We're back with another volume, and this one's flying high. In Vol. 173, we catch up with Red Cardinal, one of the East Coast's freshest rock bands, and trust us, you're gonna want to hear this.
Led by Corey Jellison, Red Cardinal has been making serious waves since forming in 2023. Their debut album, Find Yourself, just dropped on May 16, and it's packed with everything we love—emotional grit, big riffs, and lyrics that hit you right in the feels.
Recorded at Graywin Studios with Derek Hilchie and mastered by John Flanagan, Find Yourself is more than just a debut—it's a calling card. Tracks like "The Moth" and "Stranger Days" dive deep into personal growth, mental health, and the wild ride of finding your place in the world.
In this episode, the band opens up about how they came together, what fuels their sound, and why live shows are everything. We talk about the grind, the good vibes, and the real power of community in music. Plus, they spill some details about their upcoming set at Area 506, where they’ll be sharing the stage with none other than Alexisonfire.
So pour yourself a drink, throw on your headphones, and settle in. This one’s for the vinyl heads, the local showgoers, and anyone chasing that next sonic connection.
Find Yourself is out now—stream it, spin it, or snag a physical copy. And don’t sleep on Vol.173. Red Cardinal is taking flight, and we’re here for it! Watch it below or wherever you get your podcasts!
