100 Words Or Less: The Podcast

Mike Hranica from The Devil Wears Prada joins me on the podcast today. I have always been fascinated by this band from their meteoric rise to capture the attention of the early 2000's metalcore/Christian scenes and moving quickly onto the Warped Tour stages across the country...the band definitely always had something to say. Now, heading into the bands 16th year of existence, they keep pushing their comfort zones and evolving. Mike and I discuss his process of writing a book, detaching his ego from his position in the band and so much more. Enjoy!

Sensefield is an amazing band. They were huge in my early years of understanding that I could indeed listen to music that wasn't just screaming at me. I had the opportunity to bring on Chris Evanson the guitarist of the band on the podcast to discuss their "lost" record on Warner Brothers, his exposure to South Bay punk and the idea of them being a "bridge" band. Listen and enjoy!

Let's talk about a cool new band okay? I fell in love with Teenage Wrist in 2018 when they dropped their first LP called "Chrome Neon Jesus" on my unsuspecting ears and it's this weird combo of Failure/Hum/Hoobastank (no joking) but simply put it just rocks. They just dropped a new heater called "Earth Is A Black Hole" and I had to have someone in the band on the show. Cue Marshall Gallagher and we dive deep into the bands history, his life on the road with 3OH3! (yes, that one) and growing up in the Denver suburbs. Even if you've never heard the band, you will find something to enjoy in this discussion.

Boy, this chat was a treat. Vince Averill is the vocalist for Cross Control and one of the co-hosts of We Watch Wrestling Podcast but his roots in punk/hardcore go deep with him putting out the first Grade 7" as well as the classic Ottawa/Jihad split 12" (a classic in my book). I found out this info all in short order so I had to have him on the show. We go deep on Detroit hardcore, DIY worlds colliding and the world of stand up comedy. Have fun!

The core is strong in this one. I have Jason Stewart, one of the co-hosts from the prolific podcast How Long Gone. He also is a DJ operating under the moniker of "Them Jeans" as well as a man in the culinary scene working with a ton of different brands. In short, he's a cool dude. What makes him even cooler is our shared history within the OC hardcore scene and the deep threads that he ties back to being exposed to the DIY music community. We discuss the OC core, Del Taco marketing and his life as a DJ. A lot of joking in this particular episode but we go places. Enjoy!

There Were Wires. Many of you probably never checked the band out when they were active and playing shows but, now is your chance to get familiar. Jaime Mason was the vocalist of the dark hardcore/punk/metal band from the Northeast (specifically the Martha's Vineyard hardcore scene...which is a hilarious thing to type) and has just recently re-released their awesome EP "Somnambulists" on the re-launched Iodine Recordings. We discuss his time in the band, working in the restaurant industry and why resurrecting the band now made sense. Enjoy!

So stoked to talk to Curtis Running Rabbit Lefthand who is a member of the Blackfoot tribe located in and around the Calgary, Alberta area in Canada. He's one of the founders of the Wild Rose Hardcore Festival as well as working with the IRIM organization to get members of the Indiginous community with the music industry as a whole. His POV is very interesting and enlightening and as a hardcore kid, you love to see the hustle and work to highlight this important part of our scene. We discuss his introduction to heavy music, working to build a community and so much more. Dive in and learn a thing or two, I know I did.

As you grow older, your musical taste changes and evolves and I for one, welcome it. You don't have to listen to aggressive music all day, every day. Of course, you don't need me to tell you that but the past few years I have gotten really into dreamy soundscapes and our guest this week creates those in spades. His name is Jamison Isaak and plays under the moniker Teen Daze. I had a sneaking suspicion that he had a connection to punk/hardcore/DIY and boy, was I right. We get in deep with his life in rural Canada, the importance of Much Music, melodic hardcore and so much more. Trust me, you'll enjoy this convo even if you aren't familiar with his music.

Oh boy, got a great one this week for you with the So Cal hardcore legend (my words, not his) Joe Nelson. He's the original vocalist of Ignite, road dog for bands like Quicksand, Insted and more. He also played in bands like The Killing Flame and is gearing up to release a new LP from another one of his musical projects, Triggerman. He is also responsible for launching Trust Records, which is a great re-issue label that is making sure some seminal records don't go out of print and are widely available for all. We discuss his time on the road with bands, the legacy of OC hardcore and why he chose to start this label. Dive in and enjoy!

I love David Farrier. His documentary Tickled was one of the most captivating and bizarre stories I have ever seen put to film and from then I just seemed to encounter his work across the web. Fast forward a few years later and our paths crossed when friend (and previous guest of the show, Aaron Harris from Isis) connected us over email and then, it all came together. I had to have him on the pod to discuss his love of music, connection to subcultures and film making. Listen and enjoy!
