Good chat on this episode with two members of crossover thrash outfit Trauma Shot!

Tune in for a conversation about their brand-spankin' new EP, ‘Where Weakness Dies’, shifting toward more hardcore influences, and much more…

Note: this one jumped the queue a little bit because the new EP just came out a day or two ago, so it was a little time-sensitive.

Fun hang with long-running local screaming enthusiasts Yer Mum, who are capping off more than a dozen years of punk rock with one last hurrah!

Stay tuned for a conversation about Yer Mum’s last show (March 28 at the Osborne Taphouse), songs that never got recorded, jumping over people on skateboards, their actual mums’ opinions on the band, and more…

Note: one of the band members had kind of a shitty connection, so it can be a bit choppy when he speaks, but it doesn't detract from the overall quality of the conversation.

These episodes are the absolute worst. I realize that with the sheer quantity of podcasts I do, the odds are that some of the people I've interviewed are going to pass away too soon, but it's never any easier. 

This episode compiles various appearances on the show by Jory Strachan, who was a member of the bands 1971 and Rust Owl, and made solo music under the name Wrecker.

Note: this episode was supposed to come out a little earlier, but I got sick and it got delayed. Sorry!

It’s been a few years since Jordan Basso made music at the helm of country rockers The Moonlit Road.

Local “no core” punks Pink Snot are on the verge of releasing the new long-player ‘Dead Messenger’, so we sat down for a conversation about punk rock concept albums, the way their sound has progressed, some huge upcoming shows, and more!

Note: As sometimes happens when interviewing a group of people (in the same room) remotely, there are some weird echo things that happen occasionally on this one, where it may sound like one of the band members' voices has temporarily doubled. I don't think it detracts from the conversation at all, but just wanted to point it out.
