Yawn has created a new thing. Yes, it's common to say this about a band you love or are inspired by, but oftentimes, there is little truth to the statement. However, Yawn have made something unlike anything else in music. I have to admit that I didn't know what to ask the guys even though I wrote a number of questions down because I just wanted to hang out with these curious strangers.

And hang out, we did. I'm also not going to say anything else about the band at this moment, so you'll have to listen for yourself. If anything, the music that bookends the show today should say enough. You will be transported by it or confused, and either way you'll know quickly if you want to know more about this band of gentlemen.

This is my open ended conversation with the purveyors of Heavy Jazz from the 6th floor. This is Yawn, on the Rockstar Superhero Podcast.
