Woodfir stop in!

The noisy indie rockers (post-punkers might be better? Writing about music is hard …) talk about how they get their distinct sound. There’s no bass, but it feels like there’s a bass! Witchcraft.

There are several big ideas in the podcast, so if you can draw a moose, get in touch.

Come out to their Oct. 13 show at Windup Space!

NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH LIFE TRANSITION!

Mat Leffler-Schulman from Mobtown Studios will be packing up the fam and heading to Spain for a year!

While the physical Charles St. location will soon be bereft of life, an ex-studio, Mat will keep doing audio work and plans to freelance in other studios when he comes back.

What are his favorite Mobtown memories? What does the future hold? Take a listen and find out.

Sabbath and Lungfish influenced groovers Keeve and John from The Ward let me crash their practice space!

We talked a lot about what it means to be in a band when you’re no longer a teenager and have kids and a real job. Keeve shares a lovely story of seeing his son play at Ottobar and showing the youngster a poster of Keeve’s old band hanging in the club.

John talks about what it was like playing in a band for the first time at 48, and how it quickly became an important outlet.

Ten years is a long time and an eternity for a band.

Lushfarm stand the test of time and are gearing up to celebrate that milestone with an anniversary show and record release Sept. 16 at the Crown.

We discuss that new album Thoughts and Prayers, the band’s humble roots at Don Pablo’s and Binney’s run-ins with the likes of Jimmi Haha and the Good Charlotte guys.

BONUS CONTENT!!! Pat Benatar answers the question I pose to all guests: What advice would you give a younger artist or yourself when you were younger? Check out the Frederick News-Post’s 72 Hours for more on that interview.

Take one part jazz, one part hip-hop, pour over ice-cold flow, shake until you sweat and you have Soul Cannon.

Eze Jackson, the group’s emcee, talks about putting his solo act on hold in order to play with the band, being raised to be an activist and his work reporting with the Real News Network.

We get a little heavy, talking about facing racism while touring Boston and Eze’s journey out of homophobia to become a leader of the marriage equality movement in Maryland. But we also talk staying positive, no matter what.
