Music For Each Season with Greg Almeida of Secret Gardens

What defines a "Summer song" or a "Winter song?"
If you're anything like me your brain categorizes music by seasons, so when I heard of Secret Gardens and their recent tetralogy of seasonal albums I knew we had to talk about it.
In my chat with Greg Almeida we discussed:
-Writing songs for each season -What it was like writing or producing songs out of season -What constitutes a song for each season ...and more!

Why Emo Nostalgia Should Die with Dylan Slocum of Spanish Love Songs

Spanish Love Songs are one of those bands that define the "millennial struggle." Thematically, they write songs that every millennial can relate to, from job loss and financial struggles to self identity and death. They have quickly been become one of my favourite emo bands.
 
In my chat with Dylan Slocum we discussed:
-The nostalgia side of emo and why Dylan is over it-The ups and downs of touring-Being an "older" musician on the road with young bands-Possible new music?-Differences between their records-Why they don't play much from Schmaltz live
