Happy Monday, Happy Holidays, and let's get down to the real question here...DOES IT DOOM???? Today's guest is Steve Reis...face of the very popular YouTube channel Does it Doom? Steve's channel helps break down stoner, sludge, and doom songs, bands, and gear...his goal is to de-mystify doom and help folks play the songs and get the tones. How does Matt Pike do it? How does Sunn 0))...

This episode nearly killed us. Want to hear Jeff and JD both have a stroke in one episode? Here you go! We talk to Forrest, Isaac, and Jessica, 3/4s of Oakland's ambient doomgaze choose-you-own-label band Daxma, who just released a new record called Unmarked Boxes on Blues Funeral Recordings. 15 minutes in to our first attempt to record, Jeff realized he didn't hit record on Zoom again....

We're back  celebrating Pop's memory by pulling random records and listening to songs/bands we've never heard of. One thing's for sure after the second round....Pop REALLY was a man who liked his music smooth! Jeff got served up some random awesome bands by the Spotify algorithm (I know, we were shocked too), so he made JD blind listen to The Odious, Thank You Scientist, and Ri...

WE GOT A DO-OVER FOR LAST WEEK'S GOOF. Marc Brandi is a gentleman, scholar, and wicked funny musician who was nice enough to re-join us only a week after we forgot to push record on his first episode. We're forever in your debt Marc. Lowcaster is Marc's bay area heavy prog home, and he's also a permanent member of MG&R (formed by Michael Gallagher from Isis). We listened to...

Well...57 episodes in and it finally happened...Jeff didn't press all the record buttons and our wonderful 2 hour chat with Marc Brandi from Lowcaster and Mustard Gas and Roses is gone...at least Marc's part is gone. We may be able to salvage the recording at a later date for comedy purposes...and a new episode with Marc will be up next Monday. This week, we reassembled the full Trevor C...

We've got a bit of a fun departure this week...Jeff inherited a record collection, so we decided to celebrate Pop's memory by pulling random records and listening to songs/bands we've never heard of.

Doug Walker (Monolith, The Spice Pistols) comes back shortly after his first episode to talk about the devastating fire that took his (and his bandmates' from The Spice Pistols) house, and most of their belongings, including pretty much all of their music and recording gear. Doug gets real talking about the fire and it's aftermath, gets full of gratitude talking about the music community...

This one requires very little preamble. Sacha Dunable of Dunable Guitars and Intronaut sat down with Jay and Thomas from JML guitars to talk about building guitars, and their collaboration building 8 one-of-a-kind guitars featuring Dunable's shapes, electronics, and finishes on top of JML's hand carved neck-through construction. Jeff got his grubby hands on of the guitars, but a couple a...

To celebrate the one year anniversary of the podcast, it only seemed fitting to catch up with some of our favorite people: Pete Holland from Elephant Tree and Trippy Wicked, Susie McMullen from Brume, and for the first time ever, Jamie McCathie (also from Brume). There was some guitar playing, some sharing of must-listen-to bands, a bit of banter, some righteous feminism, and as always, some submi...

Do not skip this one. Today's guest is Brett Morris, guitar player for Sub Pop Records weirdos Man Man and Mister Heavenly (w/members of Islands, Man Man, Modest Mouse, and The Shins). The Man Man Record Dream Hunting in the Valley of the In-Between was one of Jeff's favorite records in 2020, and he also shares a deep love of Mr. Bungle. Oh, and music would probably be considered his sid...

As usual, our talk covered ground...growing up feral in Florida, riding BMX, playing drums for Flor, recovering from mystery medical issues, bomb tuning, touring with previous guest Jem from DEAD, his writing process, and more.

In our month of experiments, we're trying something new again! This week we sit down with Jarom Bischoff, the promoter behind Salt Lake City's CrucialFest...a heavy music festival that's having it's 10th anniversary in 2021. Instead of listening to our typical blind submissions. we talked to Jarom about the origins of the festival, and then went through the 2021 lineup band by...

This week's episode is something different! Due to a scheduling snafu, JD and Jeff are solo, and running down Heavy Blog is Heavy's top 25 records of the first half of 2021. There is some familiar stuff on the list...and some brand new goodness (and weirdness). Strap in...one hour, 25 songs, no stopping. No guests, no merch table, no Bandcamp picks, no submissions, no fucks given. Heavy...

This week we sat down with Sarah and Mario from Spotlights, a band that is absolutely blowing up. From catching the ear of Aaron Harris and Chino Moreno with their demo, to getting signed by Ipecac and opening for one of the legendary Mr. Bungle shows at the beginning of 2020, they really are living Jeff's best life, and his envy was out for all to see! We talked about moving to Eugene, the B...
