In addition to being a professional wrestler, Justin's the founder of the greatest show on earth...Olde Wrestling! We have a long overdue sit down with someone who we've known in passing for many years, have been a fan and supporter, etc. and it went as beautifully as we'd expected.

Melody Caudill (Career Woman)

Why Did We Ever Meet? ·

2021/08/11

This week's guest has the rare distinction of being a 2nd generation artist who's ALSO the daughter of a former guest. At the young age of 17, Melody Caudill's songwriting ability exceeds a level most musicians only hope to achieve and in hearing her talk, it will come as no surprise. Her approach to her music & self-awareness shows through in conversation as well. This is a fantastic discussion with a songwriter who is already impacting (and will continue to) listeners with her honest, sincere

As a musician and producer, Brian has influenced & shaped the punk & hardcore scene. After fronting legendary hardcore band Battery, his career then shifted into production. His name is synonymous with landmark records from Texas Is The Reason, Cave In, The Explosion, Hot Water Music, Strike Anywhere...and that's the tip of the iceberg.

Why Did We Ever Meet? ·

2021/07/28

This falls under the "long time coming" category and it was worth the wait. Arty Shepherd is a name you've heard a million times on WDWEM and with good reason. His bands and songwriting have been a staple in post-hardcore, punk rock, alt rock, and hardcore. In addition to ET:11, Instruction, Gay For Johnny Depp, he's perhaps best known nowadays as one of the people behind the beloved music venue, Saint Vitus Bar. Arty is a great songwriter and storyteller. Everyone's in for a real treat this week

What is it like to have made possibly the best album ever? Well, we ask our modest & wonderful guest about this because as a member of Farside, that distinction was thrust upon them & their incredible album "Rigged", whose influence is still being felt today. Popeye is the best kind of guest you can ask for. He's fun, down for wherever the conversation goes and this episode reflects that. We don't just talk music, we go EVERYWHERE. Just assume this won't be the last time you hear him on WDWEM

2021/07/07

Coming back from a holiday weekend & we're slinging HEAT! Josh English is our guest this week. His band, Six Going On Seven, is a standout band of the late 90's-early 00's scene. With a sound that leaned more on the influence of power pop & strong "power trio" melodies, they distinguished themselves from many of their peers with timeless songs. Our conversation takes a lot of really unique turns, but if nothing else, you NEED to listen for one particular story involving Skid Row. Yes, that Skid

Our 75th episode is pretty damn good one if we do say so ourselves! Norman Brannon is name very familiar if you've been listening to the podcast for any amount of time. In addition to being a member of CRUCIAL bands like Texas Is The Reason & Shelter, he's also responsible for the massively influence Anti-Matter Zine (whose comp gave the world one of the finest songs Quicksand ever blessed our ears with). This conversation is a really special one to us & we hope you enjoy it. EXTRA SPECIAL THANKS

2021/06/16

Such an awesome guest this week! Rob Pennington is well known to so many punk rock and hardcore kids from the mid 90's to the early 00's. As a member of Endpoint, they carved a path for the Louisville KY scene that would endure for decades to come. As the frontman for By The Grace Of God, Pennington & his bandmates took a "speak from gut & heart" approach to their lyrics by taking on heavy subject matter (organized religion, politics, corporate greed). Never one to rest, he continued on his career &

This week's guest totes quite a resume of influential bands. As a member of Saetia & Errortype:11, you'd think that's enough to cement a legacy. Add Instruction & God Fires Man to the mix...you've got someone with stories to tell. Adam Marino had an incredible journey through music. That journey led to real life, a career change, and a family. As is the case so often, the journey comes back around to music.

This week's episode is a special one as it's someone from Wes's past! Joseph Grillo has been a fixture in post-hardcore/emo/punk rock for several years. His band Garrison left an indelible mark on the emo wave of the late 90's-early 00's through a series of incredible releases and their own distinct sound. Joseph wasted no time as a musician as a member of both Instruction & God Fires Man, as well as his own wild project Gay For Johnny Depp (that ended up making a major impact on underground
