Hello and welcome back to At Least There's Fest. Joining the show today is Nic Maroulis of Hit Like a Girl. The band has stayed busy over the last decade, releasing four full-length records and playing as many shows as possible.

We talk about what it's like to tour so much, the why behind touring for Nic, recording and putting out music, and the fact that you could build two full soft ball team rosters out of people that have at one time been in this band.

We also talk Nic's non-profit No More Dysphoria, Nic and team do great work there. For more information on this work, please check out the link below. You can catch Hit Like A Girl on tour almost of the time and at Fest 24.

Joining the show today we have Jordan Hill from Hell Beach returning to the those and he brought along his good friend Devon Kay of Devon Kay and the Solutions as well as Direct Hit!

Jordan and Devon both fill us on what they have been up to with their projects as well as giving us some hints of what may lay ahead (new music!). We also discuss the ups and downs of touring and how you find the rights bands with which to hit the road.

To that end, Devon and Jordan will be touring together starting this weekend at Stoop Fest in Lansing, MI as both of their bands travel to Pouzza Fest. You can find their full schedule of stops on their socials, and both bands put on a terrific live show.

If you cannot make to any of those shows, I do have some good news: Hell Beach is playing Fest 24!

Greetings and welcome back to another episode of At Least There's Fest! This is an exciting time of year because we are able to confirm who is playing Fest 24 and really zero in on bringing you the goods.

Joining the show today is the entire lineup from Dear Cincinnati. The Tallahassee band has been around for just one short year, but they have crammed A TON into that time.

We discuss their busy year of recording multiple EPs, touring, writing new music constantly and even working on their first full-length record. We talk about the idea of a concept record and the pure joy that comes from hitting the road with your friends and doing what you love.
