In this episode, Lesley, Dave, and Angie break down the wild ride from teasing setlist snippets to the Alphabet (Wasted Summer’s) studio and live evolution.

They share Wilbur's behind-the-scenes details about the "Alphabet" confusion—why it was called that, how much of it was intentional, and what it reveals about the band’s playful personality all pointing to more surprises ahead, and the clever branding behind the "Second to One" EP.

You’ll also get insights into the European tour announcements, the upcoming vinyl re-release and as usual, speculation from The Pebble Brain Trust on what else might be coming later this year for Lovejoy and Lovenjoyers alike.

Perfect Blue's music video is is full of 90's psychedlic nostalgia and the Gen X Pebble Brain Trust is here for it!

Lovejoy has refreshed their online look with a new monochromatic and spooky vibe - surely this means the EP and new merch have got to be on the way soon too, right??

Wilbur hosted his second YouTube stream of 2026 and was so kind as to tell us what the meanings of the 4 new songs are before they are even released! If only he told us when we will get to finally hear them!

Angie, Dave, and Lesley also share and express gratitude for a kind listener's message about how much they enjoy the pod.

Lesley, Angie, and Dave reflect on their first year of the Lovejoy Nation Podcast. While the first few episodes were full of anxiety about getting it just right and trying to sound professional, the Pebble Brain Trust certainly found their way through times of intense speculation only to be rewarded with Lovejoy's debut full-length album, music videos, and a North American tour. 2025 will go down as the year of One Simple Trick followed by One Simple Tour and of course the humble beginning of the "official" Lovejoy Podcast ;-)

The boys of Lovejoy have provided the pod with a brand new intro and the Pebble Brain Trust is absolutely chuffed!

One Simple Tour is now over and Angie and Lesley share stories from the gigs they attended since the last recording, in Washington DC, Philadelphia, & New York City. From meet & greets to exchanging goodies with fans on the queue, there's just nothing else like a Lovejoy show experience.

Spotify has posted everyone's Wrapped data and Lovejoy shared a special announcement and thank you video for top listeners!
