The first episode of the Pass The Mic Podcast is here! And I couldn’t have asked for a better way to kick off the podcast, than catching up with Miri Devora and Mattie Glass of Queen of Jeans.
The Philadelphia band just released their sophomore album, If you’re not afraid, I’m not afraid on Topshelf Records, and the album has quickly become one of my favorites of 2019. When they formed, Queen of Jeans was the first project where Miri was the bandleader and principal songwriter, and on If you’re not afraid, I’m not afraid, her stark lyrics and soft voice combine to create powerful moments of catharsis and personal growth.
I caught up with Miri and Mattie to talk about about how they formed Queen of Jeans (and forged the band’s name from a sexist, but iconic Philly landmark), recording with producer Will Yip, and creating explosive moments — both literal and musical — on their latest album.
