Fire and Water Records: U2

Happy St. Patrick's Day, dear listeners! Fire and Water Records is proud to spend the day discussing the history and discography of Ireland's chief export: the rock 'n roll band U2. Join Ryan Daly and superfan Omar Uddin as they chronicle the band's atypically ambitious start in Dublin to falling in love with the myth of America from a tour bus, back across the ocean to the industrial cobblestone streets of Eastern Europe, only to return and conquer pop-rock and the world in the 21st century, all whilst crafting some of the most sonically charged, nakedly earnest, and aggressively catchy rock songs in music history. Also, Ryan reveals too much of his wasted teenage years, and it's totally cringe.
