E48 - "Upside Down" by Battery Eyes with Johnny and Andrew In this episode of B-Side Breakdown, Brett Johnson talks with Johnny Laberda from Battery Eyes and Andrew Cahak of Unstable Shapes about “Upside Down,” a collaborative track that stretches beyond both bands’ usual comfort zones. Born from a casual conversation at Minneapolis mainstay Mortimer’s, the song evolved into one of the most anthemic and stylistically distinct moments on Battery Eyes’ upcoming album zero three. The discussion digs into the song’s “Frankenstein” creation process—written separately, then stitched together through trust rather than traditional co-writing—and how shared vocals were designed to blur identity and perspective. Johnny and Andrew unpack the song’s central idea of reframing situations, looking at problems from new angles, and embracing found interpretation over fixed meaning. The episode also highlights the importance of scene-level collaboration, thoughtful studio production, and why “Upside Down” feels just as much about creative process as it does about the lyrics themselves.

E47 - "Through The Shadows" by Dead History with David Jarnstrom In this episode of B-Side Breakdown, Brett Johnson sits down with David Jarnstrom of Minneapolis post-hardcore stalwarts Dead History to talk about “Through the Shadows,” a standout track from the band’s 2025 album Departures. Built around an initial guitar idea from Matt Rezac, the song took a long and winding path to completion—nearly left behind before emerging as one of the record’s most spacious, groove-driven moments. David walks through the tension between restraint and power in the song’s arrangement, the intentional use of space and feel, and why it occupies such a unique place on the album. The conversation also touches on the song’s impressionistic lyrics, personal interpretations shaped by life in post-George Floyd Minneapolis, and the sense of endurance and rebuilding that runs quietly beneath the surface. With Departures likely marking a closing chapter for Dead History, this episode reflects on creative maturity, community, and seeing something through—even when it’s hard.

E44 - "Feedback City" by and with Too Late, But Still Brett Johnson sits down with Minneapolis post-hardcore outfit Too Late, But Still to talk about “Feedback City” — a swirling, slow-burn track from their emotionally layered debut LP, Night Songs. Born from a rehearsal room riff that nearly vanished into noise, the song emerged through collective trust and sonic experimentation. With echo-laced leads, a vocal performance that escalates from restraint to rawness, and a chorus that hits like a wall of feeling, “Feedback City” captures the spirit of a band willing to follow the moment wherever it leads. The band reflects on writing without ego, trusting live takes over perfection, and finding magic in the unresolved.
