Aren’t We Amphibians: Emo, Indie, and the Art of Breaking Genre Rules

On this episode of OurSpace with Matt Vettese, I’m joined by Aren’t We Amphibians, the genre-bending alternative/emo band blending indie rock, prog, and post-punk into a sound that’s all their own.
We dive into the making of their latest record, their creative process, and how they balance experimentation with catchy songwriting. The band opens up about sampling King of the Hill, navigating the DIY scene, and why they’re determined to carve out a space outside of traditional genre boxes.
If you’re a fan of emo, indie rock, math rock, or post-punk revival, this is a must-listen conversation with one of the most exciting underground acts today.

Pretoria on Breaking Genre Boxes, 3 Guitars & Moving to Chicago

This week on OurSpace with Matt Vettese, I sit down with Ben and Matt from Pretoria to talk about their latest EP If We’re Pretending — a coming-of-age record about identity, transition, and chasing dreams even when it feels impossible.
We dive into:
-Why Pretoria refuses to be boxed into one genre-How they make 3 guitarists actually work live-The leap from Grand Rapids to Chicago and how it changed everything-Getting “weird” (in the best way) on their new release-Writing beyond the traditional “boy meets girl” lens
If you love indie rock, power pop, or just discovering your new favorite band, you’ll want to give this one a listen.
