Back in the fall, Brooklyn Buzz interviewed Brooklyn-based singer and songwriter Sarah Michelle Lee, who recently launched her solo project. Sarah shares her inspirations, the journey behind her music and music videos, and the influence that NYC’s vibrant music scene has had on her. With a focus on love and vulnerability, her songs evoke a unique, cozy atmosphere perfect for those reflective moments. As Sarah teases upcoming projects and releases, she gives us a glimpse into the exciting future ahead for both her solo work and her band monarch.'s next steps.

Brooklyn Buzz interviewed Ann Courtney, the frontwoman of Mother Feather, to celebrate the release of their newest album, “KICK3R.” Mother Feather is a high-energy rock band that effortlessly blends glam and punk with a vibrant, theatrical flare. This interview was originally recorded and streamed on WPIR in November -- the link to that audio can be found below this paragraph if you want to hear how much we laughed and enjoyed ourselves throughout. Ann had such a fantastic and friendly energy as we discussed the personal meanings behind their new songs, what it has been like performing live in a post-Covid world, and how to be your most authentic self while celebrating the people in your life.

002: DEBBY FRIDAY


I play DEBBY FRIDAY on the aux when I want to induct someone into a cult--the cult of FRIDAY. No matter the track, whether it's her early computerized BITCHPUNK days or her melodic hazey singles, I always get the same reaction from those who earwitness. Who is this?? they ask me, opening Shazam. The new single “Let u in” is something different from what I know of DEBBY FRIDAY.

Last week we interviewed Lowertown, a sizzling, independent New York indie band—in anticipation of their new EP Skin Of My Teeth, dropping October 27th. In conversation with Olivia Osby and Avsha Weinberg, we discussed their upcoming European tour, the nature of live performance, social identity in both the physical and digital world, living in New York, and musical influences. As the band prepares to travel overseas, they open up about the new confidence they’ve found as musicians.
