*** PODCAST #102 Aaron Wamack (Me And Him Call It Us, O'Brother) ***

     Back in 2013 I started this blog. That same a fellow showed me ME AND HIM CALL IT US. I kinda liked it but thought it was a bit chaotic and grindy. In 2016 I became obsessed with the band, and in 2017 wrote this review. In 2020 Wax Vessel released the ME AND HIM CALL IT US 'Epilogue' 3x12" discography and the band came into view once again, but dare I say on a bigger platform. I eventually gathered up the courage to ask drummer/vocalist Aaron Wamack if he'd be interested in a podcast, and he thankfully said yes. We discussed a ton of stuff but here a few highlights: Christian adult contemporary music, elementary school music class, breaking into secular music, jamming The Chariot with dad, his first band Forget About Stars, the Georgia move, the formation and influences of Me And Him Call It Us, Google + was important for one thing, going on a four-month tour, the Final Expression crossover, the Wax Vessel revival, the making of the 'Epilogue' booklet, ironically annoyed with "Innocent Bystander...", Aaron plugs Zegema Beach Records, Harken The Hands Askew history and...future?, joining/recording/touring with O'Brother, Manchester Orchestra connections, love for Blake, etc. Bands played in this podcast: The 1975, Black Matter Device, Brutus, Lower Automation, Mico, Nada Surf, Svalbard, and Thank You Driver. Listen to podcast #102 which is available to stream and/or download for free via this link.
