We welcome Stin from Chat Pile onto the podcast this week for a few reasons. One of them being that their new record absolutely RIPS and you should listen to it now, it's called "Cool World" out on Flesner Recordings. Another reason is that he's an incredibly thoughtful and insightful human being about what art he's creating as well as the fact that ANYONE is paying attention to his band is a privilege. We discuss the best job he's ever had, making "art" for a living and what most people perceive

One of the hardest working bands in the scene right now, we have Katerina from Escuela Grind on the pod this week.

Josh is a friend. Josh has created a ton of great music with bands like Neil Perry, Hot Cross, Joshua Fit For Battle and much more. Josh also had a pretty intense journey the last few years to where he didn't know if he was ever going to be able to play guitar again. We get into it all and discuss New Jersey greats, short song life and a whole host of other things. I am glad he is still here with us, and am so happy to share this conversation with you.

Thrilled to welcome a post-rock/prog musician, Rory Friers onto the show. He plays in the band And So I Watch You From Afar and hails from Ireland. A lot of cool and unique things going on with his band and music so I had to bug him while he was over here in the US on tour with Caspian. We got into the Ireland scene, his work in scoring music for films as well as his advice on where I should start with prog-rock. A good "bloke" as they say overseas and hope you enjoy!

Man, I love my job. I get to bring you these great discussions with people who are creating some incredible art and today, we have a big one. Duane Denison is the guitarist from noise rock pioneers, The Jesus Lizard. They are back with a newly released LP and aren't shying away from being the charming weirdos they are.

Beyond stoked to bring you this discussion with Matthew Wainwright from Cold Gawd to the pod waves this week.

Pleased as punch to welcome my new friend (and hopefully yours) Jon Lullo on the podcast. He sang and played guitar in Down to Earth Approach who were active in the early 2000's and on the legendary Vagrant Records in their heyday. We spoke about his experience in the band that is well documented in a new podcast called "Even If It Kills Me".

Inside were always a mythic and mysterious band to me. I was able to see them twice here in So Cal, which was weird for a band all the way from Long Island in the late 90's. They disbanded before they left a trail of interviews about who they were and where they came from. Fortunately for all of us their music is widely available now and they just played a few reunion shows to celebrate a re-release on cassette of their recordings. I was able to connect with Mike, the vocalist of the band as well as

I think one of the coolest things to watch in independent music is bands growing up and evolving their sound but still staying connected to what compelled them to create in the first place. In my opinion, Four Year Strong are one of those bands we've all watched grow up, evolve and only become better over time. Dan O'Connor has played in FYS since it's inception and on the eve of their new record getting released I had to have him on the show to discuss the perfect hardcore record, growing up and

He played guitar for Garrison (Revelation Records) and currently fronts the band Her Heads On Fire (Iodine Recordings).
