Join PipemanRadio as I sit down with the dynamic group ILLUMISHADE, where we tackle everything from time zone slip-ups to the alluring sounds of their latest album, 'Another Side of You.' Apologies are in order as we kick off, but swiftly move to the heart of the music that truly resonates with both the band and myself. ILLUMISHADE shares the inside scoop on their creative journey, revealing the evolution of their sound and the thrill surrounding their upcoming release. You won't want to miss the tales of battling the sun in Florida and Costa Rica, which offer a backdrop to our conversation as vivid as their album art.

As we jam out to the intricacies of their new single "Badass Song," ILLUMISHADE takes us behind the scenes of their organic songwriting process and the euphoria of playing it live. The band recounts their electrifying tour experiences and the audience's enthusiastic reactions, especially to crowd-favorite "Cloud Reader." The chat takes a turn towards the anticipation of their album release shows in Switzerland and the buzz about their North American tour. Listen in for an exclusive rundown of tour dates and cities, including a special mention of New York's Gramercy venue, and share in the excitement for what promises to be a monumental series of shows for both the band and their fans.
