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!

12 Years Baby! We've come a long way and thanks for listening now, then and )hopefully)

Very proud to welcome the first OSCAR winner on the podcast in the form of Cord Jefferson. He is the director/writer of the film American Fiction which won the award for "Best Adapted Screenplay" and when I saw him in a Propagandhi shirt, I HAD to have him on the podcast. We hung out in his living room and chopped it up over an hour about his time in Tuscon, AZ, his Mount Rushmore punk/hardcore bands and the time he went out with The Bled on Warped Tour for a week. This is a crucial chat 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. Duane and I discuss the concept of selling out, getting a scholarship for playing guitar (!) and working in a library. Duane is very open and honest in his approach to music and he brought that same spirit to our discussion.

Beyond stoked to bring you this discussion with Matthew Wainwright from Cold Gawd to the pod waves this week. I became quickly obsessed with their new full length ("I'll Drown on this Earth") on Dais Records and wanted to know more about this very nuanced band that pulls from shoegaze, punk, hardcore and many other places. We discuss growing up in the Inland Empire, goosebump inducing moments and social media shoegaze. Listen and enjoy!

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". The podcast is an honest and revealing look at the experience of playing in a band that did a lot of cool things, but never "made it" in the traditional sense of the term. Jon and I chat about that, the Warped Tour and so much more.

We have a damn legend in the game on the pod this week in the form of Tim Kasher from Cursive! They are releasing a new LP on Run For Cover and of course, jumped at the opportunity to talk to Tim about his screenwriting career, looking back at his catalog as well as the Omaha scene growing up (a lot of 311 talk, no joke). Go spin their entire catalog for goodness sake!

It always makes me happy when I put the shine on people who work behind the scenes at record labels, fests, photographers and a lot more that make this whole scene grow and thrive. James and Aaron run the incredible festival based in Tulsa, OK called Flyover Fest and in the past few years, has risen to prominence as one of the destinations for bands to play. We get into the origins of the festival, some do's and don'ts as well as the band they wish they could book.

A rare three way podcast with two friends of the show, Vadim Taver from This Day Forward & Chris Enriquez from On the Might of Princes. Selfishly, this is to promote/celebrate our bands show on August 25 at The Bowery Ballroom but more importantly offered us a chance to speak about our experiences with each of our bands circumstances that drew us back to playing shows again, revisiting old songs and nostalgia.
