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!

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!

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 the process of writing. LETS GO!

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.

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 sure glad he's put out all of the music he has.

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 feature this discussion with him. We discuss his life as a firefighter, growing a scene and knowing your limits. Even though you may not know his bands, Andy's story will ring true to many of you.
