Customer Reviews
Our Debut Album
This podcast was a lot of fun, and I loved getting to peek into the process of writing a song. Dave and Grant have a great dynamic, and it was a lot of fun to listen along as they made their way through their album.
Thought I would hate it, but I LOVED it!
At first I was suspicious of this idea. What's going to be interesting about hearing two dudes try to write a song in an hour. Turns out: everything! Not only are the songs amazing, but you get really great insights into just what it takes to songwrite -- everything from brainstorming to production, mixing, etc. I don't play music, but as a music fan, this aspect really appeals to me. The hosts Graham and Dave are also really hilarious and charming, so not only do you feel like you're learning about writing songs, but you'll find yourself cracking up. Such a great show to listen to on a long commute!
Fantastic!
An absolute home run, Dave and Graham are the best
