100 Words Or Less: The Podcast

What a cool looking number huh? I am excited to say that Cory Brandan, the vocalist of Norma Jean, is on the podcast today. We get in deep with his family life, building a career centered on music (at any cost) and never being comfortable. It’s a very introspective and revealing look at a person who has been doing this for quite some time. I love Norma Jean and hopefully you will after this chat (if you already don’t).

Holy wow! I can’t believe that the singer of The Bouncing Souls, Greg Antonni, is on the show today! If you don’t know who The Bouncing Souls are please check your pulse as they are probably one of the best punk bands around today and potentially of all time. Greg opens up to us about his life in and around New Jersey, the major label rush of the 90’s as well as his “kid music” project with his wife Play Date. It’s always refreshing to know that no matter how long you’ve been doing something, you can still be enthusiastic about the future and Greg is a shining example of that.

Tom Searle passed away this weekend after a two year battle with cancer. It destroyed me to hear this and I had to publish a VERY early episode I did with Tom and his brother Dan to show how much life Tom had inside of him and frankly, how much I loved the guy. Please listen, enjoy and tell someone close to you that you love them.

Hard work and hustle. That’s what I think of when I look at my friend, James Vitalo. He’s the vocalist of Backtrack and manager for the band Turnstile and a person who’s taken what he’s learned and built his life around it. We discuss how he was attached to one of the most traumatic events in my life, mischief and the grind of tour. James came ready to share and because of that, we have an incredible conversation.

Episode 219 - If heavy music is your thing, odds are that this man has had his hands on it. Brad Boatright is the talent behind the knobs at his studio, Audiosiege as well as the guitarist/vocalist of crust legends From Ashes Rise. We discuss his process of recording and mastering, the concept of “selling out” and being raised in the bible belt. Brad was very gracious with his time and I am proud to bring you this conversation.

Episode 218 - Luke Pate is the vocalist for the hardcore band Frameworks and is on the show this week. We dive deep into the city of Gainsville and their incredible indie music scene, unplanned “success” and the expectations that come with it as well as the connection to the real world when you are off tour and not living the day to day existence in the band. It’s a shorter chat, but definitely worth your time. Consider being a Bone Marrow donor, like me. Join the registry today.Try Soylent today and get 50% off of your first case, with a subscription.

Episode 217 - Do you like improv comedy? How about theatre? Well I love both of these things and was excited to speak to Lee Overtree, who is the creative director behind Story Pirates in New York City. His program takes stories written by kids and turns them into stage shows/radio plays. Lee also has a history within independent music and was influenced heavily by the DIY emo/punk scene. It’s what I like to call one of my favorite “secret punk” episodes in which a person who isn’t necessarily doing anything that you’d immediately define as punk, but under the surface is completely punk. We discuss how his life was changed by Jon Stewart (yes, THE John Stewart), making art for kids and the DIY mentality. Use our Amazon Affiliate Code to support the show!

One of the more introspective and interesting conversations on the podcast I have ever had with Andy Othling from Lowercase Noises. He is a one man band from Albuquerque, New Mexico and his music is beautiful, haunting and trance inducing. After getting to know him a bit, I knew he’d be a great guest for the show and he did not disappoint. We speak in depth about solitude, computer science and the creative process. I urge you to listen to this episode as we go down roads that I think many people would be able to relate with.

Episode 215 - Foundation was one of my favorite hardcore bands in recent years, so I was very much looking forward to speaking to Thomas Pearson, the vocalist of said band. We hopped on Skype one afternoon and had a great discussion about the Atlanta hardcore scene, the process of being a teacher and frankly, why independent music is the best. While I am sad the band is no longer, they left a great legacy in their recorded music. Listen and enjoy!

Episode 214 - Want to meet your new best mate? Listen to this chat we have with Eddy Brewerton who is the vocalist/guitarist for one of my favorite bands around now, Moose Blood.
