Episode Details

When it was time to record a new album, Ballyhoo! knew that they needed to shake things up. When the opportunity to work with acclaimed producer John Feldmann was presented, the band jumped on it, and the results were undeniable. The title track “Bad Summer” is an over-the-top, catchy-as-hell pop masterpiece, simultaneously capturing the vibes of summer and the feeling of relationship anxiety. In this week’s episode, vocalist and guitarist Howi Spangler sits in to discuss the creation of the song that has quickly become a highlight of the Ballyhoo! catalog.
