  • Unsigned518 Podcast #95, Mr Every Day
    From the first moments of this episode, I knew it was going to be something extra cool. Mr Every Day is a dynamic, engaging, and infectiously positive individual. His story is one of the most interesting that I have told on this show. I honestly don't want to give anything away, but rather have you dig into Episode 95 with the man, the myth, the legend... Mr Every Day.

  • Unsigned518 Podcast #94, The Sugar Hold
    Ahead of their show with the Nolanauts and Erin Harkes (Cohoes Music Hall, Oct 7th), The Sugar Hold made a stop at the Dazzle Den, to do some catching up. In true Sugar Hold fashion, we had a couple of beers before we got rolling, so this episode will prove to be extra-entertaining. We also learn that The Sugar Hold have their own Tremolo pedal coming out from Poison Noises and have been working on a Halloween special with Jive Hive Live. So much to talk about and the beer fridge is full. Smoke 'em if you got 'em. It's The Sugar Hold.

  • Unsigned518 Podcast #93, Josh Morris
    If you are even tangentially aware of the 518 music scene, then you know who Josh Morris is. If not, here is your opportunity to get to know him. His first single under his own name, "Ready For Your Love", has gained international accolades and even charted on the BBC! 
     
    That is an amazing achievement and if you have heard the song, you'll quickly realize why it has done so well. In this episode, not only do we hear about Josh's lifelong relationship with music, but we also have his second single "When The Night Is Over" to play for you, ahead of its release date! 
     
    I am very excited for you to hear this episode and get a sneak peek at Josh's new single, which is sure to do as well, or better, than his first.

  • Unsigned518 Podcast #92, Reese Fulmer
    In the last five or so years, Reese Fulmer has built quite an impressive musical resume. His songwriting and delivery are, in my opinion, on par with national acts. His Carriage House Band is composed of some of the absolute top musicians in the area and he keeps that impressive cast rotating. So, while you may not know who will be in the Carriage House Band when you see them, you can be assured they will be of the very best. 
     
    Reese not only plays us a track from his live album, but also performs a song live on the episode that left me in awe.

  • Unsigned518 Podcast #91, B. Austin

    B. Austin has been crushing it lately. From winning awards, to having streaming numbers that transcend just the local scene. In this episode, we go into where B. Austin developed and honed his love of music as well as find out what current and upcoming projects are in his future. Get to know B. Austin on Episode 91 of Unsigned518.

  • Unsigned518 Podcast #90, Jordan Withers of Poison Noises

    This was such a cool episode to record. If you didn't know, Jordan and Poison Noises make guitar pedals and are very well known for the quality and craftsmanship of their products. Not only that, but recently, they have been teaming up with some 518 bands and helping them create their own signature pedals. Not only is Jordan's artistry top-notch, but his integrity is, too. He helps keep things within the grasp of the local bands, which are usually only reserved for the big national acts- although they certainly do make pedals for them as well. 

    Get to know Jordan and Poison Noises on this episode of Unsigned518, where we will also play a couple of tunes from some local bands that have their own Poison Noises pedal in their gear set-up—the E-Block and Halo Bite.

  • Unsigned518 Podcast #89, Brule County Bad Boys
    This episode was recorded just days before BCBB's blistering set at Nipperfest and I got the chance to sit down with Josh and Tex to discuss the history of the Bad Boys and how everything fell into place. It involves a pretty dramatic story with pounds of weed, the police and a not small amount of jail time. There the idea of the Brule County Bad Boys began. In a cell in, you guessed it, Brule county.
     
    But you don't want to hear it from me, so let the boys themselves tell you the story on episode 85 of Unsigned518 with Brule County Bad Boys.

  • Unsigned518 Podcast #88, Ben Zoleski
    I became friends with Ben long before this podcast existed and when ShortWave RadioBand was still a semi-acoustic duo playing cover tunes in the corner of local taprooms. Ben and his bandmates in Under The Den (Jay-No, Solo and Madison) were very supportive of us when we added John, Abby and Ryan and decided to make a go at original music. So much so that we call them and two (of the many) other bands that helped us fly in our early days (The Sugar Hold and E.R.I.E) out by name in our soon-to-be-released single "Along The Way".
     
    This episode was recorded just days before it was announced that Ben was stepping away from his duties in Under The Den for the foreseeable future, but I certainly already had that knowledge when I pressed record. For that reason, we do not talk about his leaving the band, but instead focus on what he will be doing as a solo artist going forward. 
     
    Ben also performs two original songs live in-studio.
     
    My love for Ben and every single member of Under The Den is no secret and I know that both outfits will thrive in the 518 and beyond. In the meantime, hear about what Ben will be up to going forward on episode 88 of Unsigned518.

  • Unsigned518 Podcast #87, Man Must Explore
    This is technically the second time Man Must Explore has been on Unsigned518, but the last time they were on, they were a different band. Quite literally. A couple of members of the previous lineup of MME went on to form other local favorites, Flat Wounds. MME added a couple of new members and this lineup was solidified. Ryan and I have crossed paths several times in the last year or so, and he even sang the bridge to the ShortWave RadioBand song 'Dont Care' when we played it at a show last fall and appeared in our music video for 'So Long, THe Hopeful'. So MME are not only personal friends, but friends of this podcast and ShortWave RadioBand. I'm excited for you to catch up with what is new with Man Must Explore on episode 90 of Unsigned518.

  • Unsigned518 Podcast #86, Tops of Trees
    My point is, Tops of Trees are too diverse to be put into one box. It is evident in the well crafted songs that there are many musical influences that go into making their tunes. But it is more difficult as you listen, to pin down those influences because the songs are wholly original. The guys in the band were also a very welcome presence in the Dazzle Den, and I feel like we fairly instantly bonded and became pals. I even invited them to participate in a special show that I have coming up this winter. But, more on that later, right now check out episode 86 with Tops of Trees.
