Seeing the world is an eye-opening experience-especially if you grew up in the tiny town of Draper, Utah-so it's no wonder Meg & Dia's new album, Here, Here and Here, paints a portrait of what life has been like for this hard-working band as they've toured for the past two and a half years in support of their 2006 debut album Something Real (which spawned the fan favorite singles "Roses" and "Monster"). Despite being fronted and named after sisters Meg and Dia Frampton, Meg & Dia is very much a collaborative effort between five individual musicians. With the upcoming release of their second album Here, Here and Here, this group of five friends has begun to evolve into the kind of musicians they want to be-although they're the first to admit that it's still a collective work in progress. "On the first record, Dia and I were these little naïve girls who got this huge opportunity to make a record," Meg recalls. "We went into it completely unaware of everything. Then we traveled the world and our perspective expanded a hundred-fold."

Meg & Dia have certainly shown just how far they've come since their debut release. Here, Here and Here is a musical and emotional rollercoaster through various striations of pop-rock sounds and sensations, with each of the 13 tracks brimming with the band's signature candor and charisma. Meg & Dia stepped outside of their musical comfort zone by experimenting with different instruments and arrangements.

PCM's Alexa March got time to catch up with Meg and Dia. Check it out!

PCM's Kristyn and Alexa's first set of the day was Meg and Dia. Although their sound is relaxing and mellow much like their lead vocalist's appearance, their performance was not our most memorable. Their fanbase is obvious as plenty were there to appreciate the female rockers. As the band played tracks from their latest album, we couldn't help but miss their old sound. They seemed to be missing that rocker edge. If you're looking for music to listen to on a rainy day, this is your stop.
