Ben Sharp of Cloudkicker

As The Story Grows ·

2015/09/27

Dude. Ben Sharp of Cloudkicker. I seriously can't believe how blessed I am with the guests Stephen and I have been able to get on this show. Ben Sharp is a bit tricky to book for a show. He's a commercial airline pilot so he's either totally home or totally not. I caught him at his new Pittsburgh home. Such great conversation. Ben Sharp took his show on the road with Intronaut. Ok wait, I mean his band WAS Intronaut. That's crazy enough, right? Intronaut is incredible...and Ben borrowed them for a

Bruce Fitzhugh of Living Sacrifice and Alex Kenis (formally) of Becoming The Archetype join Trav to discuss MEGADETH!!! Today is the 25th Anniversary of Megadeth's album 'Rust In Peace" and we are celebrating with a Megadeth party. We covered 'Holy Wars...The Punishment Due". Just because. We talk all things Megadeth and even poke fun at some of it. But it's Megadeth. It is part of our bloodstreams. This chapter of ATSG kicks off more than a Megadeth celebration. We are turning a corner

Bruce Fitzhugh of Living Sacrifice

As The Story Grows ·

2015/09/20

Bruce Fitzhugh of Living Sacrifice joins the story with many of his own stories. Ya'll ain't gunna believe this one. LOTS of music in this chapter. We discuss Mark Fields, Stryper, live Quicksand and Hum. Trav embarrasses himself with a story that Bruce can't even remember. Fitzhugh talks about what he's doing now at Manhead Merch. We discuss a lot of older Living Sacrifice, DJ, early albums...lots of old school Living Sacrifice fans will dig this stuff. Bruce Fitzhugh was heavily influenced by the

2015/09/13

Jamie Holmes is a self-made man. Jamie has been a cornerstone in the punk and indie Lehigh Valley PA scene as the owner of Double Decker Records. Double Decker started back in 96 and still going strong. Listen to how Jamie had do duck and weave his way to remain relevant for almost twenty years. There is so much to know, but it remains the same as every other story: the most important tool is flexibility. Jamie knows what he's doing. Then we are joined by his associates Ray Gurz and Chris Bickert

Dan Gailey of Phinehas

As The Story Grows ·

2015/09/07

Sure there are a lot of musician stories, but how many of them ACTUALLY walked away from college to do it? Daniel Gailey has that exact story. Dan had a full wrestling scolarship to college and opted to shred guitars instead. It is so great to see how far he has come in such a short amount of time. Dan Gailey seems to have a niche of being able to step in, learn quick and improve upon the guitar in metal bands. This 26 year old is an old metal soul who isn't ashamed to solo. Oh...and there's a

Ryan Downey is the senior editor for Alternative Press magazine, started his own band management company called Superhero Mgt. managing Greg Puciato and Killer Be Killed, Demon Hunter, The Atlas Moth and Throwdown. Ryan Downey has worked for MTV and used to be the vocalist for Burn It Down. It's ridiculous that Ryan found time to be home let alone talk to Trav and this chapters guest host Seth W. I'll sum this whole chapter up for you by quoting Ryan J Downey in saying that the music industry is

Cory Brandan of Norma Jean

As The Story Grows ·

2015/08/23

Cory Brandan. Yup. THAT Cory. Norma Jean. Eso-Charis. Fear Is The Driving Force. What a great addition to your ATSG collection. Cory and I iron out the Eso-Sacrifice lineups, discuss the upcoming 10th Anniversary tour for Oh God The Aftermath, and discuss...ahem...fondling and murdering fellow astronauts while Heavy Randy is drunk driving on the moon in spadoinkle mode. Yeah. Cory Brandan has his own "everything" company called Unwork. We discuss Norma Jean's move from Solid State to Razor

02:11:09

Shelby Cinca of Frodus

As The Story Grows ·

2015/08/10

Shelby Cinca is a wild conversation. What a blast. We learn how he wound up overseas, the DC scene, Dischord, Ian McKaye...really cool insight on a scene that we all THINK we know. His band Frodus is considered to be a cornerstone band of the 90's post-hardcore. Shelby Cinca has played with members of Fugazi, Dillinger Escape Plan and many, many....MANY others. Seriously. Biggest band camp page I've ever seen. We discuss board gaming, cupcake making and pro wrestling. But it also gets deep, dark and

Justin Carroll (Narcissus)

As The Story Grows ·

2015/08/03

Justin Carroll has done everything. Everything...include wear cardboard socks. Dude played bass in Narcissus...twice. He apparently had a little trouble keeping his clothes on when he was younger. Then...somehow kept clothes on long enough to marry into our family. Started his own business. Made a blog to encourage young couples who can't get pregnant because they couldn't get pregnant. Then they got pregnant. Then they got pregnant again. He's a usually naked, cardboard sock wearing ball of energy

Secret Cutter

As The Story Grows ·

2015/07/26

We are so proud to have Bethlehem's own Secret Cutter join the story. In this second installment of local Lehigh Valley music...Evan, Ekim and Jared sit down with Trav and discuss the early beginnings of Secret Cutter. Stephen and Trav babble a little about Sepultura...just because. We received a very encouraging email from a jent named Jerry Adams. We're proud to be a part of Jerry's monday morning California commute. He's got a band called Ourfathers and we play a track for ya'll at the

