Finding The Music with Dana Miller

Thu, 12 Aug 2021 13:36:26 -0300

It has been said, you never really know the true impact you have on others around you. While this is true for all of us, it was definitely the case for this week’s guest, Dana Miller. While the Music were recording their 2nd album, they were unaware there was an avid fan, complete with glitter and wings, searching the streets of Atlanta in hopes of a chance encounter. This week on the Music and More Podcast, Dana explains how her discovery of The Music as an unknown opening act was pure happenstance, but helped shape the person she would eventually become.

Welcome to the South

Thu, 05 Aug 2021 12:44:07 -0300

There’s an old cliche that you have a lifetime to make your first album and only a few months to make your second. This was certainly the case for The Music. After the success of the debut album, the lads found themselves on a 3 year world tour, shuttling from airport to hotel, recording radio-station idents across the American midwest and explaining to interviewers from Boston to Bangkok exactly how they came up with the band name. As exhausting as that sounds, imagine finally getting to take a break and then being told you have to leave home and go to America to record your second album. In this episode of Music and More, Adam shares his experiences recording the 2nd album Welcome to the North in the heart of the south, and the reality of Difficult Second Album Syndrome.

Thu, 25 Mar 2021 14:25:30 -0300

Twenty years ago four young lads from Kippax released their debut album, The Music. Just going through the track list it’s difficult to label what exactly this band was about.

Hut records with David Boyd

Thu, 11 Mar 2021 13:21:55 -0400

Throughout the 20th century, record labels were the dominant force behind the most successful artists. Hut Records, a subsidiary of Virgin, was responsible for bands like Smashing Pumpkins, The Verve, Placebo, Embrace, and of course The Music just to name a few. Before long, the internet, for better or worse, radically changed the music game.

B-Sides

Thu, 26 Nov 2020 16:03:27 -0400

A B-side was originally known as the song on the flip side of a 12" or 7" vinyl single. Depending on who you ask, B-side can be additional songs that were determined not to fit with the overall sound of an album, or some might classify B-sides as second class citizens; subpar compared to the songs on the A-side. On this episode, Adam and Pete discuss B-sides and how they fit into a bands catalogue of work.

Musical influences

On this episode of Music and More, Pete and I discuss what music influenced the various songs and albums in The Music as well as what is currently the influence of future creativity.
