À propos de cet audio

 The Julies join Post-punk Heartstrings to reflect on their history, influences, and enduring impact. The conversation begins with a mention of The Holy Hour, the All-Cure podcast they recently appeared on, before diving into how each member discovered music.Chris recalls exploring his parents’ record collection—The Beatles, The Monkees, Dylan—and discovering Run DMC, Erasure, New Order, The Cure, and The Smiths. Patrick shares how a “good weird uncle” introduced him to The Cure and The Police, opening the door to The Clash and Siouxsie and the Banshees.Before The Julies, Chris ran sound for their precursor band, Garden Party. From there, The Julies formed, developing a sound shaped by shared influences, experimentation, and evolving tastes. They discuss The Church as an influence and soccer as an unexpected point of connection.The band recalls playing in the Philadelphia scene, crossing paths with bands like The Ocean Blue, and early live favorites like “Wake Up Christine” and “Wish”. They reminisce about creating their first self-made cassette, Discovery, and reflect on growing up in fundamentalist homes.Landing on Flying Tart Records allowed them a better creative fit than larger labels. Recording the January EP was formative, with Patrick excited by the studio experience. Working with Bill Campbell of The Throes captured their live energy—“Friday and Faithless” is highlighted as a standout. The feedback at the start of “Wake Up Christine” was a happy accident.The discussion moves to The Lost Mixes, with Dave Barbe of Sugar producing two tracks for a rawer sound. They then dive into the Lovelife EP, noting its unusual post-breakup release and enduring fan resonance, with stories of nationwide fans sharing its impact at the Always & Always release party.After the breakup, some members continued as Riviera, while Patrick relocated to Philadelphia and played with other bands. The Lost in Ohio reissue of Lovelife helped inspire new music as The Julies.They discuss recording Always & Always with producer Kyle Pulley at Headroom Studios, including its artwork and thematic ties to New Order’s Power, Corruption & Lies. Patrick jokes that if Heaven exists, it should have a dance floor—communal joy over streets of gold.Songs from Always & Always are explored:“Black Metal” — a B-side born from file-trading; Chris highlights the “black metal lyric sheet” line“The Weight of Your Hand” — guitar tones and textures“Symmetry” — imperfection, beauty, and emotional imbalance“Angels of the Underground” — a tribute to formative artists“Summermouth” — the song that moved the band as listeners as much as creators, guided by Alex’s musical leadershipTheir upcoming album (planned for February 2026) is intentionally sequenced as “a book”. Live shows remain uncertain, though fan interest is high, and Patrick’s project Tugboats gets a brief nod.The episode closes by revisiting the mystique of The Julies—the emotional weight and enduring impact of their music remain as strong as ever.Original members:Chris Newkirk – vocalsJohn Bada – bassGreg Hohman – drumsPatrick Zbyszewski – guitarCurrent members:Chris Newkirk – vocalsPatrick Zbyszewski – guitarAlex Yost – bass / multi-instrumentalist👉 Follow The Julies• Bandcamp: ⁠https://thejulies.bandcamp.com/music⁠• Spotify: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/artist/39TjpeRcKdR13572B3XHPm?si=omC1VfleRzGgLPaDmaeq1A⁠• Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/thejuliesofficial/⁠• Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/thejuliesofficial/?hl=en⁠👉 Follow Post-punk Heartstrings• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PostpunkHeartstrings/• YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Post-punkHeartstringsPod-wf5kp• Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3kngtZ8HsbDL0YFt4m6otZ?si=584433f19b9448b8• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/postpunkheartstrings/
