Summary

Ian and Steve looked ahead to the next three months and picked their most anticipated albums, tours, and trends! That's right — they hashed out future trends this time (29:46).

In the meat of the episode, they talk about whether upcoming albums by Blondshell and 100 Gecs will live up to expectations this spring (31:12). Then they looked at the "Indie Rock Road Trip" tour set for June that has an interesting assemblage of bands: Weezer, Modest Mouse, Future Islands, Spoon, Momma, Joyce Manor and White Reaper (45:11). Is this the solution to the over-saturation of the live music market? Should we expect to see more traveling festivals that package together sort-of-but-not-really-alike bands?

In Recommendation Corner (59:17), Ian talked up A New Tomorrow by hardcore band Zulu, while Steve raved about Girl In The Half Pearl by avant-R&B artist Liv.e.
