The 110 Podcast

Not to be confused with the Vermont-based The Apollos featured in episode 52 , these Apollos are just a couple of towns over and they remind me of INXS. That’s a good thing, trust me…I’m old. I’m featuring “Ready Or Not” for its great build-up and guitar tone. Check ’em out. https://open.spotify.com/track/4F6nIkYEVeR5BeZwkwUYxd?si=db997b3a52644f39 Artist&#...

Hope you’re ready because I’m turning up the heat this week with Crash Your Car’s “Tearing Down Your Walls”. It’s a very mellow, smooth, relaxing track featuring my favorite, horns. These guys sound even better live, so be sure to catch one of their shows. https://open.spotify.com/track/3pQXbXjJ6LNTWl4LYI0xJT?si=ba6dc70bd8f64bf9 Artist’s Links Instagram &#...

If you randomly came across Daisy Dell you might think they’re from the late 60’s/early 70’s, nestled right along with The Mamas & the Papas, Jefferson Airplane, and Cream with a little sprinkle of Credence. They have a great retro psychedelic sound, with fantastic jammy musical breakdowns. The track, “Love In My Pockets” is a bit of an outlier on their 2023 self-...

I’m not a professional, but “Coral Blue” by The Drained is a certified jam. It tells a pretty funny story, let me know if you figure it out on your own. The band has a few tracks on Spotify, make yourself a playlist and enjoy! https://open.spotify.com/track/2MJ8gkF8U9DTjD2aAXYBgi?si=10a80e228353436a Artist’s Links Instagram | Bandcamp | Website Contact Me: Deefur...

“Garage Rock” is the opening track off The Dropkix’s 2019 self-titled debut, it hooked me right off the bat! The entire album is an excellent energy source of motivation for your next workout. Give them a listen. https://open.spotify.com/track/1Pkd9WL3cDHQIaMDFXMIuT?si=78efbe8f306f4391 Artist’s Links Instagram | Website | YouTube Contact Me: Deefur E.Y.P. x 110 Po...

I have loved old Irish folk songs ever since the first time I saw Glen Hansard bring a bunch of people on stage (Chris O’Dowd among them) and do a version of “The Auld Triangle.” It was a given I’d enjoy The Provos, specifically this week’s song, “A Ship with no Rigging.” I hope to see them live soon, keep an eye on their socials so you can join me. https:...

A go-to diss of mine is calling someone a mama’s boy, so when I came across The Mama’s Boys on a flyer for a show they were playing with Eagle Noise , I knew I had to check them out. “Golden Monkey” gives me some serious grunge vibes with its heavy lyrics and vocals that remind me of Andy Wood. Hope you dig it as much as I do. https://open.spotify.com/track/72Re2toywaBybMu8...

I love avocados! I grew up with an avocado tree in my backyard. I grow avocado trees in my kitchen. I drive an hour and a half to the Avocado Festival every year. So I knew I had to check out The Smashed Avocados when they came up on Spotify. Glad I did, “My Name is Jim” is a banger, everything I love in a song. Hope it gets stuck in your head. https://open.spotify.com/track/5emZ7x5W8P...

This week I’m sharing “Bed of Ashes” by Seattle-based Drea & the Marilyns, off her 2023 release Sad songs you can dance to. It has horns! What more could you ask for? https://open.spotify.com/track/0hjHG0ClVox0aZbBcgxS8E?si=973f16af86bf4f0f Artist’s Links Instagram Contact Me: Deefur E.Y.P. x 110 Pod Playlist , updated weekly by Ed of Expand Your Playlist for your liste...

I can’t remember how I found these guys, there are a few interesting connections to other bands and even the great Beyond…or maybe it was just the algorithm. The Counter Minds have a ton of great punk rock, surf rock, and garage rock influenced tracks, I went with the live version of “I Don’t Know Why”, hope you like it. This one’s for Nick. https://open.spotify...

I promised you something rockin’ and I’m delivering on that promise thanks to Madima’s super upbeat and punchy “Name The Price”. It’s a great song to drive to with the windows down and the volume all the way up. Be sure to check out her entire catalog, make yourself a playlist in chronological order to experience the growth and full breadth of her work. https://...

I was so close to seeing Catammonia live when they played with Velodrone at Genghis Cohen…what is it with bands that like cats? Should I trade in my dogs? I digress, this week I’m sharing “Float”, it’s a great driving song off their self-titled EP. Hope you dig it. https://open.spotify.com/track/64woEEUCKnk30QqmNbDQBO?si=8050013dcb074dd9 Artist’s Links Instagram...

I found Dead by Sunday thanks to my new 110 Pod lifehack, following small venues and checking out their flyers for bands with less than 1000 listens on Spotify. If you’ve been listening for a while you know I love a catchy band name, this one reminded me of Dead Sara and World Without Sundays. I chose the song “Reds” because it builds to a pretty rocking climax. Hope you like it,...

