Dream Wife on demanding some f&%king empathy
Manage episode 348335157 series 3250820
Today’s guests are a group of people I’ve been dying to have on since season 1! Dream Wife are a punk band based in London that I’ve gotten to know over the years and the list of what makes them special is endless. But if I had to condense it, I’d say this: they’re a stellar band who’ve hit the sweet spot between having killer tunes and constantly having something to say. Where many (arguably most) acts in the world are shy about sharing their beliefs and political standings, Dream Wife makes it as crystal clear as possible to know where they stand on…pretty much everything. Collectively, the band are strong advocates for unity, community, the rights of women and non-binary people, as well as the rights of LGBTQ people. Throughout my years of knowing them, I’ve been amazed by how they truly live what they preach. This new episode of the podcast is a mixture of things. Since it’s been a while since I’ve caught up with the band, we do explore the work that went into their adventurous second album, So When You Gonna? along with shedding light on their upcoming third album.
Be sure to check out the band’s latest single Leech, which you can also find as part of the official New Exchange Playlist.
