    GLIMMERS

    Maggie and Alex of GLIMMERS join Foose and Ducky to talk about turning last-minute shows, independent touring, and creative chaos into momentum. They share how the band grew from their solo project, how they choose the opportunities worth saying yes to, and what it takes to keep moving when every show demands time, money, and energy. The conversation covers GLIMMERS’ evolving heavy pop-rock sound, songwriting and production, building a bigger creative world around their music, and the scene influences that shaped them. From A Day to Remember and Sum 41 to My Chemical Romance and Paramore, it's all there. It’s an honest, funny look at building an independent band that embraces the chaos and makes it part of the art. Key topics: How the band chose its nameDeciding which shows, festivals, and tours are worth acceptingBalancing perfectionism with releasing musicBuilding the band’s next creative eraExisting as solo acts vs. the bandIndependent touring, production, and growing a communityPop-punk and scene influencesAnd whatever is happening in those Christmas pictures Chapters 00:00 Intro 01:19 Excitement for Upcoming Shows 04:38 Navigating the Chaos of Touring 11:22 Transitioning from Solo Acts to Band Collaboration 15:31 The Origin of the Name 'Glimmers' 18:45 Photoshoot Hijinks 23:55 Glimmers Gateways 30:38 Touring and Upcoming Projects 32:14 Evolving Sound and Creative Process 41:55 Defining Alternative Music Today 48:13 Dream Collaborations and Fan Experiences 53:03 Vocal Care and Pre-Show Rituals 01:06:04 Engaging with Fans and Community 01:07:55 Touring Life and Its Challenges

    What Even Is Alternative? feat. FELICITY

    What Even is Alternative? Track Marks digs into what “alternative” actually means now, from radio labels and genre buckets to DIY ethics, community, and whether success changes the meaning. The conversation starts with Ducky and Foose unpacking the term for themselves, then brings in Drew from Felicity to explore how a band built on genre fluidity, trash rock, and fan-first values fits into the modern alt space. We discuss how alternative moved from a radio category to a vibe, why emo and pop punk became generational markers, and what happens when bands grow from underground favorites into bigger names. Felicity also shares how their sound developed across Mixtape Volume One and Volume Two, how Florida shaped their scene, and why they still care more about connection than fitting a label. Key topics - What “alternative” means today, and whether it’s still a genre or more of an attitude. - How radio, streaming, and social platforms changed the way people discover alt music. - Why genre labels like emo, pop punk, ska, and hardcore still matter to fans. - Whether a band can get bigger without losing its alternative identity. - How Felicity defines its sound through “trash rock” and genre fluidity. - Why community, DIY ethics, and fan connection matter as much as the music itself. - How the Florida scene shaped Felicity’s growth and creative direction. - Why alt music keeps evolving, even when the label itself feels fuzzy.
