Hear our exclusive interview with the exciting new pop-rock supergroup Megasound, our August Artist of the Month. The Bad Bats Hats/Party Nails collab is a bit of teenage nostalgia mixed with the pure joy of music -- sonically and visually inspired by Josie and the Pussycats, a now 25-year-old cult classic that predicted the age of influencer social media culture. Also, hear new music from Brotherkenzie, Obi Original, and more.
