This is the story of the band that almost was. You won’t hear what this band sounds like. You won’t even learn their name. But you know this band, even if you don’t. Even If It Kills Me is a narrative documentary podcast, chronicling the lives of Jon, Ryan, Mac and Pete as they set out across the country and try to make it as rockstars in the bygone era of the ‘00s. Each episode uses contemporary interviews and archival recordings to pull back the curtain on the nitty-gritty inner workings of tour life, all unfolding during the music industry’s own fall of Rome, as massive technological shifts upended business models that had existed for decades. First two episodes available everywhere June 26. Tune in weekly for the next chapter in this six-part miniseries.This show is brought to you by Manhead Merch https://www.manheadmerch.com/Even If It Kills Me is a FANG workshop productionWritten and Narrated by Aaron JoyProduced by Jon Lullo and Brendan WalterFeaturing original music by Alex DezenOriginal theme by Matt McGinleyevenifitkillsmepodcast.comfangworkshop.commattmcginleymusic.comalexdezen.comHosted on Ausha.
