We gotta start a band so we can get out of Ohio! This week's guest on Discover New Music is Jeremy DePoyster of The Devil Wears Prada. The tone of the band's ninth studio album "Flowers" is immediately set by the open track "Where the Flowers Never Grow" and takes the listener on a "Dantes Inferno"-esque descent to the bottom and then climb back out. We also get a look into the sound mindset the band was going for throughout the entire three year process of making the record. Plus, DePoyster talks 20 years of DWP and what the milestone means to him and the band...and hopefully a ride that never ends! As always, a quick round of Rapid Fire is played...and getting punched in the face sucks!

I cried at a Dayseeker show and all I got was this t-shirt! This week's guest on Discover New Music is Rory Rodriguez of Dayseeker. The band's sixth album "Creature In The Black Night" is, according to Rodriguez, their darkest work yet. And even though it has a central "horror" theme, that wasn't the plan when they started working on it. Rory talks about having a secret weapon in producer Daniel Braunstein who he says is "like having a fifth member of the band." And, we get an answer on what he means when he says the band plays "sad rock." As always, a quick round of Rapid Fire is played...with a Vanilla Ice thinker.