Jason Wisdom (Becoming The Archetype, Solamors)

As The Story Grows ·

2015/07/20

Well, it's here. The official craziest tour story we've ever heard here at ATSG. Jason Wisdom mins the story and tells us about the highs of being in Becoming The Archetype as well as the lows of not being in Becoming The Archetype. Jason tells us a little about how the Solamors album hit him at the perfect time and...and at the same time had to be hidden as much as possible. Jason Wisdom becomes a Bible teacher. He then feels a different calling on his life in "RYFO". RYFO [rye-foe] is a

Collin Simula of Maranatha

As The Story Grows ·

2015/07/13

Speaking from experience, we've found that some of the busiest folks are the ones who are trying to be a spouse/parent AND still produce and be involved with relevant music. Enter one Collin Simula of Maranatha. Listen to his story from the early Ohio hardcore scene, his very strange invite to play in Symphony In Peril, switching roles in the same band, and then starting one on your own. His project "Maranatha" has proven to be some of the heaviest stuff you've ever heard, all the while

Jarrod Norris of Deadself

As The Story Grows ·

2015/07/05

...and you thought YOU were busy? Movers and shakers, meet Jarrod Norris...you're new biggest inspiration. If you were anywhere near the heavier side of the Christian music industry this chapter has become you're new version of the six degrees of Kevin Bacon game. Jarrod Norris of Deadself Recordings has been involved in something you are into. He was Deadself Records and made a comp called "Blessed Be This Killing" off of which you've probably heard something: Eso-Charis, Seasons In The

As The Story Grows ·

2015/06/28

Here we go! We are celebrating our thirtieth episode with the 25 year anniversary release of Scaterd Few's "Sin Disease" with the second part of our 12th chapter (which is actually our 13th chapter). Ok. If your head hasn't exploded after that idiotic first sentence, then enjoy part two of our discussion with Allan Aguirre of Scaterd Few. NOW, we're gonna get dirty. Sleeves are rolled up, gloves are off...time to discuss one of the most controversial, quinnesential and cornerstone albums

Allan Aguirre of Scaterd Few (Part One)

As The Story Grows ·

2015/06/21

Fly fishing, mountain life, and making punk history...just a few highlights found on this first of 2 chapters of chapter twelve. The Godfather (yup, we said it) of Christian hardcore, Allan Aguirre (aka Ramald Domkus) shares some exclusive history on the origins of Scaterd Few, Cygnet, which later became Spy Glass Blue, and the highs and lows of starting a grassroots street ministry in the meanest streets of Los Angeles, CA in the 1980s amongst gang violence. His legacy with Scaterd Few literally

Bob Nanna of Braid

As The Story Grows ·

2015/06/14

Braid. Hey Mercedes. Two of Trav's favorite bands. The cool thing is you can talk to one Bob Nanna and cover both. First we have a few records to talk about. Then Stephen tells one of those stories that reminds you that it could be embarrassing to go "commando". Bob Nanna tells us about the space between the end of Braid and the beginning of Hey Mercedes and how it went down in Hawaii. Hear about how Hey Mercedes met their tour manager Chris on the Vagrant tour. Bob Nanna was nice enough

Steven Kleisath of Further Seems Forever (Strongarm,...

As The Story Grows ·

2015/06/07

You ever wonder if that kid that plays video games all the time is ever going to amount to anything? Steven Kleisath joins our story with his journey though music, competitive gaming and airport limo runs. You've heard him before; he's played drums in Strongarm, Shai Hulud, Further Seems Forever, En Masse and Comanche. Mr. Kleisath is also the World Record holder in the classic arcade game "Mario Bros." - scoring over 5 million points. He is also the #3 Ms. Pac-Man (Turbo) player in the

Michael Gilligan of Fake Chapter Records

As The Story Grows ·

2015/05/31

Michael Gilligan, or "Gil", has been running his own record label since 1996. Fake Chapter Records has released split CASSETTES, survived a forced name change, napster, music thievery, industry changes...and he is still going. We had some recording issues with this one so we apologize for the slight hint of wonky with the recording...BUT we took Gil's advice: He attributes "being too stupid to give up" as his secret to success. Gil has worked in the industry at Gig Records,

"Strange Cousins From The East"

As The Story Grows ·

2015/05/24

No special guests this time, Story Growsers...except Trav's son Ben in the intro. How cute is that? Steve and Trav do what they do best: nerd out about music, vinyl and podcasts. We cover a hilarious real life Lebowski-related story. Trav went to see Mastodon and Clutch which opens up a small peek into the mind of Stephen. Scary in there. Then we move onto some podcasts that we have loved as of late and want you all to check out. Jamey Jasta of Hatebreed talks to Brent of Mastodon and BELIEVE me you

Dan Frome of Roomrunner

As The Story Grows ·

2015/05/17

One of the busiest human beings we know...Dan Frome afforded us a little time to talk. Get this...when we called him a while back to record, he said "I'll have to get back to you, the band I'm running sound for is about to do Letterman." Yeah. This is the same guy who recorded the Unteachers 7" and some tracks on "A Human Comedy". He now plays bass for Roomrunner and just recorded with J Robbins. (J keeps coming up...anybody know him? We should talk to him.) Dan started
