Live on tape from my house in Los Angeles. I'm Jesse Thorn, and this is the Sound of

Young America from MaximumFun.org.

Radio sweetheart, on the airways, it's the Sound of Young America.

Maximum fun. Maximum fun. Maximum fun.

Hey there, it's Jesse. I'm sorry to see the Sound of Young America's Chris Bowman head back

to Toronto, Canada next week, but I'm happy to present to you his thesis project of a sort.

It's a great interview with the Los Angeles-based Indypop group, The Submarines. Enjoy.

It's the Sound of Young America. My name is Chris Bowman. My guests today are Blake

Hazard and John, and possibly the best last name I've heard, Dragon Eddy. Together they are

The Submarines, and they've been doing their best to give all of us hopeless romantics,

hope, to provide hope for us. Guys, welcome to the show. Thank you for having us.

So first of all, I wanted to tackle, I guess, something you're used to answering and discussing

is how you met and the origins of the band. You met in Boston, correct?

Yeah, yeah. And the relationship sort of moved to Los Angeles.

Yeah. And then...

You followed us here.

It followed you here, right? Has relationships with you?

Yes. And maybe, can you take it from there and just kind of give us a little detail?

Yeah, sure. Well, we moved to Los Angeles about four and a half years ago, I guess.
