RIML: Holy Fuck

Broods on Records In My Life

We had a really fun interview with Georgia and Caleb Nott from the New Zealand band Broods.   They are on a world tour in support of their second album "Conscious" and we managed to chat with them before their soundcheck at the Vogue Theater here in Vancouver, Canada.  The siblings had an obvious dynamic about them, and both were very familiar with each other's favorites and influences.  Really great interview from a talented young band who gave a slick performance later that evening.  One of our best shows yet!

ACTORS on Records In My LIfe

We had the chance to interview Jason Corbett of the Vancouver band ACTORS and asked him to reveal some of his favorite local Vancouver band albums.  We filmed this on a cloud-free day down by the water at Science World here in Vancouver, something very different for the usually studio bound Corbett!  Among his list were albums from War Baby, Red Vienna, the still to be released new album from Sex With Strangers, as well as Combine the Victorious' "Autonomous" album (the source of the the theme music for the RIML series!) After giving us details on the local albums he then revealed a top three from his personal collection, including a detailed story of buying The Clash's London Calling.
