Jack Martin and Mac Siegel from Off Brand are back and we’re here to complain about the Oklahoma City music scene and perhaps even hypothesize about what would make it better, even going so far as to suggest the logistics of a music union. This is all based on Mac’s hot take, and I certainly trust Mac and Jack’s expertise on this because I probably don’t know what the hell I’m talking about. Anywa...

Off Brand is a rock band in OKC, often describing themselves as the #worstbandinOKC, and I was happy to have Jack Martin and Mac Siegel from the band doing a double interview. This one gets dense, deep, and it’s pretty long. This conversation is notably different from their usual demeanor which is usually never serious, so I was glad to get a different side of them. You can find them on all the so...

I didn’t want to break up the (power) cycle of the Electric Pizza concerts, so here’s the third Power Cycle (Jonathan Edwards, Breck McGough, and myself) concert, which was on November 4th and titled “Remembrance”, inspired by November holidays.