I love misheard lyrics, this week’s song, “The Call” by TGX, gave me a pretty hilarious dose. In addition to that, it’s also a dark, turbulent, break-up song, hope you enjoy it. https://open.spotify.com/track/4zAoMIQAHIl1endavjQf2I?si=828bc1ac49594bea Artist’s Links Instagram | YouTube | Website Contact Me: Deefur E.Y.P. x 110 Pod Playlist , updated weekly by Ed of Expand Your Play...

I came across Left Out, the best-kept secret in Columbus, OH, thanks to the Spotify algorithm. They’re a self-described sad girl indie pop band with a fantastic debut album, Learn to Walk . I’m featuring the song “I Will Be Okay” it’s very mellow but builds to a rockin’ finish, hope you dig it. https://open.spotify.com/track/5akRHYWf70BNUHk0HEf2KJ?si=cfa336eab8f...

I’m going super local this week with Hollow Drivers from Whittier, CA. My ex-co-worker introduced me to them and it was the right song/band at the right time. I’m featuring “Lemonade” off their 2023 self-title album. https://open.spotify.com/track/7BNkmFCJGzF0htsEIVawJG?si=0b4941e9a2784311 Artist’s Links Instagram | Linktree Contact Me: Deefur E.Y.P. x 110 Pod Pl...

Special shout out this week to Banana Cakes for recommending this week’s band, Nifegun—a rare exception, so there is no need for more. Nifegun’s album, Closer to Nowhere is a great driving soundtrack. I went through the whole thing multiple times, it goes by fast. I opted for the opening track, “Vivid”, which features some fun vocalizations that are great to sing a long to....

I’ve been sitting on Eagle Noise for way too long. I was waiting for their new album, This Machine (don’t sleep on it) to drop, but who was I kidding? It was always going to be “Service”. I feel this song deep in my pansa, gets me in my feels. Hope it makes you feel something too. Also, yay for not caring what people think. https://open.spotify.com/track/0HCozA8VDElWGF5fwTY...

I’m unsure how I came across Magenta Moon, but I’m glad I did. I’ve been playing a lot of heavy stuff lately and needed to lighten the mood with some feel-good songs. Their music came at precisely the right time. I went with “I’m Here” but you should check out all their music. https://open.spotify.com/track/7MgmlNQ96L2KlY8JzXUXj1?si=cd9b27f29317425d Artist&#8217...

The Dancing Skeletons are the total package, from the band name, to the song title, to the album artwork, it’s all there. This week’s track, “Spooky Ghosts & Paper Masks” had me shaking my hips. Every song has a very unique sound, be sure to check out all their music. https://open.spotify.com/track/1hMUiKPsRgEoZeEEX0UUKy?si=bb0ded54b20c478b Artist’s Links Website...

I stumbled across The Apollos while searching for a different The Apollos and I’m glad I did. I loved the jazzy, troubled situation that is “Cold Was The Night”. This song is the total package, complete with what sounds like an egg shaker and hand claps! Hope it gets you clapping along too. https://open.spotify.com/track/2eB4oNlYewZtfTzqB98nY5?si=bd86bccbcd864f59 Artist’s L...

I came across The Hags at Fusion Fest 3 in Garden Grove, I was there for show-favorites Rome Apart, and arrived a little early to catch the second half of The Hags’ set. They’re a great live band, I look forward to seeing them again soon. I’m sharing their song “Lady Lucifer” a very sexy, psychedelic, surf rock tune. Picture a steamy scene between Nadja and Lazlo of W...

If it’s good enough for Batman and Robin, it’s good enough for Villains (and me)! I found these guys at bassist Aaron’s birthday show at Border X Brewing in Bell. I was there to see 110 Pod veterans, Eastside Agents . Villains put on a great show and I’ve been cleaning the house to their rockin’ tunes ever since. Give them a listen. https://open.spotify.com/track/5xoz...

I met Gabe of Dancing Tommy at the Folk Music Center open mic in Claremont over a year ago. I had been waiting for new music to drop and just forgot—sorry! Their latest album, Pocket Change , was released back in January. It gave me Rusted Root vibes, which I love. I went with the song “Waiting On You” but it’s a great album from start to finish, be sure to check it out. https://...

I want to introduce everyone to my new bestie, Grace Mattes, she has excellent taste in TV series. Her song “Priest” is about one of my favorites, Fleabag . Be sure to check out her EP, Rivers , and follow her on Instagram so you don’t miss her live performances and new music. https://open.spotify.com/track/5H7T97CXekiJDWjs9sQ3Yr?si=d316c36666af4fe1 Artist’s Links Instagram...
