New ep, who dis? We'll keep this short and sweet this week. Doug Walker from MONOLITH (not Monarch), Call of the Wild, and Alexandria Ocasia Nugent rules. We listened to and talked about a ton of music...to the point that we thought maybe JD fell asleep while we talked about fractions and pedals. But he didn't, Jeff had an aneurism (maybe) right up top though. This is a fun one. Monolith...

What a treat this week...coming at you from the outskirts of London, it's the one and only Pete Holland from Elephant Tree and Trippy Wicked. Elephant Tree put out one of Jeff and JDs favorite records of 2020...HABITS, which includes the song...SAILS. It's a beautiful and brilliant record, so we talked about it, their collaboration with producer Riley MacIntire art Church Studio, Elephan...

We're back! Did you miss us? We missed you...so today it's one episode, 2 guests. After a bit of technical difficulties and a jog/bike ride down the street to their apartment, the boys from Brooklyn prog/sludge (?) outfit Somnuri hopped on to regale us with many tales. We dive deep into what it sounds like when 2 drummers write metal, and what kind of animals start band practice at 11:00...

This week we got caught up with our good buddy Marc from Santa Cruz's own Doors To Know Where. They released a new record on 5/31 called Darkness Falls, and it's killer. We talk about recording the new record, working with Bob Balch from Fu Manchu, drinking beer, growing up in a musical surfing family that almost sounds like a Hollywood movie version of a Santa Cruz childhood, the Santa...

Feast your eyes and ears on a couple hours with Aaron Gray, the one man wrecking machine that is part Boston metal  musician, part booking agent, part Boston promoter and talent buyer for legendary Boston venues like The Middle East.  We go everywhere....even admitting to liking 311. Yup. It went there. Bands...this is a really important one to listen to, because Aaron has great wisdom if you want...

On this week's episode we travel down under to Australia for a super-sized music-filled episode with Jem from the band DEAD.

Oh man. This episode. We start off by giving you 2 hours of access to the mind of Jadd Shickler...one of the original folks bringing heavy stoner/doom rock and metal to the world with the founding of All That's Heavy and MetorCity Records in the Late 90s/2000s. Fast forward to 2021 and he's working at MagneticEye Records and Ripple Music handling various label operations, AR, and marketi...

This week it was our great pleasure to go (virtually) back to Sweden to talk to Martin and Martin from Domkraft.

Seeds is a brilliant record, and it's out in full...

Get ready to hear about Swedish music and culture in this fascinating chat with our first submission-turned-guest Max Malmer from Cavern Deep. If you’ve been following along, you heard us listen to Max’s band in episode 25 (the Return of the Susie) and we were blown away. Turns out Max is a prolific musician and producer from Umeå Sweden, a small town (100K) population in Norland (Northern Sweden)...

Whoooooo boy. You ready to get Santos'd? Doesn't matter. Do you shower with a PS4? Did Aaron Turner and his wife mail you a double-headed Barbie for your daughter? Have you ever taken a shit next to Oscar Isaacs? Did your dad participate in a gang war in Oakland? Have you been in the same room with Donald Trump and Sir Ben Kingsley? We did listen to music, so listen to that part too! Old...

What else can we say but welcome back Susie for our 6-month-aversary, and we went for it...for 3 and a half hours.

This week we bring you a lovely chat with JJ Koczan from The Obelisk, and his bird....birdy? We dug into his involvement in the heavy music scene...how he got started as a journalist, why he runs the Obelisk as largely a one-man show, how to catch the attention of journalists and bloggers (don't start an e-mail to JJ with "Hey guys!", and how he got involved in editing the Roadburn...

What a delight this episode is...to finally sit down and chat with the man who created our theme music! Francis is a composer, player, engineer, producer, YouTuber, streamer, creator, and TEACHER. He has all the hats, and despite the pandemic and a pulmonary embolism that could have killed him, he had an amazing year as a creator in 2020, with major music outlets heaping praise on his work as Old...

What could be a more appropriate for a Valentine's Day episode than a band that is also a couple? This week we talked to Zachary Livingston and Sarah Pendleton of Asphodel Wine. Their story is a heavy metal love story...they met on tour when both Minsk (Zach's Band) and Subrosa (Sarah's band) were supporting Cult of Luna! We cover lots of topics...the pandemic, long distance relatio...

Oh man...so excited about this one. We spent time chatting with Jordan Olds, the brains? behind Two Minutes To Late Night.

Jordan spent the pandemic organizing an incredible group of "Bedroom Covers"...underground musicians covering some of their favorite songs and artists. Well it was undergroun...

This week we sat down and chatted/listened to music with frontman Alex Petralia of East Bay noise rock's Nopes. They released a new record via Magnetic Eye on January 29th 2021 and it's a banger, with some of the best song titles in music history ("Amber is the Color of Your Alert" is our personal favorite). Our talk covered a bunch of topics, but frequently came back to the ea...

Well, there aren’t enough catchy sayings for this one. We really hit the ground running this week! Even before we started recording,...

This week’s episode is a real treat, featuring Jeff’s friend, and engineer/mixer/producer on both KOOK records Chris Hughes.

We’ve actually already done a (semi) blind listen of Chris’ solo project Silent Type on the Billy Goate episode, and he talks about moving to LA and launching...

This week is a real treat as we welcome one of the true heroes off modern heavy music. Billy has the longest and most illustrious engineering and production resumes in the world, and has also spent time playing in some incredible bands (played bass in the Melvins). He has incredible knowledge, and from spending time in the studio with him, stories (and puns) for days. We talked to Billy about what...

This week we bring you a legendary chat/listen with a legendary NYC hardcore pioneer, Armand Majidi, drummer for Sick of it All.
