In Episode 36, Brandon sits down with indie rock band The Dumes to discuss the catharsis of songwriting, finding inspiration in the hard moments, and the liberation that comes from allowing yourself to just be fucking angry. Coming off the final day of SXSW in Austin, Texas, Elodie Tomlinson, Chris Dunn, Liam McCormack, Pete Recine, and Kyle Biane share what it takes to get recognized as an independent band in 2022, the level of stoked they felt to open for Sammy Hagar on the main stage during SXSW, and their process of recording their first EP with famed producer Joe Chiccarelli right as LA’s lockdown orders hit. Band members Kyle and Pete share their journey of turning LA Musician and Community Builder Laura Peters’ home into a recording studio, The Market, after her passing, where they continue to foster and build LA’s music community. Tune in to also hear front-woman Elodie spin a tale of the fateful mushroom journey that ultimately unlocked a healthy outlet for her anger and led to the formation of this powerful band.

Be sure to stick around until the end of the show to hear The Dumes new single, “Staring at the Wall.”
