Bleachmouth Postscript

"Apparently, I'm buying everything"

This is Part 2 of my conversation with my buddy Matt Sorg. We talk about a lot of music, but go deep on Alice Cooper and Voivod as well as Metallica, Mercyful Fate and of course KISS. It’s a fun and long conversation that was way overdue!

Since the release of this episode, Ringworm has released a new album on Nuclear Blast, titled "Seeing Through Fire". It is a great record and is further proof of my assertion that Ringworm is the most consistently great band from Cleveland.

"He's like a hillbilly Hulk Hogan"

"An unhealthy obsession with Tomas Lindberg"

Jason Sparkes is the guitarist for the Cleveland based hardcore band Soul Charge, as well as Run Devil Run and is an all around nice guy. He originally hails from Newark, Ohio where he first became involved in music. We talk about his influences and dance around a long, boring story to be told in another place and at another time. As the kids say, “we’re dusty” and talk about the differences between punk, hardcore and metal. Spoiler alert: We ultimately come to the conclusion that none of it matters. Listen anyway because it is a fun conversation.

Some of the bands we hit: Sick of it All, Testament, Skitsystem, Entombed, Metallica, Bad Brains, Beyond, Burn, Inside Out, Danny Elfman, Born Against, Minor Threat, Sepultura, and DRI.

Soul Charge have a new record due out very soon, but have their promo titled "Promo MMXXIII" up now. You can check it out here- soulchargehxc.bandcamp.com

"Two Verbose Dudes"

This was the VERY FIRST EPISODE of Bleachmouth Postscript! It featured Jason Luchka, bassist of Deathcrawl, Supercorrupter, and former program director of the legendary radio station V-Rock. Jason also keeps up a really great music blog (also named Supercorrupter) and has released a compilation/4-split Lp called "Ohio Is Not All Bad". 

It's a rough, but fun listen as you can hear me trying to sort out how to do a podcast and we cover a lot of ground this episode.

Bands/artists you’ll hear about in this episode:Clutch, Neurosis, Skinny Puppy, Warzone, Keelhaul, False Hope, Munly Lee Lewis and the Harlots, Sixteen Horsepower, Lozenge and Deadguy.

"The phrase 'pop punk' is a slur"

Elyse an I have been pals for a bit and I always love talking music with her. She has depth of knowledge and listens to a wide variety of music – but we love talking metal.
