This week, I’m joined by Art Alexakis — singer, songwriter, and guitarist for Everclear — to take a deep dive into the stories behind the band’s biggest hits, fan favorites, and overlooked gems.

We talk about everything from the 30th anniversary of their debut album World of Noise (recorded for just $400!) to the leap to a major label with Sparkle & Fade, the massive success of So Much For The Afterglow, and the double album Songs From an American Movie. 

Along the way, Art shares his love for artists like Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen, and details their Live At The Whiskey A Go Go release. This episode is a front-row seat to the stories, struggles, and songs that made Everclear a defining voice in alternative rock.
