Episode #201 - Tokyo Police Club

It is totally Travis Shettel day on BTB! You may know him as the frontman of the band Piebald, but we now know him as our new best friend! And there is huge news for Piebald fans in this episode!

Randomly run really fast at this tender, funny, and slightly existential chat with Kelley and Mina of Daisy the Great, about books, 311, speed boats, chaos things, and their new album THE RUBBER TEETH TALK which drops on June 27th!

Hell yeah! We got to bother and befriend Missy of the killer band Mannequin Pussy, and man o man, she's got stories for days so listen the F up!

On this very special episode (recorded on Take Your Kid to Work Day) the show is taken over by Lennon, the daughter of host Ryan Buynak. You may recognize her iconic intro music, but today she’s in charge, and she’s bothering a very special guest: Utkarsh Ambudkar (actor, musician, renaissance man, and star of her favorite show, Ghosts)!

Bothering the Band is back with Luke & Mitch of Born Ruffians, whose new album BEAUTY'S PRIDE drops June 6 on Yep Roc Records! 

In this very special and very funny bucket list episode, we sit down with the elusive, brilliant, and downright hilarious Zach Condon of Beirut, who opens up about comedy, skateboarding, doo-whop, porridge, and more!

G’day, lemons and legends, we have an epic special episode with Dope Lemon aka Angus Stone, who's new album 'Golden Wolf' drops on May 2nd!

We withdrew some philosophy and punk rock on our last episode of 2024 and Season 4 with Nikki and Ben of the badass Brooklyn band BODEGA.

We finally got to bother comedian Brooks Wheelan! He is a huge music fan and has a hilarious new special out called Alive in Alaska. Watch that. Listen to this. Believe in your dreams.

Skanking back into the mind of our friend Aaron Carnes to talk about gods, video games, the new edition of his incredible book "In Defense of Ska"...and so much more!
