Episode Details

“I felt like I couldn’t tell a full story in four songs-I wanted the album to have a narrative arch, a whole, fully story that you have to listen to at once.”

Proper. is a POC, queer Brooklyn based band who is ushering in a conversation into the emo/pop-punk scene about growing up in white suburbia and being into the music that they are.

Their most recent album,* I Spent The Winter Writing Songs About Getting Better* recieved great review from The Alternative and even Pitchfork (a 7.4 rating!) and is totally inspired by The Wonder Years. Erik Garlington, the lead singer of Proper., says he recieved Dan "Soupy" Campbell's blessing about using the title for the album.

They are playing a SOLD OUT holiday show with Aaron West and the Roaring Twenties and Jade from Oso Oso at the Starland Ballroom on Dec. 14! What we're saying is: check this band out so you can say you listened to them before they blew up.

Since Brian was working AND sick, we invited former guest, Ariel Atkins from BLMChicago to help guest host.
