  • Jimmy P Brown II of Deliverance
    Chapter 129: "Apparently what happens in Mexico doesn't necessarily stay in Mexico" ...as read by Jimmy P Brown II of Deliverance

    Jimmy P Brown II brings it around again to discuss how Deliverance got the inspiration to record another album from a semi-sweet experience in Mexico. JPB2 explains the new album "The Subversive Kind" in track by track detail. We also discuss pancakes and how important they are in the recording process.

        • Josh Thieler of Slaves BC
          Chapter 128: "Lo, and I am really busy" ...as read by Josh Thieler of Slaves BC

          The long-awaited return of the handsomest man in music...Josh Thieler of Slaves BC. Josh tells us about the new upcoming Slaves BC album "Lo, and I am Burning" on March 16th . (Preorders are going up on March 2nd, I'll link ya below). Josh started a label called Fear And The Void Records and a PR company called CVRSED BREVTH (I can't figure out how to flip my "v" over but you get it.) Josh goes into how he got around not having label and PR support; he made some. Ultimate DIY finishing move. He mentions a lot of bands he is involved with but he sent me a clip for the band Deathcrawl on his label. This guy has a lot going on; just start clicking links. Always been a friend of the show, and quite frankly he is someone who is twelve years younger than me whom I respect and look to for inspiration. (Ok lemme explain the bathroom thing...no. Actually I won't; you draw your own conclusion.)

            • Matt Traxler of Steadfast Records
              Chapter 127: "SUPER IN LOVE WITH MUSIC" ... as read by Matt Traxler

              Matt's parent's moved to a blueberry farm at the same time he had his driver's license suspended. When he got his license back he dove headfirst into the local punk and hardcore scene. Matt joined Six Feet Deep and started Steadfast Records, the label that first signed the legendary Zao! Matt put the label to rest when Brandtson signed to Deep Elm but 17 years later, a convergence of events led him to resurrect the label. Matt recalls singing the words to Little Red Corvette as a kid and touring in a haunted van. (And yes, he has a photo credit in Focused's The Hope That Lies Within)

                  Chapter 126: "Paying Ohmage" ...as read by Chris Poland of Ohm (formerly of Megadeth, Damn The Machine)

                  Here is the second half of my conversation with Chris Poland. Chris and I continue our discussion of his unique path to where he is now. I have to be honest with you, I've done about 150 podcasts and this is the first one that made me cry. Chris tells for the first time what happened to Nick Menza the night of his passing. I have never been so riveted to a guest as I was for this. Turns out Nick Menza and I have something in common; I wanna go out playing the drums too. We cover some more Megadeth stories and sticky business stuff but that's where the interesting stories lie in waiting to be told. Chris thank you so much for being so transparent with this podcast.

                  Thanks so much again to Madison Berrones and James Smith for helping me get this interview.

                      Chapter 125: "ONE MORE SONG" ...as read by Chris Poland of Ohm (formerly Megadeth)

                      This is the first half of my conversation with guitarist Chris Poland. Chris played on the first two Megadeth albums "Killing Is My Business" and "Peace Sells...But Who's Buying". Yeah. That guy. Chris and I discuss his current business ventures, he walks us through his discography and tells an amazing story of what NOT to do when opening for Dream Theater. This guy has stories. Chris tells us about the modest apartment upgrade that came with Megaeth starting to take off and how he was asked to join. And what the hell is up with Todd Rundgren?

                      Thanks so much to Madison Berrones and James Smith for helping me land this interview.

                          Part two with Mr Ingram: Sean discusses business, being an entrepreneur with 25 employees, passion about the scene, his faith in God, and we finally hear from Sean about the "rumor" that Coalesce was going to sign to Solid State.

                            This week celebrated the 24th anniversary of one of my favorite bands: Coalesce. So who better to celebrate with then the man himself, vocalist Sean Ingram. Sean opens up about being a foster parent and turning his home into a BIGGER facility for helping kids in need. He tells a very personal story as to where the lyrics for "A Safe Place" came from and how personally his lyrics tie into the music of Coalesce. This is such a great conversation that I wanted it all up so we split it in half for ya. Enjoy and thank you Sean!

                                Chapter 122: "I don't think we're in rural Kentucky anymore" ...as read by Roy Culver of Nuclear Blast Records

                                Roy Culver. I found him. He wasn't exactly hiding...he wasn't exactly talking either. Roy was a Solid State employee back in the early 2000's and now has an executive job at Nuclear Blast Records. Why would we NOT want to hear what this guy has to say? If you like heavy music Roy has most likely been directly affiliated with at least one album in your collection. Roy discusses everything from his personal life to what newer bands on Nuclear Blast deserve a listen. I can't express how nice of a guy Roy has been to myself and Bryan. Stand up individuals deserve to be heard. Speaking of stand-up individuals, special thanks to Scott Hatch of Burnt Toast Vinyl for helping with co-hosting duties...and the beer. Thanks Roy, we love you, take care, Bye-bye.

                                        While his name might not be super familiar, Myk Porter's nearly 25 year discography touches on the early days of the Christian hardcore scene, Deep Elm's emo heyday, and the return of Steadfast Records! Bryan talks to Myk about an entire lifetime spent in bands. He produced Zao's All Else Failed, toured Japan with Copeland, and has been accused of selling out. Huge thanks to Myk taking the time and letting this be his very first podcast!
