Unsigned518

After watching Haunted Cat perform an amazing set at Lark Hall on 8/12/22, I knew that I wanted to have Drew come on the show and discuss the origin of Haunted Cat. Drew gives us insight into his songwriting and stage performance, as well as where Haunted Cat may be headed in the future. It is a great conversation with a talented and captivating performer.

This episode is a little different. I speak with Kevin Cardinale, who has been a 518 musician for years. The only difference is that Kevin recently relocated to Seattle. We discuss not only Kevin's history in the 518 but also get a feel for how similar or different the Seattle scene is from ours. We also talk about Kevin's band No More Death Stars and their new album, which will be available everywhere soon.

I sat down with Mayheaven to discuss his musical journey leading up to now. From folk music to sludgy doom-metal up to his current more acoustic incarnation. Mayheaven is an intriguing act and one that you will certainly be hearing more of. Join me as we get to know a little more about Mayheaven on Episode 31 of Unsigned518.

Andy sat down with Ed Schwarzschild of Doctor Baker recently and discussed how positive encouragement helped drive Ed's music and how a chance meeting at a bakery helped launch Doctor Baker. Doctor Baker is a great band, poised to do wonderful things. Now is your chance to learn more about them on Episode 29 of Unsigned518 with Ed Schwarzschild of Doctor Baker.

Joseph is a very interesting dude, with deep family roots in the 518. His music is a very unique combination of Folk and Psychedelic Rock. But, it is not just his music that is interesting. Joseph is also a very accomplished Lapidarist. Don't know what a Lapidarist is? Listen to Episode 27 with Joseph Biss and find out. Oh and Joseph also plays some acoustic songs live, in-studio.

This episode with the boys of Under The Den never aired, due to the band being scheduled on another show the same week. But, the episode was too good to let it sit on a shelf. So, while it may be a little dusty, please enjoy this episode with 3/4ths of one of my favorite 518 bands, Under The Den.

Black Tongue Reverend are a relatively new band, that had their initial 518 debut cut short at the last minute as one of their members came down with covid. They've worked hard and are ready to share their bluesy, Black Sabbath-inspired, kickass rock around the 518. Learn about their origins and where they plan on taking BTR in the near future, as I sit down with Jeff and Eric on Episode 26 of Unsigned518.

I've had my eye on Seize Atlantis for a while. They caught my attention in April at Empire Underground when they played with Under The Den and Sydney Worthley. I was impressed with their energy and stage presence and have seen them play several times since then (I even have a personalized pressing of one of their songs from their recent Leesta Vall direct-to-vinyl recording sessions), so I am very psyched to introduce these guys to anyone who doesn't already know their name.

Expect big things from Seize Atlantis, but in the meantime, listen to episode 25 and get to know a little more about them, as told by frontman James Mullen.
