Andy speaks to Matt (guitar/vocals), Mike (bass) and Jim (drums) from Dinosaur Pile-Up at 2000 Trees. Topics include favourite songs from the new record, Matt's songwriting process of collecting lyrics, titles and voice memo melodies daily then leaving songs for months or years before returning with fresh perspective, the band's frustration with the streaming-era pressure to release constantly and write everything as a single, early guitar influences including Rage Against the Machine, Weezer and a formative Deftones summer, the rise of heavier music from mid-size venues to arenas, and the fact that Matt is already pent-up with new material after a six-year gap caused by Covid and personal health issues.
