Fuegostine's Music Club
Fuegostine’s Music Club is a music discovery podcast built around honest conversations with artists about the moments that shaped them. Host Matt Firestine (Fuegostine) sits down with emerging and established musicians to talk about creativity, failure, mental health, and the winding road behind the songs we love. More than interviews, these are stories about finding your voice, staying true to it, and the music that connects us along the way.
Welcome to the Club.
Featuring guests from indie, folk, country, alt, and beyond.
New episodes weekly.

Hotel Fiction on Staring at the Sun Deluxe, Indie Pop Growth & AI’s Impact on Music
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Athens, Georgia indie pop band Hotel Fiction stop by to discuss the deluxe edition of Staring at the Sun, the evolution from Soft Focus to now, and what it means to grow up through music.
We talk about writing songs that won’t leave the vault, revisiting old versions of yourself through records, seasonal depression and songwriting, and how AI is reshaping the music industry. The band also shares their thoughts on social media promotion, live performance authenticity, and why humanity in art still matters.
Plus:
• The meaning behind “Emily”
• Their favorite songs from their catalog
• Albums they’d teach in a music class
• New album plans for Summer 2026
• Upcoming tour announcement
If you enjoy thoughtful music conversations, indie pop storytelling, and behind-the-scenes creative process discussions — this episode is for you.
