Hello again, people of
the internet! It's been a while since my last episode, and it feels
great to be back at it. I hope you are all doing well today, and
thank you for coming back to hang out with me
again!
For those of you who
are new here, welcome to Start The Beat. A podcast documenting the
past, present, and future of the Pittsburgh music scene. I am your
host, Brian Sikes Howe, and today we will be talking with my
friends and musical duo Hemlock For Socrates.
Hemlock for Socrates are Heather Shore and Kegan Heiss. They
make moody synth-rock with guitar, bass, two voices and electronic
percussion. Ranging from playfully sardonic to cryptic and surreal,
their lyrics touch on themes of personal longing, gender
expectations, and social conventions.
