Briana shares the journey from visual artist to punk vocalist, discussing the band's unique sound that echoes the raw energy of late '70s and early '80s post-punk. We get a glimpse into the collaborative dynamics of the band, their creative processes, and the serendipitous moments that led them to release music under Feel It Records.

The conversation also touches on sharing creativity and why Spread Joy chose to release their music under Creative Commons, emphasizing the communal spirit of music and art.

We also get a peek behind the scenes of their visually arresting music videos, crafted with an old-school aesthetic by a talented friend.
