode with my best friend Cait where we recorded in Nashville, TN after Paramore's farewell show to their iconic 2017 album "After Laughter". We talked all about the show and how much closer to Nashville and Paramore we feel.

Today, Rebel Hearts has it's first interview. It is with the lovely Kat Hamilton formerly the front woman of the pop punk band "Manic Pixi". Kat talks about how the last year of her life with the band destroyed her and how she made the band her "God" and how she now believes in not making anyone or anything that high up above you, she talks about her new music, what it was like being the front woman to a band she felt wasn't going anywhere and how hard it was to heal. She also talks about how bands like Paramore and Death Cab for Cutie helped her release her most vulnerable to the bone music and what it means to people like her as a listener to hear people she has looked up to bearing their souls for strangers. Kat offers advice to girls starting or are in bands and I feel personally she had a lot of great things to say.

Today, I was asked if I would do an episode reviewing and talking about Paramore's 3rd album "Brand New Eyes" that came out in September of 2009. This album has a lot of weight to it for A LOT of reasons and came out during a really pivotal point in my life. This is a song by song review with 20-30 second clips of each song. All rights go to Paramore, Fueled by Ramen, and Atlantic records. I do not own any of the music.

Today, Pat and I did part 2 of the 2 part Lana Del Rey "Lust for Life" album review. The second half of the record is defiantly more political and has a lot more weight to it, it also has all of Pat's favorites on it. We both give an honest rating of it and talk about a lot of interesting topics that relate to this record and Lana herself. We do not own any of the music used in the episode, all copyrights go to Lana Del Rey.

Today, I am joined by my long time friend and Brand New expert, Sal. Sal has been a fan of Brand New since around the time their second record came out and approached me immediately following the Jesse Lacey sexual assault allegation statement was made. This episode we cover the statement, why it sucks, why it isn't okay, Kevin Devine's statement, the retiring of songs with bad content, and growing up on Long Island and how lyrics rooted in sexism makes a difference and why we need to educate and do better.
