    Interview: Frat Mouse

    Frat Mouse is a three-piece midwest- emo band from Los Angeles, California. Their rise in popularity was after the release of their single "bo2 zombies"; back then they were just high school kids making songs for fun in Truman's home. Now, they are college graduates with a large following amassing multiple continents and are growing more rapidly than ever. With a large online fanbase and very expressive shows and music, Frat Mouse is on the incline. I sat down with Griffin Meehan of the band and chatted with him about the politics of Frat Mouse, his favorite artists, and what makes the Frat community so special. Also check out Truman Sinclair’s debut album, “American Recordings” that is dropping February 14th on all streaming platforms.

    Interview: Grandeur

    Grandeur is a three-piece post-hardcore band from Delaware. They are loud, eclectic and the "meatiest of men". Their following consists of the "meat cult" full of "meat people" who dress up in suits and love to dance around and have fun. Throughout their tours they have had some wild stories and some insightful experiences. Join me for this super meaty interview. "A long career in music requires that an artist forms a long lasting connection with their fans. An artist must reach down deep and pull out their insides for the audience to see and connect on a deeper level. That’s exactly what you’ll see at a Grandeur show, literally. This Newark band along with their Meatman mascot have been playing music and encouraging listeners to shed their skin and enjoy their shows as a collective." - Danielle Johnson (https://www.gablemusicventures.com/the-scene/interview-grandeur-2024) Linktree: https://linktr.ee/grandeurdelaware Instagram : (@grandeurdelaware) https://www.instagram.com/grandeurdelaware/ Follow The Sound (@thesoundshownj) on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thesoundshownj/ Follow me (@soundslikekell) on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/soundslikekell/ Listen to The Sound on 89.1 WFDU-HD3 Mondays and Thursdays 7-9pm EST.
