E180 A Conversation with Cullen Moore and Paolo Vergara of Sleep Theory
This week, we're scratching The Itch to get inked up! Or at least talk with a guy who just did. Cullen Moore and Paolo Vergara of Sleep Theory join us to discuss the insane and accelerated ride that has been their 2023, starting with a debut single in January that got half a million TikTok views and leading to September's release of their first EP, Paper Hearts. Along the way we'll talk about their love for Linkin Park, the double edged sword of internet virality, and how the best opportunities aren't always planned. PLUS, the tables get turned, and The Itch is forced to prove that we indeed do our homework.
If you like what you hear, you can hear more of us every Sunday night broadcasting rock to the masses from 6-9pm CST on KCLC-FM. If you're not in the St. Louis area, you can stream the show from 891thewood.com, TuneIn, Radio.net, and OnlineRadioBox!
And if you have the itch to hear brand new rock tracks every Friday, follow our New Rock Roundup playlist!
