This episode I'm trying something a bit different and speaking with a Canadian artist who was influenced by the Canadian music of the '90s. My friend Andre kindly agreed to be the first of such a series, so he chats about his latest record, his love of OLP, Alanis, BNL, how they influenced the music he makes and his vocal style. If you're not familiar with his band, they take the best of '80s hair metal, '90s alt rock and '00s emo and make it their own thing.
