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!

Female-Fronted Friday: Lilakk
When: 2018
Where: Savannah, GA
Genre: Alt-rock/grunge
FFO: Alice in Chains, Hole, Pixies
Lilakk is a band raised on early 90’s music, and their sound reflects that, an eclectic blend of old-school alternative rock, grunge, and shades of punk.
The project actually started with the vocalists, Calli and Kirk, as an acoustic duo. They then grew into a four-piece in 2018, but have since been through some changes and, as stated by Kirk, “growing pains.” Their current lineup consists of Calli (vox/bass), Kirk (vox/guitar), and Zach (drums). Lead vocal responsibilities are shared by Calli and Kirk.
Lilakk recently released the single “RobberMan.” They have a show on June 20th at The Wormhole in Savannah. Be sure to check out their socials to see what the band is up to!
“RobberMan”
“Basement”
“Rain”
“Prep Rally”
