“I think music is poetry. When somebody listens to one of our songs what we hope that they feel is a number of emotions. We like to take the listener on a journey. … Overall, it’s pretty optimistic and happy, [but] we’ll always try and incorporate dark twists.” Watch our full interview with Capital Cities.

On Oct. 25 indie electro-rock collective Two Door Cinema Club were the featured guests at 98.7-FM’s Penthouse, an exclusive concert series hosted by Los Angeles-based radio station KYSR-FM at the historic Hollywood Tower in Hollywood, Calif. Before an intimate crowd, Two Door Cinema Club performed a set featuring tracks from their sophomore album, Beacon, including “Next Year” and “Sleep Alone.” Prior to the performance, Two Door Cinema Club’s Kevin Baird and Sam Halliday participated in an exclusive interview with GRAMMY.com and discussed recording Beacon, common themes in their music and touring, among other topics. “I think lyrically there’s a lot of talk of distance and longing,” said Halliday. “When we were writing and recording the record, and from being on tour for the last three years, it’s hard to settle down [in] places [and] keep relationships going strongly. … It’s the longing for the routine of keeping those relationships.”

It’s perhaps appropriate that the East Coast-bred Grace Potter & The Nocturnals derived the latter part of their name from their late-night practice sessions as a band. Fronted by the Vermont-born namesake and frontwoman, Grace Potter, the collective is in the midst of playing dates on the Brothers of the Sun tour with Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw. The group self-released two albums, 2004’s Original Soul and 2005’s Nothing But The Water, before catching the interest of Hollywood Records. Subsequently, they released 2007’s This Is Somewhere and 2010’s Grace Potter & The Nocturnals, which peaked at No. 19 on the Billboard 200 on the strength of songs such as “Paris (Ooh La La)” and “Medicine.” In 2011 Potter earned her first GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Duo/Group Performance for “You And Tequila“ with Chesney.

“I don’t think anybody can tell you anything,” said the Avett Brothers’ upright bassist Scott Crawford. “Just like your parents trying to tell you something, it’s makes you want to do the opposite. You gotta make your own mistakes or have your own successes.” Watch our full interview with the Avett Brothers here.
