<p>There’s being bad at small talk, and then there’s engaging in a conversation that’s “stillborn.” Care to guess which one stymied a friendship for Cut The Kids In Half?

The song and its accompanying music video arrived last week (January 16) to tease the group’s forthcoming debut album, What We […]</p>

In the case of Caleb Hearon, he’s making his way to town to make sure that notion still stands, with a whole lot of fun at the ready. As announced earlier this week, Hearon will be bringing the joy, playful chaos, and whimsy of his hit podcast, So True, to life with a full cross-country tour […]</p>
