I had a delightful conversation with singer-songwriter Keri Latimer about the new Leaf Rapids LP, which -- if you're listening right when this podcast comes out -- was just released today!

Here's our chat about the record and subsequent tour (kicking off tonight, April 19, at Times Change[d]!), Americana/Canadiana, dreamlike songs, terrifying clown paintings, and more…

(...and yes, this episode jumped the queue because I wanted it to coincide with the release date)

If you heard episode #886, which came out earlier this month, you know what this is. 

It's the second collection of interviews I did for the now-defunct YouTube show 'Mom's House', which was a project by local DIY filmmaking collective Young Media. 

This episode features three interviews I conducted as a guest host (plus live performances) for the show, featuring Colour by Numbers -- a band that includes Jared Adams, who was just on the podcast last month for episode #880 and Alex Kozub (episode #542)-- Joe Curtis (who appeared on episode #313), and Jacob Letkeman (#633 as a member of A Topiary) and Chenoa McKelvey (#532 with Smith's Onion).

Synthesizer enthusiast C. Samms has an imminent new LP, ‘Bouquet’ (out May 3), so we sat down to talk about the album — the first C. Samms release in five years or so.

This episode features our conversation about adding a human element to machine sounds, releasing the new album on cassette (and vinyl), converting the songs to a live setting, and more!

Remember Solhounds? It’s been a minute, but the 'heavy metal grunge' outfit is back this month for their first show in five years or so (April 26 at the West End Cultural Centre).

They’ll be playing two sets: one of original music, and the other… heavy versions of music from the Shania Twain songbook.

Here's our conversation about the reunion gig, what the future holds, the WHY?!?!? of the whole SolTwain thing, and much more!

I'm not the only one out here interviewing local artists. Beginning in 2017, a group of DIY filmmakers who operated as a collective called Young Media put out a YouTube show called 'Mom's House'. 

The short-lived channel featured a bunch of guest hosts, and I was lucky enough to have hosted a total of six episodes. 'Mom's House' is long-defunct, and while the videos are still out there on Young Media's inactive YouTube channel, I thought it would be fun to reintroduce the show to Witchpolice podcast listeners.

This episode features three interviews I conducted (plus live performances) for the show, featuring Northern Lights Drive, Jason G. Eastwood (also heard on the podcast on episode #668), plus Micah Erenberg (#499) with Sophie Stevens (#304).

Stay tuned for a part II, featuring three more artists, to be released in the next couple of weeks.

The reason Quinton Blair is one of my favourite guests on the podcast is the same reason he’s one of my favourite local songwriters: dude can tell a story.

I caught up with Q on the road outside a truck stop somewhere in Alberta. Here's our conversation about his new music, weekend jaunts out west, learning a songbook and a half of country covers through osmosis, pop radio maintaining its stranglehold on country… and much more!

Instrumental trio (drums/bass/Rhodes) Compost recently put out an excellent debut tape of “nutrient rich music for a healthy body and mind” — inspired by ‘90s hip-hop beats, jazz, electronic music, etc.

Stay tuned for a conversation about their improv-heavy writing and recording process, future plans, and much more!

Although a global pandemic threw a wrench into their initial reunion plans four years ago, reggae/soul/rock n’ rollers SubCity are coming back for one night only at the Park Theatre April 13.

Here's my conversation with Darryl (sax) and Johannes (vocals/guitar) about next month’s show — their first as SubCity in a dozen years — the band’s history and legacy, whether they’re a ska band and how to define it, and much more.

Although neither guest has been on the podcast before to talk about SubCity, they've each been on a few times to talk about other projects over the years. Darryl was on episodes #040 (Sept. 2013) and #058 (Jan. 2014), plus he played in our Big Mix-Up and Little Mix-Up bands (#220 and #216, 2017). Johannes was on episodes #269 (Feb. 2018), #458 (Feb. 2020), and #683 (April 2022).

This one's a little different. It's part of a series of episodes I'm doing in collaboration with local rapper Ezoman's Creative Side Entertainment for this year's 'Future of M"you"sic' competition, which is a six-month long showcase of up-and-coming local artists at the Limelight.

Here's the first episode, which is similar to my old Quick Hits format (remember that?), and it features a clip of Ezoman giving some background on the event, plus micro-interviews with a few of the artists participating in the first stage of the competition on March 28: Isxxc Jxmes, Laurel Chante, J Krish, Miggz & Skye, and Ben Notes.

I sat down with Glenn and Wyatt of grunge-pop outfit Gladly to talk about the fundraising campaign for their new record, balloons, wanting to start tabloid-style feuds with other local bands, the proper BPM for pogoing, and much more.

Need more Gladly in your life? Check out episode #646 (Dec. 2021), which features a 'quick hit' interview with Glenn!
