Artist Interviews Billy Joel Jr. Interview
This week, Features contributor Matty G speaks with Ari and Nate of Chicago-based indie rock group Billy Joel Jr. They discuss their first EP, Rubberhose, the diversity of their band and therefore sound, and of course, their love of the Beatles.
"I like the question of diversity, right? Having a diverse sound; we also have diverse members from different parts of the world and the country that kind of come together in Chicago, almost like an analogy for the larger melting pot of Chicago." - Nate of Billy Joel Jr.
Produced by DJ Ninja.

Hannah Enstrom was a regular contributor for her hometown’s local paper reviewing kids’ products when she was 9 and that is pretty much the extent of her professional writing career thus far.
Her celebrity encounters are all the worst people you can possibly think of, and she often cries in work meetings with her supervisor (who is very nice about it). She is also the co-producer of the bimonthly wacky variety show Movie Club at Bric-a-Brac Records.
