  • 5.0 (15)
  • Music Commentary

Kelley Deal and Mike Montgomery of the band R.RING talk about songwriting, ghosts, salamanders and the weather...a LOT. The music of R.RING is sparse, abrasive, chaotic and lulling... often within the same song. Kelley also plays with The Breeders in Dayton, OH. Mike owns and operates Candyland Recording Studio in Dayton, KY as well as playing in the band Ampline and releasing solo music under the name 'Nervous Verbs'.
