Dan shares a conversation between The Flying Vees and Phillip Reese of Your Next Favorite Band. Originally airing back in April, the band members Brechyn Chase, Shannon Vasile, Caitlin Ramsey, and Hannah Taylor talk about how they all met and formed the band back in 2018. Even though they can go a while between times they see each other, they're able to dial in quickly when they get chance to rehearse and perform, and their harmonies and stage show are proof of how naturally this all comes to them.  The Flying Vees have a brand new EP coming out, and they'll be celebrating with a release show on Sunday, July 13th at the Philadelphia Ethical Soceity in Rittenhouse Square (an absolutely gorgeous space to see live music). Show starts at 5pm, so get there early to see the band that long-time Philadelphia music promoter Jesse Lundy prasies as "Cooler than G. G. Allin." Special thanks to Phillip Reese and the team over at Your Next Favorite Band for graciously letting us give this interview an encore release. Check out Your Next Favorite Band to, appropriately, discover your next favorite band. If you're heading to Musikfest up in Bethlehem, PA this August, let YNFB take the guesswork out of who to go see with their daily coverage of the fest, as well as their Musikfest Exordium on July 29th to get you up to speed before the fest starts.

Because of the way music is distributed and marketed these days, it's hard to precisely define what qualifies as ‘indie'. In this episode, we attempt to lay out the degrees of ‘independence' most releases fall under, imagine what an Indian indie music chart might look like, and discuss how far it would help or harm musicians working outside of the major label ecosystem. As always, we look at the key movements on the Spotify Weekly Top Songs India chart, this time for the survey published on June 13, 2025.

In this powerful return episode, Chris G sits down with Orlando-based rapper, singer, and voiceover artist E-Turn — one of the most respected indie artists in the Southeast. With a deep catalog, multiple Florida tours, and voiceover credits for brands like Kmart, E-Turn shares her wisdom on building an independent music career with intention, grit, and grace. We dive into the realities of DIY touring, how she landed her first tour with Homeboy Sandman, tips for booking shows the right way, and the surprising overlap between voice acting and the music business. E-Turn also shares her pivot into voiceover work, managing burnout, and why aligning your craft with your purpose is essential for long-term success. Whether you're an artist, promoter, or someone navigating the creative industry, this conversation is full of gold — from tour booking strategies and energy management on the road to monetizing your voice in unexpected ways.
