Thrash & Throttle

Before I left for my month and a half long vacation, I had Jordan stop by the studio to talk about all things guitars. He plays in a band called Husbandry which just released some new goodies. On top of that, you might recognize him from doing a metric ton of videos at The Music Zoo. We met a few years back and hit it off with our love for wood and steel strings!

Back in December, I sat down with the one and only Gary Holt. Best known for being the main fiddle player in Exodus. He also had a massive stint in Slayer taking over stage right duties for Jeff Hanneman. We got to hangout a ton while on tour together a few months back and it was an absolute pleasure!

My next guest is my man Rob also known as The Crazy Gentleman. He runs an awesome podcast titled with the same name and travels across the country to numerous motorcycle events. All around rad dude. New York guy through and Through. Enjoy!

Yeah I know its been a while but I'm back on the wagon getting some new episodes in.  This week I talked with John Denton from Denton Performance Design. They specialize in aftermarket parts and bike building all while trying to etch their name into Atlanta motorcycle history. We talk about about bikes(obviously), music, and the direction that the motorcycle industry is headed. 

This episode I sat down with Chris Drew to talk about how he got started with Spoke & Dagger Co. Located in Buffalo, NY, Its one of the sickest clothing shops I've been in. Not only do they sell clothes and accessories, but you can also pick up maintenance essentials for your bike. We talk about how he got into bikes, his move down to Florida to attend school for mechanics, and how him and his wife built the shop to what it is today. 

This week I talked with my man Tony Medellin. Most people know him from his big win on Inkmaster Season 11, but we go back well over a decade. We both came from the DIY touring scene and have built our followings in similar markets. We got the chance to talk about our mutual affection for custom bikes and cars, the nonstop hustle behind tattooing and running a brand, and how I need to get my ass down to the El Diablo Run next year. 

On Episode 2, I chop it up with Xavier Muriel. Best known for his lengthy stint playing drums for Buckcherry, this dude is now one of the sickest bike builders in the game. I had a slew of topics I wanted to hit but our conversation took its own direction and I barely got to bring up half the stuff I wanted to talk about. We touch on his drumming influences, the fact that we're both gear nerds, and how he crossed over into bike building after he was done with touring. 

On the first episode of the Thrash & Throttle Podcast, I talk with Andrew from the band I AM. He is by far one of my favorite front men and I'm stoked he was able to do this. We caught up a bit Since we're both home and not able to tour with the COVID-19 situation going on. We get into how the current state of the touring world is at a stand still, exploring curiosities in the fetish scene, and how we got into motorcycles with the help of a couple friends.
