Happy Holidays.

In this episode we interview a few members of The Control. The Control were a band that was around from 1999-2003. It was one of many Jeremy Smith bands (Dead Hearts, Halfmast, No Reason, Tuning) and this in my opinion is the most "punk" sounding of all of his bands and maybe my (mark) favorite of all of his bands. We talked to him, Kevin (Singer) and Steve (drummer) .  We talked about the history of the band and all that usual great stuff. Dont hear much name checking of The Control these days so we hope this gives people a little insight into this great band.

Episode music is "No Answers" from thier 10 inch on +/- records.

Jeremy has been in a slew of bands including but not limited to Amphetamine Lovechild, Drought, The Fallen, Old Ghosts & GOA and a few more that escape me right now. It was fun chatting with ths old friend and we hope you enjoy this as much as we loved doing it!

In this episode we recorded a live interview of Snapcase at Other Half Brewing in downtown Buffalo . To celebrate the release of Snapcases's "Optic" book they had a show that was dubbed Bridging the Gap. The show included Smash N Grab, Spaced, Exhibition, Cinderblock, All Out War and of course Snapcase. In this episode we assembled all of the members of Snapcase and former members Chris Galas and Bob Whiteside. We talked about the band and it seemed like everyone had a great story to tell! Many stories were told that we heard for the first and we were super proud to be a part of it!

In our 101st episode of the podcast we interviewed Tim Redmond & Dennis Merrick of Cinderblock. Looking back Cinderblock was a Buffalo "supergroup" comprised of members of Snapcase, Earth Crisis Against All Hope, Terror and many more. The thing is this group got together before any of thier more well known bands got really big. We chatted with these two about the band why it formed , the history during the 1st run and why they came back. It was a fun conversation as always and we look forward to what the future hold for these guys.
