3 жыл бұрынToday’s guest is a New York City-based indie pop band composed of brothers Adam (vocals/bass), Jack (vocals/guitar), and Ryan Met (ukulele/piano/vocals). The band is a DIY pop group who write, produce, and mix their own material in the living room of their Chelsea apartment. Their music style has been described as “eclectic”, combining elements of pop, barbershop, electronic, and dubstep music. They have opened for Demi Lovato, Hoodie Allen and the Wanted. In 2013 the trio released their debut independent single, "I'm Ready." Well-received, the track peaked at number 27 on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40 chart, and appeared on an initial EP as well as the band's 2015 full-length debut album, Living Room. Today, the Multi Platinum indie pop trio have made their first Top 10 entry on the Billboard Hot 100 with their hit single, “Bang!”. It cracked Top 10 at three radio formats-peaking at No. 6 on Pop Radio, No. 2 on Alternative Radio and No. 1 on Adult Pop Radio-and is double platinum certified, marking their sixth platinum song to date. And The Writer Is… Jack and Ryan of AJR!

I think it's interesting that ryan says that pop and theatre music are separated by the act of storytelling because it makes me think of country music, because popular country songs that people love (even those who don't normally like country music) tell stories and that makes them interesting. examples include: the devil went down to georgia, church bells, blown away, the entire subculture in country of women murdering abusive or cheating men. but the difference is that those songs tell the whole story in 3-6 minutes. The reason hamilton doesn't have a radio hit is because the songs all tell a piece of the story not the whole thing so it leaves the listener disappointed and without an ending if you were to switch from guns and ships for example to good to be alive. but if the song finishes the story the listener gets a satisfying ending and can then move to the next experience for example from two black cadillacs to 5150 isn't that big of a jump.

10:30 The listener should be thinking "what does this song mean to me? and how can i connect it to my life?"

Could you look any less interested as an interviewer? Hand on your face scrolling your mouse looking at your monitor instead of the person talking...Good job
