Look At My Records!

In Episode 22, Tom previews the second annual North Jersey Indie Rock Festival, which is happening on Saturday September 23rd from 11AM to 9PM at Cathedral Hall in Jersey City. The festival boasts 24 fantastic bands representing five New Jersey based labels for the BARGAIN PRICE OF ONLY 10 DOLLARS! Given the amount of awesomeness spread across this lineup, it's certainly a can't miss!

Tom chatted with two of his favorite bands slated to play the festival, Professor Caveman and LKFFCT. Both groups have brand new releases coming out SUPER SOON on Sniffling Indie Kids. Listen in to hear "Lemon Water" and "Vaseline" off of Professor Caveman's Volume 3, which has a planned physical release in late 2017. Plus, LKFFCT shares "Hatchling" and "Anesthesia" off of their latest full length, "Dawn Chorus." "Dawn Chorus" is dropping on October 9th, but you can hear it here first!

That's not all, though! Tom has plenty of lit AF tracks from bands playing the festival, including Spowder, Dentist, The Rock n' Roll Hi-Fives, Shred Flinstone, AND MORE!

You can see all of these great acts and more this Saturday September 23rd at Cathedral Hall in Jersey City! Hope to see you there!

Episode 21 starts off with a bang! That's right, the brand new album from Toronto natives Alvvays just dropped and Tom cannot stop spinning that wax! Catch them live at Brooklyn Steel on October 5th.

Then Tom plays some new tracks from Antietam, Teen Daze, Varsity, and Protomartyr. Plus jams from local favorites Yucky Duster, Cherubim, and Steve Gunn. As always, all of these highly talented artists are conveniently playing LIVE within the NYC area. Get out there and dance your butt off to their tunes this weekend!

Tom rounds out the program with a special track "Jeffrey, I Hear You." This song is dedicated to my friend and law school classmate, Jeff Eloy, who passed away on September 17, 2013. Jeff loved music and is missed by many!

In Episode 20, Tom sits down with Emmy Black, President and Founder of New Jersey based record label Rhyme and Reason Records. Listen as they talk about new releases from Rhyme and Reason artists, Sweet Crude, Pronoun, and of course, Glenn Morrow's Cry For Help!  Plus lots of chatter about Emmy's background at Bar None Records, the Rhyme and Reason origin story, and of course, plenty of picks from Tom's collection.  Spoiler alert: their picks are very Bar None/Hoboken heavy.  Thanks to Emmy for stopping by and gifting me an amazing Bar None Records pin and R&R tote bag.  LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE!
