Unfortunately, I think we will never top the NEXT TIME READ THE FINE PRINT cover, we stumbled onto that image on Instagram when the artist Gab Bois was almost unknown. Thank you for saying that! It’s actually something we put a lot of time into.

So talk about how you’ve picked album covers, cause Juno the bunny deserves to be a star, but all your covers are A+’s, I think NEXT TIME READ THE FINE PRINT has maybe one of the best album covers of the 2010s, full stop. We’ve definitely leaned into it for sure. Yeah, from the social media presence to your music videos to the songs themselves, fast, young, fun, there is a total vibe to all of it. All that was ever said was we are going to play fast. But all in all there was never a vibe discussion, it just was very organic. We wanted to call back to all the bands we loved in our even younger days, like Surf Curse, The Strokes, etc. So we knew it would have to be upbeat and honestly we didn’t take things too seriously. We did originally discuss two things: We want to play house parties, and we want to play mainly originals. I think part of it roots from just being young, but more so from our formation in college. Is being “fun” a discussed aesthetic of the band or just something that kinda happened naturally. Love that first TPC record and thank you for the very kind words!
It reminds me, not in sound maybe but in energy, like those early Tokyo Police Club records, just kinda reckless, fuck all goofiness, it’s so good. Spud Cannon as a band are, I’d say, fun in a way that few indie rock bands are any more. So… JUNO is among my favorite albums of 2021, “indie rock the way mom and dad used to make it,” as I’ve been pitching it to people. Grab a copy over on Bandcamp and find a selection of all the music they played that evening below! This edited transcript is from April 30th with Spud Cannon, whose album of the year contender indie rock spectacular JUNO arrives on June 25th courtesy of Good Eye Records. During the pandemic, Merry-Go-Round Magazine has been hosting Dime in the JQBX, a fun event where sometimes artists from across the musical spectrum come and hang out! During some of these events, Editor-in-Chief CJ Simonson attempts to navigate a short and often spontaneous interview in the chat with the artists! We figured why not save those and publish some of them, along with the songs that the artist played that night.
