New episode is out now! This time I spoke with Laura Larson, singer, guitarist and songwriter currently of Scrunchies. A Minneapolis band that make a hell of a sound who have a new record coming out on Learning Curve Records. Their new album, Colossal, is just that. In part, thanks to the ever and always amazing talent of Steve Albini. This is certainly a topic that we discuss as well as Laura’s earliest memories of music, the Minneapolis music scene, and of course, discovering punk rock and this album / split 12” . Get it now wherever you get your pods!

Folks! I’ve made another music video!This time for GNARNIA for their song “Babyhead” off the new double EP release Thin Ice/Crimetown from Psychic Static. It’s bandcamp Friday too, so it would be even better if you pick that up there too! Much thanks goes out to David Lysik for putting me in touch with his former band mate Ricci Fantasia who filmed all this original footage from shows at Club Babyhead. The other half of the video was filmed by current video documentarian James Lastowski. This video as like the song is our own little tribute to Babyhead as well as other loved venues that have shuttered for one reason or another. Hope you like it.

The first single off GNARNIA's double EP Thin Ice/Crimetown.Babyhead serves as an homage to the club, as well as many other beloved venues that have suffered...

Who’s joining us tonight?! This is going to be a great one! **s

Happy 30th anniversary to this amazing album. Admittedly, I wasn’t very into this album at first. It was certainly a slow burn on my psyche. But I’ve never owned it on vinyl and happy to have found it for little money.($20)and a very nice color variant. Thanks for the great tunes . I forgot how cool that gear in that space looked.

Jon is very much a New Yorker, though and through. Not exactly what I expected when approached with the idea of speaking to a “industrial” artist that makes heavy, synth driven punk about Nine Inch Nails’ The Downward Spiral. Further confounding was the idea that he has been hearing disabled for the majority of his life. That was something that made it irresistible to pass up. And I’m glad I didn’t. Bangladeafy is carving out their own path of heavy synth based rock with a punk intensity and attention span. Most albums clocking in under 20 minutes. Their latest album, Vulture (being released June 21, 2024 on Nefarious Industries) is not different in that regard but there’s certainly an evolution happening there and we touch on some of that in this conversation. Pre orders are being taken now for CD’s and cassettes. You can get that here: https://bangladeafy.bandcamp.com/album/vulture

20/05/2024

Oh boy! This one is coming up soon! This was a difficult one in the sense that I had no previous relationship with this album, but I get it now! Sorry to and for attempting to further demystify this album, but it’s all in good fun really. Stay tuned!

17/05/2024

Nice job and ! This blood splatter variant is killler! And FYI, if you were on the fence, this album is even better on vinyl. Yes, I’m biased. And thank you for the extras. Hope to catch you soon!

New episode is up today with Matt McGuyer of Amblare, Mock Orange and many others. We cover all the things but mostly Amblare because they have a new album out now, released by Melodic Virtue. It’s a bitter sweet conversation because the album has finally been released but only after losing their drummer, Bryan St. Pere, best known as the drummer for Hum. But it was a great conversation overall. Matt is a wonderful guy and it was great getting to know him and find out what he has got planned for the not too distant future and of course, the album that ties it all together, Chavez’s Ride The Fader! Check out the self titled released wherever you get music, but the vinyl from Melodic Virtue and get the pod wherever you get them! Thanks!

06/03/2024

Look at this handsome devil! Next up will be covering ‘s debut album ! After sitting with this album, I can see why David Lynch liked it and used some of his music in his films. It’s a little weird. Lots of nuance. I’m thinking tune in tomorrow!
