Uncharted Riffs are back with another fun-filled episode, this time with the grunge-gaze Connecticut outfit Splitview. Following the release of their debut EP back in April, band member Erik goes into details about their adventures as an upcoming band, the developments into the local live scene and the hope to get back into the studio. Also Nick was incredibly ill, so that definitely added some much-needed silliness.

On this episode of Uncharted Riffs, Josh and Nick are joined by Austen, the frontman of Michigan alternative "yeeyeemo" outfit Potionseller. Following the release of their debut full-length album 'BUZZARD' back in May, Austin goes into details about its success, varying musical styles and the future of the band. If it's silliness you're looking for, discussions about dive bar culture, offensively strong alcoholic drinks and a major tangent into suburban Michigan structural integrity will hopefully mitigate that need.

On the latest episode of Uncharted Riffs, we are joined by French/American emo duo subtitles. After the major success of the debut album back in March, both Jake and Alex join us to talk about all things emo. From their transatlantic experiences writing songs on a 9-hour time difference to their roles on the live scene, these boys are busier than ever. Mix in a number of terribly executed sponsorships and Josh's inadvertent appearance halfway through and you have one of the channels most chaotic episodes to date.
