The Run For Cover Podcast

For episode 7 of the Run For Cover podcast, we’re discussing the iconic self-titled album from TIGERS JAW with vocalist, keyboardist and creative director Brianna Collins. We talk about the one-of-a-kind energy that was bustling in mid-2000’s Northeast Pennsylvania music scene and how Tigers Jaw formed, with Brianna joining the band after being asked over a fateful AOL Instant Messenger exchange....

On Episode 5 of the RFC Podcast we’re breaking down GUV I & II, the ambitious label-debut from the enigmatic YOUNG GUV. Guv aka Ben Cook joins us from his newest homestead of Lisbon and we discuss his career in detail.

We discuss how Pity Sex’s roots in hardcore, emo and punk lead them to create a unique sound that takes influence from shoegaze and 90’s alt-rock, but with a markedly shorter run-time than the songs of those predecessors. We touch on how & when Pit...

Episode 2 of the RFC Pod is a discussion on Citizen’s 2013 debut album Youth with guitarist Nick Hamm. Youth is a monumental album in the RFC catalog that turned ten years old last year, which the band marked with a deluxe reissue & a summer’s worth of sold out album play-through shows across the US. While the album has an enduring legacy because of its raw, emotional sound and iconic album ar...

On the inaugural episode of the Run For Cover Podcast, we’re joined by Basement guitarist & one-time RFC employee Alex Henery to discuss the band’s 2012 LP Colourmeinkindness. Basement’s second album was their at-the-time swan song LP, released only months before they disbanded - luckily for all of us, that break up didn’t last very long. Alex gives a detailed oral history of how the band came...
