As The Story Grows

Shane Carroll of the Australian Facedown Records band For All Eternity joins the story. Shane tells us how it all got started, how they are the first Australian band on Facedown in 14 years, record breaking sales numbers and gargling with coca-cola.

Scott Mellinger and Russ Cogdell of Zao hang and talk about the almost finished album, film school, 80's toys, "to Christianity or not to Christianity", ceramic Unicrons, exclusive song title, a super heavy religeous discussion about perceptions on inerrant Biblical text. Here is where you officially...FINALLY get to hear where Zao is at. This is a long, deep and amazing chapter and we are proud to present it. Oh...and does anybody have a spare thundercats helmet?

Dude. Ben Sharp of Cloudkicker. I seriously can't believe how blessed I am with the guests Stephen and I have been able to get on this show. Ben Sharp is a bit tricky to book for a show. He's a commercial airline pilot so he's either totally home or totally not. I caught him at his new Pittsburgh home. Such great conversation. Ben Sharp took his show on the road with Intronaut. Ok wait, I mean his band WAS Intronaut. That's crazy enough, right? Intronaut is incredible...and Ben borrowed them for a tour. What a cool story!!! He talks a bit about his first, only, and as of now last (?) tour. What Ben Sharp is doing with Cloudkicker is the ultimate example of DIY. We respect that here at ATSG. Thanks to John Petkau for introducing me to Cloudkicker.

After some of the music stuff is resolved...we get deep. What a rewarding conversation. Ben is rad. He's full of love for his fellow man, including you. Take care. Bye bye.

Bruce Fitzhugh of Living Sacrifice and Alex Kenis (formally) of Becoming The Archetype join Trav to discuss MEGADETH!!! Today is the 25th Anniversary of Megadeth's album 'Rust In Peace" and we are celebrating with a Megadeth party. We covered 'Holy Wars...The Punishment Due". Just because. We talk all things Megadeth and even poke fun at some of it. But it's Megadeth. It is part of our bloodstreams.

This chapter of ATSG kicks off more than a Megadeth celebration. We are turning a corner. Below you will find links to all of our new neat stuff. We gots the youtube now. We started a Patreon account (in case Megadeth sues us). We have a podcast band camp page where these types of projects and exclusives will live. Stephen...let's not forget Stephen...he wasn't involved with this because he is working on a second branch of the podcast with special content. Seriously, ya'll...this ATSG is gonna be a 24/7 party.

Why? Well...you know. Bye-bye.

Bruce Fitzhugh of Living Sacrifice joins the story with many of his own stories. Ya'll ain't gunna believe this one. LOTS of music in this chapter. We discuss Mark Fields, Stryper, live Quicksand and Hum. Trav embarrasses himself with a story that Bruce can't even remember. Fitzhugh talks about what he's doing now at Manhead Merch. We discuss a lot of older Living Sacrifice, DJ, early albums...lots of old school Living Sacrifice fans will dig this stuff. Bruce Fitzhugh was heavily influenced by the DC scene and it pokes it's head in a lot of places you may not expect it. Bruce gets into the R.E.X. debacle and what lead Living Sacrifice to Solid State (...turns out Brandon Ebel may be a stalker.)

Then...the news we've been dying to drop on the audience: it turns out we are at war. A Holy War. Bruce Fitzhugh discusses...the punishment due. Just listen all the way to the end. It'll make sense. Dave Mustaine AND Bruce Fitzhugh both love you. Take care. Bye-bye.

Jamie Holmes is a self-made man. Jamie has been a cornerstone in the punk and indie Lehigh Valley PA scene as the owner of Double Decker Records. Double Decker started back in 96 and still going strong. Listen to how Jamie had do duck and weave his way to remain relevant for almost twenty years. There is so much to know, but it remains the same as every other story: the most important tool is flexibility. Jamie knows what he's doing. Then we are joined by his associates Ray Gurz and Chris Bickert. Ray is the leader of the band Tile as well as another called Bad American. (I shoved a Tile song in here for you somewhere...) Chris is not only the nicest guy ever, he's also Braid's tour manager (Don't believe me? Bob Nanna himself said so in Chapter 12.) Plus he brought donuts. These are the people in my neighborhood...in my neighborhood...in my neighborhood...but they're in your neighborhood now, too thanks to the magic of podcasting. Enjoy. (No donuts though...)

One more thing: Nate Allen, friend of the show, has a lil' rekkid coming out with his group Nate Allen And The Pac Away Dots. The album is called "Take Out The Trash" and it is available for pre-order right now. It's coming out on Sept 18th. Tell your friends. Nate's a good egg. Buy his album...link is below. Nate loves you. Take care. Bye-bye.
