Episode 21: Sam Barbera and Steph Barker of L.A. Exes

Core Integrity Podcasts with Cat Woods

Sam Barbera and Steph Barker form half of the four-piece L.A. Exes. Their debut album "Get Some" came out on August 20th 2021 and it is gorgeous, catchy, surfy and melancholic all at once. Recalling The Shangri-Las, The Ronettes, The Beach Boys with a splash of The Slits, it's a whole lot of fun. We talk about gender and sexuality, music, Los Angeles, and their cover of The Cranberries' "Linger". Theme music is by Mr Smith "Big Sky Spy". Photo of the band by Molly Adams.
