Fly On The Call - Candid Conversations on Music Scott Fugger & Sound Talent Media

CLIFFDIVER are back and you're gonna be in trouble! I'm so stoked to bring you today my second episode with one of my favorite bands, this time featuring the new voice, and addition to the band, Briana Wright. She, along with co-vocalist Joey Duffy, are giving us the rundown on their debut album, Exercise Your Demons. We of course hit on bringing a second vocalist to the band and how everything just clicked together with it. With deeply personal lyrics being part of CLIFFDIVER's signature style there was definitely some opening up to each other that needed to be done, but once they realized the combined story they were telling they were off the the races. We discuss losing yourself fully to the band and your bandmates, applying your own value to others' lyrics, and the light within some of the darkest moments on the album.

Today I'm talking to Posture & The Grizzly for the first new episode of Fly On The Call in a hot minute! The band has always flown a bit under the radar, while gathering an extremely dedicated fan base, but they are clear: they're in it for the long haul. We're discussing taking your time to allow music to happen organically, the setbacks, triumphs, and, of course, the process of their self titled LP 3. The band is wrapping up a tour with two Virginia shows, as DC show, and Philly in the next few days so if you're in the area and looking to hit up a sweet punk show, they've got you covered!

Pictoria Vark's The Parts I Dread is one hell of a debut. Intentional, spacious, and intimate, this bass-centered music doesn't quite have a singular point of comparison - but that just makes it even better. Our conversation hits on this unique space her music fills, using additional instrumentation to further storytelling, balancing her solo work while being a hired bassist for touring bands, and a whole lot more.

Proper. have done it again - they dropped the best album of their career with The Great American Novel. Bringing in issues of identity, race, sex, and life in the 21st century this record is an in your face assessment of Erik Garlington's inner thoughts. And he's returning for the first time since the very first episode of Fly On The Call to break down the album, writing with Dan Campbell of The Wonder Years, being difficult to work with, being in a band that does exactly what they want, and a whole lot more. Check it out now, along with the other new episode that dropped today with UK punk band Brutalligators.

For the first of two new episodes today we're hopping over to the UK to talk to Brutalligators. They're a punk band with an edge and a healthy dose of emo, in the vein of PUP, Spanish Love Songs, or Latterman. Their debut LP, This house is too big, this house is too small, is not your average break-up record - it's a cohesive journey through grief, mental health, inclusion, and identity. So give it a spin, enjoy the episode, and check out the other new episode where the very first guest of Fly On The Call, Proper., returns!

Absolution, out tomorrow, is an absolute heater and a level-up for Riverby in just about every way. From changes in sonic palette, to a more collaborative process, and working with Jim Wert in the studio Absolution is all about making the music the band wants and making it sound the best it can. We're talking all that as well as accidentally creating a concept album, the plans for the Riverby cinematic universe, and more.
