Episode 10: Greg Baldwin and Kris Hayes from Yours & Mine - Prime Power Pop (and Punk!)

In this episode, we’re joined by Yours & Mine frontman Greg Baldwin and bassist Kris Hayes—two-thirds of the power pop trio who blend '90s alt-rock influences like The Posies and Oasis with punk urgency and melodic finesse. Their new album, The Shadow You Cast, is packed with 12 sharp, hook-laden tracks brimming with both sonic sparkle and lyrical depth. Greg’s Rickenbacker riffs, the taut rhythm section, and emotionally charged songwriting have earned them comparisons to Elvis Costello, early Oasis, and Fountains of Wayne—all filtered through a distinctly modern lens. Greg and Kris open up about the long road to finishing the record, from pandemic delays to cross-state relocations. They take us inside their songwriting process, the art of sequencing, and what it took to stay creatively connected while living apart. Plus, they share what’s next for the band, from new material in the works to upcoming fall shows—including their appearance at International Pop Overthrow. The Shadow You Cast is available on all your favorite digital stores, as well as on CD at indie record stores and via the band's label, KoolKatMusik.com.
