FACS are back with a brand new record called Wish Defense. The last record Steve Albini (RIP) recorded, later finished by Sanford Parker and mixed by John Congleton. It's a little more austere and spare, but definitely FACS. It also features Johnathan Van Herik rejoining... who was in the original band. We do a song by song of that record, as well as discussion of all things 90 Day Men, including the Numero reissue and reunion. Disappears to FACS, Steve Shelley and so very much more.

This is an episode with two of the folks from the 1998 post-punk shoegazey band from San Diego! To Change the Shape of an Envelope is a well regarded record and Solid Brass has given it a wonderful 25 year anniversary release complete with new artwork by Sonny Kay. So how better to celebrate than to speak to Michelle (keyboards) and singer/frontman/loose cannon Russell White about old records, old times, and lots, lots more. It's a loose and hilarious episode with two folks from a great band!

That's right! It's the fantastic post-punk, punk rock, rock drummer who has played in MULTIPLE legendary bands. His newest band is the massively underrated Ghost Forest, who have a new-ish record. But you may know him from the amazing Laughing Hyenas, Mule, Denison-Kimball Trio and (for awhile.) The Jesus Lizard. Let's hear about all those bands as well as doing things with J.G. Thirlwell, Ed Roessler and the all the rest of it with a life full of fantastic rock.

The legendary Maryland/DC band has a reissue of their classic record Came by to Kill Me on Solid Brass. The first record to be written exclusively with Darren, who would later play in Office of Future Plans, Channels, Continuals and J. Robbins Band as well. A powerful live band that practiced 5 or 6 times a week and toured relentlessly, we get a rare window into a beloved band that existed in a time before the internet as we know it exists. Came by to Kill Me, recorded by J. Robbins is a great document of a the band, and is the first time it is available digitally. It's a song by song breakdown for a ripper band that were contemporaries with many Dischord faves.

Harriet the Spy has a wonderful reissue of Unfuckwithable, through Solid Brass. Jamie played the drums in that band, but is better known to most as the Impressario behind Earthquaker Devices. As well as the Party of Helicopters, Relaxer, etc. There is much talk of touring, revisiting older material, Ohio, rocking while aging, and all that. As well as, yes... quite a bit of gear talk. Yes, yes... hard to believe.

That's right, the desert rock legend himself has a new record with Brant Bjork Trio - Once Upon a Time in the Desert. In an all star band featuring Ryan Gut and Mario Lalli! So how about a floor up discussion, all the way from getting into punk rock, pots and pans, into present day. With stops along the formative early days, into Sons of Kyuss (and later Kyuss) and after. Solo records, bands, Stöner and lots more. A track by track breakthrough of Once Upon a Time in the Desert? You better believe it. This band is hitting the road hard, let's hear all about it.

It has been a long time since the Berlin based experimental duo has been on protonic reversal. There's a BEST OF the band (live in Napoli!), which also serves as a great introduction as well as other newish records. The whiplash of touring with Alexander's band Einstürzende Neubauten and then immediately doing hackedepicciotto. Soundtracks, At the Mountains of Madness, nomad life, musical discovery, touring on a budget and sometimes by train... and how not to not be completely annoyed by your musical and life partner that you are surrounded by almost the entire time.

Both Travis and Joe have been on the show a lot over the years. But this time they are raising funds for a Buddyhead documentary. A necessary salve for the lack of any kind of documentation for the entire mid-2000s world for one of the most irreverent websites to ever exist. Talk about that, scene documentation in general, movies that get it wrong and get it right and just general talk about DIY and things along those lines.

The guitarist for the fabulous band CNTS, with Matt Cronk, as well as Dead Cross with (Dave Lombardo and Mike Patton), finally comes on Protonic Reversal to talk about all things Retox, Rehab, Rock and Riff. Beating Cancer, outlasting COVID and getting one of the greatest singers and front men in rock to sing in your thrash band. Tis a great time!

Steve Moriarty wasn't just the drummer of the legendary band The Gits. He literally wrote the book on his bandmate and friend Mia Zapata. Whose life was cruelly cut short. A vital and impressive vocalist and artist on the verge of international rock stardom, the book tells Mia's story, shows the progress of her undeniable talent and her measure as a person and powerful figure in punk rock and beyond. Not a victim, an icon.

Frenching the Bully, Enter: The Conquering Chicken, Evil Stig (with Joan Jett) and so very much more.
