City of Iron is a band based out of (practices in) Meriden, CT. We were joined by 5 out of 6 of the members (Tyler got stuck at work). We talk about music. We talk about video games. There's a decent amount of laughing. Check it out!

Honestly, this one is just a fun romp with a fun crew. Anything I say about it would just ruin it while you listen in. Just give it a listen. Oh, and there's a snippet of new unreleased as yet music!

Gun to God's Head is a fairly new local metalcore band. Members who joined us on the podcast this month are Del (frontwoman/vocalist), Kane (also notably a member of current very active band Vomit Forth), and Brandon (who plays in so many bands he can't name them off the top of his head, ha! We might've put him on the spot in this episode).

Kane, Del & Brandon

This episode could very much serve as a primer to metalcore (and shoegaze and some other off-shoot inspirations) through the filter of 3 members of Gun to God's Head. I felt that so much that I announced during the show that I would make a playlist. So I did. Here it is. Definitely listen to the show and then skim through this playlist and take in the stuff that may be new to you or you want to check out more deeply. Lots of bands mentioned in this show.

Check the show out. It's a fun one!

Shari & Eric joined us on the podcast this month. They are 2/3 of the owners (Pete had to run the bar at the time of recording) of The Cellar on Treadwell - a venue in Hamden, CT that has a bit of history (with a few different names in the past).

We open, as usual, with what we're listening to and move on to how The Cellar on Treadwell became a thing and the struggles of opening just before a pandemic hit and now striving with a fairly full schedule full of local and touring acts.

Jay Holmes and Kyle Holmes are brothers and 2 out of 3 of the owner/operators of Ritual Pizza Co. in Cheshire, CT (operating out of the Counter Weight Brewing space). Ken (the other owner/operator) couldn't make it for fatherly reasons.

We talk about what we're listening to. We talk about how deeply ingrained the music they listen to is to their business and how it informs what they do from the visual design aspects to just how they vibe while cooking and how they want to incorporate what they do into events at the brewery and beyond that.

We talk about the beginnings of the operation doing pop ups and now recently moving from Manchester to Cheshire. We're looking forward to having them there for our next record fair (in October)! Oh, and we talk about Manners, a hardcore band Jay was in, ever so briefly. We veer off in a few directions. Check it out!

Tyler and Jen of the Neu Body collective who put on the frequent Heatsync parties and have now released a 12" EP including 4 tracks from as many members of the crew. Tyler has been shopping at the store since he was a pre-teen! We talk about his brief brush with hype beast fame and general musical trajectory.

Jen's musical trajectory is discussed and her painful dismissal from a college indie/punk band and how that possibly directed her towards DJing and electronic music and its production. Conversation moves on from there. We get into all things Neu Body and about talk about what we're listening to and so on!
