So now, ladies and P.O. From WEEZ Chicago and PRX, this is sound opinions. I'm Greg Kot.

And I'm Jim De Regottis. Rock and roll is traditionally a young person's game, but some artists managed to achieve

success later in life. Greg and I are going to share some of our favorite musical

late bloomers. Plus we'll review the new album from Rock All-Star Group

filthy Friends.

There's an off the door.

There's a mock-up escape.

All the heavy rival. And the front one one of the Little Dragon shares the song that got her hooked on

Sonics. That's all coming up on sound opinions.

This is sound opinions and coming up our favorite late bloomers. It is inspiring in many ways to see artists who didn't begin to have success until their 30s, 40s, or later.

We're going to dig into that topic in a little bit,

but first we've got some new music to talk about. The first was still in the socket when you walked through the door.

Nervous glass fell away like the laughter the two of us explored.

That is the song Any Kind of Crowd from the debut album by Filthy Friends called Invitation. Filthy Friends formed in 2012, it's an all-star group of sorts of indie rock, alternative

rock of the last 20 to 30 years. You have Peter Buck of

R.E. M. as the guitar player in this band and Corin Tucker of Slater Kinney as the

lead vocalist. In addition you've got some pretty big names in the

indie rock scene, Kurt Bloke of Fastbacks, Scott McCoy of the minus five, Bill

Reflin who's drummed with just about everybody including King Crimson,

they're all on this album together.

Now they started out as kind of a lark.

They were basically a cover band at the start, and then they started writing some original music.
