When the Canadian indie rock band Casper Skulls got their start about 10 years ago, things were a little different. Firstly, band members Melanie St-Pierre-Bednis and Neil Bednis weren't married at the time, and now they're husband and wife. Secondly, they hadn't moved back to their hometown of Sudbury, Ont., and they didn't have a baby yet. Melanie and Neil join Tom Power to talk about making their latest album, Kit-Cat, through those major life changes — and why it might be their best record yet.
