Today I catch up with Maggie Denning, the frontwoman of one of Brooklyn's most abrasive indie punk bands Tetchy. Maggie joins me to discuss the wild, out-of-body nature of Tetchy shows, the complicated cross-generational relationships between mothers and daughters, queer desire, and dismantling what it means to be the "right kind of woman."

✨ MORE ABOUT TETCHY ✨

Tetchy is a punk rock band from Brooklyn, New York fronted by Maggie Denning along with bassist Kaitlin Pelkey, guitarist Jesse French, and drummer Ransom McCafferty. At the heart of the band is the personification of the messy, complex dichotomies of life: quiet and loud, tranquil and high-strung, liberation and subjugation. Their latest single "Mommy" is out now on all streaming platforms.

Today I am joined by queer singer-songwriter Grand Pax to talk about her synth-filled bedroom pop EP Crush. We discuss how she wrote the EP to preserve the intensity of short-term feelings and the inability to express them, and how post-breakup clarity informed the direction of how it sounded.
