Darryl Talks To Bands

I caught up with Barry Taylor of Comedy records. We worked together many years ago at 102.1 The Edge.

2 Bangers, a great chat and an acoustic jam with Winnipeg's Ex-Omerta. If you dig the sounds of QOTSA and Royal Blood, you've gotta check out this band

David Marsden is best know as the creator of CFNY in Toronto and led it during it’s most revered and influential time. New Wave and all of the wonderful, but mostly ignored post-punk music of the 80’s

He’s also one of 4 broadcasters featured in the documentary I Am What I Play, which as the title suggests, is about really standing up for what you believe in... credibility, trying to push things forward. Which he continues to do to this day through at NYTHESPIRIT.COM

Sam Coffey & The Iron Lungs have a new record coming in a few weeks. But we talk about Sea Shanties, playing Dungeons & Dragons on Twitch and an open challenge to Pete Townshend

This week, it's some real talk with Dean Blundell. The world, credibility and the nature of truth. What a time to be alive

I first met Ash & Jay back in 2008. At the time I was working in the music dept. at 102.1 the edge in Toronto and we put 'Hollow Point Sniper Hyperbole' in to Heavy rotation. It was a cool thing, a mostly unheard of local indie band getting the same spins as songs like Kings of Leon 'Sex on Fire', MGMT 'Kids' and Weezer 'Pork and Beans' and it fit right in.

They blew up and the rest is history as they say.

Now they have just released their final record 'Einsteins of Consciousness'. But for the sake of this episode, we'll start at the beginning.

In this episode Darryl talks to Jen Simpson of the band Neon Bloom. We also get to her new solo project Kit Vale. It's a little indie rock, a little hop hop and a good chat.

Over The Bridge isn't a band, but it's a name that musicians should know. It's a non-profit organization dedicated to the mental wellness of those in the music industry.

If you like your Rock n Roll fast, loud and fuzzed, check out Ottawa's Danny Van Sceney. Highly recommended if you'd dig a bit of desert sound & punk rock from a duo. Drummer & bassist
