All the Wine: Farewell Currents, Empire Builder, and Songs for Letting Go

This week I finally got to sit down with the whole lineup of All the Wine—Danny, Mike, and Wes. Their debut LP Farewell Currents came out last July, and it’s been living rent-free in my top albums list ever since.We talk about how they made it work with one member living four hours away, the story behind Empire Builder (one of my favorite songs, period), and the inspiration for 97 Astro. We get into album art, growing up in the suburbs, and why they’ll always sneak a cover or two into a setlist. And if you’re a drummer—or just someone who likes to hone in on a single part—you’re going to want to hear the story behind Concave.Songs in this episode: 97 Astro, Empire Builder, and Concave—all from Farewell Currents.Stick around for the Final Spin where they drop some great below-the-radar artist recommendations—and if you’re in Chicago, go see them live. Trust me on this one.🎧 Listen if you like: The Gaslight Anthem, The Menzingers, The National.Artists Recommended in the Final SpinLobby Boxer → Listen on SpotifyTuff Sudz → Listen on SpotifyMeryl Streak → Listen on SpotifyIntroduction music Blood Sugar Blues by former First Spin guest, Drew White.If you enjoyed this episode, it’d mean a lot if you left a quick review—it's one of the best ways to help new listeners find the show.And if you want to hear more artists worth your time, follow First Spin on social:📱 TikTok📸 InstagramOfficial Spin Podcast Spotify PlaylistOfficial Spin Podcast Apple PlaylistThanks for listening—see you next week.
