What's up, Undergrounders! I'm super excited to share this brand new episode with you. July 20th will always be hard day for everyone who's an LP fan. I'm glad I was able to have this awesome guest to commiserate with. Matt aka MNERVA is a drummer turned hip-hop artist who infuses rock into his sound. Matt claims Linkin Park as one of his biggest influences and favorite bands, and boy does he prove it. I had a great time discussing this iconic band. There is so much to talk about when it comes to LP and we wish we had time to discuss more, maybe we'll have to do a Part 2 in the future. Until then I hope you enjoy this episode.

Welcome back to a new episode of Return To The Underground. I apologize for the lull between episodes, I've been out of town for a lot of April and have been mainly focussed on my new music. In case you missed it, a song I was featured on was released April 9th (Whyel - Dead To Me ft. Havoc Faction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIdWjTYd-2A) and I'm releasing a new Havoc Faction song titled 'Crossfire' on  April 30th, so look out for that. 
This week's episode is a fun one. I sat down with Matt Skajem aka dESPAIN (formerly of Out With The Old and Best Kept Secret) and we chatted about his start in music and how much Panic! affected him at a young age and inspired his interest in becoming a musician. Enjoy our discussion of P!ATD and their rise to fame and how much more depth this band has than I originally knew. Stay tuned at the end of the episode to catch Matt's newest single Wake Me Up!

What's up Undergrounders, I'm back with a new episode that I'm really psyched to share with you all. I sat down with my buddy Billy  Sweet and talked about the legendary band, Sum 41! Billy was such a great guest, this guy just had me cracking up the whole time haha. We both had a lot of fun reminiscing on how Sum 41 made such a huge impact on, not only us, but the scene and music as a whole. So, break out your Dickies, and your Spiked hair styling gel and enjoy our convo about everyone's favorite Canadian punk band.

What's up Undergrounders! I finally brought some female energy to the podcast, I know it was very much needed. My awesome guest this week is the lovely Sierra Rose, lead singer of Jersey's own With Sails Ahead. if you love catchy progressive post-hardcore you'll love this band. I was stoked Sierra chose such a great underground band for this episode. For those of you who don't know Lower Definition, I highly suggest checking out their short but awesome discography and then returning to listen. For those of you who totally remember these San Diego locals, you're in for a treat. 

Be sure to follow Sierra and her band:

Hey Undergrounders, here is my first episode of 2021! I've gotten quite a few requests to do Circa Survive and I luckily was able to get the perfect guest for this episode. David is the frontman of Orange County's hometown heroes, Takers Leavers. This of course is a longer episode with a lot to unpack, but would you expect anything less for a band like Circa? I recently got a new setup and am learning this new mic, so I apologize for any sound issues, but regardless I hope you enjoy this episode. Hope you all are hanging in there and finding as much happiness as possible during these crazy times. I know I've had my fair share of ups and downs, but connecting with all of you through music helps me a lot. I'm always here and open to any sort of discussion so feel free to reach out via email or social media DM's. Thanks for listening!

I finally got to editing this special episode I did with my friend Michael Bevins. He's a producer/mixer/engineer based out of St. Louis, Missouri. He's been in the game for a while and has done some great work. I picked his brain about the production side of music, like what makes a great mix or what goes into mastering. We also talked about some of our favorite and least favorite mixes from bands that we love. If you'd like to hire Michael for mixing, mastering, or producing feel free to reach out at https://www.mbivens.com

I've received a lot of requests for a My Chem episode and I luckily found the right guest to do it with. I sat down with my first international guest, Alfie Roberts, bassist of U.K.'s gothic pop-punk band, Vampire Money. They just released Cemetery School, their newest EP and Alfie was very excited to talk about it as well as the huge influence MCR has on him and the band.  With My Chemical Romance being who they are, there was a lot to unpack in this episode. If there's any info or fun facts we may have missed about the band, the songs, the albums or the members, feel free to shoot me an email or a DM on my social media sites and I'll be sure to share it. Thanks for listening!

First off, I deeply apologize for the delay in this episode. I took some time to myself and went on a month long road trip over summer and when I got back I went through a moving transition with my girlfriend. Things are starting to settle down now and I'm looking forward to getting back into my groove. Thank you all for your patience. It's been incredible to see consistent download numbers even in my absence, so I appreciate all of your support! This episode was a lot of fun. My guest Ryan Sharp and I had a good time talking about a band who was a staple in the scene back in the early 2000's, with one of the best pop-punk records of all time in our humble opinion. Please enjoy our conversation about Relient K!

Welcome back, Undergrounders! I'm so excited to finally share this episode with you! My guest this week is Ian Scene. You may know him from his podcasts Ian's Untitled Scene Show as well as Ian Hates Music and Movies. I've been a fan of Ian's podcasts for a little while now, so I was ecstatic that he agreed to be a guest on my show! We dug in deep on one of the scene's best Post-Hardcore bands, From First To Last. I absolutely love this episode! I loved talking about this band because there's so many great topics and they have a very interesting and abnormal career, and Ian was the perfect person to talk about them with. I truly hope you enjoy this episode. I really feel like I'm finding my footing now and like I've mentioned before, I think this podcast is going to keep getting better and better. I've linked Ian's websites below so you can check his content. Thank you all for your continued support!
