Stereo Embers The Podcast 0148: Satin Nickel

“Sheltering In Place Is The New Camping” Well, sort of. Experts say that if you want to test a romantic relationship, go camping. If you come back from your adventure still speaking, you’ve got a good thing going. If not? Well, camping together saved you a lot of time. In the COVID-19 age, it seems that sheltering in place works in the same way camping does, in that it can really test relationships and make you understand if you’re made of steel or the exact opposite. For the members of Satin Nickel, being a quaran-team has proven to be of the steel persuasion. The sheltering in place mandate only made this New York band even tighter and in this conversation they talk to Alex about staying creative, staying together and staying sane. They also chat about the challenges they face, the bike rides they take and how a group of theatre kids have become one of the most exciting bands around. A thrilling mix of hard rock riffs, lilting vocals and folky smarts, Satin Nickel are an innovative and infectious outfit and their debut album Shadow of Doubt is a riveting listen.
