EPYSODE 51: "Calm Before" by The Rising Storm.

Guests: All 6 original band members.

In this rare and revealing epysode, we dive deep into the 1967 cult classic and one of the most sought-after garage-psych albums of the era. Joined by all six original band members, they reunite to share behind-the-scenes stories from the Phillips Academy dorms where the band began, the DIY spirit that fueled the album’s recording, and how it surprisingly became a timeless underground gem.

Hear candid reflections on their favorite tracks, the behind-the-scenes stories, and the unexpected resurgence of "Calm Before" among collectors and psych-rock historians. Whether you're a longtime fan or just discovering The Rising Storm, this epysode is a treasure trove of insight, nostalgia, and rare audio history.

I hope you dig "Calm Before" as much as I do.

- Farmer John
