The B-52’s are one of the most beloved bands in American pop music. From their early days in Athens, Ga., to their triumphant comeback with Cosmic Thing, they’ve experienced every high and low in the music industry. The new box set The Warner and Reprise Years celebrates the band’s career with nine limited edition LPs.

At the core is the trio of vocalists: Fred Schneider, Kate Pierson, and Cindy Wilson. They’ve remained close friends through the decades, even when the future of the band was uncertain.

In this episode of Jordan and Demi, Jordan Edwards talks to Pierson about the history of the band. “Rock Lobster,” “Love Shack,” and even their version of The Flinstones theme—here are the stories behind The B-52’s biggest hits and the bond formed between a few art school kids who loved to dance.
