It's always been a mystery to me, why Fidelity Jones never fully got their due. This band was driven, righteous, fierce musicians and a band that always brought it live. Maybe it was that the first record didn't fully capture the magic they were capable of. Thank God they put this single out, to set things right. This is damn near perfect piece of plastic. Hopefully this show can help bring some new folks to the band and inspire some to revisit the band's spiritual protest songs. We got to sit down with everyone in the band a second time and this episode also features a track of Tomas/Onam's impossible to find solo lp (featuring all of Fidelity Jones on this track). Give this a listen and get ready to be inspired!

And so it begins,...the next chapter of punk to come. Nation Of Ulysses were many contradictory impulses at once. A raw howl of primal punk noise, a highly literate and clever underground resistance philosophy disguised as a hardcore group of teens, a highly self conscious group of outsiders dressing as the hipster elite, a movement, a band, an art movement. Were they successful? Did they live up to their lofty aims? Did any of them get "canceled"? Many mysteries without answers. Anyhow, today we  go undercover and infiltrate the cult of Ulysses. Can't say it wasn't unexpectedly a blast. Guitarist Tim Green fills us in on what it was like on the inside of this worldwide organization. This isn't your parent's Dateline...

Spoiler Alert : We love Shudder To Think! Thusly, it was an honor and blast to dive into the liminal state of this record's environs, as well as speak with the entire band. Episodes like this one are the reason I do this podcast. Enjoy! 

As we move into the 90s Dschord catalog and start a brand new year, what better way than with a band that pretty much epitomized the 90s post hc sound. that's right, we've finally arrived at the beginning of the Jawbox dynasty. Along for the ride this week is drummer Adam Wade, who drummed in not one, but two of the best bands of that era (Jawbox and Shudder To Think, respectively). Come for the stories, stay for the music!

We've come to the third movie ( oops, I mean compact disc) in the Repeater Trilogy! This is the capstone on the blather from Jeff and I on this release, plus we had a special guest cohost with us this time. That's right, it's the return of Aldred to the show. If all that weren't enough, Repeater producer Ted Niceley joins us for a third time, as well. Artie Phillie talks with Jeff about booking Fugazi and his old band, Indecision, covering them, and Josh Erickson, who runs the We Need An Instrument Instagram page, drops by to talk about what the band and this record mean to him. its a power packed episode folks!

Damn, no need for words up top on this one. I think everyone knows how massive and how important this release is. Not sure four hours and change was enough time to cover it all, ha. This episode features-art one of a two part Ted Nicely interview about producing Repeaeter. One of my favorite interviews of his. 1-2-3-go! 

3 Songs! Two hosts! One interview! No bullshit! 
Join us as we navigate the contours of Fugazi's 3rd release, talk to producer Ted Niceley and miraculously keep it concise. 

This week we dig into the Holy Rollers' first LP, As Is. This one was a pleasant surprise. Lots of hidden gems to discover if you take the time with this band. Jeff and I are joined by a couple of members of the Patreon group (Drew Lichtenberg and Scott Sheridan) to roundtable the discussion and we had blast! Right after the record talk, we chat with Holy Rollers guitarist, Marc Lambiotte. Stay connected, stay involved, stay in touch!

One of the sleeper gems of the Dischord catalog here. It was a fun conversation/listen/full band interview. Where else are you going to hear talk of Jethro Tull, the Shakers, veganism and Mothers Finest on a podcast about one record?

Some could argue that Dischord is the house that Minor threat built. None could argue with their place in the cannon of the greatest heavy bands of the 20th century. Join us as we tiptoe through the hits on this career spanning episode, As an added bonus, Ben "Edge" Merlis guest stars as third cohost. Luke Dolan from Latest God stops by. As does Mark Haggerty from iron Cross and Gray Matter. Lastly, Jason Hamacher reminds us "there's no place like home,...". It's a rip roaring good time
