For this edition of the (Instant) Classics series, MAGNET’s Hobart Rowland teamed up with How Did I Get Here? podcast host Johnny Goudie for a special South by Southwest chat in Austin with Kylie Gaspard and Jo Perillo of fast-rising indie phenoms Cashier. Slinking out of Lafayette, La., three years ago, they’ve already raised plenty of eyebrows with their grunge-inspired take on emo and shoegaze. Now touring behind their debut EP, The Weight, Cashier played no less than 16 shows at last week’s SXSW. They managed to stay upright long enough for this mid-conference chat.

Longtime contributor Hobart Rowland takes a deep dive into the influential albums championed by the magazine, plus brand-new releases from marquee MAGNET artists. Each podcast episode features music from the LP and exclusive in-depth interviews with the artists, producers and other key players. For the latest MAGNET Classics episode, Rowland gets the real story behind 1996’s Mic City Sons, the great last gasp from Elliott Smith’s former band, Heatmiser.
