Wallows, plus Harvey Danger’s Sean Nelson

Record Store Day 2025 is April 12th. For the most up-to-date news about all things RSD, including The List, visit RecordStoreDay.com)

In the last installment of our month-long Record Store Day 2025 preview series, we meet the members of L.A. band, Wallows (Dylan Minnette, Braeden Lemasters, and Cole Preston) in anticipation of their RSD First Release, the MORE EP (Atlantic Records). The trio share their backstory, how they came to work with producer John Congleton, and duet with Clairo.

And 25 years after the band Harvey Danger released their sophomore LP, King James Version, Barsuk Records is releasing a deluxe two-album gatefold reissue as an RSD First Release, with new liner notes by singer and lyricist Sean Nelson, who joins us to unpack the emotional baggage behind the making of the album, and why their previous album's biggest hit ("Flagpole Sitta") became something of a mixed blessing.

But first, Paul takes a moment to pay his respects to two of his musical heroes who left us this past week; bassist Dave Allen (Gang Of Four, Shriekback), and celebrated drummer Clem Burke (Blondie, Eurythmics, and more.)

The Record Store Day Podcast is a weekly music chat show written, produced, engineered and hosted by Paul Myers, who also composed the theme music and selected interstitial music. 

Executive Producers (for Record Store Day) Michael Kurtz and Carrie Colliton.
