Season 2 continues with a sun-soaked, surf-fuelled episode of The Encore Club Podcast as Will sits down with Matt and Cameron from Your Favorite Color, the California alt-rock band fusing nostalgic 80s dream pop with modern indie energy. From writing sessions by the ocean to late-night creative chaos, the guys open up about friendship, growth, and how they’ve learned to keep their passion for music separate from the pressure of numbers and streams.
In this episode, Matt and Cameron share the story behind Your Favorite Color’s beginnings — from surf breaks on the California coast to crafting their distinct sound that’s now capturing fans around the world. They talk creative rituals, keeping grounded while touring, and why songwriting always starts with feeling before lyrics. There’s also plenty of fun along the way, from gaming addictions and poker nights to why their dream rider would absolutely include yellow Skittles.
And of course, it wouldn’t be The Encore Club without the signature Dream Concert — and this one’s huge. The lads build an unforgettable lineup featuring Nick Drake, The Cure, and Oasis, with special appearances from Josh Homme and even John Lennon. Expect chaos, great music talk, and plenty of laughs as Your Favorite Color prove exactly why they’re one of the most exciting indie bands on the rise.
If you love creative deep dives, behind-the-scenes stories, and a bit of beautiful madness, this is the episode for you.
