Pile: Your Favorite Band's Favorite Band (feat Latter)

This week, we're joined by Meredith Haines from the Chicago noise-rock duo Latter for a new episode of "Make Me a Fan." Meredith explains why the experimental post-hardcore band Pile is "your favorite band's favorite band" and how their music completely reshaped her approach to songwriting. Can she convert our host into a true believer?

Topics Discussed:

• How Pile's unconventional music inspired a generation of DIY artists.
• A deep dive into five essential Pile tracks, including "Baby Boy" from their breakthrough album Dripping and "Fingers" from A Hairshirt of Purpose.
• Meredith's journey from listening to "Hot Topic emo" to embracing experimental and noise rock.
• The host's first-time reaction to Pile's theatrical lyrics and "relentless wave of riffs."
• An unexpected debate on the lyrical genius (or lack thereof) of My Chemical Romance.
• News and updates on Meredith's band Latter and their upcoming music and tours.
