Hey, Brandon Poe here. We got a new episode of Making Coming Soon, but in the meantime,

I want to tell you about another podcast you should check out. It's a limited series from right

now-ish called High-Fee Kids Got Trauma, and it's out now. In High-Fee Kids Got Trauma,

host Pindarvis Harshal looks back to being a teenager in Oakland in 2006 to navigate the

shifting tides of a culture in transition, all set to the seminal sounds of the Bay Area's

High-Fee Movement, an era fueled by uptempo bass heavy songs with a free and fun love and vibe.

In conversation with friends, musicians, and the community at large,

Pindarvis uncovers the drugs, over-policing, the onset of gentrification, and the ongoing war

on terror that compounded the problem people were living through. Next up is the trailer for this

series, so take a listen, and then find and follow right now-ish wherever you're listening.

And we had to promote ourselves, since the music industry didn't know what to do with our sound.

Just the term High-Fee was, it meant something completely different to what it was commercialized as.

It wasn't a good thing, like they didn't say like, oh,
