OH THE HUMANITY make heartfelt, hooky-as-hell anthemic music. They put out a kickass self-titled record this spring and talked with us about the experience of fighting the urge to keep tinkering on it. Oh, and what beer is inappropriate for backseat, room temperature consumption? You'll have to tune in to find out.

Joe and Matt talk to Chris and Kevin of Oh the Humanity! and talk about polar seltzer, tracking and mixing an album during the pandemic, IPA fatigue and Melodic Hardcore. Transition music: Perspective - Oh the Humanity!

Fugazi forever. Getting to talk to bassist Joe Lally last week was a blast, and it reminded me that I had this (admittedly terrible) photo from a Messthetics show in France a few years ago. We talked Guinness, hardcore we were too young to see and shot the s**t with one of the nicest guys out there. Peep it --> https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/ourbeerpodcast/episodes/2021-05-21T08_16_56-07_00

Last week we tapped into the the trans-Atlantic tubes and shared pints with Falco, aka Andy Falkous of mclusky, future of the left and Christian Fitness. I want to refer to him as a "bloke" but that is silly and I have never said that out loud. If you like loud music put your ears to it!

Joe and Matt talk to Andrew Falkous aka Falco from McLusky, Future of the Left and Christian Fitness about Post Hardcore, fitting things into categories, the friction between working class and middle class and more!

Last week we kicked it with Keith Kirchoff: Pianist & Composer and chatted classical music & Belgian beers. What a treat to get to revisit a few classic beers and discuss music as an art form. Keith has been finding crossover between music and beer for many years, and we can't wait to get back to one of his Original Gravity productions! This one's a mind-expander, check it out.

Incredible pianist Keith Kirchoff talks to Matt and Joe about classical music in modern setting, life as a pianist, the brewing industry, home brewing and belgian beers. http://www.keithkirchoff.com/

If you listen back to Darkbuster nowadays, as we did preparing for this conversation, you'll realize that Lenny Lashley has been slinging serious hooks for years. As Lenny Lashley's Gang Of One he's refined those hooks, kept the mischief alive and told some deeply personal stories. We hung out with him & his dogs & talked songwriting, Budweiser, the New England Revolution and his new record, out soon. Check it friends!

Matt and Joe sit down with Lenny Lashley of Darkbuster and Lenny's Gang of One to talk about punk rock, live shows, soccer, and fighting for whats right

Check out a companion playlist for our episode with Anna Frances. It’s full off all the best emo goodness, and it was made by the lady herself.

We bellied up to a (virtual) bar with our friend and colleague Anna Keaney. She is largely responsible for the visual languages of both Springdale Beer Co. and Jack's Abby Craft Lagers, and is a lovely human being. Not to mention, a huge music nerd and playlist fanatic. Tune in!

I threw together a handful of songs that's a mix of any of the bands I could find on Spotify that I got to see Piebald with, as well as some other stuff that I was listening to at the time. Unfortunately there's only 1 Damn Personals song on the spotifies, and no Center of the earth, Air Tight Garage, a severe lack of Karate songs and all sort of other bands from then I couldn't find. But what I found made me think of driving around in my 1979 Box Brown Chevy Malibu playing CDs on a discman with that tape adapter that everyone knows about.

19/03/2021

We got a chance to talk to one of our favorite frontmen and songwriters this week, Travis Shettel of Piebald and TS & The Past Haunts! Piebald was such a huge part of the local punk and hardcore scene we grew up in, and they remain as idiosyncratic as ever. Travis was kind to share stories and beers with us, and we talked lots about his other craft as a bartender. Hey! Check it out...

This is rad - something else worth supporting with your Bandcamp bucks tomorrow!

Drumroll please...😁 Here it is, one of our first projects; Compilations with Cause (CwC)!

CwC is a monthly handpicked multi-genre mixtape series featuring the music of some of my favorite Boston (and I hope beyond too) artists! The goal of this project is to support and promote the work of those organizations advocating, inspiring and organizing positive social change in our communities.

I’m hoping that by riding the wave of excitement surrounding “Bandcamp Fridays”we can raise some both funds and awareness for the music and the orgs!

This very first compilation will benefit East Boston Community Soup Kitchen!!

Featuring music from Prateek, Service, Genie Santiago, TIFFY, Lonely Leesa & The Lost Cowboys, Meiwei Music, SATURNIIDS, Moedotcom, Senseless Optimism, The Spearmint Sea, Shepherdess, Motivate Merren and Harsh Foxing! Thank you to these amazing folks for their contributions to this project!

Head to https://compilationswithcause.bandcamp.com/releases and click the follow button so you’ll be reminded when the link goes live this Friday, March 5th!!!
