2024/05/08

Whalehammer is more than just a ridiculous (but kinda great) band name!Here's a conversation with the local trio about marrying heavy music with layers of synths, translating technically dense songwriting to a live setting, that bonkers drum kit (you need to see it to believe it), and much more! Plus, you get to hear a couple of new demos on this episode. Hot damn! This episode brought to you by our pals at Devine Shirt Company.Huge thanks to everyone who supports the podcast

By complete coincidence, its eventual release date -- today, April 30 -- is the 25th anniversary of CKUW 95.9 FM on the public airwaves!

This one's a little different. It's part of a series of episodes I'm doing in collaboration with local rapper Ezoman's Creative Side Entertainment for this year's 'Future of M"you"sic' competition, which is a six-month long showcase of up-and-coming local artists at the Limelight. Here's the second episode, which is similar to my old Quick Hits format (remember that?), and it features a clip of Ezoman giving some background on the event (note my quick robo-correction of the date
