Internet funny person and director Stanley Sievers is on the pod this week! You have undoubtedly seen his viral clips of "Coming out of Mosh Retirement" and others flying around the internet but he also played in a cool band called Dead Icons and has a long history with our beloved DIY community.

Drummers never get the love they should, but I am here to RECTIFY that by inviting my friend, Tucker Rule, on the podcast this week.

Bobby Ferry from 16

2022/12/14

Let's go SLOOOWWW with Bobby Ferry from the legendary doom/stoner/metal band, 16. I think this band is really interesting as they have watched scenes come and go but kept on doing their thing and are releasing some of the best music of their career. Bobby and I discuss the skateboarding scene in the OC, the impact of Pushead on their band and drug use. It was a very interesting discussion with a person I didn't know at all, and now...we can talk about 90's hardcore as friends. Buy Podcast Merch

So happy to welcome Graham Sayle from High Vis on the podcast this week! His band put out one of my favorite LP's from this year called "Blending" and I had to have him on the show after catching their legendary set at Outbreak Fest, so we hopped on the digital line to chat. We got into a lot of things including his very practical approach to the band, work and of course the UK hardcore scene.

Jonah and I have circled the same group of friends for many years, but this was the first time we got a chance to actually sit down and get to know each other! Jonah plays guitar in the awesome band United Nations (with friend of the show Geoff Rickley), a co-host of a fun podcast with his sister called "How Did We Get Weird?" and has been a music writer for Alternative Press and Fuse's "Steven's Untitled Rock Show". Needless to say, he's been around and I was happy to dig into Cleveland hardcore,

The very last in our installment of live podcasts that I did at the almighty Outbreak Fest in June of 2022 in front of a live audience. These two chats were awesome and of course, with great people involved in independent music. The first one is with Mat Kerekes from Citizen in which we discuss video games, working out and UK audiences. Then, I chat with Isa Holliday from Slow Crush as they were wrapping up a whirlwind world tour that was so ambitious I admired it from afar. We got into her

2022/10/26

Early 2000's emo/post-hardcore will never die! While nostalgia is a powerful drug, Ben and his band Armor For Sleep don't just rest on their laurels, they release a killer new LP and play shows around it. I am glad to welcome Ben into the fold and have deep conversations with him about putting on shows at 13 years old, how cool pop punk is and the positive and negatives of "people pleasing".

2022/10/12

"Like Hoobastank...but doesn't suck" are some immortal words a friend of mine said about Anberlin and I will never forget that. I was pleased as punch to tell Stephen that over our internet connection conversation (to be clear, I like Hoobastank). We get in deep with the feeling of being an outcast, the difference between "shows" and "concerts" and the business side of music. It's a wide ranging discussion and think you will find some value in here. Enjoy! Buy Podcast Merch Here Theme Song by

Rise and Fall is an often overlooked, but incredibly important band to the punk and hardcore scene not only in the US but worldwide. Hailing from Belgium (you can laugh at my outro to this episode saying how much I love Swedish hardcore and then after the fact LOL'ing but deciding to leave it in), Bjorn Dossche sang for the band and I had to bring him on the show. We discussed a lot of things including the Belgian hardcore scene, US touring and keeping things comfortable. Let's get it! Check out

Geoff Rowley, professional skateboarder

2022/09/21

One of my favorite skaters of all time, Geoff Rowley, is on the show this week. To say I am thrilled is an understatement. His parts in legendary skate videos like 411 and others not only got me stoked on his talent but the music he chose was always a bit different and always hit the punk/hardcore/metal side of things real hard. I knew his affinity for the music runs deep, but how deep I didn't know until now. We discuss his feelings around being a video game character, Discord Records and so much

We make it VERY special by having a white whale guest hanging out this week in the form of Chris Higdon from the almighty (and recently reunited) Elliott! I chased him down for the past 3 years and only recently started popping up in podcasts, so I HAD TO HAVE HIM. We talk about his past bands (Falling Forward, Frontiers),
