Bad Apple Records Podcast Episodes The Bad Apple Records Podcast

Brandon is missing!!! (Ok, not really, we just really like the opening crawl to Star Wars: The Force Awakens.) Actually, he is taking a (hopefully) brief vacation visiting Re-Education Camp to talk about their new LP "Challenge the League" which drops May 19th. You can get an early copy now for only $3 on Patreon, and as a bonus you get instant access to our entire catalog of 25 albums reaching back to 2001. Visit http://badapplerecords.net/re-education-camps-challenge-league-details/?utm_source=Podcast%20Show%20Notes&utm_term=Challenge%20the%20League for details on this, the official album release, upcoming music videos, and more...

In This Episode:
• Who is "the league" and why are we challenging them?
• Collaboration vs. producing solo
• What makes art edgy, and does that always make it better?
• Why does Rob Thomas always look so pissed/horrified?
• Help the Police: https://youtu.be/4Kf4kyQabwQ
• Is Doc Johnny whiter than Sinbad? (Spoiler: No)
• Joe the Manager hacks up a hairball
• More about the tracks "7 O'Clock" and "Acoustic Leviathan"
• more...

Brandon throws out his shoulder working out and finds out that oven mitts are not ideal for ice packs. Sarah is the hash tag queen, but she forgets the name of Betty White's character in the Golden Girls.

And the wait is finally over... for some of you. Sempevivi is dropping the full band "Always Alive" EP on April 4th, but you can have it today if you support Bad Apple Records on Patreon! Details in the show and on our website.

We're getting very close to the full band EP release from Sempervivi, "Always Alive" as well as Re-Education Camp's "Challenge the League" LP! Brandon also discusses a dream he had about a band that doesn't exist and a record that will never be made - and why it makes him so sad.

Brandon and Sarah are puppy sitting again. Hear Brandon narrate the experience of stepping in pee while trying to give various updates and praise for the film Arrival. We also discuss the stigma around cover bands in the independent music scene.

Then Bad Apple artist Bethany Pedigo brings us an interview with her friend Aimee Congdon of Band Zazzy. Aimee will be performing some guest vocals on Bethany's upcoming debut LP, but her band has been performing pretty heavily in and around Bowling Green, KY for the last year or so. Starting out as a cover band, they are also starting to work on their first round of original material...
