Friends, as summer beams down on you from above, beat the heat – get something cool. Something refreshing. Get Episode 44 of Issue Oriented (the podcast).

David Moore (ex-Chamberlain/Split Lip) stops by to talk about his new release My Lover, My Stranger, his approach toward song writing, post-emo and much more. He is joined by fellow Chamberlain alum Adam Rubenstein, who also accompanies Moore on two songs played live in the Issue Oriented studio. It’s a stirring performance to say the least, and we’re proud to have it. (You can see a video of one of the songs here.)

Then Justin Brannan (Most Precious Blood, Howard Stern, Bear Stearns) dishes on New York City, options paralysis, comfort zones, folk music, stock brokering, and a million other things. An energetic exchange with host Ronen Kauffman, to say the least. AND THERE’S ALSO THIS AWESOME EXCLUSIVE: Hear the world premiere of new music from Most Precious Blood’s upcoming full length, Do Not Resuscitate, due later this year.

PLUS! The debut of a new segment – Influence Oriented, with correspondent Zack Shapiro. This installment features New Jersey’s Let Me Run.

Tune in and get your awesome on. It’s Issue Oriented episode 44.
