Aren’t We Amphibians Don’t Care About Genres – Emo Meets Prog & Post-Punk

This week I sit down with Aren’t We Amphibians to talk about their creative process, their new record “Parade! Parade!” (out now), their eclectic sound that mixes emo, indie rock, prog, and post-punk, and the story behind their King of the Hill sample. We also explore their DIY approach, their philosophy on music as art, and what’s coming next for the band.
