VALORIES

Alt-pop artist VALORIES joins Pop Fuss to talk about her new EP, SCRAM. Based in Nashville, she breaks the rules of the genre with emotionally raw lyrics and immersive soundscapes that conjure mystery, chaos, and vulnerability — all with a magnetic edge. Fueled by a drive to push boundaries both thematically and sonically, VALORIES carves out her own lane in the evolving world of alt-pop, creating music that’s as intense as it is unmistakably her.

Consisting of two longtime friends, both veterans in the music scene, TANNING brings fresh, rockin' music with influences ranging from 90's alt rock (Weezer, American HiFi) to angsty, punky, 2000's emo.

Mobley

Mobley joins Pop Fuss to discuss his astonishing new record, "We Do Not Fear Ruins," an LP that will surely end up on many Best of 2025 lists. Mobley is a five-tool player. He writes, produces, performs, acts and even dances to bring his visionary, genre-blending sound to life for both our ears and eyes. His music fuses rock, soul, funk, alternative, R&B, and even hints of prog, sometimes within the same song! His songs live in a world where The Delfonics meet Radiohead—deeply emotional, sonically ambitious, and always compelling!
