The people and the project that is Banana Stand Media has reached a historic landmark. Well, maybe not to you. But fuck you! Not really, we love you and take every word back, baby, come on… After, let’s see, what the hell is this, umm, 10! Ten Months! Yes, after ten months we’re managed to release twenty-five stellar tracks from Portland-based musicians and bands through The Banana Stand Music Podcast.

This has been, in no small part, to the work of friends and fans like Nick Taplin, Ross Faulkenberg, Jott, Louie Herr, Tall, Thundercat, Noise, and every band we’ve ever spoken to and who has given us advice. Most importlantly, we’d like to thank all the bands who’ve agreed to go along with this idea that great music can be fun and free. I’ve been to lucky enough to enjoy the ride.
