In episode 284 of the podcast, we’re joined by Chris Teti (guitarist) and Anthony Gesa (guitarist) of The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die. 

We dig into their come ups with the band, our mutual love of Hum, band group chats, and their excellent new album, ‘Dreams of Being Dust’, out now on Epitaph Records. 

This was a fun one. Anthony and Chris fit right in to the Podioslave Venn diagram, and we really think you’ll enjoy the record.

We dig into Dave’s musical come up, the early days of Fireworks, their evolution from record to record, and where they are at as a band today. Fireworks continues to be a band we’ve loved for two decades, and this conversation only deepened that connection. This was a special one for us!

In episode 281 of the podcast, we answer questions…..from you!

The mailbag is back, and full of fun nerdery throughout. We tackle questions from you, the PodHeads. What band could sell out football stadiums if they reunited? Is Taylor Swift the most popular musician of all time? What’s an underrated album we slept on in the moment? We answer these, and more. 

Thanks to everyone who tossed us some questions, this was a fun one!

In episode 280 of the podcast, we’re joined in person by legendary Maine musician, Dave Gutter.

We dig into his nearly 40 years as a musician, his numerous projects, including Rustic Overtones, Paranoid Social Club, Armies and more, working with/winning a Grammy writing a song for Aaron Neville, and his fabulous new solo record ‘The Music Industry is Trying to Kill Me’.

There is so much that went into this convo, from our early love of Rustic Overtones, to Dave’s continuous work as a very talented and very underrated songwriter, and everything in between. Come for the music nerdery, and stay for the (unwelcome) sports takes!

In episode 279 of the podcast, we dig into the classic Ataris album from 2003, ‘So Long, Astoria’.

We talk our early memories of the album, where the band was at around the time, the heavy themes of nostalgia throughout the record, and much more. This album was huge for us in the moment, and it continues to be one we come back to time and time again. 

We start the episode with a little talk surrounding how we used to consume music around the time of this record’s release (2003). Let us know how you indulged in nerdery during this time!

In episode 278 of the podcast, we’re joined by prolific drummer, and all around awesome guy, Jay Weinberg.

We dig into all kinds of different territory with Jay. Touring with Suicidal Tendencies in support of the almighty Metallica, going from playing the massive stage to the club scene in the same week, how he approaches writing/playing as a new member of a band, how playing with Bruce Springsteen in place of his dad Max helped to shape his view of family, music, and so much more. Jay rules, and this convo was a blast. 

Keep an eye out for Jay’s drum clinics, playing King Gizzard’s ‘Field of Vision’ in August, and new music he’s working on. We dig into all of that here as well.

In episode 277 of the podcast, we dig into the legendary album from The Smashing Pumpkins, ‘Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness’, with friend of the pod and the King of Maine, Spose. 

We talk our first memories of the album, the hold it had on us from the jump, it’s ability to move from genre to genre, and the audacity to put out such a masterpiece during the mid 90’s. A true one of one record. 

We start the episode with a little catch up with Spose. He has a few shows in the northeast this summer, check them out on his website below.

We dig into 3 classic Trustkill releases from Poison The Well, Terror, and Bleeding Through. We find out the circumstances of how the records came to be, how the bands ended up working with Trustkill, and everything in between. There are all kinds of nerdery nuggets throughout, and these types of convos are some of our favorites to have.

We start the episode with a little history of Trustkill, how it’s back in full force, and how Hellfest is also resurrected. This year’s version of Hellfest is this coming Friday, July 4/5/6.

In episode 275 of the podcast, we’re joined by Robert “Woody” Nelson, podcaster and radio personality, as well as Deftones superfan, to talk all things ‘White Pony’.

We dig into our early memories of the record, the steps that lead the band up to this point, the new chances taken, and the honing of the sound of the band. ‘White Pony‘ and its legacy can’t be denied. We wouldn’t be a podcast without records like this one!

We start the episode with Woody’s involvement in ‘For The Song You Saved’, the brand new Deftones compilation record he helped produce. This features 23 different artists covering songs from across the band’s catalog. All proceeds from this compilation go to Oasis For Youth, a foundation in Minnesota that helps support young people experiencing homelessness. Take a peek at the links below.
