Episode 289 features The Open Flames from London, England. The band includes members of Sleepy Kitty and Harvey Danger. In the interview, I spoke with Dave Eastman, Paige Brubeck, and Evan Sult. Paige and Evan were calling in from NYC. It was a fun conversation—we talked about all things music, Europe, and the daily grind. In the episode, I featured their track "Drop a Coin" as well as a brand-new song called "Eat Alone," which comes out on Nov 9. Dave even played a live version of the track at the end of the conversation. It's super catchy and reminds me of the heyday of the Oasis/REM 90s rock era. Thanks for listening and supporting local music!

Episode 288 features Scott Homebrew, a photographer in the Baltimore area and a good friend of mine. This is his second time on the show. He’s been shooting photos all over the DMV for many years now, and chances are, if you play music in the area, you’ve seen his work. In our conversation, we talked about a lot of local venues as well as the shows he’s been shooting. Scott's favorite band is 311, so I featured a song of his choosing, which was "Life’s Not a Race." You can find Scott’s work on Instagram at @mr.homebrew_photography, and if you need photos for your next show, he’s great to work with. Thanks for supporting local music and local artists!

Episode 285 features Ryan "Swimsuit" Calonder from Disco Risqué, a funky, jazzy rock band out of Charlottesville, VA, known for their use of horns.

Episode 281 features John from The Mack Brothers, an indie band from Philly. They just released a new album called Southern Skies. I featured the song “Fruit Punch Loko” on this episode, which we talked about in the interview. John and I both had an affinity for Four Lokos back in the day. I should also mention that this is at least the second time The Mack Brothers have been on the show. Our bands have become fast friends from playing together over the past couple of years in Philly and have had a lot of good times. So it was great to catch up with them and hear about everything they’ve been up to musically. If you like the new album, you can find it on Spotify and wherever you listen to music. Thanks for listening and supporting local artists.
