This week, we're scratching The Itch to play Ded. As in, we've played Ded's new album Resent (out September 19th) so much that we had to have frontman Joe Cotela on to talk about it.

Joe talks about the perhaps unconscious decision to go heavier after a more melodic turn on 2021's School of Thought, how he prefers to use heavyweight guests like Chad Gray, Chris Motionless, and Danny Leal on more brutal tracks rather than for radio clout, and how humility is always more attractive than ego.

Plus, Aaron has a marketing idea, and Joe has a good reason why that idea could lead to trouble. Link in the comments. Enjoy.

The deluxe edition of Winona Fighter's My Apologies to the Chef is out, featuring acoustic(ish) new arrangements of the entire album, plus a few sweet treats for your musical palette.

These reworks give the album an entirely new feel and make for an experience that's fun, moving, and definitely still "punk" even without the distorted guitars. It's highly recommended listening.

The new OXYMORRONS EP drops TOMORROW and it's worth your repeated listens!

Dee, Jafe, and K.I. have brought new sounds and moods to their new EP. It'll make you move, think, and feel. Pre-save/order/listen now, and check out our conversation with them about the album while you're at it. Links to both in the comments.

New Episode! "E286 Oxymorrons on Defining Independence and How They Create, Destroy, Rebuild, Repeat on Their New EP"

This week, we're scratching The Itch to bring back the boys! OXYMORRONS return for the first time since 2023 (I know, right?!) to tell us all about their new EP, Create. Destroy. Rebuild. Repeat. Life is very different for Dee, Jafe, and K.I. since their last appearance on the show, but they never cease to apply their lessons learned to their art and to their lives, or to share them with anyone who's willing to listen. As always, our conversation with the guys exists in the sweet spot where depth and humor meet, where we can mourn a loss one moment and propose Oxymorrons Goes Bluegrass the next. This one's definitely worth your time. Link in the comments. Enjoy.

Our second conversation of 2025 with Nathan Aurora of Aurorawave is live! He's had a big year of setting and reaching goals, including dropping a new album and making headway into heavy music spaces with bookings on Louder Than Life and ShipRocked Cruise. The Itch is thrilled to have played a small role, and is always here to celebrate the success of driven artists.

Check out our new conversation with Nathan, and check out Aurorawave's new album Monument. Links to both in the comments.

"If you don't talk about your goals, they're just ideas in your head. But when you start talking about them and trying to put plans in motion, they become part of the physical, tangible universe."
-Nathan

New Episode! "E285 Nathan Aurora of Aurorawave on Shiprocked, Reggae's Reputation, and Turning a Vision Into Reality"

This week, we're scratching The Itch to make waves! Nathan Aurora of Aurorawave joins us for the second time this calendar year to discuss the band's new album Monument, how his vision for the year has become reality, and how The Itch played a role in helping them book ShipRocked Cruise! It's a fun conversation that touches on genre-crossing guest spots, goal setting, and splitting time between two very different musical worlds. Plus, Nathan now has an audience of two tiny ones, and The Itch gets a hint about some possible future Aurorawave collabs. Link in comments. Enjoy.

If you've followed us for a while, you know that we've been on the receiving end of great support from likeminded people in the music podcast community. Jay Scott of The Hook Rocks has been one of those people. His show has been silent lately as he's dealt with some very serious health issues.

This Friday at Reggies in Chicago, more friends of ours are putting on a benefit show for Jay's recovery featuring Goodbye June, Leilani Kilgore, and many more. If you're in the area, we'd love to rock out with you for a good cause. The link for tickets is in the comments. Rock fists in the air for Jay!
