Episode 186: Ruby Bones

Episode 186 marks the first in-person interview in over a year on Look At My Records! That’s right, Chris Fox of New Jersey’s Ruby Bones stopped by Tom’s apartment for a stimulating conversation over some adult beverages and Chris got to physically LOOK AT TOM’S RECORDS. Ruby Bones released their excellent second full-length, Laser Tooth Tiger, back in April on Mint 400 Records, and the two chatted about this slick and solid indie rock record. Their conversation also touched on a variety of topics, including Bruce Springsteen’s butt, the band’s change in sonic direction since their debut, Fox’s experiences coming of age as a young songwriter in the great state of New Jersey, and more. Plus, Fox picked some great records from Tom’s collection, including choice cuts from Nanami Ozone, Wilco, and Ought. You can follow along with his picks via the official playlist for Episode 186! You can purchase Laser Tooth Tiger on limited edition compact disc via Bandcamp. The album is also available on all streaming platforms. Keep up with the band by liking them on Facebook and following them on Instagram.
