Wednesdays can be so mundane, so why not spice them up with commentary and humor from your favorite indie darlings? In this exclusive podcast from rock band Wax Romantics, the four wax boys discuss all things ranging from music, movies, TV, art, and philosophy with the subtle yet pointed comedic undertones that you've come to expect from this musical tetrad. Each episode features discussions around the current happenings of the band and its members, reviews of albums and deep dives into artists, and uninformed commentary on world events. You'll want to make every Wednesday a Waxy Wednesday!
Waxy Wednesdays with Wax Romantics // Episode 12 // The Julian and Collin Home Improvement Show
In this episode, Julian and Collin kick it solo (Keaton was celebrating his birthday with his family (Happy Birthday, Keaton!) and Cam was finally learning how to use a toaster). So, Julian and Collin (abbreviated J.C. - same as Jesus Christ) talk about what they know best - home improvement. They also have a very brief political conversation and then finally get into music chat, discussing recently released albums and concerts they've been to recently.

Albums We Don't Like (w/ Robert Johnson)
Waxy Wednesdays with Wax Romantics // Episode 11 // Albums We Don't Like (w/ Robert Johnson)
In this episode, the four wax boys are joined by musician, photographer, and great friend Robert Johnson. The wax boys have known Robert for a long time - in fact, Julian is in a band with him. Their band is called Foreign Words and their debut 2020 album, 'Wasting Time,' is absolutely incredible. Robert is also the official Wax Romantics photographer and you can check out some of his amazing work on Instagram under the handle @slyfoxxphoto. In this episode, they talk about Robert's photography, the process of recording 'Wasting Time,' and review albums; but the theme for this week's album review is to try to give fair and favorable reviews of albums that they hate. This includes albums by Tool, A Perfect Circle, Kanye West, and Ed Sheeran.
This episode was recorded on Tuesday, April 12 and released on Wednesday, April 20.
