Corridor Cast

Serge “Goon” (The Goons/Nervous Impulse) takes us through a little bit of DC punk history, including running a “flop house” (his words, not mine) for bands coming through.

I saw the reunited Goons playing a show with the legendary Dead Boys and it was the first time I’d seen a pit in ages! Keep the scene alive!

Stay tuned for tour stories and more.

Solitary Set hangs out to hash out their new album Low and Outside which was a year in the making.

We contemplate how one releases an album in this Year of our Lord 2017 and how being in a band changes as you age. Jason shares a great story about tricking his classmates into thinking he was in the Beach Boys.

If you like what you hear, catch the fellas at MT6 fest at Windup on November 18, 2017.

It’s fun times with Andy Shankman aka Jumpcuts! Stay tuned for EXCLUSIVE!!! acoustic versions of tracks from his excellent offering, “Fiber Optic Bondage.” Thanks for doing that, Andy.

We cover his transition from band to a solo act, supporting a tour and meeting the Pixies. He tells an amazing story about playing a show the day his wife gave birth (don’t worry, friends, he made it back in time.)

We also learn that the rose ice cream from my local Halal market kinda tastes like soap.

This episode is a slight change of pace because Baynard Woods of The Barnyard Sharks drops some serious reporting knowledge in addition to telling us about the band.

Learn how his reporting informs his songs, including “The Guns of Baltimore,” which traces the flow of drugs and guns in Baltimore City and the county.

We also talk about the promising nonprofit BINJ, an org that hopes to soon fund reporting projects including a drug beat, a gun beat, and pieces by friend of the show Eze Jackson. Fund raiser site here.

In the spirit of the Sharks — who play it fast and loose in genres, band members and emotional content — we’ll cover a lot of different ground in this one. BUCKLE UP!

This is a fun one! A love fest with Quattracenta and a joy to be a part of.

I fan girl out about the record, the bass tone, how the guitars work together and drum sounds. The band says such nice things to Andrea about her drumming that they almost cry.

Sarah reminds us of the healing power of music. Bonus: learn about Joan’s practice space renovations and Christian’s Eagles cover band!
