The Mostly Music Podcast, Ep. 5: Little Evil 101

Hey, y’all! The latest episode of my podcast is available now! It features the Iowa-based hard rock band Little Evil, who I wrote about a little while back in a Female-Fronted Friday post.

This interview was so much fun! We chatted about their history as a band, their influences, each member’s start in music, the story behind a couple of their songs, and much more. There’s even a (brief) nod to the Backstreet Boys by their guitarist, Bryer 😂

Check it out, and if you haven’t already subscribed, please do so! I have a lot on the horizon for this channel!
