End On End

Power-pop mod meets hardcore in this beloved Dischord outlier of a release. It was a pleasure to lose myself in these candy coated hooks and non-stop propulsion. And don't get me started on the ridiculously well written lyrics. Adz joins me in the copilot seat once again and we speak with the band later in the episode. Strap in, this is a long ride!

Welcome to yet another EOE side-road episode! I promise to return to regular programming next episode, but I've been sitting on this great conversation for months and this seemed as good a time as any to share it. I had a blast talking with John Davis (QandNotU) author of the great new book on the history of DC fanzines, Keep Your Ear To The Ground. Hope you enjoy the talk as much as I did. N...

Consider this a EOE Special Report! In our first non-music podcast, I sit down with author/podcaster/educator Matthew Remski (Anti-Fascist Dad) to talk fascism and how to fight it. 

...And here's the second installment of our examination of Pass and Stow by Lungfish. Adz is back in the copilot seat and Paul Hutzler (whom roadied and road managed for the band) stops by to share some fascinating stories from his time with Lungfish. Close your eyes and open your third...  endonendpod@gmail.com

I'm always excited when a Lungfish release comes up on the ledger! Perhaps too excited...? Anyhow, this show I'm joined by Adz Clayton (Holiday) in the cohort chair and we go all the way down the wormhole on this album, and the band in general. Throw the year's top fives in the mix in the intro and you end ups with a ridiculously (even by EOE standards) long episode. Thus cleaving i...

On this EOE Sideroads (Patron picked) episode, we dive headfirst into the wild and wooly catalogue of Milwaukee, WI's own Die Kreuzen. In the copilot's chair today is Scott Sheridan. 

On today's episode we welcome a new group to the Dischord roster. Fan favorite Jeff Kaplan returns to help initiate Norman Mayer Group into the EOE family. We talk about the heavy elements, in both sound and lyrics, of these tracks and scrape the internet for the scraps we could find about their history. Then drummer/vocalist Kathy Sawhill joins the conversation to flesh out the band's e...

This episode Sonny Kay joins me to discuss the highly influential debut album by Slant 6. We had a great conversation and surprises abound!

Guy Picciotto .on Red Medicine and so. much more. 'Nuff said!

In the first of our two part exploration of perhaps Fugazi's best album, Scott Sheridan and I dig into our memory and also research the DNA of this bold departure and new chapter of the band. Stay tuned for the interview episode for this release coming soon...

I sure hope this one doesn't ruffle too many feathers. It's an honest and mostly appreciative, thoughtful appraisal of a highly regarded album that has aged remarkably well. Ken Smallwood is in the co-pilot seat this time and really brings his "A" game to the endeavor. Listen in as two very old friends talk well into the night about this recording. 

It was a blast to get one more chance to explore the dark, yet hopeful world of Ignition. My cohost this episode is return master of the mic, Scott Sheridan. Listen in as we go under the hood of this machine.

Anddddddddddddd, we're back! Sorry for the unplanned "hiatus", but now the show is back with a vengeance. This is the second Patron-chosen topic episode. The indomitable story of DC legends Kingface. In the copilot chair this one was my old friend Ken Smallwood. It was a great pleasure getting to hear stories of old Dischord house days, the Slinkees, Sevens and of course the origin...

It's always a pleasure to have the opportunity to talk about and to a band that deserved so much more acclaim than they received in their time active. Rain Like The Sound Of Trains is the perfect case in point. They were such a powerful and heartfelt group of individuals playing revolutionary music together, while also living together and attempting to live out their beliefs. This episode Sco...

Yes, we've already spoke about all these tracks in a couple of the earliest episodes, but this carries a differnt release number, so we get to do it all over again. Thank God it's some of the most inspiring and trail-blazing music the label has out out then! This time Ken Smallwood is my copilot and late in the show Ivor Hanson (drummer in the Faith) fills in lots of details about the Fa...

This episode Jeff and I  discuss the second (most elusive) release from Hoover. Later, singer/guitarist Joe McRedmond joins the conversation. I hope this one inspires some of you to search for this one out in the wilds.

It was a pleasure to talk about and to the Holy Rollers, regarding their third and final album. In the cohost chair this episode was the indefatigable Ken Smallwood. Enjoy!

This first Rain Like The Sound Of Trains 7" really made an impact when it first came out. It was a supergroup of sorts and caused some unlikely controversy in the punk scene. The message and sound of this group has aged incredibly well. Jeff Kaplan is bank in the copilot chair to discuss the record and the band's legacy. Then we're joined by Pete Chramiec, Joshua Larue and Dug Birdz...

Yet another unslanted opinion on yet another new band for Dischord this episode. Slant 6's introductory release, What Kind Of Monster. Greg Polard (Where It Went, Somthin' To Du) joins me for a look under the hood of this machine. Combustion ensues. 

This show we drop the needle on Holy Rollers mach two, specifically  the "Watching The Grass Grow/ Toy" 7". In the copilot seat today is the prolific and illustrious Greg Polard (Where It Went and Somethin' To Du podcasts). Later in the episode we are joined by guitarist/singer Marc Lambiotte and bassist Chris Bopst! Come and knock on our door...

To conclude our Scream streak, longtime cohost Jeff Kaplan returns for a chat about their first non-Dischord album, No More Censorship. This episode is the first Patron-selected episode. Every five shows, we will do a special Patron's Choice episode (and no, it doesn't need to be a Dischord or DC band). It was pure kismet that one of the very first suggestions was actually this record! A...

As we near the end of our run of Scream releases, Scott Sheridan and I talk about the stand-alone Fumble album. Was it ahead omits time? Dated? Another classic or a misstep? Listen and find out.

Continuing our Scream month with the CD compilation of Banging The Drum and Fumble. This episode I'm joined by the illustrious Ben Merlis and growling Greg Polard to geek out on the Scream team and also discuss the debatable merits of their last album before 2023. 

Greg Polard joins me this episode to discuss the first Scream CD, chock full of over 30 tracks! The conversation was infinitely fun and insightful. Listen in as we talk about why this is an all time classic and why it's important that Scream are Still Screaming to this day.

Well, as a wise man once said, another one bites the dust... This was a unique addition to the catalog, in that it's probably the first and last documentary film on Dischord. Ben Merlis took the copilot chair for this wild ride. We laughed, we cried, we scratched our heads in confusion (and much more)! Enjoy
