#33 - Ghost Town Remedy (TJ & Steve)

I had the opportunity to chat with TJ and Steve of Ghost Town
Remedy this week about their "debut" album called "Dry Spell" and
so many other topics. This interview included defining the
meaning of "Rad Dad Rock" and TJ explaining his father's love for
Britney Spears' music. We all agreed on having a hard time
listening to Pink Floyd and I admit that I can't listen to the
Grateful Dead because of their long songs. I tell TJ and Steve
their music sounds like Rozwell Kid. We have an extensive
conversation about "Dry Spell." TJ talks about paying tribute to
his brother on this album. Steve wrote a song about Taco Bell. TJ
and Steve tell the story behind the song and even bring up
another time when they spent around $100 at a Taco Bell in
Missouri. They also explain how they made an original first album
a few years ago, but it had more of a folk sound, which the band
has transitioned away from. TJ tells the story behind Therapy and
tells us about how he took out his guitar while having an
argument with his ex-girlfriend. Steve explains the ultimate
meaning behind the album is that it's okay to seek help. The
entire album is basically the band's "group therapy." Plus some
prize content like meeting at a Christmas concert, their move to
Nashville from Virginia, Steve expressing his hate for Ewoks
during a Star Wars conversation, the three of us talking about
80's movies, and the band playing at a strip club. Give a listen
