Mike Harmeier, singer/chief-songwriter for Silverada (fka Mike and The Moonpies), crafts country songs that feel timeless, reminiscent of 90’s country and Outlaw Country, yet never retro. On this edition of Discologist, Eduardo and Kevin discuss Mike’s songwriting journey, the new self-titled album, the band’s new identity, and more!

If Country Music is king in 2017, then the gentlemen of Midland have got their eyes on the throne. Kevin and Marcus K. Dowling (Vice, Decades) are diving deep into the debut album from one of Nashville's latest, and greatest exports.

PLUS: Positive No is BACK, and sounding better than ever. Hang out as we spin "Y.A.A.Y.Y.," their most excellent new single from their most excellent new album, Partners In The Wild!

Marcus Dowling (Pitchfork, Bandcamp) and Casey Rae (Sirius XM) join Kevin in the newly upgraded rock-basement to prognosticate about the year before us.
