The Austin Young Show

Joining me in the studio today are the heart and soul of Market Zero, the riff-slinging machine himself, Joey Owens, and the  powerhouse, Justin Casey. Now, you fans know these guys weren't always rocking the Market Zero sound. We'll be throwing it back to their old stomping grounds with Uneasy Pilgrim and The Delzells – and let me tell you, that's some serious garage rock punk gold you won't wann...

The Infamists give me some insight into their own version of rock and roll. We also discuss the problems with "pay to play" promoters plaguing the live music industry. Of course, we discuss the history and progression of the band. The Infamists are a three-headed rattlesnake that purveys all forms of rock and roll. Driven by the blues and channeled through a power trio medium, the group has explor...

If you want new music that's heavy on the international SKA then this is the episode for you. It's a great episode to sit back and eat some "Tamales".

This episode, we're getting rowdy with the Dallas punks, Die Würst! Joining us are vocalist Sean, the fiery frontman with a voice that could shatter glass, his cousin Matt who lays down the thunderous basslines, and guitarist Jesse, the riff maestro who injects pure chaos into their sound. Die Würst have been making waves in the local scene, known for their electrifying live shows that morph from...

It's my favorite kind of episode. It's a ska episode. I had a conversation with Dustin and Sam from the highly energetic SKA band, Set the Tone. We also have two world-streaming song premiers from the band. As always, we go into the band's founding, inspirations, and past performances, and Sam has an extensive record of opening for some of the best ska bands in the industry. These two are incredib...

Bubba and I talk about why AC left the band and what they have in store for the future. We talk about band dynamics, relationships, how Bubba's best friend Joel has the healthiest relationship he's ever had, and, of course, how the band got its name.

We sit down to discuss how Nonstarter came to be, and that branched into discussions about audio engineering, past projects, and how Shaun has items sitting in the Punk Rock Museum in Las Vegas. Talking to these two made me realize how lucky we are in Dallas to have the talent we do. Tony, a long-time veteran of the punk band Fat By The Gallon, gave me permission to leak a never-before-heard song....

Dallas punk outfit, The Asshats, elbow their way into your ear holes for an episode that's equal parts raucous and introspective. From Alex's panic-stricken band naming story to their recording adventures. But amidst the mayhem, they get real about mental health and the dangers of drunk driving. Plus, Cameron gives us the insight into his life as a recording engineer and Alex amazes me with how po...

Hold onto your sides, folks, because The Effin' CrunchCrew and The Austin Young Show are back for Part 2, and the "effin' mumble jumble" is reaching epic proportions!

It's not all doom and gloom, everyone; I have the Dallas doom metal band Sharpy in the studio. Kevin and Dillan explain the band's style and origins.

Ah, Valentines Day. A day for awkward first dates, overpriced chocolates, and, apparently, falling head over heels in love... with ska. Brace yourselves, ska-natics, because we're about to rewind to that love-drunk day with the one and only Flip from Flip & The Combined Effort! Picture this: a microphone cradled in my nervous hands, a ska beat pulsing through the studio like a caffeine IV, and acr...

It's not every day you sit down with a band and one of the members says, "Hey, remember that time we smoked meth out of a lightbulb?". Well, that's what you get with the self-described Riot Girl New Era hardcore band. BOOF is the savior the hardcore genre needs. A fast and brutal sound that breaks through all the toxic masculinity and gives a voice to the voiceless. If you live in the southeast Un...

We play some of the best artists up for the Dallas Entertainment Awards. We also decide to crown the true champion in a Coke vs. Pepsi challenge. We bring in my mother, Lisa, to be an impartial administrator for the challenge. I also give an acceptance speech and a losing speech for the award categories I was nominated in (our show was prerecorded, so we have zero clue who won). My mom, who was al...

Finally some answers! Buckle up for a new episode featuring Toxic Madness that's as explosive as their live shows.

We've got riffs that are harder than a cheese grater...

With songs like "Dead Girls Know How to Party" and "Just Let It Die," but hey, who am I to tell you how to parent? I play two brand new tracks from Big Brown Bear.

Veronica and I discuss our traditions and white people's Christmas pasts. I get ridiculed for my awful Spanish. Veronica picks the most cliche answer for her all-time favorite gift, and I discuss how the toy companies and Jurassic Park left me jaded about the world.

I sit down with Aaron AC Capers "That Drummer Guy" from the pop-punk band Further North. We talk about what's next for FN and dive deep into the AC musical catalog (this dude is in every good band in DFW). He even discusses his former band Boxers Brain and why he wants a reunion.  This episode will always hold a place in my heart as a personal favorite. #PICKITUPDALLAS  Music By:  Spector 45- I Lo...
