The Bürgerkrieg Productions "15 Minutes of Fame" podcast brings back Season I alumni, vocalist Steve of the Connecticut-based ska band Sgt. Scag. We discuss a possible candy-jingle that he'd like to create, I learn about they were thrown into the 1999 "Conan O’Brien College Band Search" (despite knowing the outcome), and we theorize about which cult probably had the best food options available for their devotees. Check out their tunes (and latest release) here: https://sgtscag.bandcamp.com/

Season III of the Bürgerkrieg Productions "15 Minutes of Fame" podcast continues with a threesome featuring 2/3 of the Canadian trio Deadwolff, Tommy and Bobby. I get the inside scoop on their Instagram segment "Talking Tapes," they share with me what it takes to be considered a "Canadian Staple" musically, and they tell me why horror films and metal/punk rock pair together so well. Check out the debut EP from Deadwolff here: https://deadwolff.bandcamp.com/album/deadwolff

Season III of the Bürgerkrieg Productions "15 Minutes of Fame" podcast kicks off with a chat featuring Ivan, the mastermind dark wave producer behind the LA-based Amor de Paris. We discuss weird tour memories from his past (yes, it gets strange), why the constant release of singles versus full-lengths, and what the music scene in California was like pre-pandemic. Check out the music of Amor de Paris here: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0qokO42jxGlhzBP9Z8OQ8q

We conclude Season 2 of the Bürgerkrieg Productions "15 Minutes of Fame" Podcast with an XL episode featuring beat-keeper Dougie Tangent of the Indiana-based power-pop trio, The Putz. We discuss everything "G.I. Joe." I mean, literally. We talk about "G.I. Joe" for basically an hour. There's also some Michael Bay hate thrown in for good measure. Check out the wonderful music from The Putz here: https://theputz.bandcamp.com/

The second-to-last episode of Season 2's Bürgerkrieg Productions "15 Minutes of Fame" Podcast features Tony, the Upstate NY-born mastermind/evil-genuis of the California-based indie-rock band, Broken Field Runner. Throughout the episode we talk about misconceptions about the California music scene, the worst places to dine while on the road touring (it's about what you'd expect), and I hear about the sketchiest place he and the band had to (attempt to) sleep following a show. Check out Broken Field Runner here: https://brokenfieldrunner.bandcamp.com/music

DD of the infamous Australian-punk band, The Thorazines joins me again for another Season 2 installment of the Bürgerkrieg Productions "15 Minutes of Fame" Podcast. We discuss the importance of the band Venom, have some much needed Britney Spears gossip time (and throw down on the most recent "Framing Britney Spears" documentary), and we chit-chat about his collaboration with the infamous Hayley Crusher. Check out that track and more here: https://thethorazines.bandcamp.com/

As Season 2 of of the Bürgerkrieg Productions "15 Minutes of Fame" Podcast nears the season finale, I had the pleasure to once again feature bass master Josh from the Albany-based surf band, The Jagaloons. We talk the reworking of famous TV theme songs to the tune of surf music, the joys of a well-crafted pop song, the 2021 New York Mets (and the Colorado Rockies), and my suspicions are confirmed on the meaning of a "Tijuana Sauna." Check out that track and more here: https://thejagaloons.bandcamp.com/music

We travel virtually back to Canada in this XL episode of the Bürgerkrieg Productions "15 Minutes of Fame" Podcast to chat with Danny, Curtis, and Paul from the Saskatchewan-based pop punk band, Hiding From Humans. Throughout the episode (which is the longest to-date), we talk about Canadian radio, make fun of Nickelback, jive about the pandemic recording process, I learn what the Regina music scene is like, and I learn a bit about the bands most memorable live-music experiences were. Check out the bands first EP here: https://hidingfromhumans.bandcamp.com/releases

We travel virtually to Europe in this episode of the Bürgerkrieg Productions "15 Minutes of Fame" Podcast to chat with Alberto, Luca, Stefano, and Francesco, members of the Italian punk band, Billycock. Throughout the episode we chat about how the lockdown has impacted the band, why they chose to sing songs in English versus their native language Italian, the challenges a band that sings all-original songs has getting a stage versus a cover band, and I get the inside scoop on some truly terrifying nightmares each of the members of the band has had. Check out the bands music here: https://billycock.bandcamp.com/    

As Season 2 of the Bürgerkrieg Productions "15 Minutes of Fame" Podcast nears completion, episode 27 features a conversation with the complete lineup of the Indiana-based sci-fi pop-punk trio, Covert Flops. Agents Adam, Chad and Billy chat covert musical influences, their take on the David Byrne and Brian Eno side projects (among others), what Brian Wilson live convert experiences consist of, we hash ideas on why the Ramones are such a timeless band, and we discuss the cinematic beauty that is "Halloween III: Season of the Witch."
