Mt. Joy

Our guests today are beloved indie-rock five-piece Mt. Joy. Originally from Philadelphia, the band has seen a huge rise over the past few years off the back of their 2022 record Orange Blood—selling out venues like Madison Square Garden and Red Rocks, touring with The Lumineers, and collaborating with artists like Maren Morris. Now, they return with Hope We Have Fun, their fourth studio album and a vibrant, emotionally charged collection that captures the raw, live energy that’s become a hallmark of their sound. In today’s episode, we speak with frontman Matt Quinn about the creative journey behind the new record and how the pressure of success can push the band toward growth. We chat about their collaborative songwriting process, the story behind their track with Gigi Perez, and what’s ahead as they prepare to bring Hope We Have Fun on tour—including whether an Australian run might finally be on the horizon.Mt.
