Meg Myers on Getting Sober, Writing Her Most ‘Honest’ Album Yet
Coming off tour in late 2018, Meg Myers was depressed and disillusioned, feeling like she’d traded too much of herself in exchange for her two exhilarating LPs, 2015’s Sorry and 2018’s Take Me To The Disco. “I didn’t make a lot of my own choices,” the alt-rock songwriter tells SPIN. “Unconsciously, I allowed myself to be manipulated a lot. I was in a really dark place for a long time.” Bad habits didn’t help. Myers was drinking and smoking too often; she’d even gotten hooked on chewing tobacco during a visit to see family in her native Tennessee. (She finally stopped after six months spent packing her lip like a baseball player. “It was so disgusting,” she says.)

SEPULTURA’s ANDREAS KISSER Says Coronavirus Crisis Is ‘A Time Of Opportunity’
SEPULTURA guitarist Andreas Kisser has told the “213Rock” podcast that the coronavirus pandemic has provided us with an opportunity to reflect on things and to reconsider what we do, how we do it and why we do it. “I think it has two points of this — one really bad and one really good,” he said (hear audio below). “It is a time of opportunity; that’s for sure. You see a lot of new concepts of what the world is and what the nature is. In the first months, or the first days of the pandemic, you [saw] nature responding — a lot of animals appearing in the cities, because they were empty and stuff. And the air was much better here in São Paulo, Brazil.” He continued: “So it is a time of opportunity to rethink why we are running so much. What’...
