On Episode 6 of When The Music Mattered, Ray and Kris kick things off talking about those forgotten albums that slap harder than you remembered—Ray brings up License to Ill by the Beastie Boys, and then throws it to Kris: “What’s an album you forgot was that damn good?” Drop yours in the comments. Underrated albums only. No skips allowed.

Then we dive deep with East Coast singer-songwriter Alexander Anderson—a dude who brings the Atlantic winds with him wherever he plays. From gigging in tiny pubs to balancing side hustles, we get into it all. Alexander talks about what it means to make music in the Maritimes, the hustle behind the harmony, and how kitchen parties translate into clicks online.

If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to keep your roots while finding new roads, or what it’s really like to write songs for the folks back home while trying to break through globally—this is the episode for you.

🎧 Next week: Ray’s going solo with a UK-based pop-punk band called Chasing the Call.
