Singles, EPs, albums - how do you know what to release, and when? In this episode, Hana and Mishkin break down the case for each format using the only framework that matters: TLC. They cover why a single can get you pigeonholed before you've shown anyone the full picture, when an EP is worth the extra studio time, and why albums are still the most satisfying thing you can make even if they take three years and cost a small fortune. Plus: demo love, the mixed jury, and why staggering your mixing costs might save your sanity.

Have you ever played a gig to just the bar staff and sound engineer? 
Or found yourself alone carrying an amp through the streets at 2am? 
Have you ever had to busk for your next meal? Or do you find yourself awake at night, questioning your life choices? 
Have you ever asked yourself... why the fuck am I a musician? 
Don’t worry, you’re not alone, and this is the podcast for you. 
Brand new podcast from Hana Piranha and Mishkin Fitzgerald talking about the ugly truth of sustaining a music career.
