The Basements Were Stars is a podcast that explores music and the musicians behind the artform. With a focus on indie rock, classic rock, jazz, electronica &amp; beyond, episodes will feature album discussions, behind-the-scenes stories, and in-depth interviews with musicians/artists who shape the sound and grace the stages. Whether you're a musician, vinyl collector or just love discovering new artists, this show is your access to the music that moves us all. The title, The Basements Were Stars is a play on Sunny Day Real Estate's (one of my all time favorite bands) song, The Blankets Were Stairs
