Finch was always a very mysterious band to me, I generally had no clue where they came from and if they were born out of any "scene" so to speak. In order to solve that mystery, I spoke to Daniel Wonacott, the bassist of the band (please excuse the fact I called him the guitarist in the intro of the episode), about those very mysteries. We discussed isolation, challenging their own fans as the band progressed and golf.

While Kevin was out on the West Coast scouting out some places for Topshelf Records to relocate, I was able to meet up and get to know him a bit more. Kevin runs Topshelf Records alongside one of his close friends, Seth. We discussed not concentrating on negativity, finding your role and competition amongst record labels. I found it to be extremely engaging and I hope you do as well.

This is a huge episode for me as Propagandhi is one of my favorite bands of all time. Chris and I discussed what it's like having academic papers written about your lyrics, nuance within one's life and being a parent. It got way more introspective than I thought it was going to be, but Chris was very open and ready to talk. He was one of the first people I wanted to speak to for the podcast, and 142 episodes later, we made it happen.

Greg Bennick is the vocalist from hardcore bands Trial and Between Earth & Sky as well as accomplished presenter and humanitarian. He's a jack of all trades and I was excited to speak to him about where he got his start performing, not having a day job and finding balance in a chaotic life. Greg has many life lessons to teach so pull up a chair and listen.

I had a very pleasurable chat with the lead vocalist/guitarist from Restorations, Jon Louden. He's a veteran of the Philly music scene and we discuss how he's learned from his past mistakes, stability in and out of a band and properly defining your own band.

THIS EPISODE BROUGHT TO YOU EXCLUSIVELY BY ENJOY THE RIDE RECORDS (www.enjoytheriderecords.com). On the show this week is the hardworking singer/songwriter Rocky Votolato. Many may remember his incredible band Waxwing or his solo career that he's been crafting for the past 10+ years. Rocky has some incredible stories about being raised in/around a biker gang, how to remain positive and the fight with your ego. It's an incredibly introspective conversation and one I was really glad to have with him.

Happy Holidays everyone! I wanted to get you this awesome bonus episode here with David Anthony, the digital manager over at The AV Club. For regular listeners, you will notice his voice as he occasionally contributes some records for us to discuss that he might not have the ability to write about on the site. I sit down with him to speak about how exactly he got started in his writing career, his background and what keeps him inspired. This episode is an absolute must listen for anyone interested in writing about music or frankly, how to express themselves.
