The Noise Pop Podcast
The Noise Pop Podcast is a monthly series showcasing new music discoveries and a diverse slate of guest artists from the independent music scene and beyond. Produced by Noise Pop, San Francisco’s go-to indie music, arts and film festival for over 25 years and hosted by music journalist Adrian Spinelli (Paste Magazine, SF Chronicle, etc..), we deliver engaging episodes that are always rooted in the music that we love and that we know you will too. Past guests have included: Khruangbin, Thao Nguyen, Quantic, Wye Oak, Helado Negro, Speedy Ortiz, Rexx Life Raj, Shigeto, Låpsley, Thievery Corporation and more.

The Noise Pop crew came back from SXSW with a few battle scars and some stories to tell. In this episode we play several new tracks from artists that delivered standout performances in Austin and Dawson and Jaime share some of their experiences. We also discuss the nature of hyped bands at the festival and debate the merits of James Blake. At the end we play an interview from one of our favorite local bands Melted Toys, conducted by our friend Robert Khoury from the music blog See The Leaves
