Look who decided to show up. Swancasting! We are releasing this episode just in time for Gatsby's American Dream reunion show. Every DGD fan knows and loves Nic Newsham. Uneasy Hearts Weight the Most is still DGDs #2 song on Spotify as well as still is a touring staple. We start off talking some halo but quickly dive into how he TURNED DOWN the opportunity to be DGD's lead singer. We hit some major topics such as how Gatsby's album Volcano was a major influence to Brandon Urie and Panic at the Disco's forst album, and his bangers with one of our favorites Strawberry Girls. On the second half of the pod we focus on his career with Gatsby and The money Pit. If you haven't listened to The Money Pit you better and your welcome. A special thanks to Nic for his time and being patient with the slow release (Almost two years later) of this pod. He couldn't be a cooler dude. If you are anywhere near LA (or not I am flying there from NJ) you do not want to miss their reunion tour 4/28/23. Tickets can be found here

Hello Everyone,

Its been a while but do we have a band for you swan core fans. Meet Pulses! They bring the funk and they ooze with style so many styles. Not your typical post hardcore band they stand tall above the rest. So shake up your daily post hardcore playlist and add their discography. Shane got an opportunity to talk to the guys after sick show. Unfortunately he was drunk like shit. Some times when you do an interview you have to drag the answers out of a band this time Pulses kept the ship afloat.  We will definitely be doing a full interview with them in the future before they are too big to talk to us! 

Zac is back! Do you guys even read the description? Ill make one any way so I remember what happened. I think I may have blacked out from all the exclusive he gave us. Anyway I guess we didn't screw up too bad on our first interview because Zac Garren came back on and gave us some   great nuggs. We talk about his song on the new DGD album, his new releases with (ex DGD , ex a lot like birds,  and current royal coda front man) Kurt Travis, his new solo album and the new strawberry girls album.  We talk about his other projects including Gordon Bombay a hidden Mod Sun album.  Zac is the best ! We are so stoked ! Enjoy!

This is just a teaser clip from the upcoming  Donovan Melero episode.

No scripts No notes No preparation! (Almost no Editing) Just firing from the hip giving you our raw hot takes on the Tree City Session 2 live stream. Some of our feelings have changed with time, but just let this reaction episode bring you back to that November night on the Tower Bridge in Sacramento.  We discuss to what degree was the stream a live performance, ask if Jon Mess'ed up on NASA, fight about if any of the songs were stronger than the album version, and Rob learns the difference between funk and soul. Enjoy

Things get real honest and emotional as Matt Geise explains why Lower Definition broke up and how they got back together again. Matt  also gives us some hints about the new Lower Definition album. We can't thank Matt enough for opening up and talking about tough issues.
