100 Words Or Less: The Podcast

Boy, this chat was a treat. Vince Averill is the vocalist for Cross Control and one of the co-hosts of We Watch Wrestling Podcast but his roots in punk/hardcore go deep with him putting out the first Grade 7" as well as the classic Ottawa/Jihad split 12" (a classic in my book). I found out this info all in short order so I had to have him on the show. We go deep on Detroit hardcore, DIY worlds col...

The core is strong in this one. I have Jason Stewart, one of the co-hosts from the prolific podcast How Long Gone . He also is a DJ operating under the moniker of " Them Jeans " as well as a man in the culinary scene working with a ton of different brands. In short, he's a cool dude. What makes him even cooler is our shared history within the OC hardcore scene and the deep threads that he ties bac...

There Were Wires . Many of you probably never checked the band out when they were active and playing shows but, now is your chance to get familiar. Jaime Mason was the vocalist of the dark hardcore/punk/metal band from the Northeast (specifically the Martha's Vineyard hardcore scene...which is a hilarious thing to type) and has just recently re-released their awesome EP " Somnambulists " on the re...

So stoked to talk to Curtis Running Rabbit Lefthand who is a member of the Blackfoot tribe located in and around the Calgary, Alberta area in Canada. He's one of the founders of the Wild Rose Hardcore Festival as well as working with the IRIM organization to get members of the Indiginous community with the music industry as a whole. His POV is very interesting and enlightening and as a hardcore ki...

As you grow older, your musical taste changes and evolves and I for one, welcome it. You don't have to listen to aggressive music all day, every day. Of course, you don't need me to tell you that but the past few years I have gotten really into dreamy soundscapes and our guest this week creates those in spades. His name is Jamison Isaak and plays under the moniker Teen Daze . I had a sneaking susp...

Oh boy, got a great one this week for you with the So Cal hardcore legend (my words, not his) Joe Nelson. He's the original vocalist of Ignite, road dog for bands like Quicksand, Insted and more. He also played in bands like The Killing Flame and is gearing up to release a new LP from another one of his musical projects, Triggerman . He is also responsible for launching Trust Records , which is a...

I love David Farrier. His documentary Tickled was one of the most captivating and bizarre stories I have ever seen put to film and from then I just seemed to encounter his work across the web. Fast forward a few years later and our paths crossed when friend (and previous guest of the show, Aaron Harris from Isis ) connected us over email and then, it all came together. I had to have him on the pod...

It's good to admit when you are wrong and I did that with Dylan on this weeks episode. I wrote off Cloud Nothings for no reason beyond my own personal misconceptions and boy, that was silly. They are a great band and I had to have Dylan Baldi, the lead singer/brainchild, from Cloud Nothings to discuss many things including life in Cleveland, libraries and evolving your sound over time. Get into it...

Sludge metal/doom/stoner...whatever you want to call them, Eyehategod is a completely unique and incredible band which is why I was happy to throw open the podcast studio doors (aka the internet) and invite the vocalist, Mike Williams in for a chat. We discuss nihilism within the bands music, how his reputation sometimes precedes him and living for today. It's a great discussion and hope you enjoy...

Podcasts are cool and today I have the host of one of my favorite podcasts around, The Memory Palace , Nate Dimeo on the show. I knew he had a connection to punk and hardcore, but after our conversation it's WAYYYYYY deeper than I could have ever imagined. We discuss pursuing art as a career, Ebullition Records and being a full time podcaster. Listen and learn! Learn more about your ad-choices at...

Full Of Hell rules. Dylan Walker is a nice human and we made some podcast magic here. I was stoked to bring Dylan on and discuss his upbringing in rural Pennsylvania, the importance of Hydrahead Records and living life in van (and being happy about it)! Let's do this!

It's Small Brown Bike time! I love this band and saw them many times in the early 2000's (and Mike was actually one of the first interviews I ever did when I was writing for zines, remember those?) and fell in love with the band. They've subsequently released more amazing music and been active here and there when shows were a thing. Mike had been on my list for some time to have on the show, and w...

Let's get aggressive. Chase Mason is the vocalist for the punishing desert band, Gatecreeper (who just released an absolute BANGER of a record called " An Unexpected Reality ") and is a great dude. We discuss him growing up in Arizona, his recovery journey through addiction and his wide ranging taste in music. Let's GOOOOO!

A little bit left of center guest but a great one nonetheless is Emily Gullickson who has made her life by exploring her passion of horse racing and betting. I discovered her through a podcast called "Gamblers" where in she tells her story but most interestingly, speaks about her history in punk/hardcore. I reached out to her to find out more and had her come onto the show. We dove deep into a var...

Man, do I have a treat for you. This week we have Pete Appleby who played in Count Me Out and Renee Heartfelt , both of them who were incredibly important bands to me (and many others). We dig in with Pete to discuss how both bands may have been a few years too "early", the trials and tribulations with the business side of music and his life as a dentist now. Enjoy! Listen to the PunkRockMBA Podca...

If you haven't heard of Spanish Love Songs, you my friend...are in for a treat. Their latest LP " Brave Faces Everyone " was one of my favorites of last year and I wanted to bring Dylan (the lead vocalist/guitarist) on the show to discuss their rise in popularity in Europe, comparing the movie/music industry and being a contrarian by nature. Listen and enjoy! Learn more about your ad-choices at ht...

I love Thou. This is a band that took awhile for me to grab onto but once I did (recently mind you) it's taken hold and won't let go. I had to have Bryan, the vocalist, on the show to punish him about my obsession. We dove into his metal core roots, life in Louisiana and the DIY spirit that has permeated his life.

I am honored to have on a great human and thoughtful music critic, author, podcast host and all around wordsmith, Hanif Abdurraqib . I felt compelled to reach out to him after loving his season of the incredible music podcast, Lost Notes , as I knew he had connections to our beautiful DIY punk/hardcore scene. We dive in to his life in Columbus, remembering to be a fan of music (as a critic) and th...

My friend Tim Riley from Souvenirs is on the podcast this week on the heels of the release of their newest LP called " Love For the Lack Of It ", released by Other People Records. We roll up our sleeves and get into being welcoming, balancing creativity with "real life" and his battle with rheumatoid arthritis. It's quite a journey, so enjoy!

I love the feeling of discovering new music, even when a band isn't technically "new" and Svalbard , did just that for me this year. I had to have Serena on the show, so we made it happen. Their new LP "When I Die, Will I Get Better" blew me away so Serena and I discuss that, the UK press, being an outsider and of course, roller coasters. Dive in and find out more about your new favorite band. Lea...

Turning Point. What a legendary band and I had the chance to speak to Jay Laughlin, who played guitar in the band as well as Godspeed (highly overlooked post-Turning Point emo band) and his current band, Honey (a rad metal band). We discuss how he views his musical legacy, how much it cost them to record "It's Always Darkest Before the Dawn" and being creative at all costs. Jay is a lifer and I am...

Supporting your local scene is an important thing for ANY type of music, especially DIY punk/hardcore. Andy Franchere is an embodiment of that. He sang for the band Diehard Youth and currently plays in Ill Communication but more importantly, he is instrumental in encouraging his local scene. Andy's story may sound familiar because you most likely know someone like him, which is why I am glad to fe...

As he makes his podcast rounds, Aaron Marshall from Intervals stops by the show to talk about how the heck an instrumental metal band got so popular. We discuss in depth his decision to release his own records and maintain control, slow growth and the idea of turning his passion for music into an actual career. It's a deep dive into the business side of things but also an insightful look at the cr...
