Where can fans listen to your music online?*

https://danawhy.bandcamp.com or any streaming service!

What three albums are most inspiring to your band?*

The Meadowlands by the Wrens, Shaking the Habitual by The Knife, and Yeezus by Kanye West (He is a garbage human now but this record very much informs my sound. I wholly disavow him as a person.)

What was the first song that you wrote together?*

I probably wrote my first song back in like 2008 on a friend's borrowed MacBook Pro. I was making a lot of shoegaze at the time when it wasn't particularly "hot" because I was scared of singing. "Blankets" is the oldest I have record of. I had no idea what I was doing so it sounds comically bad, but I can hear the like primordial versions of techniques I'm still using & developing today.

Can you explain the meaning behind one of the songs on your latest album?*

Stopping Would Be Suicide is about continuing to pursue your dreams and your art no matter how useless it sometimes feels in the face of today's endless existential anxiety. The world still needs love and it still needs beauty, and it's our job to put it there.

What is your favorite thing about Asbury Park?*

The beach once everyone leaves

What is your favorite MOGO Taco?*

I'm a huuuuge chicken sandwich guy, so the buffalo KFC sandwich is my move.

Meet The Music: Foes of Fern

Q. What three albums are most inspiring to your band?

A: The Beatles "Abbey Road", Jimi Hendrix "Are You Experienced" The Strokes "Is This It"

Q. What was the first song that you wrote together?

A: So the first song that this version of the Foes of Fern all collectively worked on is The first single off our second album called "Time Management"

Q. Can you explain the meaning behind one of the songs on your latest album?

A: Our newest single "Mi Amor" was released a couple weeks ago. It was our first attempt at writing a song in Spanish and it was way harder than I thought it would be. Mainly because I can't speak Spanish very well. BUT that song was me trying to write a Telanovela, like one of those Spanish soap operas that are super dramatic. So there's this like love triangle and the main characters lover has left him for a super rich doctor that like turns out to be my twin brother or something like that. It's pretty much a shoutout to my elder Cuban family that all loves watching those tv shows and it sounds NOTHING like ska music.

Q. What is your favorite thing about Asbury Park?

A: Getting to play music with a ton of my favorite people and also enjoying the beach, good weather and all there is to do in Asbury in the summer. Sometimes I feel like our house on bangs ave is just one big playground.

Q. What is your favorite MOGO taco?

A: Beef taco with kimchi rice!! My normal order is two of those and then I'll get a third random one to spice things up

It hasn't officially been announced to the world, but you heard it here first! My next album will be called 'A Heart So Tender' and will hopefully be dropping by next Spring.

California's landscape and topography continuously inspires me. At the time, I was also about to go to Nashville for the first time and was in a serious country music phase, which is what this song emerged out of.

Meet The Music: Polaroid Fade

Meet The Music: Polaroid Fade

Polaroid Fade emerged from South Jersey’s vibrant music scene just over a year ago, though their roots run deeper. Fronted by vocalist and songwriter Nicoletta, the band blends old-school new wave with modern alt-rock, marked by her emotive vocals and lyrical flair. Guitarist Tyler brings layered melodies, while Jeremy (bass) and Jack (drums) add post-punk groove. Praised by producer Steve Feinberg as “a fresh take on the old wave of new wave,” their sound evokes the neon-lit energy of ‘80s Glasgow. Since their 2022 debut single “Any Other Way,” they’ve gained traction with follow-ups like “Bliss,” “Worry About Me Later,” and “Fisher Gardens.” Their first full-length album *Chaos Into Poetry* drops 11/22 via Shore Points Records, with an East Coast tour to follow in late 2024 into 2025.

Meet The Music: Teen Idle

Meet The Music: Teen Idle
Teen Idle is the musical moniker of Asbury Park-based singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist & producer Sara Abdelbarry. The project was started in Sara’s last year of college, when she challenged herself to write a song every day for a week and post it to Bandcamp. All of her music tends to unfold like the plot of an A24 movie, with a focus on lyricism and storytelling.

Q. What three albums are most inspiring to your band?

1. Mannequin Pussy - I Got Heaven 2. Wolf Alice - My Love Is Cool 3. St. Vincent - Actor

Q. Can you explain the meaning behind one of the songs on your latest album?

”Dance Inc.” is my satire song. If you listen to the lyrics you’ll be able to feel my frustration with the corporate world and comparisons of HR people to bloodsuckers. It was written at a time when I was particularly frustrated with job hunting and feeling a little hopeless about it. If you’re an HR person I don’t hate you, but I wish you would answer emails.

Q. What is your favorite thing about Asbury Park?

The ebb and flow of it. I think it’s really neat to watch a beach town transform from the winter to the summer. It makes me appreciate the four seasons of the year in a way I wouldn’t if I lived in Florida or somewhere eternally warm. I also love the fact that you never know what you’re going to witness on any given day when walking around Asbury. That aspect reminds me of Brooklyn or NYC a little bit.

Q. What is your favorite MOGO taco?

Unfortunately I’ve been cursed with being gluten-free BUT I really love the beef bowl.
