Seattle's own Sub Pop Records, currently home to artists like Father John Misty, METZ, Shabazz Palaces and Mogwai, have launched their very own podcast series - and the first two are available to stream right now!
The podcasts are set to feature interviews with artists and people who work within the label, as well as their sister label Hardly Art, and much more.
"It's time to tell the Sub Pop story in our own way," reads an official press release. "Everyone we've ever been involved with has their own "Sub Pop story," and that's how we're choosing to tell it: through the people in our past, present, and maybe even future. "The podcast is the perfect vehicle to try to contain this sprawl in a (we think) entertaining way. And just like Sub Pop itself, the podcast will certainly change as it grows."
Considering the label's rich history, which included playing a huge role in the rise of grunge by releasing music from Nirvana, Mudhoney, Soundgarden and so on, I have no doubt that this series is going to be a seriously interesting listen.
Check out the first two episodes below, featuring Jonathan Meiburg of Shearwater, Cat Harris-White from THEESatisfaction, Ben Bridwell of Band of Horses, and plenty more. A new episode will be released every Wednesday until early April. But it doesn't stop there - a second season has already been confirmed.
