Raygun Busch from Chat Pile
I don't think I have been more floored by a band in recent memory than I was with Chat Pile and their LP "God's Country" as it combined all of the elements of experimental metal/punk/hardcore in a perfect stew of discontent. Raygun Busch is the vocalist of the Oklahoma City band and we discussed his passion for film, his involvement in drama and debate in high school and supporting your local scene. Get to know him and his band if you don't already!

I am honored to bring Sergie Loobkoff from Samiam on the pod this week. He's also spent his time in bands like Knapsack, Ways Away, Solea and much more.

Very pleased to welcome Aaron Heard from Jesus Piece on the pod this week as his band dropped a MASSIVE new record on us called "...So Unknown" which for sure will be on many people's year end lists (including mine). Aaron discussed his time growing up in and around Philly, skateboarding and a moment in his life that is reminiscent of the film Forrest Gump. Dig in and enjoy!

Madison Woodward from Object Of Affection, Brain Dead Studios, Sound and Fury
I love seeing people hustling and keeping busy and Madison Woodward is a shining example of that behavior. He plays in two awesome bands, Fury and Object of Affection while being a partner in the music festival Sound and Fury AND runs the events for the rad space here in Los Angeles called Brain Dead Studios. Needless to say, we had a lot to discuss and spoke about intentional touring, OC hardcore and event planning. Oh, did I forget to mention he also puts on wrestling shows? Yep, he's a hustler.
