The Dark Stuff Podcast This is a video blog that mostly deals with my love of music. I review albums, concerts, music related films, and current trends in the music industry.

For nearly two decades, I have been the host of a weekly new music radio show based in Omaha, Nebraska called 'New Day Rising.' Prior to that, I spent the previous decade working in the music business and founding my own independent record label called Mafia Money Records. My name is Dave Splash and I have been involved in the underground music world for 20 years. I have worked at labels, booking

agencies, web sites, promoters, and radio stations. This is my podcast. The Dark Stuff features interviews - conducted by me - with musicians, artists, and interesting folks from the community. I live in Omaha, and there may be a lot of Omaha-centered content. The show will constantly be evolving. I hope you enjoy.

These albums ruined our lives. In the best way. You MUST SEE This video (https://youtu.be/ZOXr2kt-BGw?si=EFG_vkdXzRkFaAsX)

In episode 13 of Rock of Aging, Dave and Erika reveal the “gateway” albums — the records that turned them into 80s metal fans, then metalheads, and eventually people who never quite recovered. This is our metal origin story — the records that flipped the switch and sent us down a lifelong rabbit hole of riffs, hair, denim, leather, and way too many concert tickets.

If you love 80s metal, chances are one of these albums got you here too.

This week's video is the premiere edition of "Booked On Vinyl." This is a new series created by Todd from‪ the channel, Lost Mixtapes, ‬ and myself to discuss books about rock music. The intention is to have a rotating cast of characters to join in on the discussion, and to have the videos float to different channels every month.

For the first one, we are joined by Will from the channel, The Vinyl Potato, ‬ to discuss 'The Cars: Let The Stories Be Told' by Bill Janovitz. This great new biography of the legendary band was written by Bill Janovitz of the band Buffalo Tom, and author of books about Leon Russell and The Rolling Stones.

Today's video is my interview with the excellent New York City rock band SNOWMEN.

After forming at the beginning of 2024, the band gained a fair amount of notoriety from a handful of viral clips of their debut single, "You Can't Relate." The clips increased the band's profile from that of a local band to one with a national audience. New singles were released throughout 2025.

The band's sound is potent mix of punk, post-punk, 80s new wave, prog rock, and 2000s indie rock. SNOWMEN has just released its debut album, A Kick to the Face, and has its debut US tour booked for Spring 2026.

On this episode, The Dark Stuff sits down with SNOWMEN, the rising NYC rock band you need to know in 2026. We talk new music, band origins, influences, and t...
