Ed has been on Protonic Reversal with his old band Heads., but that was 4 years ago and this is Kino Motel! Different band, different genre. And now with Rosa! We got through a detailed breakdown for their new record Visions. Talk about Sea Shanties (!) and both musicians adjusting their playing style to make something new and unique. How the band come to be and how to present it live and a very detailed song by song of this incredible new record.

Bristol based Sugar Horse are purveyors of interesting heavy music, but it isn't exactly metal. They have a new one called The Grand Scheme of Things. Truth and Consequences, The live long after and the LIVE long after, thrash music and cassettes and the "live, laugh, love" of skeleton artwork.

We do a song by song breakdown of the new one, as well as lots of details, anecdotes and joke explanations of previous releases.

It's been a year and a half and over 100 episodes since Carl's last appearance for My Name Is Hell. Now it's a new record! Wasteland Baby. We talk a lot about legacy bands and artists taking risks, what records are palette cleansers. The relative unsustainable nature of being an artist in a big city. Carl and Christine's move to Rhode Island. And of course a track by track breakdown of the relatively personal not-quite-a-concept-record Wasteland Baby.

THANK is a band from Leeds, UK! We speak about decorum for wedding bands, how long opening bands should, or should not play, writing records collaboratively as opposed to during a pandemic, the compilation / introduction of Thankology, the cruel irony of not nailing a song called Do It Badly in the studio at first. A surprising amount of nu-metal discourse, Torture Cube, All of that and an in-depth song by song breakdown of their brand new record I Have a Physical Body that Can Be Harmed.

oh hey, half of the mighty chat pile returns to Protonic Reversal to talk about COOL WORLD. Their highly anticipated new record (yes, named after that pervy Bakshi movie!). As well as the nature of live performance, the bands' incredible arc since last appearance, following their own compass, using the performance platform to represent fellow travelers and expose people to awesome new bands, Roadburn, sweat, smoking at clubs and lots, lots more. Which 90s bands are discussed and what IS the deal with records that were super long in the cd era.

The band Bunuel has an awesome new album Mansuetude, but they are NOT a new band. It is their fourth! Which American audiences may not be aware of. American audiences are usually only aware of their singer. The wonderful Eugene Robinson (most famously of Oxbow). We talk all about Buñuel, future touring and the deep musicality of this impressive and striking record, as well as a speed round song by song.

The tables are turned on Conan Neutron in this: the 400th episode of Protonic Reversal! Randy Randall of the band No Age and the podcast Hyphenate with Randy Randall interviews CONAN all about the show, podcasting in general, touring and recording with Conan Neutron & the Secret Friends and lots, lots more.

BBGun, the zine. The endless allure of Bad Moon Rising by Sonic Youth, Pussy Galore and the not so hi-fi recording of Exile in Main Street. Jon Spencer, Hit-makers and otherwise. Lydia Lunch Retrovirus origin story. Wolfmanhattan Project, and working with Mick Collins and Kid Congo Powers, the Chrome Cranks! Bewitched! and so very much more. It is a long overdue return for Mr. Bob Bert. Who haven't been on for a full episode for 5 years. Yikes!

RACK is the new album by the Jesus Lizard. A real treat for us all, it sounds like what you hope it would sound like as well as pushing a bit forward as well. Also, the Jesus Lizard is playing! A lot. A lot of touring even. We speak about that, as well as guitar technique, songwriting, coming to a familiar and well regarded relentless live entity as one ages, and trying to stay true to your own compass. Great tidbits for songwriters and performers, as well as getting really in-depth on all of this NEW Jesus Lizard!

Dale Crover! One of rock's greatest drummers (Conan would know!), also is a great guitarist and songwriter and the Dale Crover Band has a new one called Glossolalia. We do a thorough track-by-track analysis of that excellent record, as well as talk about Tarantula Heart by Melvins, playing with Redd Kross on their recent tour and playing acoustic (!) as well as DJing before those sets. Matt Cameron and his recent ep. Plan D interludes and setlist choices and lots, lots more. West coast folks! Go see the shows people!
