    E42 - "Unrest" by Kind Skies wtih Chris Boss & Mitch Snyder
    2025/11/14
    Kind Skies is a great band from Lexington, KY. They do things their way, authentically and organically, and allow things to unfold as they do.

    I caught up with Chris on the first segment of the episode then the rest of the band showed up for the second. It was great to chat with them and deep dive into their track "Unrest" that comes off their August 2025 release, "Echo".

  • E41 - "All I Need" by ExactlyNo with Nick and Ted

    E41 - "All I Need" by ExactlyNo with Nick and Ted
    2025/10/15
    Finally got a chance to talk with ExactlyNo, one of my favorite bands from Minneapolis, MN about their single, “All I Need”.

    Known for their big, dynamic sound—explosive drums, guitars that double as riffs and atmosphere, and vocals that carry both raw edge and melodic intention—ExactlyNo push their sonic boundaries on this track.

    “All I Need” was produced by Jeremy Tappero and mastered by Bruce Templeton at MicroPhonic Mastering.

    In our conversation, we’ll explore how the song came together—from writing and arrangement choices to emotional themes. What drove the lyrics? How did the production serve the message? And where does “All I Need” sit in ExactlyNo’s evolving identity, especially as they edge toward their next full-length? Whether you’re into songwriting craft, rock production choices, or the stories behind new independent records, this one’s for you.

    E40 - "Butterflies" by The Snorts with Aaron Stoquert
    2025/10/15
    Take Two...

    You'll hear us joke about it in the episode but this was my 2nd attempt at getting Aaron Stoquert from The Snorts on an episode. We pulled up this time around to talk about the song “Butterflies,” off of their 2024 release, "pitter patter", which I can't recommend enough from beginning to end.

    If you’re into songs that sprint, sting, and stay with you after they’re over, this one’s a ride. Tune in to hear the full story behind “Butterflies.”

  • E38 - "WTF" by Adios Fatso with Sir-Ken Celli

    E38 - "WTF" by Adios Fatso with Sir-Ken Celli
    2025/09/06
    Adios Fatso is a Massachusetts-based DIY punk project injecting dark humor and sharp social commentary into short, explosive songs.

    I sat down with Sir-Ken Celli from the group and chatted about their jam, "WTF", which was mixed by Andrew Berlin (Descendents, Rise Against) and mastered by Jason Livermore (NOFX, Lagwagon) at the legendary Blasting Room.

    It's a super fun song with a SLAMMING ending that, though I respect the artists penchant for brevity, I would love to loop in for about 3 more minutes.

    E37 - "While Dying" by Skjolden with Carl Skildum
    2025/09/06
    Skjolden is the first solo project from Carl Skildum of Inexorum, Majesties, and Antiverse. Located in Minneapolis and entirely self-directed, Skjolden crosses death metal and melodic black metal.

    I've known Carl for a long time across multiple bands/projects, and I loved pulling with him on this episode to reconnect and learn what he's been working on.

    On this episode, we focus on “While Dying”, one of the standout tracks from the album, "Insouciant Metaphysical Grandeur" released June 20, 2025 to critical acclaim.

    Be sure to show your support on Bandcamp Fridays and connect with Carl and his other bands on Instagram on IG to stay connected.

  • E36 - "Call To Action" by 504 Plan with Scott Pasch from DCxPC Live Records

    E36 - "Call To Action" by 504 Plan with Scott Pasch from DCxPC Live Records
    2025/06/22
    504 Plan is a high school punk band from Washington, D.C., whose music is as urgent as it is unfiltered. Their debut vinyl, DCxPC Live & Dead Vol. 6, features the explosive single Call to Action and captures both their sweat-soaked live energy (recorded at DC9) and their studio polish (tracked at the legendary Inner Ear with Don Zientara).

    In this episode, we sit down not with the band, but with Scott Pasch, founder of DCxPC Live Records, to talk about what drew him to 504 Plan, the ethos behind the label, and the importance of documenting live punk in the streaming age. Scott walks us through the recording process, and what it means to press something real for a new generation of angry, brilliant kids.

    If you care about punk as a movement and not just a sound, this one’s for you.

  • E35 - "Psyayayduck" by Indoor Friends with Kat and Amanda

    E35 - "Psyayayduck" by Indoor Friends with Kat and Amanda
    2025/06/22
    Indoor Friends (Boston, MA) fuse confessional punk and melodic power-pop into something entirely their own, and nowhere is that more clear than in their latest single, psyayayduck

    What starts as a lyrical spiral of emotional wreckage becomes a full-blown cathartic release—chaotic, catchy, and unexpectedly fun.

    In this episode, the band breaks down the writing process behind psyayayduck and how they balance humor, heartbreak, and harmony in everything they do.
