Episode 355: A Swede, a Libertine and Me feat. Shane Parsons and Simon Ridley from DZ Deathrays

Our good mates Simon and Shane from DZ Deathrays are back on the pod ahead of their announcement of the Black Rat 10 Year Anniversary Tour! We talk a bunch about music, including the early days and evolution of DZ Deathrays, the pros and cons of pop songwriting, demoing shit to death, why they love touring Canada, the evil side to writing music, how to keep engaged with your own band, and then sound vs. meaning of lyrics.
