About this episode
Young the Giant discusses their journey and experiences in the music industry with host Scott Lipps.
Young the Giant joins Scott Lipps on SPIN Magazine's Lipps Service for a deep dive into the band's incredible journey—from forming in Irvine, California and playing their earliest shows as The Jakes, to dropping out of Stanford, getting signed as teenagers, and creating some of the defining alternative rock songs of the last two decades. The band discusses the stories behind "Cough Syrup" and "My Body," life in the legendary band house, working with legendary producers Joe Chiccarelli and Brendan O'Brien, recording Victory Garden in Palm Springs and Idyllwild, running into Paul McCartney at Henson Studios, and the unforgettable encounters with Chris Martin and Morrissey. Plus: Radiohead debates, favorite Strokes songs, music that shaped the band, and much more. Young the Giant's new album "Victory Garden" is available now.
