College Level | Class Act Shit Show (E50)
I sat down with Alex Smith and Taylor Howard of Boise-based College Level a few days after the debut of their full-length, Class Act Shit Show.
I focus on one artist. It could be one song or a body of work. An album or greatest hits. The point of these shows is do dig deep into what makes the music work so well, be it melody, style, lyrics, emotion or other contributing factors.
